All four Ford Bronco Raptors will take on King of the Hammers this week. Vaughn Gittin Jr., Loren Healy, and Bailey Campbell will each compete in the stock-based 4600 Everyman Challenge, a class that pushes production platforms to their absolute limits across brutal desert terrain and unforgiving rock sections.
In the 4400 Class, Vaughn and Loren will once again enter the Race of Kings on Saturday, February 7th, piloting their Bronco Raptor 4400s. For RTR, this class represents the ultimate proving ground for performance, with lessons learned in competition directly influencing the development of the Bronco RTR and Bronco RTR ROVR.
Back behind the wheel for her sophomore season with the RTR Vehicles Off-Road Team, Bailey Campbell returns to the 4600 class alongside co-driver Bryan Crofts. Her 4600 Bronco Raptor now wears a bold new black and blue livery that reflects the next chapter of her racing journey and the evolution of the program itself.
This year’s truck represents a major step forward. Built from four years of data, testing, and competition, it showcases how far the 4600 platform has come since its debut.
“Bailey’s new truck represents the second generation of the 4600 Ford Bronco Raptor race truck, incorporating the last four years of learning and implementing them on what we believe to be the best package to date,” said Vaughn Gittin Jr. “We chose the 2.3L engine for the same reason we use it in RTR Vehicles’ production Broncos: plenty of power, lighter weight, and better balance.”
With more seat time, deeper team chemistry, and a refined race package, Bailey and Bryan head into 2026 ready to build on last season’s momentum.
The second Bronco Raptor 4600 brings serious firepower to the roster. Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Loren Healy will split time behind the wheel, supported by co-drivers Jeremy Dickenson and Jesse Amyx.
The team will take on the Everyman Challenge, qualifying earlier in the week before lining up for race day on Friday, February 6th. Vaughn will start the race through the desert, with Loren stepping in once the course turns technical.
In the 4400 Class, Vaughn Gittin Jr. and two-time King of the Hammers champion Loren Healy will each pilot their respective Bronco Raptor 4400. Vaughn will compete in the No. 25 entry, while Loren will take the wheel of the No. 67 Bronco.
This lineup combines different driving styles, backgrounds, and race experience, giving the team a dynamic edge in one of the most demanding classes in off-road racing. Together, they represent the depth of the RTR Off-Road program and its continued commitment to developing both vehicles and drivers at the highest level.
All four new liveries will make their competitive debut at King of the Hammers, one of the toughest off-road events in the world. With its punishing mix of high-speed desert runs and technical rock crawling, KOH is the perfect proving ground for the latest evolution of RTR Vehicles Off-Road’s Ford Bronco Raptors.
As the 2026 season kicks off, these four Broncos represent more than fresh graphics. They reflect our continued commitment to pushing performance, validating capability in the harshest environments, and bringing fans along for every mile of the journey.
