Built for the desert, tame enough for the road
The Bronco Raptor has never been about blending in. Designed by Ford Performance, it’s the wildest member of the Bronco lineup — a machine tuned to take on sand dunes and rocky trails with the kind of composure most SUVs can only dream of. Since its debut in 2022, it’s carved out a reputation as the SUV for drivers who want serious capability the moment they leave the dealership.
Its formula mixes a wide-track stance, heavy-duty off-road hardware, and a twin-turbocharged V6 cranking out more than 400 horsepower. Where rivals like the Jeep Wrangler 392 deliver raw V8 power, the Bronco Raptor leans on advanced suspension tuning and stability at speed, giving it an edge when the terrain opens up. This September, it’s easier than ever to get behind the wheel of one.
The September lease makes it easier to climb in
This month, Ford is offering a 2025 Bronco Raptor lease for $1,071 per month for 48 months, with a 10,500-mile annual allowance. The lease requires $9,270 at signing, while the security deposit is waived. Taxes, title, and license fees are additional. These offers are likely valid through the end of the month.

It’s far from a budget option, but for buyers considering a taste of high-speed off-road performance without buying outright, September’s deal makes the Raptor a bit more approachable. Learn more here.
What carries over for 2025
The 2025 Bronco Raptor doesn’t reinvent itself — and it doesn’t need to. Power still comes from a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 with 418 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque, routed through a 10-speed automatic. Standard features include a full-time 4WD system, locking front and rear differentials, and Ford’s G.O.A.T. terrain management settings.

Key Raptor hardware also returns, including the HOSS 4.0 suspension with FOX Live Valve dampers, which help it soak up big hits, and massive 37-inch all-terrain tires that give it clearance and traction that no other factory SUV can match. Inside, drivers get a mix of rugged utility and modern amenities, from marine-grade vinyl seating and hose-it-out floors to a 12-inch SYNC 4 infotainment system and digital gauge cluster.
Final thoughts
The Bronco Raptor is built for buyers who want maximum adventure right out of the box. It’s just as comfortable crawling over boulders as it is tearing through open desert, and its bold styling makes it stand out no matter where it goes.

The price remains steep, but such capability doesn’t come cheap. With September’s lease offer, Ford has made it a little easier for off-road enthusiasts to see if the Raptor’s mix of wild personality and serious performance belongs in their driveway.
