Just called the Bronco Support Line. All Reservation Holders, even if you have an order submitted, should be receiving this email. As long as your Bronco is not "in production" you should receive an email They started today, and they will continue until Feb 11th.

There is no restriction on date of when you reserved or what you had reserved from what I was told as well.

All? So I’m a 5th day reservation holder back on July 18th, 2020… not converted yet.

I was very clear when I asked the lady if date had any impact on getting these emails. I reserved in Feb 2021 and she said I should be getting one in the next few days. She said the only reason you would not get one is if your Bronco is in production status. She also said the emails would be coming out over the next few days.

Also check your spam/junk box. The survey was in my spam email. I have not received this email yet though.

DESERT-RACING, ROCK-CRAWLING 2022 FORD BRONCO RAPTOR DEBUTS AS MOST POWERFUL STREET-LEGAL BRONCO EVER
JAN 24, 2022 | DEARBORN, MICH.

• All-new 2022 Ford Bronco® Raptor™, designed and engineered by Ford Performance to be the world’s first Ultra4 Racing-inspired SUV, is capable of highway-speed desert-dune conquering and Baja rock-crawling
• Bronco Raptor packs extreme Built Wild™ capability and durability with an exclusive twin-turbo 3.0-liter EcoBoost® engine targeted to deliver more than 400 horsepower*, a Raptor HOSS 4.0 race-ready suspension system, a fully boxed, high-strength steel frame, and standard 37-inch all-terrain tires
• At 9.8 inches wider than a base Bronco four-door for more confident high-speed cornering, Bronco Raptor epitomizes extreme Built Wild design with race-inspired features inside and out, accented by Raptor-family signature cues

DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 24, 2022 – Two icons that have tackled off-road terrain for years are coming together to take on even more: Bronco® and Raptor™. Built for desert running and boulder crawling, the all-new 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor gives off-roaders next-level performance.

Bronco Raptor, the newest member of the Bronco outdoor brand of Built Wild™ SUVs, debuts today as the most powerful street-legal Bronco ever, and the world’s first Ultra4 Racing-inspired SUV. Ford Performance, the same team that produces the F-150 Raptor, designed and engineered Bronco Raptor as a calling to hardcore off-road enthusiasts.

Bronco Raptor is equipped with elite off-road technology and hardware. Ultra4 Racing is the epitome of grueling off-road competition, featuring demanding races such as the famed King of the Hammers in the Johnson Valley in California, where Bronco Raptor will be on display on Feb. 3. Ford and Bronco will continue as the official truck and SUV of the Ultra4 series.

With the addition of Bronco Raptor, Ford once again expands its Raptor high-performance off-road vehicle franchise, which also includes F-150 Raptor for North America and Ranger Raptor for global markets.

“Raptor is the apex of our off-road lineup and is now a full lineup with race proven content and design that you can’t get from anyone else,” said Jim Farley, chief executive officer, Ford Motor Company. “Only Ford could create a Bronco Raptor.”

Beyond the Raptor family, Ford offers an unmatched variety of additional on- and off-road high-performance and specialty performance vehicles, from Mustang Shelby GT500, the pinnacle of Mustang street performance, to the ST lineup of cars and SUVs, to the Tremor family of F-Series and Ranger tough and work-capable off-road trucks.

Ford Performance unleashes extreme Built Wild capability and durability
To build the world’s first Ultra4-inspired SUV, Ford Performance set the bar high. Bronco Raptor had to be even faster and bring more off-road capability, agility and maneuverability than Bronco already delivers.

“We had to build the Bronco Raptor – it’s our ultimate vehicle for hardcore off-road enthusiasts who demand something more,” said Carl Widmann, Ford Performance chief engineer. “Like the Ultra4 desert race trucks, the ‘Raptor of SUVs’ conquers desert dunes at highway speeds and is equipped with competition-level off-road technology and hardware.”

Starting with the Bronco frame foundation, the Ford Performance team knew it needed a Raptor-specific version for increased suspension travel and track width for handling stability during high-speed desert runs. At the Raptor core is a fully boxed, high-strength steel frame with new shock towers that increase wheel travel and off-road durability. Heavy-duty bash and skid plates provide continuous driveline coverage from the front bumper to the back of the engine, transmission and transfer case. In the upper body, B-pillar cross bar and C-pillar reinforcement help deliver a greater than 50% total body-in-prime torsional rigidity increase over a standard Bronco four-door model.

