The Braptor in person is definitely different than the other Broncos out there, but I'd choose the real Raptor over the Bronco every time. At least for 2024 it looks like they are painting the flares.

I agree. They should have taken the same approach that they did with the Raptor and gone with wider fiberglass instead.
They did add a little to the fenders but not enough i guess. I have seen a few in person. If i bought one, I would immediatly be looking for a alternative to those terrible rear fenders.

Greetings! There's a compelling reason a Bronco Raptor costs $10,000 more than a Raptor both at their BASE MSRP. Which would you choose?
What is the compelling reason? Are we supposed to guess? I would choose a real Raptor at any price. I wouldn't drive a Bronco if you gave me one. Life is too short and cars too plentiful to drive something you don't like.

I feel you there but not at any price, though. I'm allergic to ADMs.

Now come on bruh...for real. If you were handed the keys to a Bronco or Braptor... I'd say "man give me dem damn keys and git on from round here" LOL

IMO Ford did a great job with the regular Bronco. We factory ordered a Badlands Sas but Ford changed the order without telling us. Oh well, I’ll find some take offs and lift it to clear the 35s.

I like the 2.7 and I wish the Raptor had the wash out floors. I don’t like the gauge cluster but the 12” screen is amazing. Overall the wife loves it.

My neighbour’s new Rubicon - few design details taken from Bronco. The modular bumper and stock 35s.

When you drive the Bronco it turns a lot of heads. I still love my Raptor tho - makes you feel like king of the road. At least at Starbucks it does lol

Our Badlands…

We bought a Land Rover Defender instead....

Unmatched and same price. And we got a unlimited mileage 5 year bumper to bumper form Land Rover which is also unheard of... since they are tight butt tea sipper pinky finger up types.

IMO a more accurate comparison in this market would be a Braptor to a Raptor R in regards of scarcity and dumb pricing. As for your question, the Braptor fenders are 100% a deal breaker would never buy one. If you gave me one for free I’d immediately sell it. Think it looks terrible and would much prefer a lower tiered Bronco.
