Our New Ford Bronco Raptor - First Impressions!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ต.ค. 2022
- We sold our Ford Bronco Badlands, equipped with the Sasquatch package, because we hated it. The quality control issues from the factory were something we ultimately couldn't overlook, and the weaker steering and suspension weren't something we were willing to risk (especially with the number of breaks popping up online & in forums). However, we had really high hopes for the all new Ford Bronco, and we aren't willing to give up on it yet. So we've turned those hopes over to the new Bronco Raptor!
In order to get one as soon as possible, we bit the bullet and paid some guy $35K over MSRP for the one he just picked up from a dealer. With any luck, the Raptor will live up to what we always hoped the Ford Bronco could be!
Hope you all enjoy the video!

Can’t wait to see these Bronco Raptor videos! Bring on the Raptor vs 392 comparison!🎉
Hey Kevin I remember you kids anouncing you were homless, that you was camping on the trails, and eating mountain house, the money will come and go but memories are forever, your doing great 👍
Yeah but ya know .... Money is nice 👀
I really appreciate your content and willingness to pay more for us. Love the videos. I'm really excited for the lj to get finished too.
You two are truly blessed. We Enjoy your videos.
Kevin videos!!! These are great. I get the “ok, my wife said I have to do my part too and here it is” vibe in these. Surprisingly I really like them. Keep up the great content. I’m sure she’ll edit and make them awesome.
You didn't get invited with other influencers because you're not influencers, at least in my definition. And this is a compliment! 😁❤
So excited for the videos you guys are going to make with this. So happy for you guys
Once again what a great video guys love seeing all of the kids at home and Kevin always willing to pay attention to them 😅
Very happy for you all !!! You guys work so hard and it is awsome to see your success you deserve all you have and more!!! Big fan hope to meet you all one day!
I have never looked more forward to your next video then right now!!!😁
You folks just have it going! Love the channel.
That’s pretty awesome! I can’t wait till you start testing in the Raptor! This will be a great series!! Let goooooooooo!!! I’m still a Jeep guy 100%!!!
Baddest truck in the fleet hands down!!!
Victoria looks like a mini Brittany, not a bad thing. Bronco Raptor is a nice ride but I'm a Jeep guy and also a Longhorn fan! Go HORNS!! lol
got some good shots of her shoulder
Congratulations, you are a lucky guy!!! Will be following and watching your reviews!!!
Awesome Video Kevin, we just got our Bronco 2 days ago and we are very impressed with it... But we will have to see how it compares to our Eco Diesel JLU on 40's. Love the new Bronco Raptor !! Congrats you guys.
Congratulations on your new bronco can't wait to see it off road that bronco looks really nice just the way it's stands
Looking forward to where this build goes!
Man, that last shot of the 3 vehicles...Living your best lives!
Keven, the way you've been talking about the width of the BRaptor, you may just have to stick to the "Hummer Trails" to save the paint! 🤣👍
Good job Kevin! You have gotten much better at the solo video. I remember you saying you hated doing them alone.
I seen preview of you guys doing stuff.. can't wait for full videos 😍
Another amazing video! Thank you for the awesome content!
Happy for you two have a blast
Awesome video! Still waiting for my Badlands, kind of a bummer to see Raptors out already..but still thankful for your share.
I'm glad y'all are staying true to yourselves and going to do legitimate stress tests! That has been something that has been bothering me about other Bronco Raptor videos on TH-cam. I also was thinking about the Demon Child about half way through the video and was wondering when I would see it at the house! The 3 rigs look sick next to each other and I can't wait to see what y'all have in store for the new Plan B.
I love your Video guys! And i’m so excited to see you Braptor out there!
Love your no bs review
Good luck 🎉! Sounds like a good game plan for trying it out and content.
Hey kids..., the Bronco's (that) orange & subtle toned blue you would think it wouldn't work. But it's not bad! Sounds really solid & quieter too. We're looking forward to Kevin putting it through its paces & no doubt he'll want to challenge it more. And how about Brittany rock & rolling it too. Her input is just as professional as Kev's... Be safe out there kids...
wow you can't go wrong with any of those vehicles in your drive way. that the ultimate collection. 👌
Thanks Kevin for your honest review.
