"Bronco Raptor" may be production name for "Warthog" model

[Ecobeast]

I like Bronco MOAB it’s a direct spin on Jeep using Rubicon.

It also works as an acronym.
“Mother Of All Broncos”

Only problem is Moab has been a special edition Jeep trim as recently as a year or two ago. I’d prefer something unique.

Exactly

And Ford Raptor was an established, well recognized, name back when it first came out?

At the end of the day, I really don’t care. Just get the dang thing to market.

I have a feeling even though it doesn’t sound unique they’ll probably tag the Raptor at the end of the name like they’ve done with the “F-150 Raptor” and “Ranger Raptor” and just call it “Bronco Raptor”. Ford kinda now uses it as a trim name...like what they’re doing with the new Lightning...it’s no longer a specific model but a variation.

Calling it the Bronco Raptor just makes the most sense because Ranger and F-150 have Raptor versions and this is just going to be the Raptor version of the Bronco. I already know people that refer to it as the Bronco Raptor.

Well... in the 70's they had the Stroppe Baja Edition... now, there's an idea-

'Modifying the first-generation Bronco into an extreme off-roader, Bill Stroppe racing managed to score a win in both the Baja 500 and 1000 rallies with their custom Bronco. Paying tribute to the victory in 1971, less than 650 Stroppe Baja Broncos were made, each fitted with a full suite of off-road rally upgrades by Bill Stroppe racing, as well as some awesome custom paint and bodywork.'

Braptor?

I'm a fan of Brrrraptor if it has a Bronco piloting an A-10.

Warthog name was stupid to begin with and was kinda obvious it'd be a codename moreso than actual model name.
Broncosaurus, Bronco Behemoth, Baja Bronco, names of this vein should be considered.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if ford just named it Bronco Tremor and called it a day. Maximum effort

Bronczilla?

Bronczilla?

Now we’re cooking!

I have never liked that name for this vehicle and went out of my way to refer to it differently at times, partly for that reason. While it has never rested on my very own desk, to name any of these vehicles, I understand such sentiments in given discussions I've had.

Very, very polarizing nameplate which only appeals to some (hardcore loyalists) and easily turns off many in a marketing sense, that don't think of the military plane immediately when the word WaRtHoG is mentioned. Anything pig-related is often an instant turnoff for me. Partly my personal opinion, from my professional perspective. Can't say more than that for now.

One of my fav bikes was the honda xr650r king of baja ,refered to as " the big red pig" i miss you piggy

per article in today’s Ford Authority:

https://fordauthority.com/2021/05/ford-bronco-warthog-might-launch-under-different-name-exclusive/

Sources familiar with the matter have told us that Ford’s current leadership favors powerful, well-recognized names over new names that would need to establish recognition in the marketplace. It is precisely for that reason that two of the newest Ford products rely on existing names with plenty of history, cachet, recognition.

We’re of course referring to FoMoCo’s decision to name its first dedicated EV as the Mustang Mach-E (rather than just “Mach-E”) and its first electric pickup the F-150 Lightning (rather than F-150 EV or F-150 Electric). In that light, the Warthog name has no recognition beyond those closely following the latest Bronco-related news and developments. In fact, it’s not even clear which of the four warthogs inspired the Warthog name to begin with.

the Raptor had zero name recognition until they made one

and ..wildtrak, Badlands..outerbanks....no name recognition there.

it will be a Bronco Warthog ..not a Warthog

Regardless of what Ford calls it, custom badges will be available.

Or a thousand other ideas, @elmystico have any ideas?

 

[Scohin]

where did you hear this from?

BTW .. you can get the Bronco R now >> https://www.autoblog.com/2020/08/27/ford-bronco-r-for-racing-customers-baja-1000/

It's just an educated guess with Ford's Raptor R next year tease. Probably wrong
