Ford Performance is designing the Bronco Raptor- the same team that created the F-150 Raptor, as a call to hardcore off-road enthusiasts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2022 Ford <strong>Bronco Raptor- the World\u2019s First Ultra4 Racing-Inspired SUV&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bronco Raptor comes with cutting-edge off-road technology and hardware. Ultra4 Racing is the pinnacle of off-road competition, with events like the King of the Hammers in California\u2019s Johnson Valley, where the Bronco Raptor will be live on February 3. Ford\u2019s Raptor high-performance off-road vehicle franchise has grown once more with the addition of the Bronco Raptor.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;<mark>We had to build the Bronco Raptor \u2013 it\u2019s our ultimate vehicle for hardcore off-road enthusiasts who demand something more.

The Dana 44\u2122 AdvanTEK front-drive unit is improving with a 210-millimeter ring gear. These upgraded axles boost the track width by 8.6 inches (73.6 inches against 65.0 inches) over a standard Bronco. The larger front and rear driveshafts help support the increased wheel torque. The Bronco Raptor also has a 13.1-inch minimum ground clearance, which is 4.8 inches higher than the original four-door vehicle.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A higher-capacity clutch intended to handle the demands of high-performance desert events is part of an innovative 4&#215;4 system with three modes. The modified transfer case also has a 3.06 4&#215;4 LO ratio for a crawl ratio of 67.7:1.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ford <strong>High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension&nbsp;System&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ford Performance team worked with FOX\u2122 to include Live Valve technology into the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.akinsford.com\/blog\/video-ford-bronco-hoss-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS)<\/a>&nbsp;system. The Raptor HOSS 4.0 system uses FOX 3.1 Internal Bypass Semi-Active Dampers (3.1-inch diameter). These are specially designed to have integrated-reservoirs up front and remote reservoirs in the back. The design is like that of the F-150 Raptor truck\u2019s position-sensitive damping design. Each corner\u2019s suspension height sensors and other sensors independently evaluate terrain conditions hundreds of times per second and alter suspension tune accordingly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>[Also Read:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.akinsford.com\/blog\/how-well-does-the-2022-ford-bronco-raptor-perform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How Well Does the 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor Perform?<\/a>]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2022 Ford Bronco Raptor&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Two of the best off-roading vehicles have come together to take on even more- yes, you heard it right.