Massaging seats courtesy of the $35k markup 😂
stoked to see the crazy that’s gonna come out of this build! Let’s goooo
I’ve been waiting for this video!!
I say this every video.... i love your stuff, All Four of you guys have a great dynamic.....
"You don't feel other cars when you run them over". Great selling point. I haven't heard that expression since talking to tank drivers years ago, when I was in the Army. I do agree, for the price you paid for it, expectations are high. So, Good Luck with your Ford, I mean it this time.
Enjoyed the vid Kev. Can't wait for the expensive Bronco content.
Be interesting to see how long before you hate this one too. I remember when you got the badlands you had lots of good things to say about it then.
Yup, and the longer we owned it & more seat time we had, the more things we found we hated. You’ll just have to stay tuned to find out with us if this one flops like the other one or not.
junk vehicles that were rushed into production.
Try again…..this video was recorded before they took it off-roading. They think it’s awesome, you’ll see. But what then? U won’t believe them right? Lol
@@kylestone5118 True!!! Where in NM do you live brother???
@@jdsrcs8061 i wish i lived there lol. from michigan but drove out there in 2021 and loved it. awesome atmosphere in the southwest.
Thank you for your time.
Congrats on your new kid lol, it looks great byh the way, finally we are going to see a real test on the Bronco, can wait to see the video as always great work guys!
I'm glad you've decided to give us a no BS review. I got tired of reading all the Factory fluff.
Congrats on the new new. Glad to see the fleet (most of it) all together. Excited to see how it compares to the 392. Sorry you couldnt find a better deal in time for the fall season but im sure you guys will make it worth while as you always do. Good Job on the vlog Kev.
What 392?
@@nicholassbardella6045 I believe I heard them mention previously comparing this to a friend’s 392. Think it was in their previous video. Please, Correct me if I’m wrong. I may also be remembering a brief discussion I had with Brit at off-road expo recently.
10:33 That 392.
The money part sucks while your cutting the check but we both know this will pay huge dividends for your channel being early on real unbiased BRaptor content. Congrats on getting this to all line up in time man!
You guys are definitely 1st as far as independent car reviewers goes!!!!….awesome video!
Stay tuned for off road torture testing! 😁🤙
@@LiteBrite can’t wait!!!!!!!!
The ultimate driveway art. Wow.
All 3 together look so sick WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW !!!!!!!!!!!
I remember back in the 80's on I-15 was 55 MPH, I remembered that because I got a ticket right where you are at Point of the Mountain for doing 63 in a 55.
I live in Austin Tx and their is a Ford dealership called Mac Haik of George Town and they sell all their vehicles at MSRP Broncos and Raptors as well you just have to get one when they are on the lots because they sell fast . Go burnt Orange Long horns 🤘🏽all day !!! 😅
Very candid Kevin, I liked it.
Wheel weighs generally fall of when off roading, I usually install bead bags in the tire for balancing big tires use 2 bags per tire works well on 35” and up.
The only Bronco I have ever owned was the 71 1/2 cab with a stock 302 speed on the tree. Had Q Buckshot murder tires and I pulled out every kind of jeep on the road back in 76 - 79 that Bronco would like go anywhere and I never had to use my wench for myself. ALWAYS got me home even with a broken axle or universal joint at the front wheel. Even broke a rear axle at the outer bearing and didn't know it until the wheel and tire passed me when it suddenly slowed down. Just put the tire in the bed and locked in the front hubs and drove it back home with 3 tires on the ground lol.
Those were the days.
I had a 73 K5 Utility. Loved it too. I liked it when I take the top off a just ride along the back roads or drive 100 miles to Memphis TN. With the 37 tires and a 6 inch lift the speedometer was off a lot lol. It had pos traction front and rear. That was great for level ground muddy conditions but on a side slope not so much.
