Ford Bronco Raptor Drops Camo For a Revealing Look… Likely to Get ~450 HP

[Raptor911]

In general ... there are 2 camps .. if you can't afford it then it must suck. And if you can afford it you are licking your chops.

The demand will be crazy and Ford will sell every last one of them.

And of course you can get it at a reasonable price. Granger has a wait list and selling them at sticker. Call them and get on the wait list

The comments on this post are overwhelmingly negative. That's good since it points to less demand which increases my chance of getting one at a reasonable price. if it has bigger, better suspension with longer travel, more power and better brakes then I'm in.

I'm fine with the fenders and grille and will probably go for the 35" tire version.

I had high hopes, but what they’ve “leaked” definitely doesn’t make me regret my 392 XR order one bit. While this is kinda fun to look at, we’re just still hoping to get our early day 2 Badlands order sometime in 2022.

The use of massive squared fender flares causes it to look very Jeep like in a way the Bronco hasn't really. Those flares are wide for the Bronco but pretty standard for the Jeep. I would have preferred an actual wide body fender rather than relying on gargantuan flares. Even a mix of half wide body, half flare would have been better. Something like the Bronco DR wide fenders would have been best. Instead the most expensive model (not counting Bronco DR) will have more Jeep vibes than any new Bronco yet. The fender ADV Fiberglass are making are more my thing. They showed off the regular fenders at SEMA on a number of vehicles, and have a medium and wide fenders on the way.

how do you know it is 25K more? 25K more would be more than the GEN3 Raptor. Do you think Ford would price this above the F150 Raptor?

Hard no.

Don't care the price, the extra flairs and maybe 2-3 inch wider stance isn't worth 25k+ more. Basesquatch is still the wave.

would have liked to see more girth in the body panels and less tacked on flares...

I'm sure I'll have engine envy with whatever they stuff in there, but other than that, ehh. I know Ford had a tall order improving the pretty-damn-good look of the regular Bronco on 35s, but those fender flares look terrible.

Anyone hear when ordering opens up

I want one, but i am not a player at above MSRP which means I am out.

what's up with those little bottom pieces below the modular bumper wings?

They protect the shocks from rocks.

those flares are just too big for my taste. The widebody fenders from RTR Fun-Runner at Sema looked way better to me.

It has to many doors

I was thinking the same thing. Nothing like ***X-TREME 4 WHEELIN'***' with your baby strapped in the back seat, right?

I agree...we live in a crazy time. You wonder if the push for electrification and other green tech is somehow pushing Ford away from the V8. The Raptor guys also asked for a V8, but ended up with a V6. In a previous life, I built some pretty fun/fast (and reliable) turbo cars. It will be interesting to see what can be done with our standard twin-turbo V6.

I think 25K more than a Base Bronco is probably about right... just not 25K above a Badlands or Wildtrak.

I don't know where some people are getting these crazy prices, MSRP is pretty easy to estimate based on the F150 Raptor and it's other models.

Agree. Something like this would have been so much better. I have been holding out for the Raptor, but I continue to be less and less interested.

available summer of 2022 ... not sure if this means order in summer of 2022 or available to purchase summer of 2022

At MSRP, I'd be interested. But I'm betting we'll see ADMs as high as $50K. Heck, even at MSRP, I expect it'll cost over $70K.
