Is It Possible to Improve the Bronco Raptor?

You're probably already familiar with Ford's iconic F150 Raptor and what it's capable of; however, you might not have seen Ford's newest addition to their off-road lineup – the brand-new Bronco Raptor. Unlike the standard Bronco models, the Raptor variant comes equipped with a 418-hp twin-turbo V6 engine, a FOX suspension system, and 37-inch all-terrain tries to add tons of capability for any adventure, both on and off-road. With these impressive features, it's easy to believe the Bronco Raptor has it all. But what if we told you there's a few aftermarket upgrades that can elevate its functionality even further, unlocking a new level of performance and style? Stick around as we dive into the untapped potential of the Bronco Raptor and explore the some of the most pressing questions surrounding this off-road marvel.

What Makes the Bronco Raptor Special?

The Ford Bronco Raptor isn't just an off-road vehicle; it's a powerhouse that redefines the boundaries of overland adventures. What sets it apart from the basic Bronco models is its cutting-edge technology that's designed to tackle any terrain with unmatched reliability. Under the hood, the Bronco Raptor roars to life with a formidable 418-hp twin-turbo V6 engine, ensuring an exhilarating ride no matter where you venture to next. This allows the vehicle to sprint from zero to 60 mph in an impressive 5.6 seconds, offering up an exhilarating thrill for anybody behind the wheel. The FOX suspension system also takes your driving experience to the next level by providing a smooth and controlled ride even in the most demanding conditions. Ford then equips the Raptor variant with some 37-inch all-terrain tires, making it ready to tackle just about anything you throw its way. The only real downfall that comes with owning a Bronco Raptor is its wider wheelbase that can make parking more difficult in highly congested areas. While these features certainly make the Bronco Raptor worth the high price point, there's few aftermarket modifications you can install to push its functionality even further.

Can You Make the Bronco Raptor Faster?

One of the most common questions that arise with this new Raptor variant is whether or not you can make it faster. The short answer is yes, however; you likely won't experience major horsepower or torque gains as the twin-turbo V6 is already optimized for both power and performance. If you're simply looking to gain an edge on other Bronco Raptors out on the road, a new S&B Cold Air Intake System designed specifically for the Raptor's 3.0L engine is right up your alley. This system enhances airflow by eliminating the restrictions found in the factory intake. Its streamlined tubing, featuring smoother bends, coupled with a sizable air filter, works to provide additional horsepower when you're pushing the limits. This aftermarket intake also helps improve MPGs during long hauls, and even works to add more a aggressive note to the engine when you hop on the accelerator.

To squeeze out even more performance, adding on the Magnaflow Overland Series Cat-Back Performance Exhaust System should be your next step. This exhaust system delivers the perfect combination of aggressive sounds and trail-proven performance so you can have more confidence each time you set off for adventure. Every detail of this cat-back was meticulously crafted using advanced 3D scanning technology and CNC precision robotic manufacturing techniques to ensure unmatched strength and reliability for your Bronco Raptor. This cat-back comes trail ready and is optimized to bring the best characteristics out of your ride.

What Bumpers Fit the Bronco Raptor?

The 2022+ Bronco Raptor offers a unique challenge for enthusiasts looking to achieve a one-of-kind exterior look, as it comes exclusively in one trim level.
