You recovered stock Bronco trims at Easter Safari in Moab last year with your Raptor?

Simple explanation...

Take 91K in cash out of your account and put it on the kitchen table, if you would buy the Raptor with it then buy the Raptor, if you wouldn't then don't.

Can't tow, drives like a bus, can't park in a lot of places... unless you're going to be racing through the desert, it's nothing more than a status car. Wildtrak or Badlands is better suited for 99% of people. At the Raptor level, you're buying a less capable vehicle and buying more into an image.

Have you driven one? I doubt it because it docent drive like a bus. I like the ride and drive better than the Wildtrak. No issue at all parking it anywhere. It's a lot easier to park than my F-150 was. No harder to park than any 4-door bronco. I sure do not see it as a status car. Most people do not, as they have no clue its not just another 4 door bronco. Mine has been off road several times.

Just exactly how is it less capable.

If you have a Raptor order at MSRP, and it is not a financial burden for you to take it, then you should take it and enjoy it.

If I was offered a Raptor order at MSRP, I absolutely would've taken it. Then been upset when it didn't fit in my garage.

A Raptor at MSRP is a good deal. Thats why I switch from Badlands to Raptor when my dealer offered it at MSRP.

This is the most fun to drive 4x4 I have ever owned. I have had Jeep Cherokee, Tacoma, FJ Cruiser, Blazer and 1500 Regular cab short box. Not had any CJ, YJ or TJ. My brothers have had lots of Jeeps, and I have drove them.

You recovered stock Bronco trims at Easter Safari in Moab last year with your Raptor? The Bronco Raptor wasn't even built yet.

You seem rather defensive as to what you and your Raptor are capable of - even challenging others to show up in Moab this spring. Why wait? Bring your Raptor to Ol' Florida New Years event next weekend. Certainly, you aren't intimidated by the local trails in Florida. There will be plenty of 6G Broncos that would love to see your Raptor in action. Plus, you can add to your resume of recovering more stock Broncos. Of course, I'm sure you are humble enough when Micah has to recover you from Blue Rhino.

Blue Rhino? Is that like the Blue Oyster bar in the Police Academy movies?

I have a Bad Sas 2.7 2D, the ultimate off roader. If any of you guys that mistakenly got a Braptor want an upgrade I will trade you straight across. And just like that...no more parking issues...they just go away.

OP: I didn't order mine with a hitch, well because they just aren't designed to tow. Going from a Duramax to a Braptor to tow at max you are going to regret it.

On the other hand, if 3/4 and 1 tons were made to fly Boeing would make them.

My dealer has a braptor for 115k, I get emails all the time about it (as I said I was interested) but told them not with ADM. its been sitting for a couple weeks now.

my main reason wanting the raptor was bigger engine and and beefy look. But for nearly 60k more than my OBX, I could spend 10k and make it nearly identical.

and the engine upgrade is only .3L which isnt much, probably has the same output as my OBX once you account for weight, Aero, and Tire size

I must have not mentioned that the Duramax is not being sold. It will still be my daily driver and tow vehicle. It’s just getting tired and old looking. Thought about spending $50K on a used 2017+ Duramax and spending the difference on a used T650 track machine.

If you like the drive, the fully upgraded 2023 Wildtrak with Lux is basically a mini Raptor. The new Wildtrak rides on the Raptor suspension with all the Raptor upgrades but without the wide stance. I'd go test drive a 2023 Wildtrak if you can find one. I own one and love the drive. I hear it's totally different than the 2022 Wildtrak drive experience.

If you like the Wildtrak drive, I'd say see your order though delivery and talk to the dealer about getting you into a loaded 2023 Wildtrak at MSRP for giving them the Raptor. There are lots of unclaimed orders out there. If you can't find one, then buy the Raptor and you can always trade later.

I personally think the Braptor has a lot of tacky looking design decisions.

Theres some good stuff in here. I just took my dad for a ride in mine, he was very impressed with it. I now have 300 miles on it and I paid MSRP for it. I would have been perfectly happy with my 21 Badlands that never got made, but when you get what I feel is once in a lifetime option, you take it. As said you only live once.
