Bronco Raptor off-road tech review / explanation by Justin McBride

[wilbersk]

every manufacturer has tune tires now for their halo cars. For example … TRX and bmw m cars.

and this vehicle maybe dumb to some BUT to others it is a beast and Ford will sell everyone they make.

When the first set of tires wears out, how are you supposed to buy the “tuned” ones again?

Don't worry, your friendly Ford dealer will take good care of you...

What do you do when your tires go bad? You buy them. Vendors like tire rack actually sell manufacturer specific tires that was tuned for a particular vehicle

Corvette and Michelin have been doing this for years. In 2014 when I did the Ron Fellows professional driving course in a Corvette, we were on track until 4:30 each day. At 5:00 Ron Fellows was out on Track testing tires for Corvette and Michelin Engineers. Watched it for 3 evenings about 3 hours each.

While this Bronco Raptor may not make sense to some, as you say every one will sell. Dealers have lines of people waiting for one. I'm a die hard 2-Door Fan, think it looks best, rides and drives way better than a Jeep. If I am selected to change my order to a Raptor I most likely will. Its an incredible machine.

LOL i bought my K02s for my 18 Raptor from my dealer & it was cheaper than going elsewhere.

Also he spits out a good bit of wrong info in the beginning about power numbers. The Raptor engines wasn’t specifically tuned to make 400 HP, it makes that in the other vehicles it’s in. If Ford gave it a special tune I’m sure the goal is north of 400 HP. He goes in to give the wrong power numbers around the regular Bronco.

You’re a special kind of person to come in here and call me wrong without providing anything solid to back it up.

Here are my sources for all the numbers you think I misrepresented - I’m not wrong.

Please think before you speak next time.

I’d like to disagree but yeah the whole “Reasons why I was wrong about the Ford Bronco” right before taking delivery of a free test vehicle has more red flags then the ‘21 Spa GP.

So fun fact, I was in the ambassador program but under NDA when I made the 10 Things I Hate Video. They encourage me to be honest with my opinions. It’s literally a line in my contract - the “I was wrong” video was merely a response of pre-production opinions versus real-life camping with one.

I’m working on a follow-up to the 10 things I hate video after some genuine trail time behind the wheel.

Very good video quality as always.

Thanks! Glad to see not everyone on here hates my work!

 

[justinbmcbride]

Well done.

Thanks! I wish I could’ve done more, but Mike Levine pulled up and that signaled that my time was done.

 

[justinbmcbride]

The KOH walk throughs have been really good. They show the things I would look at if I was there in person as opposed to those first videos from Michigan I assume.

WAIT HOLD UP... REAR CENTER SEAT CUP HOLDERS!!!!

I didn’t check to see if there were any better air vents in the rear. That is still an issue with the 4-doors.

Thanks for sharing! I’ve stopped posting my own videos on this forum because of the swarm of negativity. It’s always nice to see when folks on here respect my work.

Do you’re homework better before you speak next time. You’re wrong.

Click their link to the spec sheet. It’s been removed by Ford. You’re sharing incorrect information and using me as the target in doing so.

I recommend using Ford as the source next time and not a 3rd party. Misinformation is already a plague enough. Please see the up-to-date sources I shared above; or just trust that I thoroughly research specifications before sharing because of folks like you.
