Furthermore, who in their right mind would purchase a new Bronco Raptor with all the other engine variants? Where is the NEW MODEL!!!?! Raptor or Mustang Raptor
Bronco Raptor is NO LONGER SPECIAL (FORD has Invalidated the 3.0 Twin Turbo) Why hasn't there been a new TRUCK introduced....?

The regular Bronco models do Not get the 3.0L Raptor engine by Ford Performance, don't be mislead by the YouTubers and Ford dealers that don't know the facts. The 3.0L Bronco engine is a similar architecture that results in 380 hp and about 440 ft/lbs torque. The 3.0L Raptor engine is now labeled as the 3.0L High Output, this aligns to the same nomenclature as the 3.5L in an F-150 vs the F-150 Raptor 3.5L High Output in which there is a significant difference.
I suspect one of the major differences will be the Bronco and F-150 3.0L will have "port fuel injection" and maybe in combination with direct fuel injection as found on the Ford 2.7L. Our Raptor 3.0L HO engines have "direct fuel injection" and strengthened internals to handle the higher RPM's and horsepower.
A benefit to the Bronco and F-150 3.0L is that it will get better gas mileage than the 3.0L HO, and possibly even better than the current 2.7L.
Think of it as a Work Horse vs a Thorough Breed race Horse.

Ford Needs to provide us with an upgrade, sales will FALL for the RAPTOR... It's my Sad Reality, why should I spend dollars on Old Tech?

The Raptor version of the. Bronco is more than just the engine! Geesh…I love my 2026 Raptor and think it’s great others can option the 3.0 however even the 3.0 in the Raptor has more power than the 3.0 that comes in other models.
Ford is doing what they should be doing and evolving the models.

The way I see it, the more 3.0L that are out there, the better support (aftermarket and OEM), longevity of replacement parts, and improvements in tuning. The Raptor is more than the engine, it will continue to improve.
I would buy a Bronco Raptor with the new 3.0, even if the regular Bronco’s had the current Bronco Raptor motor. Reason…….The suspension and beefed up drivetrain. If you off road, then you should know that HP numbers don’t mean as much and suspension is a lot more important. Especially if you go fast. So, I don’t feel the Bronco Raptor is going to lose many sales to those that want to off road hard. For the street only owners or soft core off roaders, the new 3.0 is a good thing,. I predict the Bronco Raptor will get more power when it is refreshed.
