Passed on our Raptor

A sound, responsible decision? What are you doing on the forum? Hahaha! It's a good call if you have any concern over the payment amount. Otherwise, an ultra-low mileage Braptor could be worth something in 25 years.

I am hoping to cut my driving down so I can use my "spare" mileage for trips--Moab is a long way from Miami, haha.

I don’t drive either, but I’d keep it. I enjoy walking by my Bronco every day.

I read that as you walk your Bronco every day, lol.

This is what's wrong with this country, GenY and GenZ'ers feel no need to ever leave the house!

Want to see a show - Stream it
Want a good meal - Grubhub it
need new threads - Amazon it
need food - Instantcart it
need a boy/girl friend - tinder it

I don't understand why they are so worried about the environment they never go out in it !!!

You have a strange ability to rattle those off... lol We are app'ing ourselves to death. Life! As seen on the internet.

I've worked from home for 12 years but I still manage about 8K miles a year on my daily driver. Don't you folks ever leave the house? Get outside and breath some clean air! Jeez you have a Bronco, go somewhere in it!

That's what I say. I don't work from home, but every day that I was off and the weather is nice I would take my dog for a random ride with no destination. Just riding around back roads exploring.

My wife works from home and I have a very long daily commute. She has an older pristine 2013 Silverado truck, short bed regular cab with a 4.8 V8. It's a hot rod but paid for so it can sit a lot and it does. The Bronco we use mostly for our errands and driving around on the weekend. It gets driven but not a lot- about 5K miles a year. We can afford to keep it as it's just a base and paid for also. My daily driver is a Miata track edition. Great gas mileage, fast and nimble. I do take the Bronco once every couple of weeks.

Bronco Raptor- ridiculously expensive and horrendous gas mileage. Will never be on my or my wife's radar with our income.

Do you park the Miata under your Bronco? Space saver! lol

This thread makes me feel slightly less guilty that my '15 Mustang only has 13,XXX miles on it...

I don't get just letting a car sit. Someone in my apartment complex had a souped up charger that literally just sat there with a car cover on. I was talking to him one day cause he saw me putting a bumper on my bronco and I said "you need to drive that thing". He just shook his head yes and had a disappointed look on face like he was sad it was just sitting. Now I don't see it anymore . It's not like any of you guys are talking about rare classic cars, it's new broncos and relatively new mustangs. Go enjoy them

We have other vehicles that get driven daily, so not too worried about it. I have no problem with her Bronco sitting in the garage next to my Mustang that also doesn't get driven much(5000 miles in 15 months). I just bought a new 2024 GMC Sierra AT4 to drive on trips and to work, so that will rack up more miles than anything. But once spring and summer come back around the doors and top will come back off and the Bronco will be driven.

Not quite but both are so short in our association when I park in the street I can fit both in one parking spot, so 2 vehicles count as one!

Our non-SAS Badlands is a year old today 3381 miles just had its first oil change.

Garage candy!!
Life changes. Keep it. Enjoy it!

Oh I am. I’m one of the fortunate people that don’t have to use a personal car for work.
