Has the BRaptor raced any of the events yet? I think I’d as laymen could have a great time with any of these. Just knowing vehicle and personal limitations is important along with a satellite phone if going out alone

It's funny, I never wanted the Black Diamond. It just never appealed to me, but I'm more a boulder and mud kinda guy.These Broncos are all really capable right off the lot, no matter which trim level you start with. Only a few are going to get to the capabilities of the vehicle. The rest of us are just driving them because we like the look and performance/manners on the road….AND it is not a Jeep
If I were smart, I’d just throw the Ford Performance Lift on my Black Diamond with 35s and call it good. Once I break something or get into a spot where I really needed something, then I upgrade. BUT…..I’m not that smart
You are right, stock Badsquatch isn't a 95 Jeep Rio Grande that's for sure. They're all so fancy these days, it's hard to remember we only really need 4x4 and a gas pedal to have a good time.
That would be a Sweet Ride and a lot of history to go with it. I ready an article years back that it was bought at an auction and the new owner is ripping it up in the desert in itIf I lived in the Desert Southwest, the Wildtrack would be my choice especially a 2D in White so I could make it look like this one

Actually, I pick to build my own in your poll
The Raptor and Braptor turn me off due to my aversion to 4 Doors. At least the Bronco R doesn’t look like a Braptor

If I got $1k every time I said this to my salesman over that 18 months, I wouldn't have needed finance.

The Black Diamond is the perfect mix of everything I think. MGV Interior with rubber floors. 4.46 gears in non-SAS with locking rear dif standard. If they sold the non-SAS with a front locker, I wouldn’t move off of it. Especially since I have 33s on it now.

No Problems. All’s good. Mine is a East Coast Beach Bronco so I did even waste my money on going SAS
Do you have yours yet? What did you go with?

Thanks for the grace man. I worry about not earning my truck. She's got a lot in her, I only feel like the caretaker of that spirit.
She prolly ain't happy I'm eyeing those KOH's either.
Just kidding. I couldn't afford one anyhow.

The problem I have is, I kept racking my brain why I needed a "media head" and "GOAT mode' and all the rest. The other two 4x4's I had were brutes, to say the least, in ever respect. I get older, I get the comfort, but that Badsquatch really fits me well. Not that I didn't want the BD, but I never wanted anything but my Badsquatch.The Black Diamond is the perfect mix of everything I think. MGV Interior with rubber floors. 4.46 gears in non-SAS with locking rear dif standard. If they sold the non-SAS with a front locker, I wouldn’t move off of it. Especially since I have 33s on it now.

I get it. I wasn’t worried about the staybar disconnect or above the mid interior package, but liked the MGV seats and rubber floor. I just hope I don’t regret going to the Wildtrak. Only two options on it, leather interior and tubular steps.
I didn’t order it, it is dealer stock. I canceled my order for the $2,500 rebate, but that is a whole other story as Ford is failing miserably for giving me the $2,500 rebate off a lot.
I would like to see a side by side of KOH, Wildtrak and BRaptor. Just to see where everything falls.

All in my Sig line though I do wish my dealer hadn’t forgotten the Aux Switches.
Only real upgrade was my darling 17yo daughter buying some Outer Banks takeoffs because she didn’t want me replacing the 16” Steelies with some “old man mag wheels”. Since I’m letting her drive the Bronco to school, I gave in and could be more proud of her especially she loves shifting “her” MT

That would be awesome.
So far, 55 votes (45% would go Braptor). Not bad for a straw poll on a Sunday.
