Over the past few months we have been closely following the development process for the Bronco Raptor. A version that until not long ago it was speculated that it was baptized with the name Warthog.

The press release published by Ford is quite concise, pointing out that the new Bronco Raptor will be available in 2022, with additional details to be provided later. The text communicated by the company is accompanied by a video (which you can see above) and in which you can see a fleeting part of the front of the vehicle for a few seconds later to give way to a great dust cloud in a desert environment.
Beyond the numerous spy photos that we have been publishing on Motor.es these months, the leaks that have occurred have allowed us to discover some of the keys to the new Bronco Raptor. A trim level that has the internal code E5J and that will be offered in two versions or trim levels. In addition, and based on the sightings, it will be available next to the four-door body.
Some of the components equipped on the Bronco Raptor can be found on other Ford models such as the F-150 Raptor and Ranger Raptor. We have beadlock type rims or FOX shocks with Live Valve technology. In addition, and predictably, the tires will be wrapped by about BFGoodrich tires.
