I love the Raptor, but getting it in my garage without scraping the fenders would be a challenge.

No hater here, I think the Raptor is badass, I just had no desire to spend another $25k over my WildTrak, especially when I have two other performance cars in my garage. I also wasn't positive it would fit in my garage.

The Bronco was supposed to be my daily driver, winter and road trip vehicle.

Fenders are a bit cartoonish, but look much better when painted, aside from that I love everything about it.

I love the "too many things to break" as an excuse why they wouldn't want a Raptor. It's like complaining about maintenance or gasoline costs when purchasing a sports car. If you have the means to spend close to $100K on a vehicle, you're not going to worry about the bells and whistles breaking down the road, unless you don't care because you leased it.

There's a big gap between a base Bronco and a loaded Raptor, if you don't want all the bells and whistles or can't afford them, you have your vehicle in the base. If you want it all, you have the Braptor. No reason to hate on it.

You should add a voting option for “too wide”. I like the Braptor a lot, its just too wide for trails I get into.

Obviously reasons why it is wide, to perform as designed, Baja style. I don’t just mean wide fenders (live or hate), but suspension geometry for 37’s and so on. It’s tough to navigate on tight overgrown trails, and passing others on tight trails for those of us into that kinda stuff.

I had a long argument for the Braptor and then realized that trying to change opinions in a forum is a waste of time. Get what you like and hate on your own time while I enjoy the best production off-roader, the four door, 3.0L, automatic, Ford Braptor!

I literally hate how Masculine the Raptor makes me feel! I swear my Ulta store fights have been getting pretty intense lately, waiting in that long line for my perfume....err, I mean cologne. Yeah, I definitely meant cologne!

Gotta love these polls. I remember back in the early days of the 2021 release when this site was a virtual love fest where everyone was positive and excited and complimented/congratulated each other regardless of trim level. :))

I don't buy vehicles with automatic transmissions.

But man those rear fenders on the Bronco Raptor are ugly.

That's my main issue. I actually like the way it looks at this point. At the right angle, the proportions look pretty good to me. The issue is, I would use it as a daily driver, and my work parking lot is already a pita with my regular bronco. I still have a scout on my radar, and I think they'll have a similar issue.

If anyone has had both:
Which is worse in parking spaces;
Two door bronco with those long doors
Or
Raptor flares

Signed,
You can't scare me. I owned a two door Imperial.

Cool for what they are, but they look really goofy on the road to me. Every time I see one, I think of the wide putin walking meme. Whenever I'm on a trail, I've always been glad I'm not as wide as a Braptor.

Also I kinda think they're too expensive, but I think everything is just way too expensive now.
