If they were to put the Coyote in the BRaptor, who's to say they'd also include the turbos. The Coyote is already putting out about 480 horsepower in stock form, which is above what the BRaptor is putting out now. If room is a concern for turbos, they could always supercharge it. My Roush...

Thanks for the explanation and yes, it does sound a bit like black magic, and definitely a skill.

Yes, either paint the entire side or do what they call "blending". I'm not a body guy so I may be incorrect in what I'm about to say, but I don't think "Blending" means painting all the adjacent body panels. I thought it was clear coating them, since often it's the clear that tends to dull and...

Yep. I believe I stated that. It depends on the state and how risk averse the insuance company is. They should cover it. It's part of the workmanship. Also, as most of us know, mismatched paint may not show up differently, or not at all depending on light. When I had my Bronco PPF'd, it...

Forgot to comment on this part as well. What you stated is correct. The advantage you as the insured get by going to a preferred shop is what is intended to be a no-hassle experience. When picking up your vehicle, all you do is pay your deductible. The body shop bills the insurance company for...

Correct. I was going to mention this, but my post was already getting we bit long. :) Buying back a vehicle will almost always result in the title being branded as salvage and many companies will not insure a vehicle with a branded title. Those that do may make you may make you jump through...

I worked for two major insurance companies (in IT) before retiring from corporate life five years ago. Most, if not all, insurance companies will look at a claim (regardless of fault) as an "occurrence", along with any moving violations. Depending on the insurance company, and local (state)...

Sorry to hear about your Bronco, but as others have said, glad that you both came out of it relatively unscathed. Good luck with the insurance process.

See the article I just ran across. They mentioned that while it has the engine from the Raptor, "it will be tuned to be less 'Raptor-y'"...

I like it. Also jealous of the interior bits and the ventilated seats. Not sure about the painted flares. If you don’t PPF them, they’re going to get chipped. All and all, I’m a fan. Not enough to trade-in my ‘24 WT, but I like it.

My comments are mostly about the Bronco in general. I don't have a Big Bend, so I can't speak to that trim level specifically. I have owned several off-road capable vehicles in the past, a couple of Pathfinders and a couple Land Cruisers. My son too owned a 2019 Colorado ZR2. I liked that rig...

2024 WildTrak, built 11/14, purchased 1/25. Mileage at 12,125, still on the original windshield with no chips or cracks. I did have windshield film from STEK applied about 4months in (about a year ago). I only recall a couple of hits to the windshield, but don't know if they were hard enough to...

That's a huge increase! I went to the Moab Off-Roadeo last June with my other half. I don't remember the guest fee, I want to say it was $75, but it might have been a little more and NO Where close to what you were quoted. Initially she was not planning to drive. On the day of the event, during...

Like others have said, it's worth it if you need it and not if you don't. Back in 2014 we purchased a CPO F150 w/30K miles on it. We purchased an extended warranty "CPO Wrap". That warranty paid for itself and for all the extended warranties ever purchased. I have a folder full of repairs...
