What Should I Do? Raptor vs Heritage

[7sKnuckledragger]

OP,
What are you going to use the bronco for? I will say the short wheelbase is amazing (100.3”) is damn near ideal for rock crawling and technical trails but a manual. I’ve been wheeling for a decade in my manual Jeeps and almost every trip I wish I had an auto. Like the boys say “manuals for show autos for go”
The raptors an absolute beast. If you wanna go fast in the desert and do some trails it’s good as it gets. I’ve seen a few on the trails and they are so big it is a hindrance (length and especially width)
If you’re just street driving the longer wheelbase and room for more activities will be nice but in town the short wheelbase zips around like a go cart and fits in any parking spot. Create a pro v con board, grab a favorite beverage and get to work. Both are cool I feel very lucky as I’ve got my “MoAr DoOr” bronco but I’ve also got a two door (street legal) rock crawler (with a 5 speed). Good luck and

Raptor all day. They are very hard to get, my dealer had 1 allocation this year. Keep the raptor especially if you didn't pay 20-30 over ADM.

What for real you will be doing with the vehicle seems a key, in order to help decide? Otherwise talk of HOSS 3 or some other stuff is academic. It's like telling someone to buy an I9 cpu 32gb PC, when all they do is check email and surf the web.

Since you asked: you've lost your mind. I get there are certain aspects of wanting Manual or 2-Door (or both in this case) but other than that there's nothing really special about the Heritage other than being an appearance package.

Going from 3.0 to 2.3 and losing Lux, Raptor Digital Dash much less Raptor suspension and seats would be an absolute no for me.

This.

Also what are you going to use it for? The Raptor will have it all. Also, you already started modding it.. The Heritage while cool, is not on its level. Perhaps if it was a heritage limited, maybe.

Ha, love it, especially being a Mathematician!

Seems plausible to mention the 2 door in response to a conversation comparing a 2 door and a 4 door.

Honestly, I would do Heritage. There are some cool things that come on the raptor as well as performance but I just think they look hideous with the flares and 4 doors. Hope that doesn't offend anyone and if so.....grow some thicker skin.......

Didn't read the whole thread, but I would keep the Raptor:

1. Higher towing capacity
2. Better dash, no goofy speedo
3. I don't like the heritage
3a. You could always put the heritage grill and wheels on the raptor, paint the roof white, etc.

That thing is badass. Zero chance I keep a mid level Heritage over that beast. Why not just buy the Heritage and flip it on bringatrailer.com?

Heritage 2 door 7 speed over the Raptor any day for me.

Easier to replicate the raptor with your 2dr than put a manual in your Braptor

Why do those who like 2-doors find the need to pronounce it all the time. It's kinda like those people coming to the door all the time thing to sell their religion.

Like what you like...

Because he asked whether to go with a real one or get a butched up flex

Who cares if ya offend them in the first place

Braptor should been 2dr and manual as well

. Why the hatred within the Bronco world? I truly don’t understand. Now a Heritage is a “butched up flex”.

Exactly that jackassery I’m talking about. Tired of the hate within the Bronco world on this app. Who the F are you to decide that a Raptor shouldn’t be 4-doors….or Auto.
Before you say “don’t like it, then leave”. It’ll be done before you even read this. Done with this hateful place full of jackasses that think they’re shit doesn’t stink and who think “who cares if you offend them in the first place” mentality. I’m not even the OP and I have to say F you.

Seriously what is this obsession with the MT? Go to the hammers this year or any year, I challenge you and find a race car, truck or whatever that has a manual. Nobody runs them. Hell go to a SNORE or SCORE race for that matter. If MT was equal to or superior in any way it would be in the race trucks. But I guess some folks are transmission Amish and think transmission technology stopped 40 years ago and no need for improvement.

How are you going to feel when you pull up next to a Raptor in your Heritage?
