The Ultimate Bronco Raptor Engine

Totally serious. Imagine the crawl gear with a turbo diesel.

If it is supposed to be anything like it's big brother then it not going to happen. BRaptor is meant to go fast in the desert. Not crawl through the rocks. I would totally support a diesel in some sort of factory rock crawler though.

Lol if it's called Brap-tor, it needs a two-stroke

I get that there is no replacement for displacement. But I can not image a larger engine than the 3.0L working in the Bronco. I prefer balanced vehicles that can support the power they have going around a turn. Even the 2.7 I drove felt a little sketchy going fast. Off road I am sure the extra power can be helpful. On road….not sure.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the point of the Raptor family...?

There’s a new replacement for displacement. It’s called a tuned turbo.

I think the Raptor line is more about suspension and a higher level of detail (interior, body fenders) then pure power. But we shall see.

The upcoming Ranger and Bronco Raptor will use the 3.0 Ecoboost. I'd put money on that. Maybe one day they'll get the 3.0 Ecoboost Hybrid that the Aviator gets... that would be amazing. It makes 494hp and 630tq

Exactly! Where’s these bozos get off automatically thinking it’d be the 3.5 or even the V8.
There won’t be a V8 bronco til maybe and that’s a big maybe, the end of its production life as a rare specialty like the bronco R. Even then I highly doubt it

6.2 gen 1 i would say is displacement. But the twin turbo 3.5 is very impressive.

True. I only said the power stroke 3.0 but they actually replaced it with the power boost. So maybe that.

Hey guys,

I know we are all waiting to see what Ford puts under the hood of the Bronco Raptor. Many of us are hoping for a V8, while most of us feel like we know the 3.5 from the F150 Raptor is the likely engine. I think the best engine for this amazing Bronco is the Powerboost Hybrid. It would allow for the 7.2 Kw pro power onboard generator that would almost by itself make the Bronco Raptor the most capable and highly sought after overlander in the world. I have th F150 Limited Powerboost and I absolutely love it. It is faster to 60 than a Raptor as well as many other sports cars. I absolutley love it and the 7.2 kw generator powered my entire film crew in the New Mexican Mountains just a few months ago, not to mention it also powered the AC for the trailers for my actors. Having this tech in the Bronco would make it untouchable. What are your thoughts?

yuck ..no on the electric

plug in electric absolutely sucks, now if you are talking internal combustion hydrogen that Toyota has come up with ..I’m all in.

It also occurs to me that Ford could use a low-displacement 6 cylinder that has yet been unveiled.
