Ford Prices The 2027 Bronco RTR Far Cheaper Than The Raptor
Ford has locked in pricing for the 2027 Bronco RTR, and the number lands exactly where Bronco enthusiasts were hoping: $50,790 before destination and delivery. Add the standard $1,995 destination fee and you’re sitting at roughly $52,785 — meaningfully above a Badlands, but nearly $30,000 below the Bronco Raptor’s $79,995 starting price. Orders open in October 2026, with first deliveries scheduled for January 2027.
The RTR isn’t a badge-and-graphics trim. Ford developed it alongside RTR Vehicles — the shop founded by professional drifter and off-road racer Vaughn Gittin Jr. — and built the hardware directly into the regular Bronco production line. That factory integration is how Ford delivers Raptor-sourced components with full warranty coverage at a price that doesn’t require a second mortgage.
What You Get At The $52K Base Price
Every RTR starts with HOSS 1.0 suspension fitted with a lift kit, 33-inch tires mounted on 17-inch RTR Evo 6 beadlock-capable wheels, and squared-off fenders sized to clear them. Those 33-inch tires are a factory first for any Bronco — no previous production Bronco has left the assembly line wearing rubber that size as standard equipment.
The engine is Ford’s 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, tuned here to 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel. Ford also added anti-lag software that keeps the turbo spooled for several seconds after the driver lifts off the throttle — a motorsport trick that makes a real difference in loose terrain, where momentum management matters more than outright power. A 1,000-watt cooling fan borrowed directly from the Bronco Raptor handles heat during sustained off-road use. Reinforced steering hardware and heavy-duty tie rods, also pulled from the Raptor parts bin, round out the mechanical upgrades. Outside, signature LED lighting, an LED grille, and RTR-specific badging distinguish the truck from every other Bronco on the trail.
The Sasquatch Package Is Where The RTR Gets Serious
Buyers who want to close the gap on the Raptor can add the Sasquatch Package with RTR Suspension, and that’s where the RTR’s capability story really changes. The package swaps in HOSS 3.0 suspension with Fox internal bypass dampers — the same damper architecture that debuted on the original F-150 Raptor and has since been exclusive to the Badlands within the Bronco lineup. No other Bronco variant offers HOSS 3.0 as a factory option, which makes it the RTR’s single most significant differentiator.
The Sasquatch upgrade also steps the tires up to 35-inch Goodyear units and adds a Ford Racing heavy-duty modular front bumper. Stack the Sasquatch Package with RTR Suspension, the RTR Appearance Graphics Package — featuring a topographic map of Johnson Valley, California, a nod to the desert running grounds that shaped the truck’s suspension tuning — and the Hyper Lime appearance package, and the price climbs to just under $60,000 before destination. With the delivery fee, expect to land around $61,000 fully loaded. That’s still roughly $19,000 south of a base Raptor.
Hyper Lime Inside And Out
The RTR’s signature color isn’t just an exterior option. Hyper Lime runs through the entire cabin: seatbelts, stitching, grab handles, air vents, and instrument panel accents all carry the shade. The seats wear RTR-specific logos, and Ford’s infotainment screens open with unique RTR startup and welcome animations. For buyers who want the suspension hardware without the visual statement, more restrained configurations are available — but the Hyper Lime package is clearly the look Ford and RTR designed the truck around.
The RTR’s positioning in the Bronco lineup is straightforward. It sits above the Badlands in off-road focus and well below the Raptor in price. It won’t match the Raptor’s twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 or its widened body, but for gearheads who want factory-backed Fox shocks, 35-inch tires, and Raptor-sourced cooling and steering hardware without crossing the $80,000 threshold, the fully loaded RTR makes a genuinely strong case. The Badlands crowd that’s been eyeing the Raptor from a distance now has a real middle option — and it’s built on the same line, with the same warranty, as every other Bronco.
