2022 Ford Bronco Raptor Officially Rated At 418 HP And 440 LB-FT Of Torque

Ford Bronco Raptor fans are in for some good news as CEO Jim Farley has revealed the highly anticipated model is more powerful than originally estimated.

While the automaker had projected the SUV’s twin-turbo 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 would produce more than 400 hp (298 kW / 406 PS), it’s officially rated at 418 hp (312 kW / 424 PS) and 440 lb-ft (596 Nm) of torque.

To put those numbers into perspective, the Bronco comes standard with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder developing up to 300 hp (224 kW / 304 PS) and 325 lb-ft (440 Nm) of torque on premium gasoline. Customers can also upgrade to a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, which churns out 330 hp (246 kW / 335 PS) and 415 lb-ft (562 Nm) of torque on premium. As a result, the Bronco Raptor has an 88 hp (66 kW / 89 PS) and 25 lb-ft (33 Nm) advantage over the 2.7-liter V6.

The idea for #BroncoRaptor was an Ultra4 racing-inspired Bronco built for high speed off-roading & extreme rock crawling.
The target was 400 horsepower.
Now it's official: 418hp + 440lbs-ft of torque!

While more power is always welcome, the Bronco Raptor pales in comparison to the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392. It features a massive 6.4-liter V8 engine with 470 hp (350 kW / 477 PS) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque. That gives it a sizable 52 hp (39 kW / 53 PS) and 30 lb-ft (41 Nm) advantage over the bucking Bronco.

That being said, the Bronco Raptor is more than just a twin-turbo engine. Designed to appeal to hardcore off-road enthusiasts, the range-topping model features a reinforced structure, beefier axles, an upgraded transfer case, and a thoroughly revised suspension. The model also rides on 37-inch BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrain tires and has 13.1 inches (333 mm) of ground clearance.
