I could truly car less about the jeep or Bronco debate, but those that are still using the "can't justify spending 100+K" argument need to stop. It simply is not the case anymore or even close with the used market for a BRaptor.

I believe they start at about 79k…… I just ordered mine over a month ago far from stripped with leather seats, bead locks and more for a MSRP of 88k and then the dealer takes about 6K off, which brings it down to 82k. Now, if you throw every single bell and whistle at it that you can imagine, how you’re looking at 110k.

...you get massively more in upgrades than you would add by trying to mod to the same level with aftermarket parts? That wouldn't even include the labor expenses.
Now, compare that to how much it would cost to make the Braptor a two-door. :wink: 😂

Wow! I shouldn’t be surprised, but there sure is a lot of serious Jealousy out there against the Bronco Raptor…….
Envy. Jealousy is when you have something you don't want other people to have and envy is when you want what someone else has.

I don't hate the Braptor, I hate that it's not a Bronco a four-door.

Same. I would not own a Bronco if there wasn’t a 2-Door option. So while the Braptor is truly awesome, it was not and never will be a consideration…….unless Ford makes a 2-Door version.

Sorry not sorry 😁.

You'll thank me immediately upon driving on any surface, but especially at high speed, in Raptor mode, paddle shifting.

Did you include?
Transmission Cooler - Stand alone

This is in addition to the heat exchanger found on the V6 broncos. Note the 4 cylinder auto has no cooler at all.

2.3 auto has the same type of heat exchanger as the 2.7, just in a different location

So I was shopping for a Braptor and loved it but may have made a mistake. They parked it next to the 150 raptors so ended up with one of them:wink:
Come summer I'll be sorry as heck not being able to go topless but it does have a moon roof

I would love all of the suspension and frame upgrades over other broncos except the width. I’ve squeaked through many spots where I’m pretty sure a Raptor would’ve turned around. If you’re not in the great wide open that width is a huge liability.

Also no 2 door no stick are deal breakers.

Ford should definitely realize that not everyone is desert racing or taking the kids to soccer and make a smaller Bronco Raptor.

Incidentally, assuming people are jealous for pointing out these shortcomings is juvenile behavior.

I originally had a 2021 Badlands (nonsasquatch). It had a plastic rear bumper. I didn't see it mentioned but the Braptor comes standard with a steel rear bumper. Maybe this is an option on some other trims. Also, I saw a few folks noting MSRP differences. One of the main reasons I leveled up to a Braptor was because all of the upgrades I wanted were already done. It was going to take a lot of time and money to get my old Badlands to the same level as the Braptor. And I think the Ford Performance engineers nailed it. IMHO it was definitely worth it for me, especially when they painted the fender flares. Huge difference in looks. (and Yes I paid below sticker - 2024 model purchased in Spring of 2025). The only negative I have is it's a bit tight on the trails and in the garage.
