Raptor or Filson?

[raqball]

Sad but true

Every time ADV or APG are mentioned we need to warn people to not spend a single cent with them.. Some people might not know about the millions of dollars they scammed from Bronco owners..

Yep, they were partners with ADV & sold vaporware tops stiffing a lot of members who had to pay in full. I won't give them a penny.

Gentlemen, let's just remember one thing. It's never about whether you would or wouldn't. It's only about an appropriate level of booze!!! Lol

Wait just a minute there mister! Are you implying that you might have to chew off one of those fender flares to esape the next morning?

They’re most likely not dropping the 2.7 until after 2027

Yup, that would be them....

LONG thread here: (there were several threads about the scam)

https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/adv-production-modular-hardtop.57988/

I think the estimate is well over $7 million dollars scammed.. The Bronco owners never got a single cent back..

Coyote ugly!

You could easily get a Badlands with the Hoss 3.0 loaded up and do a leather seat cover kit.. I bet the Filson will have markups, and you won't see them till Spring.. the Raptors are MSRP or less and are a helluva vehicle..

Here we go again. You would let fender flares keep you from buying the best Bronco trim by far? If your wife had big ears would you divorce her. Silly. Get the Braptor and you will not be sorry.

I'd buy a Learjet to but it makes that awful high-pitch engine sound when it goes fast as balls across the sky! I think I'm gonna buy a crop duster instead and be sensible to the forums to make it sound like I'm cool and postulate about things I know nothing about....oh yeah, "gawd those fenders"....some Ford engineer is laughing while he eats his Campbell's soup cup in the break room at the plant.

Different things are important to different people. I won’t buy a car if I don’t like the typography of the nameplate, but that’s me. I’m a snob. Aesthetic decisions and a vehicle’s design language are deal-breakers for some, just like horsepower or MPG matter a lot to others. Some people think the cybertruck is beautiful. Go figure.

Survey says…

Survey says…

Ford doesn’t break out Bronco sales by trim level, but there have likely been more cybertrucks sold since their introduction in 2022 (between 60-63K) than Braptors since 2021 (estimated at less than 10% of total Bronco sales). Hard to believe, but likely true! I’m sure the cybertruck is also good at starting conversations with strangers — ones that include expletives!

I’m sure you’re correct on Cyber Truck sales… for multiple reasons. Also agree, percentage the BRaptor is the lowest number sold of Bronco… again for multiple reasons, probably the lowest reason is it’s looks or build. For Owner's that retains their vehicles for years… that’s great news for resale, the lower numbers help with resale, collectible, and keeping it unique in appearance.

You see an older Porsche wide fender & whale tail… still get noticed as different from normal. Some hate it… I’ve always found them beautiful and they too were a pleasure to drive!

Still find it humorous how so many negative comments come from the Bronco community, when it’s highly admired by so many elsewhere. What difference does it make if you don’t like its looks… I find it even more entertaining reading the comments… relax it’s not yours… Enjoy your Bronco.
