2027 Ford Bronco RTR: A Sneak Peek at Performance Upgrades and Design

2027 Ford Bronco RTR: Performance and Intent

• 🚀 The 2027 Ford Bronco RTR is designed for high-speed off-road driving with a focus on RTR signature handling.
• 💡 The intent is to provide off-road performance that aligns with Vaughn Jr.'s preferences for a Bronco.

Engine and Suspension

• ⚙️ It features a 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine chosen for its lighter front end, aiding maneuverability in high-speed terrain.
• 🛠️ The suspension includes HOS 3.0 Fox shocks, tuned specifically for this application with adjusted valving.
• 📈 It boasts higher ground clearance and a better track width to complement the suspension tuning.

Wheels, Tires, and Exterior Styling

• 🛞 Equipped with the Sasquatch package, it comes with 35-inch tires and 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, featuring a lime hyperlime green accent ring that can be swapped for actual beadlocks.
• ✨ Unique design elements include a hockey stick signature LED light and hyperlime accents around the Bronco lettering on the front.
• 🛡️ Front protection features a metal modular front bumper, metal recovery points, and a metal front skid plate.
• 🗺️ A decal package inspired by Johnson Valley, a key testing location, is available as an option, featuring a topographical map and RTR badging.

Bronco Raptor Components and Cooling

• ⛰️ Metal rock sliders and a 1000W cooling fan are sourced directly from the Bronco Raptor to manage temperatures during demanding off-road use.
• 💨 The steering gear is also adapted from the Bronco Raptor, contributing to a wider track width.
• 🛞 Wider over-fenders in flat black plastic are included.

Interior, Pricing, and Positioning

• 💺 The interior will feature unique RTR design accents, details of which will be revealed later.
• 💰 Positioned below the Bronco Raptor, it aims to offer high performance without a V8 engine, with pricing expected to be a pleasant surprise, potentially in the low $40,000s.
• 💲 The value proposition is based on hardware, tuning, suspension setup, design, and the RTR collaboration, rather than a larger engine.
