So true. It all depends on what you wanted. Rember, this is a Raptor folks, not a regular Bronco. I love my Outer Banks with the 2.3 liter turbo. It's just what I wanted. And yes, it kills off-road in southern Oregon.

So in other words you aren't selling because of any inherent flaws, you're selling because of your own specific needs that do not apply to anybody else who isn't a KZreadr wanting a more flashy car to show off on the internet. The unreliability spoof was fake, and the only applicable downsides you mentioned were its size and mpg which is readily available info online.

Sounds like they a mainly selling it because it get Bad Gas Mileage and IT IS TO RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE TO RISK ACTUALLY USING IT OFF ROAD , like you should use a off road vehicle. Which kind of makes it worthless except for Poser Boys that want to drive it to starbucks and their local dive bar.

So if you use it 99.9% of the time for just hauling stuff around, perhaps an Ideal solution would be the exact opposite in the fuel mileage spectrum. One of those little import micro trucks.

I had several small pickups of years ago. I owned a 1978 Toyota Longbed Hilux model which was the bottom model. I paid $5400 for it, no air, no power windows, vinyl seats, etc. It was good to about 150,000 miles and just was falling apart. My best truck I owned was a Ford 1989 Ranger again a stripped model, and paid $7200 for it out the door. I got 267,000 miles out of it before it wore out and would not pass inspection. It was a wonderful truck with 5 speed stick on the floor. Today you cannot buy a basic truck anymore, and the Ford Ranger now has blown up to be a four door which I would not own. I want a truck for hauling with truck cab, not to be used as a family car. Again, you cannot get it with roll up windows, vinyl floor mats and seats. No, they have add a lot of high tech stuff which I do not want.

My nephew has one of these…he says he gets 9 mpg….gas hogs

You're not the right owners for it anyway. That thing needs to be driven HARD to get the value out of it. 27,000 miles on mine in 5 states, 2 countries, and countless feet of airtime. Never skips a beat, AND it's my only car/daily driver.

My 21 wasn’t even a year old and the top and transmission (manual) were replaced….. didn’t want to own it after warranty expired….. frightening the cost to repair cars nowadays….. that and with premium at 10$ Canadian per gallon….. it costs $ 1.00 Canadian to go 1.33 Kilometres (just short of a mile)

I traded my Audi in a few years ago and said I'd never have another vehicle that took premium gas. It used to be like 20 or 25 cents more a gallon and now it's three times that.

The wildtrak is a nice bronco. Good suspension, not nearly as wide, and comes with the 2.7 ecoboost that still has lots of power and pushes 17 to 20 mpg.

If the Raptor is overkill, then just go for a lower trim Bronco (better fuel economy, same dimensions on the inside, not as wide on the outside, and unlike the Raptor: available with manual transmission).

Typically if you have a purpose for any vehicle , no matter what you pay it won’t be worth the cost……a Bronco Raptor is a specialty rig ….ya either use it for hat it’s built for and risk damaging it, or drive it occasionally and keep as an icon of sorts ….show piece just to have one in a sense …..keep it long enough and it’ll probably go up in value…

I noticed in the video you have different wheels and tires, what size are the tires? And what is the back spacing of the wheels? Thanks for the video👍👍👍👍👍

Great, honest appraisal, Brad. The price and cost of ownership of these performance vehicles is wayyyy beyond the means of most of us. They will join the legions of EV’s collecting dust in the showrooms.

I think a Badlands with e-locker in the rear and slight upgrade on the tires would work pretty good. And seems like I have built one on Ford's website for around $40k.

I bet the shiny new thing they will get next will be a Tesla Cyber Truck. It's what all the young you tubers are getting, don't be left out!

How is it for just everyday daily driving? I'm looking at the Bronco Raptor hard as a do everything daily driver. And a forever vehicle.

Having said that, the original pric3e of the H1 was 120k in 2001 and that truck is now worth over 200k. The Raptor was 100k, let's see what it will be worth in 20 years.

Done with Ford after 40yrs. 5.4Triton did me in. Engineers are off the rails. Nice old Cummins for me, 26MPG and 715 miles a tank.

I bought a 2-door Wildtrak and it does 75% Of what the Braptor does for about $40k less. Of course I did the tune for more power, better wheels and tires and a couple minor suspension tweaks, still saved $40k.

It's a definitely a sick truck, but the cost is outrageous. House of cards.

I honestly love explaining the business and financial part of this. It could make sense if I can justify it for other means if I ever get one of these lol. God Im getting old lmao.

Heavy vehicles have a Section 179 deduction cap of $30,500 in 2024. Let us say you finance a $50,000 heavy SUV and use it 100% for your small business. You could deduct $30,500 under Section 179. A regular depreciation percentage applies sometimes, but only a tax professional can confirm this.

