Raptor or Filson?

[dougcjohn]

Ford doesn’t break out Bronco sales by trim level, but there have likely been more cybertrucks sold since their introduction in 2022 (between 60-63K) than Braptors since 2021 (estimated at less than 10% of total Bronco sales). Hard to believe, but likely true! I’m sure the cybertruck is also good at starting conversations with strangers — ones that include expletives!

I’m sure you’re correct on Cyber Truck sales… for multiple reasons. Also agree, percentage the BRaptor is the lowest number sold of Bronco… again for multiple reasons, probably the lowest reason is it’s looks or build. For Owner's that retains their vehicles for years… that’s great news for resale, the lower numbers help with resale, collectible, and keeping it unique in appearance.

You see an older Porsche wide fender & whale tail… still get noticed as different from normal. Some hate it… I’ve always found them beautiful and they too were a pleasure to drive!

Still find it humorous how so many negative comments come from the Bronco community, when it’s highly admired by so many elsewhere. What difference does it make if you don’t like its looks… I find it even more entertaining reading the comments… relax it’s not yours… Enjoy your Bronco.

No on Filson, I just don’t get it. Too booshy and stuffy for what a Bronco is.

I'd go with the Filson

A 6.0LS trailblazer disguised as high end.
I expect as many
fillson footnotes
to sell.

Does anyone remember the explorer limited?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/125976283908
5% of explorer sales including year end holdovers discounted to the level of base models.

Can we do Lincoln trucks now?

I love blackwoods. For some cosmic reason unknown, anywhere in the USA, I'll manage to be parked near one at least 6 times a year.

But
We dont know what kind of write-off these types of projects generates for ford.

Base:
I dont care. I'm just trying to inject some sense into the nonsensical of all the folks who say they want one.

Exactly who they’re going after. The people with the $80K+ and the snooty taste — who would never buy the Braptor.

Snooty usually buy Land Rovers not dolled up Broncos. I think the Filson is for those that like the look of the Bronco but stay on pavement.

I on the other hand prefer bat sh*t crazy engineering.

+80% of all Broncos, including Braptors, stay on the pavement, if Ford is to be believed. And the Filson will likely be priced loaded where the Land Rover begins. Is there a market segment there to be had? We’ll see. Ford thinks so, and they never make miscalculations, do they?
