I actually like the Raptor name & think it fits with what will eventually be a family of performance off road vehicles. They have guys lining up with $100K burning a hole in their pockets to get their hands on the F150 versions, no doubt that’s why they used the name with its brand equity for the Bronco. Some early adopters will probably spend that at any dealer that can get a unit or 2 allocated.

I don't think Ford would have any problem selling just as much with the SVT badge on the back. They've done pretty well with that family of performance vehicles as well. And yes, I do like the Raptor name for the F150 and if I could afford a Bronco Raptor I'd probably get one but I'd still think the naming is silly in the case of the bucking horse.

The vehicle is beyond outrageous and it’ll kick some serious tail but it’s too late for Ford to reconsider the name. When I hear the name “Bronco Raptor” my mind translates it to “Horse Bird” which sounds pretty silly to me and takes any potential badassery out of the equation. It’s already an animal. Why make it into a mutation of two totally different animals? Although, now that I think of it, Pegasus is a horse bird, too. Anyway, Ford should bring back three simple letters.........”SVT”.

Fully agree. I hated "Warthog" too... Check this out: Ford Horse Pig

That thing is bad ass.

I'm hoping they make the fully digital instrument cluster at least an option on non-Raptor trims for 2023.

Slingy,
Thank you. Horse Bird is the funniest thing I’ve read on this forum. I picked up my new Badlands yesterday and I’m christening it Horse Bird, Gona get custom decals to replace those dumb Badlands things in the side. Will post pictures.

The rear amber lights are on side view mirrors. They should be on the rear but I guess that was good enough to pass. Half the fog lamps are covered on delivery because the lights are too bright for road use. Wheels cannot legally stick out of the body but the fenders are easily removable by the driver. Hood height is probably close to legal limit but the regulations only state headlight height so they design hoods a bit taller and leave headlights lower. Metal bumpers probably wouldn't pass pedestrian collision tests but nhtsa doesn't test for pedestrian safety like other countries do. Sorry I'm ranting but I feel there is an almost hostile trend in design of cars towards other road users.

Lol and some cars no driver input needed...

I'm guessing it starts around 75k and dealer markups pull it up to about 90.

The Big Bronco picks up where our Sports top out, About $38,000 (not counting the Bronco Raptor), for the two door short wheel base, Base model. I think they Top out at or about $80,000.

I have put my name on the Raptor reservations list through Bronco brokers: here's a link. Curious if anyone else is trying other things to get Raptor reservations?
