Thirty-seven inches changes the whole conversation. This 2026 Ford Bronco Raptor sits on 37x12.5R17 all-terrain tires wrapped around 17-inch black forged beadlock-capable wheels, and the rest of the truck is engineered to match that footprint. HOSS 4.0 suspension with FOX Live Valve dampers, a front stabilizer-bar disconnect, front and rear locking differentials, full-metal heavy-duty bash plates and Advanced 4x4 give it the hardware to attack terrain instead of simply looking the part.

That matters when a weekend around Dade City or Brooksville turns into deep sand, rutted access roads or uneven ground. The 4.7 rear axle with locking differential helps put power down, while two front and two rear tow hooks give you real recovery points. Rock rails with removable running boards protect the body while still giving passengers an easier step in for daily use. Around Wesley Chapel, the same suspension and 360-degree camera make a Bronco Raptor far easier to live with than its aggressive stance suggests.

Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat is a wild choice in the best way. The Raptor Black Appearance Package brings matte-black hood graphics and a darker attitude, while the black-painted hard top keeps the upper half tied together. Parks Plus paint protection and headlight protection are especially worthwhile on a finish this noticeable, and rain-repellent treatment is a practical Florida addition when the sky changes halfway between New Tampa and Land O Lakes.

The cabin does not pretend this is a stripped trail rig. Leather-trimmed/vinyl black seating, a 12-inch center display, full digital cluster, leather gear knob and sport leather steering wheel with paddle shifters give the driver a much more finished environment. The Interior Carbon Fiber Package adds the right performance detail without taking over the cabin. Smart-charging USB ports and 12-volt powerpoints keep devices handled, and the 60/40 split rear seat preserves the everyday flexibility of a five-passenger Bronco.

Ford also gives the Raptor equipment for the parts of the drive that happen before the trail. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Hill Start Assist, the rear-view camera, the 360-degree camera and Terrain Management with G.O.A.T. Modes all work in very different situations, from a tight parking space in New Tampa to a rough climb farther north. The Connectivity Package includes one year with the Ford app, and SiriusXM with 360L is included with a three-year plan.

The black-painted hard top has a sound-deadening headliner, so the Bronco can settle down for highway miles when the roof stays on. The Raptor tool kit and removable running boards remind you that this vehicle was still designed to be taken apart, adjusted and used. Auxiliary switch pre-wiring is already in place for future accessories, which makes sense on a Bronco that owners tend to personalize.

The Parks Ford Lifetime Powertrain Warranty is included with this new Bronco Raptor from Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel.

There are plenty of SUVs with aggressive tires and black trim. This is not one of them. The 37-inch setup, FOX Live Valve dampers, locking differentials, stabilizer-bar disconnect and heavy-duty protection underneath give this Raptor a mechanical reason for every inch of its attitude.

Ruby Red just makes sure nobody misses it. Price includes $1,395 dealer added accessories.
