Ford still hasn't responded to the Jeep's full float axle / 5000 lbs towing. There was also a rumor last year during the 2025 race of a Badlands running on the Ranger Raptor Fox shocks as a potential future suspension option also.
Then nothing happened regarding either this year. So maybe next...
Want that tailgate on a regular Bronco.
I am sure they’d slap a black bucking Bronco in the middle or on the left side for branding.
Would think the bed will be longer to be able to mount a spare underneath.
Oh and it will come in white, black or gray - not a bright actual color. /s
Sounds like an opportunity to design an interior rack the bolts into the Raptor brace holes with a strap across the c-pillar cross brace for an overhead solution.
Trying to tap into an ACC source for a stereo line converter. (2022 Bronco Raptor)
Every thing I have read says use the #35 5A not Used (spare) in the body control module fuse panel under the driver dash. I don’t get any power from that or any of the spare slots.
Putting a Micro 2 tap on #37...
@Diode Dynamics - you guys need a DOT three marker light mode for the Bronco Raptor (and F150 Raptor). Then I can ditch the third brake light and get a little more rearview vision.
Just messing around on B&P - man what a boring set of "color" choices!
The only good news is the ability to finally choose a white-ish top (whatever Avalanche is).
Yes - I used the roll-on stuff on my boat trailer fenders for non-skid and it works / looks great.
But, I also used it on my raptor step where I had hoop step brakes welded (for my wife and elderly parents to be able to get in on the passenger side) and that did not come out as consistent.
I’ve considered the same thing, and even have some scratches at this point. (Too late for the ppf, and it won’t protect against sharp edged cargo slide anyway.) I haven’t done the bedliner because it’s permanent, and I can’t get it to look factory when I’ve applied it in other projects.
Don’t know about you all, but 10 gears make “manual” shifting a PITA for any kind of sport driving. Even the sport mode on the Raptor is annoying with the number of downshifts.
The one place manual mode is useful is when you want to hold a gear on the trail.
@jclark - based on your results, I drilled the brusher, put in 3/8" nutserts, and moved my relocation bracket up yesterday. I am much happier with the 360 cam view. THANKS!
Like others have said - wait to see what the 2026 brings, then decide. At that point you’ll probably be able to get a deal on a 2025.
FWIW, I love my 2022, except it’s WIDE when parking or pulling into the garage. (Part of me will always yearn for a 2 door Badlands 7MT though.)
To me the stupidest part is for all that extra weight and complexity, you use gas to charge the battery. Which—beyond regenerative braking charging—completely negates the environmental benefit of an EV.
I realize the 3.0 would be getting 13.5 mpg without it, and the 5.0 presumably something...
