What Should I Do? Raptor vs Heritage

[HPNQ420]

Who cares if ya offend them in the first place

Braptor should been 2dr and manual as well

And Ford should have outsourced the fenders to Advanced Fiberglass.

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.

Yeah this..im poor so i have a base BB 2 door in CG man but not sure what the decision is..the raptor minus the decals, you can trade it down the road for a heritage im sure

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

I disagree. The list of highly integrated hardware and software on the Raptor are extremely difficult to replicate.

This one time, I had a two door and thought, maybe I should two door, y'know for the two door? I tried a two door but man it really went two door! Because two door, amiright?

You played the Philly ‘Jawn’ card perfectly

Drove a Braptor Monday. As you know it's awesome. I didn't like it from pics or videos online, but once I saw it in person and walked around it I saw just how different the raptor was. You can dress up an OBX to look like the heritage, but you couldn't reasonably change it into a Raptor by adding paint or stickers. (anything is possible with enough$ of course)

I would keep the Raptor

I went from a BRaptor to a Wildtrak. Both with Lux, etc.

I went from a Toyota FJ to the Raptor and it felt like I was driving an F150. The Wildtrak feels more like my FJ. It feels much smaller, probably because it is.

That being said, everything in the Raptor is better and nicer, except I did not like the ride and the width made some parking lots challenging.

It is a beast for a primary vehicle.

When looking for a replacement, lessor Bronco, I did really like the Heritage look. I would have ordered a Heritage limited if it came with the Raptor instrument panel, but since it didn't, I found a Wildtrak that I liked and moved on.

I was able to find some Raptor parts that make my Wildtrak better, like the Raptor side rails and front bumper and lights, but the biggest things I miss are the instrument panel and the Baja exhaust. I loved the Baja exhaust. I almost kept the Raptor just over the instrument panel though. The non-Raptor panel is just terrible, terrible, terrible.

Sometimes I wonder if I should have kept the Raptor, specially after the price increases, but then I remind myself that I wasn't ever really in love the it. It was super cool, but somebody else is loving it more.

Drive them both. Your gut will tell you what you want.

I wouldn't call the Wildtrak's instrument panel awful. I rather like mine. It's kind of retro, like an Atari 2600 video gaming system from the late 70s.

I didn't read through all the posts but there are a lot of people who never would have bought a Raptor or have not driven one who have strong opinions about them. I think it would be very difficult to go from a Rraptor to any other trim. Even above and beyond the power. Ride quality, technology is better, seats are better.

Not saying there is a right or wrong choice but I would go drive a Wildtrak/Sasquatch before making the decision.

All that being said, I wish there was a 2dr Raptor.

FACT!

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.

I spent half my driving life with automatic and had to teach myself stick

drove over 100k miles in stick alone, forgot how much auto, and on roadtrips and all 5 boroughs of NYC between my old Audi and Bronco

Ive had a ‘10 Boxster S with pdk, shit was fast and flawless, but once I learned stick, Id trade it for a ‘92 civic hatch without a second thought if I could.

I dont rock crawl, dont care to and even if I did, I rather have fun than let a computer do all the work. For the money, I could be another “rich” poser in a leased automatic bmw, but Im a purist who loves my vehicles and want to enjoy what I want how I want.

Manual is only dying because the middlemen at the dealers dont order sticks for the masses, why the only pickups with them are now Tacos and Daddiators instead of big boys like it used to be, and why used vehicle prices are still high as a kite. Not everyone id patient enough to wait, they need a new car yesterday, hence diminishing amount of stick orders.

So yeah, be impressed with numbers, I was at one point. Now idc, I just wanna enjoy myself and the ride

The Raptor is the better of the two as far as specs go. You could always make the raptor look like a heritage to satisfy the look but keep the performance and suspension and beefier steering rack

Yo Jack, you want specs or a manual?

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...

Just like Vegans announcing they are Vegan!!!!!!

I keep hearing about width issues but I added another 3" and it's perfectly fine and performs well. Yeah you get to take the big boy Jeep lines if your not on pavement.

I'll stay with what I said earlier. BRaptor is the top of the top. If the Heratige was a limited, it could be considered. But its not. Its trim is below even a Badlands or Wildtrack. If you plan on going down a dirt trail to Grandma's house, the Braptor will still be better. When you go to sell or trade, the first thing that will be asked is "What trim?" Raptor. "OH!" "What trim?" Heritage. "Is it limited??" No. "Oh...."