Competition-level, Ford Performance-developed axles, also used on the Bronco DR race truck, further deliver on the Ultra4-inspiration. The solid rear axle is upgraded to a semi-float Dana 50™ Heavy-Duty AdvanTEK® with 235-millimeter ring gear, while the Dana 44™ AdvanTEK front-drive unit includes upgraded half-shafts with 210-millimeter ring gear. These upgraded front and rear axles increase the track width by 8.6 inches (73.6 inches versus 65.0 inches) over a base Bronco for even more sure-footed confidence. Larger front and rear driveshafts support increased wheel torque. Bronco Raptor also runs with a minimum ground clearance of 13.1 inches, 4.8 inches more than a base four-door model.

An advanced 4x4 system with three modes includes a higher-capacity clutch designed to withstand the demands of high-performance desert events. The upgraded transfer case also features a 3.06 4x4 LO ratio for up to 67.7:1 crawl ratio.

The Ford Performance team collaborated with FOX™ to upgrade the High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS) system with Live Valve technology. Similar to the F-150 Raptor truck’s position-sensitive damping design, the Raptor HOSS 4.0 system features FOX 3.1 Internal Bypass Semi-Active Dampers (3.1-inch diameter) that are uniquely tuned at the front and rear and feature integrated reservoirs up front and remote reservoirs in rear. Suspension height sensors and other sensors at each corner monitor terrain conditions independently hundreds of times every second and adjust suspension tuning accordingly.

Unique Ford Performance-designed front and rear control arms help deliver maximum wheel travel of 13.0 inches in front and 14.0 inches at the rear, or 60% and 40% more, respectively, than a Bronco base model. To deliver the confidence and high-speed needs of the world’s first Ultra4-inspired SUV, the Ford Performance team reached out to BFGoodrich for standard 37-inch KO2 all-terrain tires (37x12.50R17LT), the largest of any production SUV in America**. Two Ford Performance-designed 17-inch x 8.5-inch beadlock-capable wheels are available. An electric-power steering rack and housing influenced by F-150 Raptor, as well as larger-diameter inner and outer tie rod ends, were added to further upgrade Bronco Raptor.

To give Bronco Raptor even more desert-running power, the Ford powertrain team developed the proven twin-turbo 3.0-liter EcoBoost® engine with specific Raptor-level tuning to meet Ford Performance standards. With a target of more than 400 horsepower*, Bronco Raptor will be the most powerful street-legal Bronco ever, with intercooling and air-induction systems designed to endure the higher ambient desert temperatures.

For higher-speed desert capabilities or crawling over rocks, the compacted graphite iron-block engine, which saves weight while providing strength for added durability, is paired with a 10-speed SelectShift™ automatic transmission tuned to meet Ford Performance standards. A true dual-exhaust system, featuring first-for-Bronco active-valve technology, uses near-equal-length pipes for an improved exhaust note. The system allows drivers to alter the sound of their Bronco Raptor with four selectable exhaust modes, including Normal, Sport, Quiet and Baja.

Bronco Raptor builds on the brand’s exclusive G.O.A.T. Modes™ (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) Terrain Management System™ designed to help drivers better navigate off-road. Seven driver-selectable modes include a uniquely tuned Baja Mode that activates a turbo anti-lag calibration to maximize performance over high-speed desert runs. New to Bronco is Tow/Haul mode, which helps enable a tow rating of 4,500 pounds, a 1,000-pound improvement over the base model. Trail Control, Trail Turn Assist and Trail One-Pedal Driving are also included.

Raptor styling with extreme Built Wild innovative design
The first-ever Bronco Raptor delivers purpose-built design, infusing Raptor-family signature cues with the truck’s Built Wild innovative design.

“As the most badass Bronco yet, the Bronco Raptor design is extreme,” said Paul Wraith, Bronco design chief. “It’s muscular, while maintaining an underlying simplicity with performance-focused details added only for outstanding high-speed capability.”

Familiar Ford block lettering at the front stretches across the signature two-piece rectangular grille. Model-specific LED headlights featuring amber daytime running lamps and integrated amber marker lamps further tie in the DNA of Raptor to provide a menacing look. A heavy-duty modular steel front bumper by Ford Performance features tow hooks, removable bumper end caps for improved off-road clearance, integrated removable Rigid LED fog lamps and Rigid off-road lamps for greater illumination.

