The new Ford Bronco is one of the most popular new SUVs in a decade. In fact, the Blue Oval has had to increase production goals and adjust to the demand. The public wants the Bronco so badly that last month it had a turn time of seven days. That means that a new model sat on the dealer lot for just a week on average before it was purchased.
Despite all of the hype, there’s still more to come from Ford and it’s coming in the most fearsome form available. Right now, the Bronco is offered with two engines and a maximum output of 330 hp. That’s not bad but it’s nowhere near what Jeep offers in its Wrangler 392, which makes 470-horsepower and sounds even meaner.
To combat the 392, Ford is building a Bronco Raptor and today, we’ve got new photos of the hyped SUV from the folks at Ranger6g.com. In them, we see not just the Bronco Raptor but what is likely a couple of Ranger Raptors as well. That’s right, if you didn’t know, the F-150 Raptor has two more versions joining the pack.

These photos were taken in Arizona between Congress and Yarnell. That’s a rugged tract of land about 10 miles (16 km) from point to point. From what we can see in the pictures it looks like both vehicles are far more muscularly styled than their normal variants.
According to the photographer who captured these images, the vehicles were tested on winding mountain roads. That might explain why neither one is caked in dust or mud. Dirt is notable on the front tires of the Bronco Raptor, however these vehicles weren’t on pavement the entire time.
Aside from the obvious tweaks to the bodywork, it’s clear to see that both Raptors are considerably taller than the other trims in their lineup. The photographer also notes that all three vehicles were powered by V6s, which seems to confirm previous reports for both the Ranger and the Bronco.
Thankfully, we won’t have to wait much longer to learn about what’s under the hood of the Bronco. Ford has teased a major announcement coming next month so stay tuned.
