Ford Bronco Raptor vs. RAPTOR

[RaptorAddict1]

I'm here for it. This is wifey's next vehicle.

Same. My wife has always been a die hard Jeep owner and has a 19 Rubicon right now. But I'm hoping I can get her to make the switch in a couple of years to the Bronco Raptor.

How ridiculous do you think we can make a Raptor Bronco? New Raptor V8 - 10 speed trans - Torsen front - wide body w/marker lights - Fox live valve 5 link - on board generator w/ automatic open and close rear hatch - recaro seats

In all honesty how much different is it going to be compared to say a Badlands/Wildtrak mashup? I guess they're going to replace the 2.7 L with the 3.5? Add the Fox suspension? Throw some Raptor branding and call it a day?

Raptor is the offroad version of a street vehicle. A Raptor Bronco would be the offraod version of an offroad vehicle? There going to have a little bit more trouble separating a Rap Bronco from the other trims.

Offroad is such a vague term. Desert running and rock crawling are both off road. But are they the same?

From what I can tell and according to Motor Trend

Ford claims class-leading overall suspension travel of 8.7 inches front, 10.2 inches rear on the 33-inch tires. (Opting for the larger 35s adds 0.4 inch, but restricts jounce travel slightly.)

If the Bronco Raptor took travel to 13”-14” and increased HP significantly I think you’d be able to separate the trim

Not the same, but certainly similar. Jeep already did something similar with their Mojave Wrangler trim, similar to the Rubicon. Not saying the Raptor will have the same level of difference, but I think Jeep had a hard time selling the Mojave as particularly different. A Raptor Bronco will need to differentiate itself more from the other Bronco trims. Maybe a sturdy frame, more HP, and suspension will do it. Maybe they will need some visual differences too. I don't think that will work as well as it does on the F150 as people don't know the Bronco trims as well as the F150 trims just yet.

Can they fix the awful wind noise in the bronco?

The name Raptor alone will create +20k Markup haha

Isn’t that part of the “Baja Mode” to give it extra growl?

It’s funny cause the 3 marker lights in the grill are more similar to the Gen 1 and 2 raptor than the Gen 3. Guess Ford isn’t using the F-22 as a starting point for designing all their vehicles…
