Poll who wants the new Ford Bronco Raptor?

[Rough Rider]

I know one of the off road Ford Performance Engineers. Worked on the Raptors for the company and has worked on this one too. He off road races as well, so he knows what he is talking about and how to tune the vehicles. He has NEVER bought one of his Ford vehicles he has worked on as he always had a better option with his race vehicles for the fun.

He has unapologetically stated that he will be getting one of these any way he can even though his Employee Discount doesn't help with Raptor products.

Performance wise I don't need it but it intrigues me.

But it's about as ugly as you could make it. I wouldn't want it as my daily driver.

I’ll stay with my BadSas

I’m sure it is built to be punished but it’s an eyesore.

Hard pass on this bulging mass.

No, I just don’t like it. I love the F150 Raptor, but feel like they are off target of this one.

If anything, I’m glad I didn’t wait and my badlands will be here soon. I hope people love it and buy the crap out of it, but it won’t be me.

Not a chance you're alone, this is one of the most popular "unpopular opinions" on this site!

Edit: I actually think it looks fine. Most are overreacting because they thought they bought the big bad wolf 2 years ago and won't even see it before the Raptor takes the road. Some toxic combination of buyers remorse or being overshadowed is causing a lot of the nit picking.

I think the Bronco raptor looks very crowded on the outside. The galloping Bronco emblem by the trunk barely has any space, the side fenders pop out, the taillights are unique …. I’d choose my Bronco black diamond than the raptor. Sorry not sorry

Wow pretty Impressive new Bronco Raptor capabilities but doesn’t at the moment have me screaming to want one. And actually just reinforces how happy I am with my Hot Pepper Red Wildtrak. And damn for me thats a statement being I always get caught up in the moment to have the latest bad ass vehicle. Does it grow on me Everyone vote and let’s see if the Majority wins or not so much.

Fair enough, I do remember being blown away by the F150 Raptor when I first saw it in person. While the Bronco Raptor doesn't give me that same excitement, I don't think it' looks nearly as bad as many have said.

They'll sell plenty of these because the Raptor brand is pretty damn strong. Ford was early to this segment and there are plenty of blank check buyers who will love it. 70k entry doesn't seem so crazy but for a limited production vehicle like this that's where the bidding will begin.

I wouldn't consider it because of the added width. I liked my F150 Raptor except when it came to skinny lanes on roads or tight parking spaces.

Exactly, my bronco badlands non-sasquatch barely fits in my garage, the raptor version wouldn't fit.

 

[Allagash]

I'm with you. I think it's ugly and I'd never use it for what's it's built for living here in the North East. My Badlands / Sasquatch / Lux in Cactus Gray is going to look perfect once I install 37's, a small lift, and some tasteful mods. Only thing I want for is an 8cyl under the hood. The Raptor, nah. I'll pass.

 

[HeliPilot]

I’ll keep my OBX, if I need a Raptor it will be in F150 fashion.

 

[wrbix]

I guess FOMOCO got what they were aiming at.

…but 4door only. No thanks.

 

[DogHauler]

I'll probably see Jimmy Hoffa before I ever see one of these. Not interested.
