On the one hand, at least ford is leaning in to what they do well and thats desert racing from the factory. This is really what the bronco will excel at and where IFS will be most at an advantage.

On the other, its 10 inches wider, its bigger than even full size trucks at this point. Its gotta look absolutely massive in person.

I see the MIC Hard tops still do not match any other of the plastics ... Thought that would have been resolved by now .. Guess they focused more on the increased fender size ..

It's 4" narrower than an F150.

The bronco raptor has a track width of 75.5” (8.6” wider than stock bronco)

the F150 has a track width of 74”

edit: I was off and the track width is 74” so about identical to a full size truck.

Full width on the raptor bronco according to images and calculations is 86” fender flare to fender flare.

From a long time Ford high perf lover .....oooffff.

+10” wider ?
~6,000 lbs ??
Price tag no one will stomach ....

Lighter weight and less everything etc used to be synonymous with performance. Not anymore apparently.

Yep .... we are in a clown world indeed, but I bet “this thing will drive like a dream on the highway“.

Only positive will be keeping Jeep on their toes.

And real or not (?) the front fender 'vents' sure look stick-on.

I saw a convoy of 4 of these about a week ago on a state route outside of Phoenix all camouflaged. Then I saw another a few days later in the same area. The first thing I noticed was the fenders and the fact that the front mule was covered in mud. I almost turned around so I could follow them lol.
