The Ultimate Bronco Raptor Engine

[Rahkmalla]

I have no problem with the 3.0tt, but with the 392 on the market they better come in starting at 60k or less if they aren't offering equal power. Don't be surprised if there is a warthog package with 37s.

The hybrid will be too heavy. I’m guessing 3l and bronco r MAYBE 3.5. I’d love a smaller version of the 7.3l pusheod. The 5.0 wont fit dohc heads are too big.

It would make the bronco 6000 pounds and weigh more than the raptor.

why do you think the raptor didn’t get the powerboost?

The weight is something to consider, but I think it was just a miss by Ford to be honest. The Powerboost should be in a vehicle capable of pulling your RV into the wilderness and powering it for days to weeks uninterrupted. There's no way my Luxury Limited should be more of a tool off road than a Raptor or Bronco. I think many would forego the HO 3.5 for the Powerboost and the unlimited flexibility of the 7.2 kw generator. The Powerboost is a stronger motor and the 13 kw hybrid battery is relatively tiny. Mechanically there's little difference. At least give the customer the option.

The raptor is the top of the line for fords 4x4 trucks,its prob gonna get a 3l but id love a v8,shoot once you remove those miles os hoses and wires a godzilla would fit

Ultimate engine? put the 5.2 voodoo out of the Shelby Mustang 350GT (RIP)

That motor would be a nightmare in the bronco but not in the good way.

I'll take the Ford GT's 647 hp 3.5 tt with the sequential bang box from Ricardo, if you're taking requests...

I’m sorta with you on this. As others have pointed out, the current Power boost system is probably too heavy with the battery and squeezing an electric motor/generator into the Bronco would be a problem. Perhaps a Bronco-sized, scaled down hybrid system could be made to work though. I understand that an auto manufacturing company would not undertake something like that lightly. That would be a major undertaking. But I think a hybrid Bronco with scaled back features of the F-150 hybrid system like you mention would be a winner. Lately I’ve been giving quite a bit of attention to a Platinum F-150 with Powerboost or the new hybrid Toyota Tundra (shame on me!). If the F-150 Tremor offered a hybrid option, I might already have made the jump. More HP and torque, faster, better gas mileage are pretty compelling.

yup, high-revving V8 would be a terrible choice. Relatively doggish down low.

Well I would say dogish. I have one but the cam doesn’t come on until about 4k. The st motor will be perfect in the raptor though. It’s fun as hell

sweet ride! Made to have fun at higher rpms! Having to rev an NA motor in a 5000lb brick does not sound like a lot of fun.

No. Not at all

 

[JoeSpeed]

3.5 at a minimum, stick available and no electric crap

 

[GoTigersGoBronco]

I think a Bronco R with the 5.2 would be cool and sell well. I don’t think I’d be a buyer at $85k

6.7 power stroke. The 392 couldn’t touch it.
