Ford and RTR are hardly strangers, often working their drifting-inspired magic on Mustangs. But this time, the Bronco is receiving the Vaughan Gittin Jr. treatment.

Think of the 2027 Ford Bronco RTR as a Raptor-lite. Rather than getting tail-happy on tarmac and kicking up clouds of tire smoke, the Bronco RTR shifts its focus off-road — even if a slammed, drift-spec Bronco would be really cool in its own right.

2027 Ford Bronco RTR

The Bronco RTR is available in two key flavours. The “base” version rolls on 33-inch all-terrain tires and a mild lift, but Ford lets you spec the Sasquatch package as well. Tick that option box and you get 35s and Ford’s HOSS 3.0 suspension setup, including internal-bypass Fox shocks similar to the first-gen F-150 Raptor. Power comes from Ford’s 2.3-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder; they haven’t dished a final power figure, but they did dish a few details about the upgrades. They fitted an anti-lag system, and the larger cooling fan from the Bronco Raptor.

Visually, the Bronco RTR differentiates itself from other Broncos with lime green accents, extra LED lighting on the grille, and optional side graphics. Deliveries begin next January.
