Isn’t there talks of the new Raptors getting the 2.7L engine anyways?

I would think it would get the 3.0TT. Just a guess.

I might suggest blacking out his information in order to avoid doxxing him.

He made his profile completely public, you don't even need to sign in to view it.

This is awesome but... makes me want to wait. ?

Haha! Since the announcement of the Bronco return, I've been saving a monthly car payment for the past three years to use as my down payment for the 2021... I guess if I wait, I might be able to pay cash...

 

[CanadianHorseMan]

hmmm. shit. Do I lease or finance my Badlands? I've always financed or purchased...

Well, I guess there will be a job opening soon for an EDS Engineer at Ford.

Let’s all wait for Ford to neither confirm nor deny the existence of a Ford Bronco Raptor in the works.

They won’t comment on future product, remember...

My plan will be to get the 2021 with the ample power of the 2.7 and use it for a couple of years to see if it needs more power....which I doubt, and then get the Raptor if the performance differential justifies the price differential.

It’s not a sports car but a cool retro vibe time machine?.

I could see holding onto my '21 but eventually punching out the 2.7L to 3.0L since they're essentially the same other than bore and stroke. A 3.0L/hybrid combo might change my mind years down the road tho.

Same! Every time they delayed the announcement I was like, "just a better down payment."

And now with talks of a hybrid engine in the future, Raptor... idk. Its clear Ford will continue to aggressively recapture the off road market. The FOMO of future goodies is real. Its balanced by my fear the prices are going to jump in the next years due to all the things happening in the economy... and the 195k miles on my 2008 Jeep Patriot, haha.

Can we just get the 2021 out of the way first?!

I hope he doesn’t get canned. He didn’t know about the relentless investigative powers at bronco6g. It’s amazing. This info does kind of make me think about waiting, like others have said. So I mean, he shouldn’t have put this out there. Could cost Ford some sales...

On the other hand, it could also garner some higher profit sales, albeit in the extended future. All I can say though, is that if any of my engineers displayed an un-announced future project on their LinkedIn pages without prior authorization, they would have to be let go.

 

[WildTrak]

dammit... yet another vehicle that I really want, but its just more waiting... the new Bronco, the new 4Runner, 3rd gen Raptor, and now the Bronco Raptor. Its a hard time to be an instant gratification junkie.

Understood. In this day and age, when someone makes an error in judgement, which this may well be, it's common for people to spread it out and the consequences can be severe, not only to the person in question but to the person's family. Some people just don't understand how to operate social media and accidentally leave information public that probably shouldn't be.

The information is good information, but it would be just as good information if the publicly identifiable information were redacted. I do appreciate knowing the rumor that there's a Raptor in the works, but personal information, even a publicly accessible profile, is not necessary for for the information to be useful.

Also, should it cause an engineer working on a raptor project to be fired or reassigned, it could negatively impact the timeline for any raptor project. They'd now be short an engineer.

 

[uncledoodoo]

I just can't find another damn to give about future builds when we can't even figure out what we can get on a 2021 yet

 

[Straight 6]

Funny if the engineers were just doing that to mess with everyone here

Guys guess what I'm going to put 23 bronco raptor on my profile and just sit back and see where the forum goes with it ???
