Donā€™t like that ā€œFORDā€œ grille, but mostly wonder what the powerplant will be in this thing.

The regular V6 already is thirsty as hell and it also isnā€™t at all fast or quick. If this Raptor (like Warthog much better) is any more powerful and sounds like it, what are we talking, 12mpg?

Havenā€™t seen the entire thing, but not feeling very blown away thus far. I hope there are some goodies that weā€™re not thinking of because as someone posted earlier, Ford is leaving money on the table with the high end market.

There should also have been a 2 Dr versionā€¦ā€¦. :cautious:

Lame video. A lot more dislikes than likes. Ford got to perform before they gain the trust.

Is there gioing to be option at this point for existing reservation holders to modify the reservation to a different Bronco model, like the Wildtrack?

If so, how might it work, and would it maintain our original place in the order books when it comes to build dates for a new Wildtrack. This would be a really nice consolation step on Ford's part after the delays and inability to provide us with the 2021 Bronco we originally ordered.

Taking delivery of my Bronco, finally, next week. After all the delays, there is no way I am chasing the next ā€œnew pennyā€. I donā€™t have enough patience to do this all over againā€¦

more details will be interesting, read somewhere they might put a 3l V6 in it, I'm not familiar at all with Ford engines though.

Most likely this will cost more than I'd ever spend on a vehicle, but I'm mostly concerned about the width, I'm already wondering if my Badsquatch will fit where I want to take it. Anybody know how wide that narrow slot (devil's something or other) is on the Elephant Hill trail? I sure hope I fit through there.

As for all those 'send me mine first before working on new stuff comments', LOL. I think Ford has more than two or three people working there and development is a completely different dept from those building our rigs. And they didn't just dream this up last week, this has most likely been in development for quite a while.

The negativity on this forum is bordering on the comical at times...

Those are amber lights like the truck and it's a fender flare as mentioned by @Thed

Love the fenders, yellow LEDs and the grille. I've had my BaseSquatch almost 2 months now and love it. I will get the Base version of the Raptor if I can find at MSRP. Wishful thinking?

So, interesting that they did not bump the fenders out some (like the F-150 Raptor) and then add the ABS flares.

Also, those flares are the Heritage more squared off shape.

The fenders look squared, I know I will be using my Ford point for that grille too.

Instead of focusing on new trims and Rapter versions, why donā€™t they focus on producing my Bronco, and the thousands of others, that have been reserved for over 14months. I tired of the ā€œhey, look at the shiny thing in the cornerā€ when I havenā€™t received a VIN even though my reservation was within 8 hrs of banks opening.

I expect the first gen Bronco raptor will be underwhelming. Engine / transmission / suspension specs will be better after this initial offering, so I am not at all interested. An F150 Raptor would be my choice.

Ford sure knows how to give all the fanboys blue balls hyping up the absolute hell out of everything. I guarantee somethings going to go sideways in the supply chain again and weā€™ll all be staring at blurry photos of them in the back of the dirt mountain lot all next summer.

Agreeing with many on here, not a fan of the 'FORD' on the grill. I'm wondering if these will have the stabilizer disconnect like the badlands does or if it's mostly geared towards the Baja crowd like the wildtrack? I think a stronger motor is a given, but I'm also wondering if 37s are a possibility?
