whats the cliff notes on this so I dont have to watch some stupid video?

Nice truck but not interested in 100+ minuets of you talking on YouTube videos telling your story.

 

[JohnnyBronco]

Not at all. I see the decals telling the world it's a Raptor trim.

Just meant that it will be good to see future comparisons with the Raptor truck, since the Bronco version is a little watered down performance-wise and looks awful.

Finally someone agrees with me

Please just give us a couple bullet points
• trade in the wildtrak?
• give you great price on the trade?
• markup paid on the bronco raptor?

like others, if it were a 2 min video I might watch for those answers, but I’m realizing I’ve already given you more of my life than you deserve with this post.. shame on me

I'm pretty sure it's been proven already that the Bronco is better at anything off-road related. It doesn't have as nice of a ride as the F-150 though. They definitely look better in person.

Looks exactly like mine! Congrats.

Interesting, I may have missed this. Is there already a video review showing the two?

With the shorter wheelbase and lower power I would imagine the Bronco with Raptor trim wouldn't quite have the pace of a Raptor in high speed off-road driving. Still fun for sure.

There's a good BRaptor review by Hagerty. Not a direct comparison but he calls it out as the most capable. Once the BRaptor gets going it's nice but the power deficit is noticable when starting off. Especially with the 37s compared to a regular Raptor F-150. When I took mine off-road I had an F-150 Raptor 37 with us. He got through everything but the length was tough up here in New England.

How much did you pay? I don't want to watch your 50min video.

I am sure it was under MSRP.

Ok thanks everyone for the support and funny comments.
The short story:
Dealer received Raptor Allocation due to a visa rewards contest.
Salesman sends me a video Monday Morning
I initially was not excited
Tuesday i decide to go look at it and end up trying to buy it but hell no 40k over
We haggle over the price we come to an agreement on way way lower ADM
FORD credit approves the deal but not the conditions I like
We leave and walk away 6 hours later Tuesday Evening saying NOPE
WEDNESDAY my finance guy calls and says come back
Wednesday afternoon we have a deal and they give me $3500 more for my trade Hot Pepper Red Wildtrak
Wednesday evening I drive her home

The Raptor really is better riding and handling than the Wildtrak and plenty of power and just bad ass. I am glad I did the deal even though I truly thought I would never sell my Bronco Wildtrak I waited for 17 months on. And I was not interested in the Raptor because last year at This time I didn’t want to start all over again and wait another year. I never planned On buying one being I was very happy with my Wildtrak it was a total FLUKE this played out and beyond believable.

Nope don’t get any money I am financially sufficient that’s why I kinda mouth off I don’t care

I'm financially sufficient also but I don't film myself buying a truck and say watch me trying to be cool. Great you got a Braptor I'm sure your mpmmy is proud of you

I think you could of handled it a bit different kudos for the cliff notes. I mean you are trying to promote your YouTube channel. This is a dedicated group of Bronco enthusiasts, most of us like to have conversations, but linking the way you did it is a bad taste to most. Save the click bait for the gen pop

I wish Ford would focus less on something to market bragging rights and more on a capable, dependable, good quality off-road vehicle.
