Exactly! Also has the Torsen front diff, the ability to tune it and run E85, and you can get full hands free driving. Not sure if that last one is limited to 2022's or not though.

Lots are FULL! We are full time in our RV. We stay in major cities within 1 hour drive from airport. Im still working. Point is, ALL of the lots we have seen from the UP to Red Bay are stacked full on every lot. I also work with repo companies, the auction lots are also full. Not sure who is buying all of these overpriced cars... We got our Bronco in Bowling Green last Oct. 650 miles, sat on the lot for a month...
The flaw here is assuming that people want/need to drive exactly what is a rational choice.
If humans were purely rational with vehicle purchases, the vast majority of us would need little more than basic transportation like a Toyota Corolla Hybrid or Tesla Model 3 Long Range (if you wanted to go EV).
If you want to drive a Bronco Raptor and never leave pavement, more power to you.
Personally I'm happy that mine has already seen a few trails with 1800 miles on the odometer. Driving it down the road to get a pizza puts a big smile on my face also though. To each their own and not everyone is lucky enough to live in a place like Arizona with multiple fantastic offroading options available a couple hours or less from home.

Well, to be honest I did drive off road 1 time since I purchased mine in July, I had a drive through my back yard to get something but I had recently mowed the lawn with the bagger on the tractor, edged the lawn and trimmed it.. so the Raptor did just fine. LOL

If you're comparing a Mercedes to a Bronco Raptor, don't buy the Bronco Raptor. You're not going to be happy.
39,000 miles on my Braptor, probably a few of those airborne. I paid $70k for it 2 years ago, but I'd gladly pay MSRP today. You cannot build a lower trim Bronco to beat it, period.

You'll have more fun doing that next time after a bunch of fresh rain.
Your yard will probably not look as good anymore though!
@Granger Ford got you under invoice. They made a poast about it last month.

I will admit, if the BRaptor was available when I purchased my Badlands, I would have bought it. My Badlands has been modded to the land excess of beyond and back and has held up to what S. FL has to offer in off-roading.
The prices, well they are what they are. If I were to get a new Badlands, equal to what I currently have, it would cost me 73k. With that, I would look for a low-mileage BRaptor, or just buy new. In the end, they are all toys. I daily drive my Bronco, and I enjoy it. I also have two other not needed toys just to switch up the drive mood. In the end, we all love our vehicles. Just as the saying goes, we are still all little boys, the difference is the cost of our toys.

I did a comparison of 3 Broncos equipped with 37’s. One on Radflo, one on King and one on Icon. Then for fun we threw the Raptor in the mix. We did jumps, rock crawling and put each one on a CTI ramp. The stock Raptor blew them all out of the water. The only way my Bronco outperforms the Raptor is in ground clearance now. I’m about 2 more inches under the front skid. The only time I see the difference is on the rubicon 2x a year. Raptor all the wayIf you're comparing a Mercedes to a Bronco Raptor, don't buy the Bronco Raptor. You're not going to be happy.
