The people that get to test these vehicles and drive the crap out of them have an awesome job…
I agree, sign me up... man it looks like the raptor would barely fit in a traditional garage (height wise).

I don't think anyone caught this but the Warthog has a valved exhaust like its big brother (Raptor). There are 3 pipes coming out of the muffler. Why would you need 3? There are 3 because 1 is a straight through pipe. The other 2 behave like a regular muffled exhaust. See pic below.

The valved ehaust in the GEN3 Raptor is simply incredible. It has 4 modes (quiet, normal, sport and Baja). Give it the beans in Baja and it sounds like a GTR.

no amount of valving is going to make an ecoboost sound good.

This thing is going to be ludicrously expensive and cartoonishly massive, I want it. But I want my Sasquatch more than this thing, hands down.

It's like they decided that since it's going to use the raptor name, it must also have the three extra amber lights as part of the signiture look. And if it has the lights, it must actually be 80 inches wide so that it becomes a legal requirement. (wouldn't want to be a poser). And so the big idea was to slap a couple of surfboards on each side as fender flares. It's less bird of prey or warthog looking and more... It's like a stanced jdm thingy mated with a huge turtle.
Or the Bronco needs high-clearance fenders and longer A-arms to clear 37" tires.

We saw how the 4WP lift rubs with 37's. Even if the adjustable coil overs could raise the truck higher, it might be too much of an angle for the CV joints at resting height to keep from destroying them every 6k miles.

I'm still holding out hope 37's will work without going wider than Sasquatch. Hopefully just need coil overs and high clearance fenders.

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



no I have a coyote in my garage that makes real sounds. I also owned a 3.5 F150 yeah not the same stupid exhaust it sounds like crap.

I’m probably in the minority, but the more I see of the Bronco Raptor, the less interested I am.
I was with you up to this video…. On this dynamic clip, where you don’t stare in on a single wart, it looks wide, but not clownish like in some of the still shots! I may be back in!
Reality is though, I really need a towing SUV and I will just have to drool on this for gearhead porn.

It appears the tie rod is rubbing on shock absorber… :/

Why would they allow BN to show that?

also shows how technically illiterate BN is in that they couldn’t recognize to leave that out…

Looks like they are still working out the geometry, or need to.

I noticed the shock/tie rod rubbing too; that's why it's still camo'd, work in progress.

It's going to be amazing when Ford officially reveals this beast. Yeehaw!
