Much appreciated! Love the height of yours.

If there was a 2 door variant I might be a little envious but I’ll just keep on loving our 2 door Wildtrak

I know I'm certainly biased to like what I have, but I saw one on the road for the first time over the weekend, and ehhhhh. I do like the look of those 37s pushed ridiculously far out on the corners, but the rest of the differences from a regular squatched Bronco aren't steps in a direction I'd personally want to go. With the two-tone bumper/front skid, extra vents, those giant black fender flares, especially on the lighter paint color options, I think the nicest way to describe it is "busy"

I’m with you on this one. Happy for anyone who love theirs, it’s just not for me based on looks alone. If I had that kind of money to throw around I’d be in an F150 Raptor. Something about it doesn’t feel differentiated enough from a Sasquatch Bronco. Maybe a V8 or a wider body with smaller flares would have done that for me.

For some the envy is real. But being a Moar Door is a non-starter. I'm grateful that Ford offered a true Bronco with a proper door count to enthusiasts. After all, I don't want to die.

No two door option
No V8
They will be produced concurrently so they’re not a limited edition people.
Nobody is ever satisfied or grateful for what they have.
Greed and jealousy are unattractive but increasingly pervasive human traits.
Unless these BRaptor owners are paying cash I don’t envy their financial obligation for a short term ego boost.
The next best thing will be upon us soon.

Not paying cash, but 30,000 down. Could pay cash. Cost less than my car. Not an ego boost. Just something I want, I will wheel it.

Can you post more pics of the Area 51?

Sorry, thing looks like a mess. The performance aspect is cool, but personally, Id take a base SAS two door. Those fenders look borderline ridiculous and the hood has way too much going on. The black on black isnt terrible because it at least hides some of the giant fenders. Call it what you will, but Id probably be in something else if this is how the average Bronco looked. WAY more into the two door Heritage Editions if I was waiting around and paying a markup.

God I hate the way those Braptors look.

I’m happy for all of the Braptor owners taking delivery. I didn’t get the golden ticket with my 7/20/20 reservation but it’s a good thing as the garage on my 1955 house is not tall enough to park a Braptor in the garage. Our average high/low temps are 22º/2º in January so parking any vehicle outside instead of in my heated garage is often a 60º differential.

I don't get the fuss. No envy here. Saw a lady driving a white one in Park City, Utah. It's not horrible, but just looks like a fatter Bronco. I don't see how you'd have more fun off-roading with it. Is it just a a status thing?

it may not be beautiful, but like I said before I’m envious of the numerous real upgrades and tech specs/capabilities. As someone who wants to run 37’s and go off-road, I would really appreciate:

• already lifted
• already on 37’s
• beefier steering rack & tie rods
• Fox shocks
• Upgraded frame/suspension
• Stronger axles
• more powerful engine
• better interior (probably including the mysterious “high trim” dash that I was supposed to get on my FE in 2021).
• better instrument panel display
• exclusivity, and more

I simply LOVE the way my existing Bronco looks on 37’s. But knowing that I’m at risk of breaking something every time I go off-road because I’ve exceeded the design specs is a bit of a bummer.

that would not be a concern in the Braptor. Just my .02

We just received our first shipment of Bronco Raptors this morning.

I am more than a little envious of the lucky folks who are going to get to take these home with them soon.

I’m stuck with my lowly FE

Is that color Area 51? Assuming it is a 2022 so it must be Area 51...

 

[SuperFord]

Clearly your height is matched, or even a bit above a BRaptor... So...

bumper to bumper comparison:

but who’s counting. LoL