Had Z71's too but the K 5 was my favorite.
so true that you are the only person who can show us what this thing can really do and what it can not… there are no really test of this car and almost noone pushes the cars off road like you can !!!! you are really badasses guys… keep ripping those things !!! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Stay tuned for the off road content! 😁🤙
Can't wait to see it on the trails
"mexico" hahaha. i'm really excited for the braptor videos. my badlands gets born on 10-18 after a 342 day wait. can't wait to put it against the wranglers and see what really happens.
Great video guys
Looks frikin awesome
Great video thank you!
Heck ya @Kev. Can't wait to see you wheel that bad boy.
The tyre sidewall compliance is what helps you offroad... Having more compliant sidewalls means you can leave more air pressure in them, means more stability once the sidewall starts flexing etc. The sidewall and the air in the tyre act as springs working together... If one spring is too stiff, then it prevents the other spring from doing it's job... It's a bit of a compromise in terms of sidewall performance, because being close to maximum rating means you get best stiffness adjustability with air pressure, but , to some extent extra sidewall thickness helps, assuming that you're not too far out of the window in tyre pressure.
Nice video and congratulations. Appreciate your unbiased opinions, and we all know not everyone will agree with you. Waiting on my Bronco to ship so I can form my own opinion, but until then I will respect yours. Have fun. Thanks.
that dash is SO MUCH BETTER!
Right?! Night and day difference in feel and quality.
Well done video Kevin. I get your excitement but I think I share Brittany's opinion. I really don't like the Broncos in general but over $100K is madness.
I have a 18 jk 2 door willys 3 inch lift 34 inch KM3's 82000 miles and no vibration at 106 mph on the interstate ! love that solid live axle front end on the JK.
How do you feel about balance beads inside the wheels? Do they work?
Just a pointer....use the weighted beads inside the tires. I've used them once and always will now. It helps keep them balanced even if you get mud in the rims. Obviously if There's a ton of mud they'll still shake but I've had great experience with the weighted beads
Congrats guys! Try not to destroy it right away!
No promises, but we’ll try! 😁🤙
That's what I really like watching u guys ...of your true honest work..keep it up ..Kevin is right about Ford having their own trails to test out the Broncos and editing their videos.
Soon will find out about this Bronco Raptor could really do.
Not a big fan of IFS systems on a 4x4
@@angelogiannikos6657 you've seen people actually taking it to MOAB and other popular "jeep" trails right?!?
Was going to buy one of theses... Ended up getting a G-Class... Best choice I made... I feel you on the interior quality...
... can't wait for you to drive this Beast ...
Looks good! Raptor series Rocks! The V6 in Sports mode seems the best in traffic. 👍
I wish I could afford one but will have to watch you enjoy this one !
Man car and truck prices have gotten crazy. Even the MSRP is as much as I paid for my first house. It seems to me that across all manufacturers the over quality of vehicles has gone down.
I’m a Jeep and a Chevy guy, but that Bronco looks good. Cool video 👍❤️
Ya its freakin awesome !
Wow, top speeding it before the break in period is up!? You guys are wild! I just got a new toy last weekend and finally hit 500mi; been babying it this whole time 😅
We ain’t got time for that. 🤣
It looks great. I guess I have been lucky. My 2008 Rubicon and my 2021 Badlands don't have any wobble. I'm sure you guys will figure out what is causing the shake. Love it!
I can’t wait to see you guys put the Raptor Bronco through it’s paces. My dad has had both, the Jeep and Original Bronco. He always liked the Bronco better because of the 302 V8 that his Bronco had. He always said that he thought the Jeep was drastically under powered. And i would agree. Until Jeep came out with the 392. 😏 I have a 2011 Ford Raptor….6.2L V8. I just can’t see buying a “Raptor” anything without a V8. Specially for the price tag. But I seriously can’t wait to see how it does off-roading.
glad you're enjoying the Braptor, hopefully it was worth the money you paid. My 1 big fault that always catches my eye on these is the poorly designed fenders. It looks like they forgot how wide it was and just slapped some fender extensions on it last minute to make it legal.
