Not to be confused with section 3.1, no tire shine.

I am in the same situation. Have the black f150 raptor and a bronco raptor on order. Was going to cancel but would love to hear your thoughts. If you only could have 1 what would you choose?

Hey RaptorGunner, man that’s a really tough question. My initial response would be what your use it for and specifically if you need the bed for gear, etc… as the F150 has so much more overall space.

The Bronco is definitely more fun and feels more nimble. I think the exterior styling sets it apart from the regular Bronco and it just looks like a beast in person with the factory height and wider wheelbase. It def turns a lot of heads for sure.

However, the F150 Raptor is definitely more comfortable to drive, offers more storage, and the extra juice of the 3.5L is very noticeable. It also has a MUCH more aggressive exhaust note as an added plus.

I have not had a chance to push these off-road as I just got both of them in the last couple weeks, but I did do the Bronco Off-Rodeo and it’s absolutely incredible what a Bronco can do (I drove a Badlands) on rocks and trails. I did hit a dirt road in the Bronco and got up to about 70 MPH and was shocked how comfortable and in control it felt with the wider track width vs my previous regular Bronco.

All in all, I would say pick the Bronco Raptor if more of your time is off pavement and/or you wheel more technical trails/rocks, but pick the F150 if this is your everyday vehicle, high speed off road, and offers better overall comfort behind the wheel. Both are truly an awesome experience so you can’t go wrong either way!
