Bronco Raptor just released!

[cdyoung9799]

I would take the Rubi 392 all day over this. Coming from a past owner of a GT500 and 2nd Gen Raptor - FCA just does it better

Totally agree. I've owned 2 Shelbys in the past, and THIS is more of what I expected from the Bronco. It's still a big wide SOB. I would take the 392 Wrangler (and hopefully 392 Galdiator) any day of the week.

All I can say is at least Ford is doing things Jeep should have been doing. 37s? Jeep don’t care we will just match the Bronco Sasquatch package. 37s will be coming to the wrangler shortly. Oh you want gears better then 4.10s? Sorry we won’t do that…what’s that you say Bronco has 4.56s?? Okay, we can do 4.56s and 4.88s.

They should have made the fenders flat so there's enough table space for all-day-breakfasts at all corners... Talk about overlanding ready...

I don’t like the TFL guys… tried to meet them… they walked on by with their noses up

oh and … meh… until they put a full electric bronco out with 1000 miles range it isn’t a big deal

I missed this earlier when I posted. As a reservation holder and Bronco “fan” I guess? F Ford for this chit show allocation/reservation/preorder model they put out. This thing is hideous, I really can’t believe how bad it is. Those dumbass vents on the fender, the hood, the flares. WTF. The only thing I like and am pissed off about is that this is the only model that got a decent looking interior and a cool gauge cluster. With every release and hype video Ford creates I hate them a little more. They are quite possibly the least customer friendly business I’ve ever seen. I just need my wife to realize she wants a Jeep and not a Ford and I can be done with them forever.

They should have gone with colored fenders, wouldn't have stood out so much.

Probably will for $2000 more. lol

Huh grill is pretty boring too. That style is going on a decade old now and IMO hows Ford rushed this out w/o putting in the extra design work to give this it’s own identity. Even reusing the Raptor name seems lazy. I remember when people were speculating they would call it the warthog

 

[DirkG]

This is a good comparison shot with the regular Bronco...

 

[TrainMan]

How do you offroad in something so W I D E ?

 

[OnlyOne]

How do you off-road in something so UGLY?

My goodness, I was interested in the bronco before they came out but they just keep getting more hideous. Jeep has little to worry about.

 

[Garemlin]

Won't be able to touch one for under $100k with mark up. 70k is a pipe dream

A few might get lucky. Ford is actually offering current Bronco reservation holder still waiting first dibbs at the Bronco Raptor. Maybe they will step in and stop ADMs like they are with the upcoming Lightning.

According to Daddy Doug DeMuro's intel he shared in his video showcasing the Braptor, Ford's excuse for not painting the fender flares was because the factory that produced the press release Braptor shown was not "set-up" to paint such a wide vehicle. I would imagine that the fender flares would be painted separate from the rest of the body panels, then installed after the fact. Not sure if there will be changes to production Braptors, ie: optional painted fender flares.
Seems like an excuse for just wanting to rush out this vehicle for press coverage.
