Video: 2022 Bronco Raptor Off-Roading, Side-by-Side vs Standard (Outer Banks) Bronco, and Rear End Undercarriage

[SoCalDawg]

why do people keep comparing a 6 to an 8 cylinder? why stop at 8? let's compare it to a 10 and 12 also? Does that make any sense?

BTW .. I also own a 2019 Raptor and a 2018 Lariat and I agree the exhaust is NOT good. BUT The gen3 Raptor is completely different.

Please go test drive the new raptor. It has more than a valved exhaust. The exhaust is completely new from the cat back

Watch this video from a guy who owns a few cars

For me it’s sound. Does that Gen3 have piped in sound? Either way. The sound of a turbo whistle isn’t the grunt I prefer. I just test drove a 2.7 Bronco BL and the sound really threw me off. I know I’m old school… but I was in this rugged off-road MACHINE .. and it was whistling. Just weird to me personally

How much is it going to be able to tow?

it is not made to tow so I doubt it will be over 3500.

I'm going to speculate that it will have a Higher Tow Rating.......
Especially if it has the electronically adjustable shocks..... just saying....

Raptor has Live shocks and it tows 8400. F150 tows 11000 pounds without lives shocks.

Three camps. Third is I just think it is stupid. No offense to others that think they are cool. I just don't see how they make any sense.

I am with you in the third group. With the size and width this is to big for most trails leaving more open desert or Dunes. With what this would be good at the Raptor or TRX would be better with a lower center of gravity. The upside to the Bronco over the jeep was daily driving. I would hate to have to drive this anywhere or let alone park it. The sound and the video was disappointing. It should have been able to nail through the whoops but I think the badlands could easily go faster than he did.

Honestly the only appealing thing to me are the headlights and tails. The super extreme shocks and suspension are overkill for my use, and the 4 door aesthetic as well as the whistling engine sound just don't do anything for me.

You can hear that turbo whistling I wish mine would do that

whistling? that would be pre-fix OBX grill, lol

That's like me saying that since I don't go rock crawling I don't think any Bronco should have a sway bar disconnect. There is more than one type of off roading. The Raptor's primary purpose is high speed desert like you find in the Nevada, California, Arizona, and Baja. Just because you don't participate in a specific type of off roading doesn't mean it doesn't make sense.

Prior to the Raptor being announced my plan was to get a Badlands and get aftermarket long travel for it. Now I don't have to do that. I can purchase a Raptor and it will handle the majority of the areas I off road.

(fixed it for you)

My point was that is has been widely accepted that the rear suspension (shocks & springs) of the Bronco was the "main" reason for the 3500 Max Tow Rating. Now with Adjustable (Live Shocks), with a flip of the switch so to speak, the rear shocks could be set to a much stiffer setting. Doing so, "should" allow for a higher Tow Rating on a Bronco Raptor.

I’m probably in the minority, but the more I see of the Bronco Raptor, the less interested I am.

Especially once you see the price!

 

[calgecko]

makes the OBX look like a Bronco Sport in comparison

It sounds horrible!

The tow will likely be less. The long travel suspension is not good for towing. The tow rating on the F150 Raptor is significantly lower than the regular F150.

 

[the poacher]

No thanks. I will stick with my badlands as in B.C. we need more crawling then high speed desert or mall driving. Considering the added cost for a raptor version, definitely a no go for me.

Sounds pretty bad. Just very weird sound. Still looks cool. Just expect a beefier sound. But who am I kidding. In 10 years, every car will be electric.