The hood on Bronco Raptor is made of sheet-molding compound, offering the design team the ability to dramatically sculpt its muscular shape. An integrated hood vent is molded-in-color Carbon Black and fender vents are painted body color. Raptor logos on the left and right of the hood bulge hint at the twin-turbo power underneath.

Bronco Raptor proudly leverages the Bronco SUV’s patented off-road modular design, stripped it to its base, and replaced components with unique-to-Raptor front and rear quarter-panels, fenders, fender flares and door appliques. Sheet-molding compound is once again used to sculpt the wider front fenders and integrated bodyside heat extraction ducts, which provide additional engine cooling. Sheet-molding compound rear-quarter panels are equally bolstered for a muscular look. Together with fender flares, Bronco Raptor sits 9.8 inches wider than a standard Bronco. Bronco Raptor-specific reinforced rock rails with removable running boards increase rock crawling capability.

For even more Raptor-styling DNA, an available Bronco Raptor Graphics Package includes new splatter graphics on the rear bodysides and hood that use an overlapping broken trapezoidal pattern and floating shapes to present a sophisticated digital appearance. Exterior colors include Hot Pepper Red Metallic, Velocity Blue Metallic, Eruption Green Metallic, Shadow Black, Iconic Silver Metallic, Area 51, Cactus Gray, Cyber Orange Metallic Tri-Coat, Oxford White, plus Ford Performance-exclusive Code Orange paint.

Race-focused with a performance-optimized interior
Bronco Raptor features a familiar heritage-inspired horizontal dash, integrating an all-digital 12-inch cluster. The cluster allows drivers to select from various views, including a Bronco Raptor-exclusive Performance View that emphasizes tachometer and gear readings and allows the customization of gauges.

“The Bronco Raptor interior was designed around what we know hardcore off-road racers want in a vehicle,” said Ryan Olsson, design manager. “From the all-new Performance View on the cluster and unique steering wheel with paddle shifters and fingertip access to Raptor-specific controls, to its race-ready, high-bolster front seats, Bronco Raptor leaves the factory ready for the starting line.”

Base Bronco Raptor models are equipped with Black Onyx marine-grade vinyl seats and rubberized washout flooring. The dark interior is accented with Ford Performance Code Orange splashes on the G.O.A.T. Modes rotary dial, dash vents, door netting, steering wheel stitching and Bronco logo on the instrument panel. Even the push-button ignition lights up in Code Orange. Touchpoints such as the grab handles, steering wheel bezel and gear shifter wear low-gloss carbon fiber accents.

Owners can opt for upgraded features such as all-new laser-perforated Black Onyx Neo suede seats, vinyl-wrapped instrument panel topper, leather-wrapped outer seat bolsters and carpet flooring. A thicker and sport-contoured steering wheel with magnesium paddle shifters and gloss black Raptor logo center continues the Ford Performance treatment. Ford Performance-designed front seats are unique to Bronco Raptor, designed with aggressive foam side bolsters to help keep passengers firmly seated when the terrain gets nasty. Available Code Orange seat belts provide even more Ford Performance style.

Bronco Raptor comes standard with a High Package that includes SYNC®4 with 12-inch touchscreen with swipe capability, information on-demand panel and enhanced voice recognition. Other technology features include an exterior camera with 360-degree viewing capability. The Lux Package is available for customers looking for even more human-centered technology, such as an available 10-speaker B&O audio system and Adaptive Cruise Control.

Customers can begin placing orders in March. A majority of the 2022 model year Bronco Raptor allocation will go to existing reservation holders based upon their original reservation timestamp. Ford will send communications later this month soliciting reservation holders’ interest in Bronco Raptor. Vehicles will begin to arrive this summer.

*Horsepower rating based on premium fuel per SAE J1349® standard. Your results may vary.

**Assembled in the USA with domestic and foreign parts.

It's a no from me. It loses that classic Bronco look and looks like any other Ford truck now. Very happy with the one I have in the garage, '21 Rapid Red base w/squatch. It'll find some love here on Brongo 6g though.

dumb question do you have the # to the Bronco support line?

800-334-4375
I pressed 0 to bypass the voice recognition then I think 2 for SUV. I got a person in like 1 minute, said I was calling about the Bronco, she transferred, maybe another minute and I had them on the line.

 

[Haredog]

Received the email earlier today, clicked on the "I'm Interested" link and received an automated response back. Talked with the dealer and they wouldn't commit to being able to change my unscheduled order as they claimed their BR allocation was already sold. Said they couldn't agree to MSRP either. So, even if you can change your order, highly likely there will be an extravagant ADM. But I am still going to try and see where it goes from here. Maybe Ford will give us early order holders MSRP protection like we currently have on the MY22 orders?

