Do Bronco Raptors have power seats?

The driver’s seat on the Ford Bronco Raptor is typically power-adjustable, while the front passenger seat’s status varies by year and trim. This article explains what to expect and how to confirm the configuration when shopping.


The Bronco Raptor is Ford’s high-performance off-road variant of the Bronco lineup, introduced to combine rugged capability with enhanced on-road comfort. Seat power configurations have been a point of inquiry for buyers and enthusiasts, as they can influence comfort on long drives and the vehicle’s resale value. The details below summarize current patterns and what to check on a specific build.


What is the Bronco Raptor?


The Bronco Raptor is Ford’s extreme-tuned version of the midsize Bronco, featuring upgraded suspension, a wider track, tougher frame components, and a more powerful engine configuration. Inside, it maintains the Bronco’s rugged, removable-top ethos while offering enhanced seating and comfort options intended for high-speed off-road use and longer journeys.


Are power seats standard on the Bronco Raptor?


In recent model years, the driver’s seat on the Bronco Raptor is generally power-adjustable across most configurations. The front passenger seat's power status varies by year, trim, and market, with manual adjustment being common in many builds and occasional packages offering a power-adjustable option. Always verify the exact build sheet or window sticker for the specific vehicle you’re considering, as configurations can shift between model years and regions.


Here is a quick reference to typical configurations you might encounter:



  • Driver’s seat: generally power-adjustable on Bronco Raptor models (often 8-way with lumbar support).

  • Front passenger seat: usually manual in many builds, though a power-adjustable option may appear on certain packages or years.


Bottom line: the driver’s seat is the most consistently powered control on the Bronco Raptor, while the passenger seat’s power status is not uniform across all trims and years.


How to verify power seats when shopping


To avoid surprises, use these checks during a test drive or a dealer visit:



  1. Inspect the seat controls on the side of the driver’s seat to confirm power adjustment availability and the number of adjustment directions.

  2. Look for a similar set of controls on the front passenger seat side or on the dashboard area that would indicate a power-adjustable passenger seat.

  3. Check the vehicle’s window sticker or the build sheet (VIN-based) for entries like “Power Driver Seat” and “Power Front Passenger Seat.”

  4. Ask the dealer to confirm the exact trim level and year’s seat configuration to ensure you’re getting the desired setup.


Verifying the exact seating configuration ahead of purchase helps ensure you get the comfort setup you expect from a high-performance Bronco Raptor.


Summary


The Ford Bronco Raptor generally offers a power-adjustable driver’s seat across recent model years, while the front passenger seat’s power status varies by year and package. If seat comfort is important to you, verify the specific build with the dealer, review the window sticker, and check the VIN-based build sheet to confirm whether the passenger seat is powered in your desired configuration.
