![]() "Bronco Raptor is our ultimate vehicle for hardcore off-road enthusiasts who demand something more," said Carl Widmann, the chief engineer at Ford Performance. ![]() Manufactured at the Ford Lima Engine Plant, the top-dog powerplant takes 7 quarts (make that 6.6 liters) of oil. A direct-injected lump that runs 10.5:1 for the compression ratio, the 3.0-liter V6 employs forged steel for the connecting rods and crankshaft. Rated at 418 horsepower and 440 pound-feet (597 Nm) of torque on premium-grade fuel, this mill features aluminum for the cylinder heads and compacted graphite iron for the block. What's included at this price point? The list begins with the twin-turbo V6, the 3.0-liter EcoBoost used in the Explorer ST sport utility vehicle. “The most capable Bronco” as marketed by the Dearborn-based automaker is currently listed on at $68,500 before destination charge and extras. On the other hand, what did you expect? From the curb weight of 5,733 pounds (2,600 kilograms) to the 37-inch tires, 4.70 diffs, and the heavy-duty transfer case, many things contribute to the poor gas mileage. ![]() The EPA says that you’d fork out $10,000 more in fuel costs over five years compared to the average new vehicle, which averages 27 mpg (8.7 l/100 km) for the model year 2022. The answer is affirmative, but on the other hand, can you believe this fellow drinks high-octane dinosaur juice at the same rate as the F-150 Raptor with the 37-inch tire package? The Bronco Raptor goes through 6.7 gallons every 100 miles, which is a lot at current gas prices.