 

[AZbronco1]

Just another Ford failure. Why would anybody reserve one of these ugly things after Ford’s FUp of everything else.

 

[JimL]

Load of hate over on Wrangler threads. One guy even said the Bronco Raptor is the same as an Escape or Explorer with larger wheels and tires.

Wow.

Must be the same person that, on this board, keeps calling 4-door Broncos a Flex. "Dead from the neck up. Meat-head!"

 

[Paul Gagnon]

Overall it looks great. The flares look much better in high res than I was expecting.

The spec sheet is pretty darn impressive.

I wish they had come out with that gauge cluster for 2021 instead of the garbage one that they did. I hope it's backwards compatible, because I'd install one in mine.

Also makes me wonder why they didn't put fog lights on regular Broncos with the modular bumper.

 

[395N]

Well I guess no reason to complain about the Sasquatch flares any longer after seeing this.

 

[Torque]

Can't wait to see it. Love the main gauge cluster and new RPM gauge. Lots to like about it.

However -
20 Gallon Fuel Tank?
Assuming this is 15ish mpg why not 30?

 

[MadMan4BamaNATL]

Am I reading this right that "existing" Bronco Reservation holders get first shots at the Raptor? Can't be right, can it?

Sorry if answered, but this thread is filling up fast.

Follow up to no one who cares, but it did mean current res holders get first dibs. However, I imagine this to be a shady process at best as dealerships can mark up this monster for ungodly amounts.

I don’t want it since it’s only a 4 Dr. Jolopnik writes that Ford said the 2 Dr has a lack of stability. WTF?

If the 2 Dr isn’t stable enough for high speed bombing, why didn’t you extend the wheelbase an extra inch or so?

Sure a shorter wheelbase will have more play, but I bet it can handle high speeds just fine. Some of us will get it figured.

Talked to my dealer this morning after clicking “I’m interested” on the email.

I’m a day 1, hour 1 reservation holder, first in line out of 40 or so allocations as of June ‘21 who is waiting out for a white MOD top or Heritage if it’s not too expensive.

I have no vested interest in the Raptor, even if I didn’t think it was ugly, I hate the flashiness of it and what it says about me... that being said, I’d be stupid to not take advantage of this potential opportunity.

The sales manager will give me $15k (in writing) towards a Bronco of my choice, ordered through them, if I sign away my rights to this Bronco Raptor to them. If I want, say a 2023 Heritage though, and Ford plans to honor previous reservations like they did with the Raptor, this puts me at the back of the line. I’ve waited 23 years for a new Bronco after falling in love with Broncos and buying a rusted out 1974 wagon for $5k in 1999 and spending my 20’s snd early 30’s restoring it.

I only make about $55k a year and can’t afford payments on the Raptor model.

Should I take this deal?

alternatively, I could borrow downpayment $ from a family member, along with my ~$10k I have saved up in order to get the payments down to an affordable level (would still have high insurance, no?) and purchase the Raptor and gamble on re-selling it after a year.

I’d put almost no miles on it by keeping it mothballed in my garage, so that I could potentially make way more than $15k depending on taxes and ADM and paying back my family member (with interest), wherein I could potentially pay for a new (2024) Bronco outright with the windfall.

I don’t plan to have this Bronco as my primary vehicle, the new one for me is for weekends, family vacations and things I can’t do/don’t want to do with my early Bronco. What would you do if you were me?

You're being a lot honest here, so I applaud you for that. I, like you, don't want or need a Raptor, and my dealer has already emailed me as well although no details discussed thus far.

With your current salary $15K is a lot to turn down. However, I caution that what your dealer has said may not go as smoothly. You'll be dealing with a very shady market here. Not only the dealership, but the potential customer who'll pay a ton for this douche bag trophy. They'll con you out of it and your next allocation one way or the other. You really can't afford to take on the rich; far too much stacked in their favor.

I"m not insulting you, so please don't misinterpret, I just want you to go into this eyes wide open. Dangling $15K in your face isn't fair. Sure, they'll figure out a way to get this to you in theory, but doubt in cash and likely in the form of a credit for a future purchase. This is a bad deal, as that Raptor will be gone immediately.

You've waited a long time, as have I and others. I won't judge you on your decision and i do get it. Just think hard about what could also go wrong here and be prepared to live with what you decide. Good luck!
