Ford Bronco RTR Brings High-Speed Off-Roading to More Customers

Jan 13, 2026  · 2 min read

Summary
It gets the same high-speed thrills as the Bronco Raptor, with a little bit less power.

Ford has taken the A, the P, the O, and the high-performance engine out of the Raptor to create the Bronco RTR. And with that, consumers have access to some of the high-performance chassis engineering that makes high-speed dune-bashing SUV so popular, with a slightly less stratospheric price tag.

Developed by RTR Vehicles, which has previously worked on the drift-happy Mustang RTR, the team has now turned its attention on Ford’s other historically-inspired amusement vehicle, the Bronco.

Available in two trim levels — the RTR and the RTR with Sasquatch package — the most affordable version of the new trim will have a starting price that is lower than the Bronco Badlands Sasquatch, which starts at around $75,000 before fees in Canada.

The base Bronco RTR gets 33-inch rugged-terrain tires and a new high-clearance suspension. Meanwhile, the Sasquatch package increases the tire size to 35 inches, and adds a Hoss 3.0 suspension system with Fox internal bypass shocks that is similar to the one found on the original Ford F-150 Raptor.

The model also comes with a software-operated anti-lag system to maintain turbo pressure off throttle in order to ensure immediate throttle response every time a driver puts their foot on the accelerator pedal. The RTR also gets a 1,000-watt cooling fan from the Bronco Raptor.

On the aesthetic front, the model comes with an RTR grille and new signature lighting. It also features Hyper Lime highlights and 17-inch beadlock-capable RTR Evo 6 wheels. They are paired with Avalanche Grey paint, a new shade for the 2026 model year that is shared with the Mustang RTR.

Official pricing and power ratings are not available at time of writing. Ford says, though, that order books will open for the new model in October 2026, with sales starting in January 2027.
