The fuel-sipping powertrain may extend to the Ranger, and the additional weight will obviously affect towing capacity. The rear axle of this 1996 Bronco prerunner displays plenty of beefing for its Baja. Moving forward, the Ford Motor Company is going to sweeten the deal with a plug-in hybrid Bronco. The biggest difference between these gearboxes is the torque rating, as in 800 Nm (590 pound-feet) for the beefier unit and 600 Nm (443 pound-feet) for the other. Speaking of which, the next-generation Ranger could also make the switch from 10R80 to 10R60 to simplify production and reduce costs.
If the Raptor does receive the 3.0-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 of the Explorer ST, then look forward to at least 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet (563 Nm) of torque channeled to all four wheels by the 10R60 automatic tranny, not the 10R80 box of the current-gen Ranger and F-150 pickup trucks. The 2021 model year Bronco, by comparison, can handle anything between 3,220 pounds (1,588 kilograms) for the four-door Badlands to 3,500 pounds (1,461 kilograms) for most other specifications. The Xtreme Recon Package offered by Jeep is rocking 35-inch tires, which is why Ford may give buyers the choice between 35s and 37s.Ī tow hitch will be available too, although it’s hard to estimate what kind of rating the Raptor will get. The latter option will spruce things up with a heated steering wheel, wireless phone charging, and cruise control.ġ0-speaker audio and voice-activated satellite also have to be mentioned as part of the 374A equipment group, but we don’t know if 37-inch rubber is standard. Already confirmed for the 2022 model year under the E5J body code, the Raptor will be offered with two equipment groups: 373A and 374A. As a brief reminder, the 2022 Ford Bronco will enter production this December at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne.In the Bronco’s case, we’re dealing with a four-door hardtop equipped with massive tires and a full-size spare. Ford says that it’ll be available in the summer of 2022, which means that it’s been pushed back to MY 2023 or MY 2022 will be very short as it's also the case with the 2022 Chevrolet Corvette. More than 80 inches wide (hence the federally-mandated amber marker lights) as opposed to 79.3 inches for the Wildtrak, the Raptor was recently confirmed by the CONCEPS ordering system as a 2022 model. A set of 35-inch BFG KO2 tires are rumored to come standard. Speaking of equipment, Fox Live Valve twin-tube bypass dampers and 37-inch BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrain rubber from the F-150 Raptor are not cheap. More boost would certainly improve the peak torque over the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, but on the other hand, more boost equals more strain on this powerplant.įoMoCo needs to get extremely close - or match - the 6.4-liter HEMI in the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 if the Bronco Raptor is to be taken seriously, especially if you remember what kind of pricing applies to a well-equipped Bronco. The only candidate I can think of is the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 engine, which produces 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet in the Explorer ST that features the same 10R60 automatic transmission as the Bronco. I wish I had a few revolutions per minute to list here for both horsepower and torque, but surprisingly enough, the Dearborn-based automaker hasn’t bothered publishing them although, the 2022 model year is on the horizon.
Even with high-octane dinosaur juice, the six-cylinder lump generates 330 horsepower and 415 pound-feet (563 Nm) of torque. Which one? I wouldn’t bet on the optional 2.7 in the regular Bronco.
