Raptor or Filson?

[Oldhippie]

I have no dog in this fight…I have no interest in either…they both have 4 doors…and yes I am a 2 door snob…but for the trails I go on the regular Bronco (filson) is marginally too wide and the Raptor is a complete no go…but of course anyone looking at a filson isn’t going off roading at all, but then few Raptor owners are going 80mph across the desert either…party on!

OP, you live in vegas, premium offroad terrain exists all around you in all flavors. there is no better place to own a raptor for offroading than where you are at. it was built for out here, you dont have narrow bushy trails to worry about. if the baja like desert of california or the rock crawling of moab doesnt excite you, then a bronco raptor is not the one for you. it is a purpose built machine, the best of the best and thats the objective angle you need to be looking at. if you are shoehorning this truck to fit an aesthetic aspect, then only you can answer that, because thats subjective.

Spot on sir! To not do the locales that you mentioned or not go rip-roaring through vast areas this country has to offer (or perhaps jump this monster vehicle at least once) is to waste the very best of what Detroit has to offer. It will be a long time before we see a show room ready vehicle like this again. Is this a great country or what? Thank you Ford Motor Company for gifting us this gem!!!

The sands of West sound great... videos look like a blast.
I'm midwest Iowa... but the fun of BRaptor and long reach of terrain... taking it across rolling pastures, water ways, muddy hills and bluffs provides its own joy! Taking it over various pastures or crop ground at speed.. getting air and landing smoothly is an absolute thrill to feel... then pull out on a highway and cruise smooth and stable at 80mph. Beautiful Rig... Looks and behavior.

We do plan to get to some dunes in future... those look so fun!

It's called Bronco Raptor Off-Roadeo at Mt. Potosi, NV and it was a blast! Hell, I'd buy another Bronc Rap just to do the course again. Very informative day of off-road shenanigans....
