Help with Buying a 24 Bronco Raptor

[Speeder757]

Hello,
I am planning on pulling the trigger on a New 24 Bronco Raptor. From my search it appears like there is basically any color or option package you can think of still available. My only requirement is the Leather Package so I can have the Power Seats. I'm not really sold on the Carbon Fiber PKG as it seems like it doesn't offer much for the price (anything I am missing?) Can you guys give me some of your thoughts on some of the options that you feel are needed or color combos that have been popular? Such as Painted Hardtop, Beadlocks, Painted Fenders, Blue vs Black Leather Etc I have an F-150 Raptor and a Ranger Raptor but this will be my first Bronco. Thx

There are some really good deals on 2024 Braptors right now. I am seeing them in the 69-75 range.

Ya that's why I'm going to buy one to replace my Ranger. I haven't quite seen down to 69K though with power seats. Do you have a link? Thx

They definitely are out there. Mine has leather, CF, orange seat belts, beadlocks and graphics. Pre tax was $69k on mine.

No options here except orange seat belts. It doesn't need and most options actually make it worse IMHO.

23 or 24? I haven't seen one that low yet.

I posted this one yesterday in the Raptor pricing thread.

Cool I'll check it out and see if there are any surprises etc Not sure that color would be my first pick but if the price is right

What colors have you guys been liking lately? I was just gonna get White or Black. Now I'm thinking maybe ShelterGreen, VelocityBlue, or HotPepperRed. Opinions? Thx

Having recently gone through the entire thought process, here's my .02 cents. Like you, I wanted the leather/power seats so that was mandatory.

I drove Raptors with the blue leather, without the carbon but all had the "Lux" package. I could easily live without the carbon and there are aftermarket parts available to add carbon to the steering wheel and grab handles.

The blue leather was pretty dark but I'd still opt for the black leather personally with the gray inserts (not the orange inserts). It really comes down to exterior color though along with personal preference. I just think the onyx gray or whatever they call it will have better resale long-term if that's a consideration.

This is true for the painted flares as well as the roof. If I were going darker, shelter green, black, I'd do painted both but would be fine with just the painted flares. If I were doing white, blue, gray, or orange, I prefer the contrast of the non-painted flares and roof. But that's just me. There's a local white Raptor with painted flares and my wife likes it but I feel it's just too much white. It's like they're trying to gussy up the Braptor aka lipstick on a pig.

I wanted the beadlock capable wheels but 20/20 hindsight, I might have gone with the regular wheels and then done an aftermarket set instead.

I agree. I think the non painted flairs and roof look better on certain colors

My vote is Hot Pepper Red. It changes color based on lighting. Goes from a maroon ish color to a burnt orange color.

Me either…Im looking at a 23 for 68,000, but I have yet to find a 24 in the 69 range.

Because I bought to keep, I cannot think of a compelling reason to care between a new 2023 and a new 2024. I truly comes down to price between the 2. There’s not a nickels worth of difference. If you need painted flares, save a mint on a 23 and spend the savings having the flares painted. Just my 2 cents
