Bronco Raptor VIN 001 will be auctioned off to support outdoor conservation

[vrtical]

Ford creates an off-road vehicle to take out on the trails and then donates money to people who want to close the trails.

its more of a payoff

wild-shrub-crushing 16MPG guzzlers for conservation.

I’m on board

Was gonna say, the money from the sale should barely offset the trail damage that a raptor being piloted by a YouTube dudebro will cause.

Exactly.

If there's one thing we know about corporations, it's that they like to have their cake and eat it, too. No "movement" is so opposed to their product that they can't cynically join that movement

They should raffle it instead. Id buy $10-20 of tickets.

This is Soooo stupid...the only thing ford's trying to conserve is its reputation. I have a big problem with many of the conservationists because they donate money to the Sierra Club and other take-your-rights-away groups. Why donate to folks like the Sieera Club when they have a history of CLOSING ORV parks and dunes and 4x4 roads, under the guise of conservation. Thell conserve the spotted owls rights , but stomp on yours in the process...

I see this every single day in the national and state owned lands. Keep the individual people out, gate the roads, remove access, (except by foot) make ALL resources unavailable to the individual (even picking wild blueberrys requires a fucking permit thanks to thes conservationists groups) but let big corporations like Weyerhaeuser, for example, do whatever the want.

All smoke and mirrors.

If they REALLY want to help acess to the outdoors and improve
their image, Why don't they petition the US forest service and BLM to create or allow others to create a massive 4x4 trail system throughout the US?

Sure some things do need to be conserved, like fresh water for example, but in my area this has gone WAY too far already and needs to be reversed!

This is Soooo stupid...
