The bronco raptor and ranger raptor owe their names to the F150 raptor…. The only reason Ford green lighted production of the Bronco Raptor is to one up Jeep. Competition is an awesome force for creating amazing vehicles.

Based on the response/reactions on here, could the Raptor end up pushing Ford to go nuclear and drop a V8 in a street legal bronco?

Despite all the grumbling for a V8, I doubt that Ford will have any problem finding buyers for a 3.0 ecoboost Bronco Raptor. I suspect they will comfortably meet their sales targets.
So, I actually don't believe that Ford is feeling pressured by the response/reactions on here...

cough, blue FE interior, cough...
When you're late to the party and making assumptions, you just maybe wrong. Ford added a black interior to the First Edition because "Ford felt felt pressured by the response/reactions on here (Bronco6g).
First Edition Bronco Will Have Navy Pier Interior Option Only

True, but that is a lot simpler addition/fix then adding an engine the vehicle was never designed for and not really having an engine that's a good fit for the application

Look back throughout automotive history, Ford has never been about having the highest horsepower rating, I doubt that they are about to start now.

Haha, alright. There are two things I would want to mention in regards to this.
1. Can we please just acknowledge the massive difference in cost, complexity, and manufacturing execution that exists between changing the color scheme for the interior and changing the entire drivetrain? Yes? Ok.
2. Can we please also please acknowledge the fact that Ford was already fully aware that everyone wanted a V8? Yes? I mean, let's get real here...
Why would a bunch of complaining cause them to completely change course when they already knew ahead of time that everyone was going to complain?
*JUST EDITED TO ADD*
Honestly, I would be genuinely happy if I were proven wrong. A V8 Bronco Raptor would be awesome!
Magic 8 Ball says, ‘outlook is bleak’. I’d say the odds of getting a V8 are about the same as Ford reversing the decision to screw over early reservation holders to favor large dealerships.
A lot of people said that the Tow Rating for the Bronco Raptor would be Less that the Non-Raptor Broncos, as that's the case for the F150 Raptor vs. the F150. Just saying....
Will @Ford Motor Company offer a V8 in a Bronco, not likely, but they could and if so, I'd buy it. Especially if the V8 is the Baby Godzilla.....

I don't see it happening, look how long its taking them to drop the V8 F150 RAPTOR. I think that was in response to the TRX. Just like the 392 was in response to the Bronco.
