Over the past few weeks, Ford Authority spies have spotted the brand new 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor in a variety of colors, including Code Orange, Iconic Silver, Shadow Black, Velocity Blue, and Cactus Gray. Now, those same spies have captured a 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor finished in Eruption Green – which is new to the Bronco’s color palette for 2022 and gives us our first real-world look at this particular combination as well.
The Bronco Raptor is easily distinguishable from other models in the Ford Bronco lineup thanks to its more aggressive styling, which starts in the front with a “FORD” script grille, unique headlights with amber daytime running lights, and integrated amber marking lamps. Many of these features it shares with the Ford F-150 Raptor, though the two models are quite different in a number of other ways.
The Bronco Raptor also comes equipped with Ford’s Heavy-Duty Modular front bumper, which has been fitted with tow hooks, removable bumper end caps, integrated removable Rigid LED fog lamps, and Rigid off-road lamps. The fortified SUV features a more muscular hood finished in molded-in-color Carbon Black with an integrated vent and a pair of Raptor badges.
Down the sides, the Bronco Raptor features unique front and rear quarter-panels, fenders, fender flares, door appliques, functional integrated bodyside heat extraction ducts, and reinforced rock rails with removable running boards, all of which help make the beefed-up SUV 9.8 inches wider than a standard model. Those large fender flares also cover a set of 17×8.5-inch beadlock-capable wheels, which are wrapped in 37×12.50R17LT BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrain tires.
From the rear, we get a good look at the Bronco Raptor’s unique taillight design, as well as a stronger spare tire carrier on the tailgate that’s needed to support the larger and heavier wheel and tire combo that’s mounted there. Interestingly, the Bronco Raptor in these photos has a mismatched spare in the rear.
The 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor will be built in very limited quantities, with deliveries starting this summer. Leftover 2021 Bronco reservation holders will get first dibs on the high-performance off-roader, though those folks won’t be eligible for the same price protection offered on other 2022 Bronco models.
We’ll have more on the Bronco Raptor soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for more Ford Bronco news and continuous Ford news coverage.

This is my second favorite color behind Code Orange. Looks great. Now if only they could get this in Antimatter Blue.
What combo of rock rails and running boards is on this vehicle?
