2023 Ford Bronco Raptor Full Review: Bronco on Steroids 

I noticed too, maybe he doesn't use the ac because it would give wind noise?

@@PreludeDude I'd prefer a little wind noise

Never seen anyone's biceps be the first thing to start sweating.

@@chipskylark8869 my guess it’s from wiping his face

I was gonna say that 🤣 bro who cares about wind noise don't sweat profusely

I think the issue with the score is that in some instances, things like weekend fun and a few others, probably didn't make much sense since that's not the intended reason for a specific car's existence.

Yeah but I wish he did it in strict reference to a category, like acceleration, styling, pricing and so on should be scored relative to the class of car they belong to.

Yeah...that is true but I think he could just have different scoring tables for different vehicle types, and then walk through each category like before. I suspect another reason he stopped was to save time per video. But I agree it would be nice to have it back

@@frogturtle Pretty much every single video of his is 20+ minutes. He definitely didn't do it to save time.

@@parkerhill9725 Yeah, I think if you do it relative to that car's specific category, that could possibly work. It's funny to score a base Kia Optima as low because it doesn't have the same 'fun appeal' as a Kia Stinger, when both cars are designed for specific purposes.

Thanks

Haha, yep, plenty more room for a dealer markup!

half million dollar markup lol

@Tommy Le good luck marking up things in this market. They’ll just sit on lots. Recession buyers aren’t going to be as plentiful

let the rich kids fight over them like the first edt

That is why direct sales need to be legalized nation wide.

I think he’s the one w the QUIRKS!

I’m happy to see someone get so excited about cars and trucks but honestly sometimes his “energy” is distracting and gives me anxiety lol

Meanwhile my country's regulations used to require lorries/light trucks to have an orange light on the roof that blinked when they were travelling close to or above their then speed limit of 60km/h (37mph)

Yet his opinions on the hood extractor and the exhausts are terrible

Yeah it really is awesome, the kind of cars being released. But (at least in America) if our ‘amazing’ president has anything to say/do about it, gasoline is on its way out. Forcing our hands to not be able to use them in the future. Sure is a shame. I miss the 90’s 😂

You are 100% right about that. And the companies had this technology 15 years ago too.

@@farewell_to_normalcy9352 Petrol is on its way out. Your "I cannot even ride a bicycle without falling" president doesn't have a single thing to do with it.

Lucky? To have vehicle that nobody will be able to buy at MSRP? Or do you mean a vehicle that nobody will have the money to be able to put gas in?

I'm clueless as to why people like big Jeeps that cannot handle a corner. Can anyone explain what's so fun about having a vehicle like this? What's fun about paying out the nose in gas?

I got the same impression. I suspect that the engine would have to be revved much higher to hear the difference.

Me to both of them sounded the same maybe if you hear it in person it’s different

They should have some optional upright exhaust pipe outlets optional for deep fording creeks out in the desert....well, if there's any water left. I guess baja racing doesn't get as wet as wadi crashing.

Wish you the best

Agreed. Notwithstanding another solid video from Daddy Doug, just another mall-crawler 🤷‍♂️

@@jeffmills80 I never heard the term "mall crawler" before. That's awesome. Haha.

The OP's post is not only funny but also true. So many ppl buy these high performance vehicles because of their styling and/or for bragging rights but then they just drive them to the store & back on paved roads. What a waste.

@@jeffmills80 I see more jeeps at the mall than anything 😂😂

200k for a bronco? Yes please

They’ll easily be selling this for 50k + over MSRP. Some maybe even 100k over. I wish ford would do something about this.

@@HeyBigChriss I do too Dealers were originally to protect us from markups and now they’re the ones screwing everyone over

Hopefully we won't be saying this in 10 years

Not as bad as if they made an electric version lol

Funny you should say that. From my experience, ford is the company which always fails to deliver what the customers want. Last I checked, they were leaving the markets of Europe, Japan, and South Africa because of poor sales.

​@@ayush885 people here don't have taste...and seeing ur comment, yours is actually poorer

Ford is going bankrupt, and I don't think the Government should bail them out. let them go out of business. FORD'S ARE GARBAGE!!!!!!!

Considering the Mustang out sells the Crapmaro by A LOT...

@@ayush885 In my country I'd say that American brands are seen as neither as luxurious as German ones (except Opel) nor as economical as Japan or Korean ones (other European brands are less common here too, with Volvo & JLR being an exception more recently)

Yep, very astute and indicates they had someone on the design team who has actually wheeled. Turndown exhausts are huge

Yea I'm not even an SUV fan but the new bronco especially the raptor is so good looking. I would buy in a heartbeat if I had the money

@@ephedra443 But the visibility must be a headache in busy urban traffic

Take it to the retirement home bud

@@aidaaliten8817 agreed.

@@REALBanannaman someone had too much broccoli juice.

He's said in other videos he can't run the AC because it messes with the audio too much. That being said, I'd probably sweat worse than Doug

@@AdamG1983 see, I think Doug simply suffers from ocd. The air would not b tht bad on the audio if on low. We’d hear it I’m sure but it wouldn’t drown out good ole dougy boy tho, nothing can.

I don't know who would take a brand new truck rock climbing bro. It definitely is for mall crawling and for people who want to look tougher than they really are. It's basically an ego vehicle.

Good pointers, but most people - most likely right-winged white people - will buy this to flex on their neighbors, because that's what suburban people do. They don't know the first thing about offroad endeavors. LOL. Would be nice to have $70K to risk destroying.

