I seriously hate those fenders.

edit: I appreciate what it is and it’s capability but they look… not good. I hope they’re not the finished product
Your Badlands - will look better on all fronts - not a plastic monstrosity :)

These were just an after thought...these flares are just a bad design and look bad... @Ford Motor Company , please make sure your designers pay attention to the details, Hopefully this is just on your test mules...

Do we know if the flares are removable? I can't imagine they are with the rear door molding (unless you remove the doors too). That may be the best look for the Raptor, fender flare deletes and doorless.

i think it’s that they tried to contour the rear ones. Just doesn’t look right to me
Exactly. I can do with the squircle fenders if only they didn’t try to contour them.

That being said, they have slightly grown on me, but it’s still ugly.

I think what irks me IS the fact that the entire vehicle is boxy in design and then… contoured fenders? Like… did they fire their previous designer?

I love'em - they killed any regrets I was having about not waiting for the Raptor.

If they had looked good, or even like something other than a blind kindergartener's first Play-Doh experiment then I might've contemplated reserving and then have to explain to my wife why I needed to buy*another* Bronco. And since that would've likely led to divorce, those fenders actually saved my marriage.

Yep, I love'em!

Those fender flares are still pretty gooney looking but definitely not as bad as when I first saw them. The acceptance phase is starting to kick in 😂

Just not a fan of the Braptor at all, petsonally. With the f150 and now Ranger that are look exceptional, especially in design, I think this was a miss by Ford. I'm sticking with the bronco I have and getting the Ranger Raptor when it hits the us next year. That way I have both to play with and a bed when I need it, besides.

No shot at those of you that like it, I just dont personally care for it and would far rather have the Ranger Raptor and that I feel has a better looking design and more flexibility (utility and off road prowess). And have my Bronco when I really want to off road or rock climb.

That's the funniest way of describing them that I've seen. Perfection.

I love my CO Badlands. I would not even consider a CO Raptor. Those flares need as little attention as you can give them.

They may be removable but not as simple as the regular Bronco. There is no way the body panels under that rear flare is a finished product, painted maybe but that’s about it. The tires will stick out too far and not look any better.

I will just wait for some new fenders with larger metal lip flares and less plastic. It will be the easiest thing to correct with the Raptor.

Reminds me of the Jeep Renegade from the late 80's early 90s where they bolted on massive fender flares, body color matched them and charged you a lot more money. I realize there is a lot more substance to the Raptor but those flares don't look right to me. Just can't get that out of my head when I see the Raptor.
