It's replacing GT production at Multimatic. https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2021/11/01/ford-bronco-dr.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twintornados Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 What we all knew...the Coyote 5.0L fits! and if the Coyote fits, the Godzilla surely will!! Quote Purpose-built and turnkey, Bronco DR – Desert Racer – is intended for off-road use only. It builds upon the already impressive capability of the production Bronco, bolstering that with a third-generation Ford Coyote 5.0-liter V8 engine that aims to generate more than 400 hp, Multimatic Positional Selective DSSV™ Dampers and Multimatic safety cage, plus a host of other racing hardware upgrades.

Not necessarily on a production vehicle though. Purpose built race vehicles are vastly different when it comes to cooling, exhaust, A/C, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it probably has a custom tube frame which would make fitting whatever engine you want a whole lot easier. Having said that, if the stock Bronco/Ranger T6 frame has been modified (widened) to fit a V6 with turbos hanging off the cylinder heads (no separate exhaust manifolds on the Nano) then fitting a Coyote becomes much easier.

I think it’s a regular chassis with modifications. I don’t think width is a problem but length might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree; I also feel that would apply to potential Raptor R versions of the Bronco and Ranger (the potential for the latter was discussed publicly by Ford).

Rumour that Ford actually built two Ranger Coyote mules in Thailand during development as part of a proposal for a post factory conversion for Ausie based extreme enthusiasts but nothing came from that, now looks like the engineering was intended for the Raptor R that we now see.

Yeah, I heard some reports about this... I wonder if that is going to contribute to a Ranger Raptor R in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
