Agreed. The Raptor would look much different and way less appealing if Ford put 8” flares on regular F150 fenders.I don't feel like they bumped out the fenders/quarters like they did on the Raptor F150s. So they relied on the flares to take up the slack. Big miss.
Ford should have spent the time designing fiberglass fenders that gave the Bronco Raptor the same presence as the original Raptor.
