Bronco Raptor Differences vs. All Other Trims - Comprehensive List

[broncobase1]

I added it up and I got “”approximately a $17,000 “”difference. Well worth it if you have the money.

Its worth the money if you need the extra capability, otherwise its a lot of money to look cool. The Ranger Raptor is a compelling choice for far less money.

To provide a contrary opinion, having previously owned three F-150 Raptors when I drove the Braptor I was not impressed. I gave the braptor another try when dealers couldn’t move them and were offering huge discounts. And…still didn’t care for it. Bought another wildtrak instead.

There are disadvantages to some of the differences mentioned-3.0 engine doesn’t have port injectors. Looking forward to when Ford updates that like they did the 2.3 for 2025.

The swaybar disconnect seems to be unreliable, and when it goes you have CEL’s and drive modes don’t work. So far nobody has figured out how to disable it.

Absolutely I agree that it’s the most capable OEM all-around offroader/daily driver one could buy. Just personally-I’m not a fan and would buy another F-150 or Ranger version instead.

What is the advantage of the port injectors?

Keeps your intake valves clean. Modern emissions requirements forced the engineers designing the engines to do some things not ideal for power plant longevity.

Didn't see the OP mention the spare tire reinforcement; extra cool unique taillights; extra extra cool and wide rear spare tire brake light and the extra extra Ludacrisly cool, rear unique mudflaps. Also, optional decals available.

Thanks. I'll add some of these and won't add others, again, "Editorial" decisions .

Since you mentioned the 3 amber identification lights in the grille, also list the corresponding 3 red identification lights that mark the rear (housed in the wider rear center brake light).

Also the Raptor side mirrors have forward facing amber clearance lights and rearward facing red clearance lights.

All the above required due to the Raptor’s increased width.

Except that a totally tacked on and ugly 3rd brake light solution doesn't warrant mentioning.

Sure it might be ugly, but I thought you were trying to make a “comprehensive” list, not just a “complimentary” list?

As I noted in the OP, I'm also excluding things like a different wiring harness. Sure, it is significantly different, but does it matter? I know you can argue that the cosmetics of the 3rd tail light are significantly different. I guess I lied about comprehensive... Fortunately, for those that read, it is documented here in perpetuity .

I also won't include the "wonderful" rear Raptor emblem on the list either...

I'm sorry, I'm just not a fan of the current Bronco Raptor. They're pretty much pointless around here. I see them everywhere on the roads when I'm at work and I've only seen one locally go offroading. Even he said it's just too wide and long for most offroading areas in north Alabama...

I was really hoping they were going to make a 2 door Bronco Raptor, with maybe a Coyote in it, but that never happened.

Just my opinion, I've never been a fan of any vehicle with 4 doors!

I think there is a club of Bronco Raptor’s that meet in Decatur at Big Bob Gibson’s once a month………

If its a comprehensive list....

Slower than a 2.7L two door. Proven that many times myself. The numbers prove it, do the maths.

And I am not anti Raptor, I have the original big block gen 1 F150 Raptor and it has been a great vehicle. I am sure the Braptor will be the same.

Wow! I shouldn’t be surprised, but there sure is a lot of serious Jealousy out there against the Bronco Raptor……. I perfectly understand it though, but it’s still sad. I have had a currently have quite a few Jeep Rubicon’s. And on all the Jeep sites “”some”” of the sport Jeep owners have every excuse to show their jealousy against the Rubicon owners. I’ve had quite a few Ford super duties and on the Ford super duty websites the people with the XLT’s dislike the lariat owners, and there are quite a few people that despise the king ranch and platinum owners……… same thing on the Toyota website…. The regular Toyota owners have a jealousy for all the guys who own a TRD truck. pretty sure the jealousy will never end no matter what vehicle it is unless you have the same one as the complainer has.

Wow! So are you saying that a vehicle with 37 inch tires and the same gearing should be faster than a vehicle with 35 inch tires? I test drove a 2025 Badland Squatch and then immediately afterwards I test drove the 2025 raptor…… I did feel the difference in the 2 inch taller tires without a question, but it was not slower than the Badland Sasquatch set up. Then I put the raptor in goat mode and you’ll definitely feel some additional difference.

I’ve owned 2 dr 2.7 and the Braptor. The Braptor is definitely quicker. At least it feels quicker to me.

H/P per pound is nearly identical. Torque on the other hand favors the 2 door in Torque per pound by about 14%. Torque wins.
