[skhubbard93]

Some BRaptor info and some conjecture in this C&D article:
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a...utm_campaign=Weekly-9-24-21&utm_content=lnk2b

Of note:

• 37" will be "available" (=$$$)
• they think it will be a MY23 delivered at the end of 2022
• "expected to use 450 hp TT V6"
• "starting in the mid-$60k range"

Good catch there - it was getting late and I was tired of messing with it haha. I realized I forgot to change the hood too. As you said, by the time I continue working on it, it'll be shown.

Besides, this thread has been killed by the "where's my Bronco" gang, so not many will see my render now anyway.

I saw it was 35 pages so jumped to the end. It looks good. I also realize some people still ignore the part where it says Raptor and are still calling it a Warthog. So I'm glad I skipped through it all.

The more I think about the name, it should have been called this:

I haven’t seen anyone mention the vents on the top of the front fenders. The F150 Raptor has hood vents like this. So it makes sense to put them on the Raptor. Aren’t these the exact same style vents sticking through the camo? Sure looks that way to me. If they’re not, then what are they?
Look at 3:16

Agreed. But they wanted the Raptor name recognition and reputation

So if you have a reservation already can you switch it to a raptor?

Edit: I don't really think this is going to happen, but one can dream!

They will be special allocated vehicles and not every Ford dealer will get one.

First in line at my dealer at sticker. I called them within minutes of that teaser. The list is already 28 spots long....

If your dealer gets one I will
Be impressed if you get it at sticker.

Does the current Signature Lighting for the Bronco run with amber DRLs like shown here or is this new? When the blinkers are on on the sig lighting is this how they appear?

This is on the badlands.

Speaking of, look what I saw cruising around my neighborhood just now. Sorry, not great pics, but I took these through the windshield as I was driving by on my way home from work. Live in Breck, so maybe some more high altitude testing? Or maybe just checking out the fall colors... Gave a thumbs up and got one in return! Can I have my Bronco now please?!

you can just catch a glimpse of them in the video as they pan across...

Looks like fall has started in you’re area, we still have another month or so here in NorCal. How awesome would that have been to have actually been in your own Bronco

Btw, Breckinridge is amazing, I learned to ski there when I was a little kid, but just like everything else, it’s changed a lot since the 70’s when the first Broncos roamed the streets with ski racks…lol

Definitely not as good in my Jeep GC, for sure! The trees are pretty great this year though. Drove up Peak 9 last weekend for the view.

Yes, I know some folks who've been up here since the 70s and they have some great stores. Not like that anymore - much different than when I first moved here in 2002, and especially a lot of change in the last 5 years. We'll see how all the new folks feel after a few winters up here though. A lot of people only make it a few years before deciding they don't like 8 months of winter. With global warming though who knows, maybe that will drop down to 7 months...or the whole place will burn down. Got some snow on the peaks again earlier this week. Ready for ski season, Bronco or not!

CA ski resorts…no snow, but plenty of ash.

Exactly, it's only a matter of time.
Luckily we got some good moisture right after the Ptarmigan fire started in Silverthorne this week.

Global warming...if you believe it you're hypocritical by burning gas for fun, or you don't care. I don't believe it so I burn gas with impunity of conscience.

Nice catch. Still surprised no one has talked about it. Even in the new photos in the post above you can see a glimpse of them.
