I found myself in the a bit of a bind. 3/21 reservation holder, finally have my Wildtrak built on 1/12/23, had a lead on a Bronco Raptor ‘23 w/ ADM for $106k. Decided to go with the Wildtrak, it has the HOSS 3.0 and almost loaded for $58,700. I’ll change the fenders to get 37” and couple of other upgrades and will stay under $70k.
I think when you consider the frame is reinforced, front and rear axles and diffs are heavier duty, heavier tie rods, the suspension is considerably more advanced with much more travel, which couldn’t even be duplicated on a regular Bronco without heavy modification to the frame. The 3.0 engine is a “Ford Performance” product which has much more difference from the 2.7 than the slightly larger displacement. The Braptors interior is better, especially the seats, which are in a totally different class. Something I’ve never heard mentioned. Resale value. I believe the low numbers of BRaptor production puts it in the “collectible” category. The extra money over a regular Bronco is money in the bank down the road IMO. Yes I’m talking my own book, but honestly I have one on order only because I want to have fun with it. Build week is 2/13 on an Iconic Silver one. Just one guy’s opinion.
I will buy it at MSRP but Ford has made this such an disaster and only available who can pay in cash 40+ over MSRP. This is on Ford and their business model, Farley better watch out my loyalty is changing... If they don't switch to a showroom model like Tesla I'm out, dealerships need to go extinct!
Fantastic job ordering your Bronco. Great color and the technology Ford included. It appears the Bronco Raptor is not only a beautiful ride, but a decent investment. At some larger automotive auctions. I was blown away seeing the Bronco Raptor bring just below $200,000. Thanks for the ride along
I have to leave a little bit of a silly comment. The fact that you turn the muffler sound down when you go through your neighborhood is just super cool. You seem like a really nice guy that's respectful of other people. I just thought that was so nice!! The rest of the video is awesome too. I give it a double thumbs up 👍 👍
The 3.0 block is graphite iron .. 70% stronger than aluminum and 70% lighter than cast iron. Add to that the Ford Performance race grade internals and I believe 500 hp and torque will be a slam dunk. Personally, I’m waiting for others to do the leg work on it. As of yet the PCM hasn’t been cracked so tunes are just piggy back. Im planning on enjoying mine stock when I get it unless it starts to bore me. 😂
@@rinaldocatria4386 Same engine as the Explorer ST, so the PCM is definitely cracked already. 418HP/440TQ @the crank. A tune will probably bring those numbers close to 450WHP
@@DalHarpJr not according to tuners on TH-cam. It has a different PCM than used in the explorer ST. The base engine is the same … that’s it. But from what Ford engineers stated early in, the turbos and exhaust system in the Braptor are entirely different.
Just be happy an Ice engine especially the 3.0 Ecoboost comes in the Bronco Raptor. On TFLCar I watched a tuned 3.0 Explorer ST run 8.08 1/8 mile passes against a Dodge SRT's 8.48
That's a nice truck but it's nowhere near worth more than what I paid for my house... I just wonder what everyone does for a living to afford such toys, not everybody can be a doctor or a lawyer....
If you paid less than this for your house it may be related to where you live and cost of living differences. You can't buy a house here at all for twice what this Bronco cost. Not even triple
@@427cidpower Where do you live? I can't purchase a teardown for that price. These vehicles are bringing over $100,000 at major auctions with one I watched sell for just under $200,000. It's a better investment vehicle than a C8 plus a Hell of a lot of fun for daily use or off roading.
The "easter eggs" hidden on the broncos are cool. The inner fender is stamped "Lift me Baby!" 😂

Just got mine in this color! Loving it!🎉

Awesome pickup, love the color. Looks like a awesome suspension setup the have.
Does it do a 13.9 like your JB4 Tuned Wildtrack?
The Goonsquad boys picked-up one that had been in an accident and are fixing it on their channel. Pretty decent ride.
I'm getting ready to an order in for a Bronco Raptor. I'm still on the fence on what color I like best. Great review!
black
Real estate would be a better investment
@Mickey Barton true, but it's not a Bronco Raptor. I just paid off my house and I'm gonna treat myself.
@@Billywagner22 congrats
I wanna turbo upgrade my bronco raptor but I’m not sure what’s 3.0 ecoboost whp limitation

@@rinaldocatria4386 Yeah, the turbo’s are slightly bigger. But we’ll see what happens when he starts tuning this Braptor..
Forgot to mention the $50k markup, if you can find one.
Now they just need to offer the Raptor R or predator as an engine option. C'mon Ford!
I wish!!

No. No it was not.
