2022 Bronco Raptor makes most revealing public appearance yet

[xmod]

Love the tail lights - I wonder if those can swap easily with a Badlands?

no v8 no buy

2.7 regular bronco is fine. Without a v8 there is really no reason to pay the premium for whatever this is raptor is since only a small amount of people live near areas where you can utilize a extreme suspension (desert running).

people making apologetics for ford on this are enabling the behavior. We only have about a decade and a half of production ICE cars left. We need as many aluminum skinned v8's as possible because in 30 years they will be worth their weight in gold.

Probably even more bonkers suspension, interior stuffs, 37's and mo powah baby.

Isn’t this actually less revealing than prior appearances (November 8)? It looks like they put camo back on, not that they took more off

What makes this worth 25-50k more than a loaded badlands? If it’s only jumping from the 2.7 to 3.0 ecoboost V6 I don’t see it.

nothing. The only "upgrades" i could see are suspension that you wont ever use unless you live in the desert and maybe paddle shifters.

this is a giant screw up by ford. All they would have to do to make this thing sell is put the coyote or godzilla in it. and it would sell very well too

thats it. Nobody is going to buy a performance vehicle with a v6 that has less displacement than a jeeps pentastar lmfao

That's the whole idea of the raptors, they were designed as basically a desert chase vehicle. Not the Bro-dozer street racer everyone seems to think they should be.

its funny because ford just announced an actual bronco desert racer and it has a v8

The three light rear markers are needed for DOT because of the the width (like the raptors, duallys etc).

Always wondered why those trucks had those, they were described to me in the past as “clearance lights”. I always mistakenly assumed they referred to vertical clearance but it sounds like it’s related to horizontal clearance instead.

Good to know .

I can't put my finger on it, but there's something about it that makes me not like it more than anything in the regular bronco lineup.

You know...Like the F-150 Raptor. Because those don't sell well at all right? Or a Skyline GT-R, or a Ford GT, or an Indy car for that matter.

We heard it here first folks, the Bronco Raptor is going to be a massive flop. Lol

I've said it before, and will say it again, but the width of track just looks to preposterous compared to the limited width of the hardtop. It's most evident in the rear. Like a fat guy with a little hat. The width of the top of the hard top is almost 60% the total width of the flares/wheels. It's almost to the point that your eyes question if the greenhouse is just a single row of seats with the driver in the middle, because your mind wants to visually scale down the track of the vehicle to be within normal range.

ford is putting the v8 back into the raptor because of demand.
