Bronco Raptor will reportedly have a manual transmission option

[Cactus Jack]

Think of how many people would be swayed to get the Bronco Raptor if it had a manual. Ford might be on to something

Maybe the word “ printed “ proceed manual

You can buy a printed manual from Helm(but it really should come with one already).

Ford will not need any sway to get folks to buy the Warthog. They will sell everyone they can make.

Personally, the photos of the Raptor Bronco have not impressed me at all. That being said, I was never a fan of the Raptor F 150. That was until my son brought their evaluation Raptor in code orange over to my house. I was an immediate convert. That truck was unbelievable! Still, the early photos of the B Raptor, just look silly in my eyes.

Photos never really do justice for vehicles. Either it is worst or outrageous in person.

If they are going after the Stellantis V8 vehicles... that would imply the 5.2L Predator engine that's in the Shelby GT500. Only V8 engine I'm aware of that Ford provides with a turbo from the factory.

Which means we're looking at a $75,000 vehicle for the Bronco Raptor... probably closer to $80,000 once you configure it how you'd want it.

Don't forget the ADM, so probably more like $160k. Have you heard what dealership s are doing to the Lightning Reservations? Supposedly they are using the allocation model to Justify ADMs. Emailing reservation holders and saying we have 20 allocations and 200 reservations. We will prioritize your order for $20k. At least you get told before delivery.

I am on the Warthog wait-list at 2 different dealerships at sticker.

BUT this is internet and thus ADM is a scare tactic.

The only possible "manual" trans would be the 7-speed dual clutch. A traditional clutched trans does not fit what the Raptor is designed for.

I'm sure ADM exists and if there wasn't a legitimate parts scarcity combined with an artificial limited run scarcity ADM wouldn't be an issue. I could just walk away from a dealership. That being said like you I'm on two wait lists with no ADM.

I think most people are throwing outrageous prices out there for the Raptor to convince themselves they can't afford one. It is easier to tell people you couldn't afford a 160K Raptor rather than an 80K Raptor because of your ego.

we are smart.

If I end up getting a Raptor in 2022 you're gonna need to send me your address I owe you a nice gift man. I'm optimistic based on the numbers but who knows where the chips land.
