2022 Ford Bronco Raptor specs, pictures reveal ultra-wide, bad-ass beast:
Here it is, the 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor, and it looks every bit the exaggerated and overbuilt off-roader that we hoped for and expected. And with the reveal, Ford has detailed much of what makes the Raptor so beastly . So let's dive in.
Around the back, you'll find a full-size 37-inch spare tire mounted to the swing gate, which has been reinforced with a magnesium bracket to handle the extra weight . The giant spare has also necessitated some lighting changes. The high-mount brake light sits higher, and incorporates the wide-vehicle lighting. The actual taillights are completely different, too, and have been styled to look a bit like the pod lights on professional racing trucks.
As for what the chassis, the fully-boxed frame received some reinforcing braces, along with strong shock mounts and some new jounce bumpers all to handle hard impacts at high speeds. The front and rear axles are stronger, and the front control arms are larger and stronger. Even the steering rack and knuckles are tougher, all in the name of handling fast off-roading and the weight from the huge tires.
Another unique addition to the Raptor is reinforcements for the trailer hitch. The new exhaust opened up space under the cargo area where the bracing could be fitted. It brings towing capacity up to 4,500 pounds, an increase of 1,000 over the standard Bronco.
