418-HP Power and Highway Comfort: 2026 Ford Bronco Raptor Review, Pricing, Specs

Power and off-road performance

A twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 produces 418 horsepower and works with a 10-speed automatic transmission. An advanced four-wheel-drive system pairs with selectable G.O.A.T. modes, short for Goes Over Any Type of Terrain.

In an initial test drive, the Bronco Raptor impressed over rough ground at speed and while navigating rocky trails with low-range gearing. It reached 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, compared with 5.2 seconds for the F-150 Raptor. The article says the Bronco’s engine has less shove than the F-150’s boosted 3.5-liter V-6.

Price, fuel economy and towing

The Bronco Raptor costs $70,095 at base, while the tested vehicle was priced at $77,090. Listed options included a $2,695 Lux package, $2,495 for leather-trimmed front seats and carpet flooring, and $1,695 beadlock-capable 17-inch wheels.

EPA estimates are 15 mpg in the city and 16 mpg on the highway. The vehicle returned 17 mpg on a 75-mph highway route; observed fuel economy was 14 mpg, and the stated highway range was 350 miles.

The Bronco Raptor can tow more than the regular Bronco’s maximum of 3,500 pounds, but the article gives no specific Raptor towing figure. It says a V-8 Jeep Wrangler can tow 5,000 pounds and a Toyota 4Runner can tow 6,000 pounds.

Comfort and cabin technology

The Raptor is described as suitable for errands and long highway drives, as well as off-road use. Removing the top and four doors provides an open-air option. Two adults should fit comfortably in the second row, while three would be crowded.

A vertically oriented 12.0-inch touchscreen runs Ford’s Sync 4 software and supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A dashboard rack can hold smartphones and GoPros, with nearby 12-volt outlets for power.

The SUV has 104 cubic feet of passenger volume and 33 cubic feet of cargo volume. Its listed dimensions include a 116.5-inch wheelbase, 191.0-inch length, 85.7-inch width and 77.8-inch height; curb weight is 5,764 pounds.

Ford offers limited and powertrain warranties, described as competitive, but does not include complimentary scheduled maintenance. The article notes that Jeep provides complimentary scheduled maintenance. It directs readers to the NHTSA and IIHS websites for crash-test information.

The article says shoppers considering a lightly used vehicle may find a one-to-three-year-old model that costs less and is likely to have a warranty. It also describes the current model year as largely unchanged.