This Bronco Raptor is like no other...Period..Go FORD!

They have been having problems with the bronco since they rolled of the assembly line at Michigan Truck…I think it’s time to do a change in the engineering management team for the Bronco

I followed someone this winter in one of these down a snow-covered and rutted US40 just west of Denver. The driver had ZERO idea how to drive their truck. Was driving in both lanes, sometimes going sideways, sometimes almost hitting the guardrail. At one point, it looked like he might flip it, blocking both lanes. Obviously, someone with more $$$$ than experience 🙄 They really had no idea how to drive those 35s in the 3 ft of snow. The road was unplowed, and I-70 was closed due to wrecks, stalls, and also being unplowed (the storm blew in quickly, and forecast was for a couple inches). Watching them was reminiscent of a Suzuki SideKick, but the Suzuki was $15k tricked out, not $100k😊

Maybe you ought to have purchased another vehicle. See if a Hummer does any better. The Rockefeller’s love their Bronco. Me? I used to own two different Broncos YEARS AGO. One an Eddie Bauer Edition. They were great vehicles I cannot afford the Rockefeller Edition. Enjoy your ride.

Many of your points are why so few people in Hermosillo Mexico drive the Broncos despite being made there.. for me the ridiculous vehicle width is only emphasized to even higher insult by the fender extension stupidity that looks like something from eBay or AutoZone that you would stick on your Toyota Tercel to make it look badass.. which can't be done. Ford should sell the black fender plastic to Prius owners so two vehicles look as silly

Daily drives the vehicle, hardly takes off-road, buys to establish credit/look cool/review, and complains about how doesn't make sense...I'd recommend a Toyota Highlander!

Your next vehicle should be a Land Cruiser 200, best vehicle I have ever owned hands down

How much did you pay for it

I'm sorry. That sound of a six cylinder just doesn't get it. Wow. My stroked Big Block 440, with a Six Pack, in my '74 Dodge Power Wagon, makes more horsepower (right at 600) and gets better gas mileage (if I keep it off the outboard carbs) than that thing. And it sounds way better. 0 to 60 in 4.7 seconds. And it cost me $4780 when I bought it brand new in December 1973. Was that Fargo Canyon in the Coachella Valley?

I like owning my home. I don't need an overpriced Bling truck , when I can pay off the house instead . You could build your Beastie for much less and not cry when you break it. No Thanks . Even cheaper used you have breakdowns and Maint.

We will eventually look like Cuba with old cars being on the streets much longer and newer cars being a much lower percentage of the vehicles on our roads.

Man, if only you had something with the same capabilities, at least as fast, that you didn't have to worry about scratching and didn't suck gas. Also would be nice if it had a bed. Oh and was bulletproof, why not. Well, I guess that's just a fantasy truck that doesn't exist.

at least the tie rods did not bend..... yet... snapper?

4Runner

Again, I ask: why not put a V8 engine with twin turbos?

That tax deduction, you're gonna have to take a L back from the IRS....

My best friend bought a Bronco raptor a year ago and I bought a Rubicon 392 , both great cars I think but if you are looking for power and a real beast a 392 will fill both . Bronco Raptor has great tech and a twin turbo but not even with that beats a Rubicon 392. My friend sold his Bronco after 3 months and is now part of the Rubicon 392 family.

@@Ken-qq6gp A 4 is a 4 just like a 6 a 6 or 8 an 8 regardless of it's cylinder configuration, but when you're going to comment about perceived problems of a vehicle it helps people take you seriously if you at least know the basics like for example how extraordinarily uncommon a "V4" engine configuration is comparatively to the wide spread use of the I4 configuration. Secondly, this is a performance vehicle, people who spend the money to own and drive one of these likely have very little concern about the fact that it requires premium fuel. That's like someone buying a Ferrari and then bitching because it has to have 93 octane. If your biggest concern is fuel mileage and octane requirement than the chances are the Bronco Raptor isn't very high on your list to begin with. There are plenty of more mild mannered vehicles out there both turbo and naturally aspirated that will operate just fine on regular 87 octane and get better mileage thus suiting your needs better.

If you plan to haul, you need a truck, WITH A BED, to actually you know, haul things. I sold my Harley F150 for the opposite. I don't haul things anymore, and I wanted to go off-road. So I did not buy a BRaptor, I bought a BAdlands and built it out to what can easily compete with any raptor. Also ANY Bronco or Truck or Jeep running on 35's 37's 40s....well yeah your not going to get MPG from it. If you want a MPG machine, then it will not be a very capable hauler.
