Ford Bronco Raptor shows off its 37-inch tires in latest preview

C'mon, Ford. Just show us the Bronco Raptor already. Or is that Bronco Warthog?

It all started with Gran Turismo. From those early PlayStation days, Sean was drawn to anything with four wheels. Prior to joining the Roadshow team, he was a freelance contributor for Motor Authority, The Car Connection and Green Car Reports. As for what's in the garage, Sean owns a 2016 Chevrolet SS, and yes, it has Holden badges.

What else will the Bronco Raptor feature to make it off-road royalty?

Ford

has a secret it's clearly eager to talk about, but it's not quite ready to give it all away. That is the Ford Bronco Raptor. Or Bronco Warthog. It's not clear which name the Blue Oval will go with yet, but either way this Bronco you see here will be the best of the best when it comes to the Broncos in Ford's stable.

On Friday, Ford dished a new teaser for the SUV on Twitter and confirmed it wears some pretty meaty tires -- 37-inch rubber to be exact. 

That's all the automaker wanted to tell us for now, but we know Ford's engineers don't mess around when it comes to bestowing the Raptor name on a vehicle. All we could surmise from the last photo was a lot of room for suspension travel as the Bronco Raptor prototype pictured caught some air. While the standard Bronco will be more about crawling through the dirt and over rugged terrain, the Bronco Raptor should be more about high speed off the beaten path.

The jury's out on when Ford plans to show the Bronco Raptor, or Warthog, but if it keeps up the teasers, we could see the SUV by the end of this year, perhaps. We've heard the 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor could bow this year, too, so perhaps we're in for two new off-road machines.