So the raptor package should include ford offroad event.
If you look at the window sticker it should say on there.
But when you sign up (by vin) tell them your the orig purchaser.
I went to the race event.
It's was all paid. Killer hotel.
Nice meal. But it's an all day event.
Worth checking out.

Awesome video guys 😎
Stay blessed
I’m a hard core Chevy guy, but props to Ford on the new Bronco. Somebody with connections needs to give GM a strong push to produce a K5 Blazer with the styling of the 71-72 body style. BTW, I have a 85 K5 and a 71 Cheyenne pickup in my collection, along with my prized 67 Camaro and a 01 WS6 T/A with LS1 and 6 speed manual.
Chevy really missed the mark with the current Blazer. Nice fleet you got there. I am a proud owner of a 69 C-20.
I am an admitted Ford guy. But I am not either or, I like the Chevys too. I do wish that Chevy would have done a restyled K5. 1st Gen Blazers were very cool. My brother in law owns a newer Colorado diesel and loves it. They gotta come up with something.
I was so disappointed when Chevy finally brings back the Blazer and builds something to compete with the Kia Sorento. I would like to talk to the person that made that decision.
Thing's progress. Jeep needs this kind of competition
Nice truck can’t wait to see you BEAT ON IT
Excited to see what the BRaptor can do! Still on board for a Predator swap!
I wanted a f150 raptor since the first one I saw but could never afford one. I spent the summer building a 2017 F150. It was XL supercrew 5.0 when I started. Now it’s on kings methods 35s exhaust bumpers chase rack with spare carrier 8 KC gravity’s a few goodies under the hood leather seats with custom embroidery and a 13in t-style radio. I’m so glad I did a build instead of buying a raptor. Me and 2 friends had a blast doing it and other than parts it only cost a couple pizzas and a few 12pks. The best part is I did it. The only shop it saw was the tire shop to mount tires and an alignment
First thoughts of that shake at high speed is the Tow spec is out, but definitely a front end issue, alignment or balance of those tires.
Looks badass
It’s a beast
Part of me wants to tell you how crazy you are for what you paid. But if I had the money I would more than likely do the same thing.. I am happy for you guys looking forward to the content.
Love the raw realness of this video. I'm completely against fords since I've had nothing but issues with them (other then the 91 ford ranger 4cyl, that's the only one that kept going, but all real trucks have failed me from ford)... that being said... this does look pretty nice. Is it 100k nice, no I don't think so, but we will see what yall can do in her.
Love the video like always.. stay safe, and wheel on. -Preston
Great video.
Looking forward to seeing more of the Bronco and the test drive of a almost stock Raptor.
can't wait to see how you beat that bad boy up. love the color. looks more red on camera. God Bless all.
Hey Kevin, you didn't mention the Raptor at the Off-Road Ex in Pamona. I knew you were going to love it. I hope the trail test was as good as the road test. Totally looking forward to the next installment.
Love it. I'm sure the purchase will pay back in dividends.
Can’t wait to see all the work Chris and Bec will do. Plus Kevin’s epic driving and Britney‘s spotting capabilities. Perfect TEAM!
I always found it a lot of fun when I crossed the border from Utah to Mexico; Not just for unlimited kilometer speed but those border tacos are delicious. just don’t get kidnapped Kevin ;)
Lite Brite !!!!!!! ZFG Tuning is amazing. This shifting is sooooooo amazing. Talk to Adam
That 3.0 you can get 525 at the wheels!!!!
My 17’ Ford Raptor had a loose wire in the trailer plug.2 weeks at dealership to figure that out. Love Ford performance but assembly line needs improvement. I can’t wait for more from Brite on the Raptor Bronco. 😀
It's big, but you said you got it for Baja running not tight woods n rocks, enjoy! can't wait to see the build and road test!!!
You're the best! This is my obligatory comment to enhance your TH-cam algorithm performance.
Sooooooo glad it passed the strenuous door test! Nothing gets by Brittany!
Nothingggg! 🤣
