Braptor is actually disappointing

[Justb211]

The longer I look at it, I agree more with your statement.

Ouch…I’m with you on the interior quality. It’s embarrassing for vehicle that costs this much.

My current options are more than the current msrp for what I paid for it and it came with service, ceramic Oates and some other things. But I’m not bitching about the price and couldn’t care less if it got wrecked in the street. But it’s just each day I see more and more how crappy it actually is.

And I respect your response escoeciallybhownyounwouldnt go above a certain price. But do you honestly think it’s worth the current msrp?

Nope! My build was $76k! I wouldn’t pay more than $80k!

I think a lot of us went into our Bronco's with the understanding that the top trim shared the same interior as the $29K Base.

I'm quite enjoying my $49k Badlands manual. On the rocks, dirt and road it works just fine. I didn't expect it to be a BMW.

I just had two hard core jeep guys say it's amazing in person yesterday but what do they know. Everyone has their own opinions but am not buying the trash part.

Yes and no. I didn’t expect anything spectacular but at least something that has decent quality material. Like I said it looks like the panels were made at a Chinese golf club nocknoff factory.

A price like that is fine and feel the Braptor may only be worth not much more than that.

No arguments with that, it compares with my 85 XJ.

I’ve had my Jeep at 104mph at koh. I think I may have some experience and if you don’t know where that is then I don’t know what to say.

Welcome to 2023, where everything is expensive. Sorry you overpaid, but it's worth what people will shell out for it and people like you are why dealers mark them up ridiculously over MSRP. One could argue my trim package is only worth $30k. It costs what it costs though.

I knew what I was getting when I bought it.

Yes it costs what it cost and I’m not crying about it as I couldn’t care less what happens to it or if I lose money getting rid of it. It’s just that people tolerate crap today. I’ve had three Ford trucks in the last 7 years and none were this poor quality in regards to paint, interior, and just overall quality. If I keep it then a sawzall is in its future with a complete gutting and a double throw down system and become a trail rig.

what do you specifically want picture of. Do you have one? If not then this post doesn’t apply to you.

This is the retort of a person who has the same mastery of logic as one who saw Bronco interior panels and bought a Bronco Raptor anyway expecting something totally different. How's that for some good ole Pirate4x4 feel? My screen name here is different for reasons that should be obvious. A lot of hard talk and posturing until your soap bubble gets tickled and pops.

So I never planned on getting the Bronco or a Raptor. I was able to test drive them at KOH 2021 and the bronco's they had handled pretty good and all the other racers and teams thought the same. I've sold a stock 4600 jeep JKU and a 4900 car and thought I was done with the off-road scene. However when redoing the audio in the wife's bronco when buying clips for the panels I happen to purchase a Braptor. At first I thought the vehicle was good but 4000 miles later, I feel its the worst vehicle I have ever owned. First I feel the interior is the cheapest quality I have ever come across and was worse than a 2003 Hyundai accent I had when enlisted in the military. The interior panels look like they were manufactured at a nock off golf club manufacturer in China. I had to remove the panels in the wife's 2 door to replace all the speakers and install a sub and they are the flimsiest POS I have ever had to remove and reinstall. The paint in the rear looks like an orange peal and the comfort in the seat doesn't compare to a S10 I had over 20 years ago. I have taken it wheeling on actual rocks and not some BS dirt trail and must say it handles nice compared to other off the floor vehicles but on the road is the worst vehicle I have driven on the road. That comparing it to a jeep 4 door with one ton axles with Grizzly lockers on 35" tires with a double triangulated rear 4 link and long arm kit in the front that was 4600 KOH tagged which handled better on the road than this thing. I know this isn't the common post as most are worried about PPF or what lights to put on and painting bash plates but is there any actual people out there that have wheeled real rock trails and not the BS Moab revenge or hells gate trail that can be done in a kia sportage that actually thinks this thing is even worth the original MSRP of 2022? The Fox shocks I feel are ok and wish they would have gone with a company that actually has good customer service like King or ADS shocks which I feel are better quality and have more tunability. Just venting but does any one else feel let down with the quality of it?

So just to clarify: in the only post you have made, other than trying to humbly brag about you’re offroad experience, installing a radio upgrade, and disposable income, you don’t like the door trim, the seats, and the comfort of the highway ride on the Raptor. So is the objective here to gain sympathy, get a reaction from people who own a raptor, or to try to be helpful to people considering buying a raptor? Asking because I think you’re just trying to get a response from people but I genuinely can’t tell what the hell is happening here

While I'm confident OP can sell it, is there any chance the shocks you mentioned would put the Braptor in your happier place. People would buy the Braptor shocks to defray costs, and your clearly no stranger to modding vehicles. As far as interior unhappiness, cover the trunk in molle panels. Just looking at the problem from a different angle rather than taking the piss. I hope you find the vehicle you're looking for. Broncos ain't for everyone.
