So, creating a business from ground up with true innovation, and bringing a product to the market that does not exist is cowardly? That one of the most American thing one can do. Tesla changed the industry, the minds of the entire world about EV. Rivian is taking a do or die approach to build a...

I am for R1T or R1S. Smaller package, and more on and off road capability.

I tapped out and canceled my reservation. I realized, as exciting as the potential of the Bronco is, it is not the vehicle for me. The interior and the MIC are not for me, and the early production issues were the last drop in the bucket. I had been to the early dealer showings, I was...

Now we all know how that story unfolded for the Bronco, right? Very capable in many way without a doubt. However, you can find it in you to give some credit where it is due to a luxury SUV ;)

I think they read your post:

To reach that price for a Rivian, you must have clicked on every possible option. However, for a $35K Bronco, you must have picked none of the options :p Yes, Rivian is more expensive but has a lot more capabilities than the Bronco too. The value equation is different for everyone. Along the...

I am sure you are right, however, for me it is not the power but the utility part of it. The rear passenger space of the F150, Supercrew, is so large and usable in addition to the bed in the rear, it is beyond what I can do with an SUV. The power certainly a welcome bonus.

I wish! I am not that comfortable financially haha. The more I look into the Raptor, the more I like it. I test drove a Gen 2 recently, and it was surprisingly pleasant and fun, and far more easier to drive than I was expecting.

Are there many different proven options on the market at this time for such kits?

Great story and coverage, well done!!! They certainly picked the right person for this. (y)

Such great perspectives, thank you all. Yes, in MD I can see how tough it may be to live with a Raptor. I can only afford a single vehicle at this time, has to do it all for me. I already have two Land Cruisers for various activities, but a Raptor or Bronco would be mine alone and not shared...

I know it should not be a comparison, fundamentally different vehicles for different purposes, but... I cannot help myself and consider the Raptor. My Badlands configuration is up to $60K, the Raptor configuration is up to $75K (staying conservative). The price difference is significant in...

The later in 2022 the better IMHO. I am wondering what the next version will look like, in the meantime it is entertaining and wonderful to see all the excitement of people who are about to get their Bronco. Cannot wait to see and hear how things will turn out in the hands of actual owners.

As a newbie on the topic of Raptor, I wonder if I am missing something, any help is appreciated. this new Raptor carries over the last generation engine and transmission apparently. It is essentially the same steel frame, not aluminum, but now has a five-link coil-spring rear setup, can be...

Obviously, I am guessing, since I have no idea what the 'programmers' are/were thinking with these things. There is obviously a significant difference between high-speed vs. high-speed depending on conditions. For example, if you are running across a desert at 60-100 mph with occasional...
