Bottom Line:
The 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor is a wild looking, extreme performance SUV that’s about as close to a streetable off-road warrior as you can buy at a new vehicle dealership. Yet, it’s surprisingly comfortable for highway driving with minimal tire noise from the massive 37×12.5R17 all-terrain tires. The extra 9.8-inches width over the standard Bronco and 77.8-inch height make mall parking spaces and bank drive-through

lanes a challenge. The size takes some adjustment but city driving is quite pleasant for such a rugged off-road capable SUV.
