2022 Ford Bronco Raptor Dyno Run Ends With Pretty Solid Numbers

Presented with much pomp and circumstance in January 2022, the Ford Bronco Raptor is the first-ever utility vehicle to receive this coveted nameplate. It was only natural for the Ford Motor Company to use this moniker for this application because of the Ranger-based frame and the Ranger Raptor that’s finally coming to the U.S. in '23 as a '24 model.

The 3.0-liter EcoBoost helps the Raptor stand out from its 2.7-engined siblings, a twin-turbo V6 that averages 15 miles to the gallon (make that 15.6 liters per 100 kilometers) as per the Environmental Protection Agency. Teased with more than 400 horsepower on deck, the six-cylinder mill was eventually confirmed with 418 horsepower and 440 pound-foot (597 Nm).

How many of those ponies get to the ground, though? Sid of SVT Performance is much obliged to answer that question with a few pulls on the dyno. Tested by Livernois Motorsports & Engineering in Dearborn Heights, the blue-painted Braptor is rocking 106 miles (171 kilometers) on the clock and unknown-octane dinosaur juice in the tank. Even though 87 is fine, bear in mind that 93 works wonders for twin-turbo engines like the 3.0 EB.

Whatever gasoline may be in the tank, the first pull ended with 318.77 horsepower and 369.80 pound-foot (501 Nm) at the rear wheels. The best of four runs ended with 321.47 hp and 369.47 lb-ft (501 Nm), and the dyno graph clearly shows that EcoBoost V6 lumps make their grunt down low.

Applying the SAE correction factor results in 315.28 hp and 362.15 lb-ft (491 Nm), which is more than impressive for that driveline and those rubber boots. Lest we forget, the Bronco Raptor is meant to bash dunes into submission rather than slay at the strip. Speaking of which, Edmunds senior test editor Kurt Niebuhr recorded 14.7 seconds at 89.9 mph (145 kph) over the quarter mile and 60 mph (97 kph) took him 6.3 seconds excluding rollout.
