Now that the all-new 2022 Bronco Raptor has been officially revealed, we can't wait to test it side-by-side with the 470-hp Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392. Ford says deliveries will begin this summer, and anyone who already has an existing order for the regular Bronco is able to change it to the Raptor.
Pros A blast to drive off-road, generous standard equipment, virtually lag-free turbocharging.
Cons Abysmal fuel economy, F-150 Raptor is more powerful, feels considerably wider on the road than the standard Bronco.
