The new Ford Bronco comes in a variety of trim levels to suit the needs of enthusiasts at every level. At the top of the chain sits the Bronco Raptor, offering the classic and iconic 4x4 feel of the Bronco heritage combined with the high-performance “super truck” chops of Ford’s Raptor program. But is the Bronco Raptor really worth the extra $30,000?
In this episode, Matt compares the Bronco Raptor with the Wildtrak, its smaller, narrower, but highest-optioned counterpart. Comparing the two Bronco’s performance, suspension, drivetrain, interior luxuries, steering, and resale value, Matt offers his experiences in both owning a Bronco Raptor and how some of its features are too valuable to ignore.
But is it possible to build a Wildtrak or lower trim to the level of performance and luxury of a Bronco Raptor? Matt discusses the challenges of attempting this feat, and explains that no matter how much budget you set aside to build your Bronco, it may never truly be better than the Raptor platform.
Lastly, Matt offers a few questions to ask yourself before buying or building a Bronco, to really find out if modifying a standard Bronco such as a Wildrak, Badlands, or Outer Banks will suit your needs, or if you’ll be better off starting your Bronco adventure behind the wheel of Ford Performance’s most advanced SUV - the Bronco Raptor.
