To me it looks like ford wants to get a piece of the Jeep market, I think they realized Jeeps sell. Not that they are in the same ring.

I almost bought a classic Bronco a few years ago and other than this not having a V8 it's ticking boxes. Comes with a 2.7L TT V6 making like 330hp and 415ft/lb I think.

I can't tell/don't know, is that the little one or the big/real one?

TRX would be better...

; )
It's the 2 door, which is the one I'd want. Don't hate me but I've not been a fan of the TRX.

If they stuffed a small V8 with small blower or turbo in that Jeep like ride it would sell like hot cakes. Ford slammed V8 on their grill 3 generations ago. Did they loose there roots.

Being shunned and being hated are two different things...


:p

This is the bigger of the two.

The smaller one is the Bronco Sport.

I have a line on a 95 Bronco Eddie Bauer model right now. It's in excellent shape. The problem is they have it priced not too far from the price of a new one.

I got to check out a Bronco Raptor on Monday while I was at my local Ford dealer. They let me check it out. I wish they hadn't. I wish they had told me to avert my eyes and don't even look in it's direction. They could've said no when I asked if I could check it out.....but they didn't. They told me to check it out and climb on in. I did. It was awesome.

I have spent way too much time looking at these online. I've sent out several inquiry emails. Prices are all over the place. Some places are willing to price at MSRP while others have tried to gouge me for $35k ADM. My local dealer said if I order one when the order banks open, they'll sell it to me at msrp. If you just buy what they have in inventory, they are adding a $5-$7k adm on those.

Hell, the regular Coyote 5.0 without a blower would make this thing really nice.

How much extra for a front end that stays together? Or do you have to buy TRX or Jeep parts and graft them in yourself?

After watching multiple YT videos with guys wheeling these things, I can see why some stock stuff breaks.

Of course, the aftermarket has jumped at the opportunity to help solve some of those issues.

Umm, I'm no You Tube aficionado but what are they doing that hasn't been done with Jeeps, or TRXs?

I'd much rather have the F150.
Yes yes that F150 bang for the buck really is nice.

I haven't seen any videos of any TRX's doing the degree of rock crawling these folks are doing. It's almost like they're intent on busting their rigs.
