Ford Not Planning a V8-Powered Bronco Raptor

Ford has stated that there are no plans for a Raptor R version of the Bronco or the Ranger, according to Carl Widmann, Ford Performance's chief engineer for racing vehicles, in an interview with Road & Track. 0-liter EcoBoost V6. 4-liter V8 producing 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque.

Both the Bronco Raptor and the Wrangler 392 start at roughly $80,000. The absence of a V8-powered Bronco means the Jeep Wrangler 392 will likely remain the most powerful option in the full-size off-road segment. Regular maintenance, including oil changes, coolant checks, and belt inspections, is important for high-output engines to prevent expensive repairs.
