Are you keeping your bronco res or do we thank you for moving the line forward?

 

[Raptor911]

lol. Keeping my bronco. Actually waiting on the warthog also. There is a bill working itself through Congress that if a hybrid is built in a union factory then it will qualify for a 12,500 tax credit. Rumor has it that the warthog will have a hybrid option. If this all works out then I will buy 2.

Here are the details of the bill >> https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-senate-panel-advances-ev-tax-credit-up-12500-2021-05-27/

v8 is too rich for my blood. I was watching a trx review where the owner said gas is 400 a month. Can you imagine buying a 90-100k truck and then on top of that paying 400 a month in fuel?

I’m waiting another year and a half for the V8

the hybrid will have 190ft-pound more torque than the base engine

Got it. Still no hybrids or EVs allowed in my garage.

Why would that be an issue if you have multiple vehicles? I just rotate which one i drive and it actually doesn’t cost as bad as it sounds on gas...

edited: would love a V8, but definitely not waiting that long. If anything I’ll get it after i pay off the first bronco.

If you can afford a $100k truck, the cost of fuel is of no consequence. With my Bronco costing just a bit more than half that number and using premium grade fuel, I’ll be spending $260/mo for gas as it is well over $4/gal here in Calif.

let me find the pic for you of the hybrid warthog testing for you.

Read this >> https://fordauthority.com/2021/03/ford-bronco-warthog-hybrid-spotted-for-the-first-time/

Yes I can actually since it would be a purpose truck and that purpose is sport not daily use. I’ve spent that on “economy” vehicles daily driving to work when I had a 40 mile commute each way plus travel through the day for the job.

Aside from that, sport use still wouldn’t scare me off. I Whippled my 6.2 and still got better mileage than my second gen Raptor. Those turbos really eat. If I’m going to spend $84k on the 5.2 Supercharged Raptor I sure as hell am not going to be complaining about how much it costs to fill it. I already made the decision to eat that at that point lol.

Also there is currently no Hybrid Raptor Warthog in development so I don’t know why you’re expecting it.

 

[Raptor911]

I have always have multiple vehicles and do so now. But the raptor R will def be a 100k plus vehicle with adm on top. Again too rich for my blood.

Congrats! I am 3rd on my dealer list. I have to have 37's or bust... but I am not getting that hideous blue interior.. which means i wait to see if its gone in 2022 or gone in the 'R'. Did they say when you can expect it?

 

[Raptor911]

I was 3rd on my dealer list also and they got 3 allocations today. Orders have to to be placed by June 10.

I was told I will def have it by fall.

I read somewhere that Job2 for the F150 begins in June where the tremor and raptor will be added to the line
