I mean that's true but the Raptor still denotes the performance package it comes with. With the Ranger Raptor coming out it was just a matter of time before existing F150 Raptor owners were going to have to differentiate. In all honesty I'm still going to refer to my Bronco Raptor as just a "Bronco".
From a pure marketing standpoint Ford had to go with Raptor. But Warthog made for a great development name.
I think they had to put the lights on it because of its size. I think I read that somewhere.
THIS. This is exactly what i thought of when I first heard the warthog name, and why I was so excited for it. Don't get me wrong, I love the A10, but I'm sure there's plenty of people out there who they want to market Broncos to that have spent hours driving a virtual Hog at some point in the last 20 years. The number of people who'd order Eruption Green and slap a ton of UNSC stickers on is probably somewhere between 99-100%. And although I don't like the gimmicky tie-ins between games/movies and vehicles (excluding a Bullitt Mustang), they could have easily done a Halo Edition. I wouldn't like it, but Halo Infinite just released and they could ride a tidal wave of hype and interest. Jeep got away with doing a COD-edition Wrangler...That article was incorrect. The Warthog name came from the vehicle in Halo. If you don't know what that is then you're old. Go back to playing checkers.
I do like the name…but the vadge badge - I can’t unsee what I see!
hmm. Little too late for that… good luck with those stickersI do like the name…but the vadge badge - I can’t unsee what I see!
I’m putting on the broncodepot script “classic emblem” in place of the Badlands patches.
I know it’s a Badlands and that’s all that’s important to me. Savvy Bronco people will easily spot it for what it is as well. That’s my point - a name’s a name, and once it’s associated to the features the name loses its importance.
Sounds like you are willing to spend $$$ to upgrade to a BL just for the name - if that’s all it takes, save your money, buy a base and I’ll sell you my Badlands badges for…only half the difference in the upgrade!
After all this discussion, I’ll always think of it as a Warthog, and refer to it that way. Ford can call it what it wants!
Looking good. Nice Warthog you have there!hmm. Little too late for that… good luck with those stickers
I ultimately agree. but it will not stop me from buying one!!!!! Everything else about it is bad freaking ass!!!!!!! I am hoping someone will make something aftermarket to keep the DOT lights, keep the headlights, etc. but change to the BRONCO lettering.
