Bronco Raptor

[fordfreek]

Based on what others have been wanting (warthog), that wouldn’t make sense either.

What would you suggest for the name?

Don't really have a suggestion for a name and after reading the explanation for calling it bronco raptor it makes sense i guess. My knee jerk reaction was that they were taking away from the f150 raptor.

I feel like they’re cheapening and narrowing the brand. But it takes creativity and competence in the marketing department to broaden the brand and generate actual cachet. Bronco Warthog edition would have worked for me. I feel like they took the easy way out. But given what I’ve seen over the last two years, this is their best work. Ford still makes good trucks for now, but if they don’t get their stuff together, that won’t last. They’re blowing it on all fronts right now.

FYI .. The Bronco Raptor is running F150 bolt pattern. Test mules for the last 2-3 years was always running Raptor GEN2 and GEN3 wheels and now it is confirmed that it is indeed 6x135.

So will we have to address our trucks officially as an F-150 Raptor now?

After thinking about it and I understand Ford wants to use Raptor as it’s hi-po off-road branding/trim model. But Bronco Raptor. Is it a Horse or a Dinosaur? Or now it’s both? This aspect of the name doesn’t gel well.

Cool SUV just the same. Good luck landing one.

This was posted on my new Bronco Raptor Forum. Suggesting to call them FRaptor(F-150 Raptor) and BRaptor(Bronco Raptor). What do you think?

Are you talking about blowing it all fronts due to naming it Raptor and not something else, or with all the delay issues they are having?

No, calling a Bronco a Raptor is just one front. That's the lazy way out front. "Hey guys, we got this Raptor label that kinda means premium highpo, let's slap it on our premium highpo Bronco." Really? That's the best they could do? The intro of the Bronco was a Charlie Foxtrot and the intro of gen 3 was like an afterbirth, I mean an afterthought. Halfassed would be too complimentary. Watching from the shore, FMC appears to be a rudderless ship. I hope I'm wrong, but there seems to be no one at the helm.

First off, can you bring back that Snoop Dog emoji with him with his hand over his head? Lol

I think those names equal the F-150 fake Raptor conversion right? And the Braptor was the brodozer version like they do a lot of down in my area. Now if we could convince the internet of the new renaming convention, this could possibly work as you are suggesting

LOL....so I text my wife and said she needed to get the Bronco next. Now, she is on her 5th Jeep Wrangler. She replied "Hell NO! It's like a little bus that never grew up." HAHA I said...but the Raptor Bronco is baddass. She said...."so a stunted school bus with bigger tires...no dude." HAHA
