Make My V8 Bronco Raptor, Ford!!! Things Done Changed!

[Medictrode]

I’m all for a V8 special edition. . But I’d also like to see the Coyote 5.0 as a general option on all trims. Nothing insane, just an option.

I've owned 2 Coyotes and if it had been available on the Bronco I would have bought it.

All Im saying is it's not worth the extra cost. Honestly how often will you do things with your raptor that I can't do with my rig? Im guessing you literally never will.

But, heh, it's bragging points in the mall lot.

Now if the Raptor had a V8? THEN it would be worth the extra coinage

I want whatever has the 2 door and manual transmission.

Yes, MT (me too)!!
MT (Manual Transmission)
MT (my two-door)

Check your response above. I'm quoting the response that you responded to with the second comment. I think you intended to responded to someone else and not yourself.

Stupid phone.

Doesn't matter. Not worth the effort to fix.

I like popcorn with butter AND salt.

It’s political.

It’s a catchy song too

After reading this thrilling thread, Fast forward 50 years and most of us will be long gone or getting our butts wiped by our kids or strange care taker and scared to even drive to the neighborhood grocery store on Sunday morning. I say be happy what ever that may be EV or fuel guzzling smile maker.

Yep. Only live once, so I plan to continue to enjoy it and the glorious sound of a well tuned V8 would give me the warm and fuzzies all over.

For those who have and/or love their EVs, great! It’s a free country and if you’ve want an EV you should have one, but instead what had happened was the powers that be force fed them to us and some of us just don’t always want a salad, some of us want med rare steak. Even further, maybe that steak may kill me quicker, or maybe it won’t.

All I know is, I’d rather fewer years with a steak smile than a salad smirk on my face. It’s a free country ain’t it?

Amen Brother!

Edmunds did 20mpg lifetime and 25mpg best. If I got 19 city and 22 hwy in a hybrid Bronco I’d be stoked and that seems doable.

I get that now with my 2.7 (at least that's what the computer says ). Haven't broken out the calculator in decades to compute mileage, who cares anyway???

when there's maybe 4 years of gas left out there

That's what they told me when I was 18 ....I'm 62 now

Not only that, they took $ out of everyone's pocket and gave it away to EV buyers who are themselves disproportionately well off.

Many things could be said but this was a bad move on their part for their own goals because it is a fundamental unfairness and won't be forgotten.

My vehicles will run clean burning gasoline from now on just out of spite

I guess I’m in the minority wanting a hybrid powerboost Bronco. I’ll take better gas mileage and more power please. A Mustang sure give me a V8 but a Bronco I don’t understand the appeal. Maybe it’s living out west where fuel range matters.

Personally, I don't understand the appeal either. First priority for me is a manual transmission, but if a manual wasn't available and I was forced to buy an automatic, I rather have a hybrid automatic than an ICE.

But yeah, we're probably in the minority among those on a Bronco enthusiast forum.

I betcha if you polled the general public though... more people would rather have a hybrid Bronco than a V8 Bronco.
