Here's the new Bronco Raptor. Not sure how Ford plans to produce this Raptor version when their current production volume can't meet current demand. They did increase the towing capacity by ~1k lbs.

I'm sure they will produce fewer base models so they can make the Raptor version if they can't increase production enough.
Looks like a pretty sweet Bronco.

Why bother? Just go buy a Jeep Rubicon and pocket $20,000. Ford did a fair job of copying the Jeep Wrangler.

Its obviously awesome, but could have been so much more awesome with a long travel solid front axle on it.

I hope so. Maybe the Jeep prices will moderate some and I can get the Jeep I want.
The Bronco Raptor is awesome, but will be WWWWAAAYYYYY out of my price range.

Why not have the option? Long travel coil solid axle for the crawler guys. (The 12 people with more dollars than sense who will go thrash a new $70k suv, right off the showroom floor)
And then have an IFS for everyone else , the 95% soccer mobile pavement pounders and the wanna be Baja racers.
That would be cool!
BTW, the price and popularity of Jeeps (wranglers) about makes me want to barf!
I’ve quit, not giving back the stupid Jeeper wave when wanna be overland rock crawler guys give me the wave when I have the old CJ5 out. Now I just flip them the bird if they’re driving to the grocery store with their hi lift jack, matching fuel can, shovel with a painted handle, them plastic get unstuck boards and the other 10 grand worth of bolt on accessories!
I’m an equal opportunity offender though. I dont jeeper wave at real jeepers either. Lol
