# Ford Bronco Raptor Details Leak Out via Dealer Order System: Report

It seems like those waiting on confirmation of the higher-performing [Ford Bronco Raptor](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/36438/the-ford-bronco-raptor-prototype-proves-it-can-jump-just-like-its-f-150-sibling>) won't have to wait too much longer. What looks like evidence of the model's existence and imminent arrival now apparently exists on the company's dealership network ordering software. Posted to the [*Bronco 6G*](<https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/2022-bronco-raptor-discovered-in-ordering-system-4-door-base-lux-levels-code-orange-color-everglades-trim.23521/>) forums, presumably by a Ford store employee, a new body code E5J was spotted for the 2022 Bronco that didn't exist for the 2021 model. Crucially, there's a listed equipment package that's simply labeled as "Raptor."

Per the leaked ordering system entry, the upcoming Bronco Raptor will be offered in two trims—a base labeled 373A and a better-equipped version marked 374A. The latter appears to add a 10-speaker audio system, voice-activated navigation, adaptive cruise control, a heated steering wheel, wireless charging, and other amenities you'd expect from a Lux Package.

**Ford**

Further down the thread, the poster also says the Raptor will be available exclusively as a four-door and be the only Bronco variant to offer "Code Orange" as a paint color. Eruption Green and Hot Pepper Red are also mentioned, as well as a mysterious Everglades trim with no real details given on that front.

While the company has yet to publicly acknowledge the existence of a future Bronco Raptor variant by name, the fact that one is happening is a bit of an open secret. That's courtesy of [spy shots](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/36293/heres-the-amped-up-ford-bronco-raptor-out-testing-in-the-wild>), teasers of ["experimental Bronco prototypes"](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/36752/the-wild-ford-bronco-raptor-prototype-is-testing-with-37-inch-tires>) testing on 37-inch tires, and now an entry in Ford's ordering system. Also, most damningly perhaps, the four-wheeling rig was mentioned in [one Ford engineer's LinkedIn profile](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/35999/theres-more-evidence-that-a-ford-bronco-raptor-is-coming-in-2023>) that has since been removed, although that referred to the vehicle as a 2023 model year rather than a 2022.

It's anyone's guess what will power the Bronco Raptor, though one has to assume it'll be an EcoBoost V6 of some kind. Whether that means a hopped-up version of the 2.7-liter that's currently offered, a uniquely tuned 3.0-liter V6 like what's in the Explorer ST, or a full-on 3.5-liter like what's in the F-150 Raptor, only time will tell. Regardless, based on the plain old Bronco's already impressive off-roading chops, we expect the Raptor to be something special.