@@brarautorepairs tell me you drive a garbage jeep without telling me you drive a garbage jeep

@@brarautorepairs so? People buy cars like Shelby mustangs and hellcats, with zero intention of ever going faster than 100mph… the capabilities is what sells a vehicle. Not the practicality. The fact ford dealers still can’t keep these on the lots should say plenty,

@@brarautorepairs I’d take this off roaring, I wouldn’t take a G wagon off roading.

That makes 2 of us haha

Same here.

You don't, but less wires to disconnect when the doors are removed. The less you have in the door, the lighter the doors to handle and also less to get damaged when they are removed etc. It's just a smarter move

I think its arguable, because you still need signal and power wires leaving the door anyway, and arguably the switches dont add to the weight of the door, the motor and mechanism is heavy. Simplifying the door is a smart move though, I'd probably do the same but its interesting.

Because some buyers might actually WANT windows?

@@tedschmitt178 windows go w/ the doors.

thats what I was thinking the whole time, its the same connection for the widow motor and once the doors are gone the windows are too, so who cares about the switch when the thing is already... gone

Owners won't even try, they'll just park across two spots and tell you to deal with it.

I do it with my dually lol

I’ve got a lifted 4WD as my “weekend” car and it’s not that much harder to park than my wife’s little crossover. If you see someone parked like an a-hole it’s them not the ride

@@TonyCox1351 same lvld fx4 on 35s still fit well inside the lines

I had a 1978 Chevy Blazer (almost the same size as Branco Raptor) and other drivers simply tried to avoid it 😁

Cries in Chevy blazer 🤣

I think it make it looks cheap. Not a fan.

Agreed, I can't stand most of the new SUVs. Maybe I am finally getting old but they truly are all starting to look the same (GM, European, Japanese, Korean makes). So hard to tell these apart and it has been going in that direction for years. Dodge/Jeep, Landover and a few others still make them unique, but few others. Most of my family has one of these bland versions and I get the impression they don't like my Bronco. Well to bad as you can drive your vanilla SUV all day and I can have my unique looking cool car that can actually do something offroad!

@@panzer948 Eh most land rovers look like incredibly boring overpriced generic SUVS in modern day as well, only very few land rovers look cool.

It’s funny a brick is now considered innovative. I mean it’s a great looking and incredibly fast/capable brick but still a brick.

I’d start it up and blast the AC!

Hope he opens the windows instead of not using the A.C

@@imrytebeehyneu Huh ?

@@pajamatime5750 First off: I wasn't talking to you. Second: he doesn't use the A.C. That's why he's sweating...

@@imrytebeehyneu I get that you weren’t talking to me but your comment made no sense. Thanks for clarifying

But this is the normal upload time right?

@@Jens_Roadster normal upload time but wrong day. Normally every tuesday and thursday is when he uploads. And on the weekend on the other channels.

@@noisyboy5085 he had just one other channel which he has shut down for a while now. He only uploads to this channel now.

@@damilolaakanni wow i didnt even realize that he hasnt uploded to More doug demuro in a year. Sorry i guess you are right. Maybe to focus more on the cars and bids channel and growing this one ?

Today was the day the media was allowed to release their videos and articles of the Bronco Raptor. If he followed his usual schedule he'd be behind everyone else and miss the hype. He did the same thing for the GR Corolla recently.

Practicality and weekend score 9.

Facts!

@@conor7154 Rear spare tire mount is my guess

What’s wrong with the back up camera?

@@ReDEclipsE28 nothings wrong with that, but with the led screen mirror you have a constant unobstructed view of what’s behind you without having to put the car in reverse or mess with the video screen.

@@Johnny-xj5qu have you driven with one of those or used them long term? You don't understand how you expect to look in the mirror and adjust your head position or angle to see more - with a screen you get one static view and that's is. The rear view camera is fantastic on the Bronco and removing the 3rd brake light and going to an internal wheel light will help greatly.

@@D3thM3tal It’s not even a brake light. The light is just the marker light. Doug left out that vehicles over 80 inches wide need marker lights but do not need a 3rd brake light. So you could probably easily mount a set of the marker lights to the back glass of the removable top and then have a set on the roll bar for when you remove the top.

That's what they do with everything.

@@burgerbandit3646 because that’s what people want!

And I would still rather have the 392

@@JohnDoe-nz6bk I like V8's but not nearly enough to pay $75k for that cheap of a vehicle to sound better. It's just outclassed in practically every single category.

@@burgerbandit3646 jeep is not outclassed by any means. If that were true, they wouldn’t continue to have record sales.

There are still relatively affordable cars, even though the average price of all vehicles has gone up. If you just want a regular ass SUV, check out the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe. Decent trims for like $36k. Subarus are pretty good deals, too.

I would just add one word to that statement: "cars and trucks for enthusiasts are only for rich people now a days".

@@theglowcloud2215 Your out of touch if you think 36k is affordable. 20k for a base Corolla if you can find one without markups is already made for the absolute elites of society in my books.

@@baronvonjo1929 sounds like you’re the out of touch one of you think a 20K car is “elite”

@@theglowcloud2215 36k isn’t expensive but it def isn’t affordable for everyone either

And, presumably, before Ford does a GT500 V8-powered version of this!

I’m surprised they haven’t done it already considering they’ve been milking that motor for years

fr

All-out with recalls too, lately.

Come on now grow up!...the doug is the type of guy stuff is SO OVER PLAYED

@@atg1338 yeah, but calling out people for not doing the thing they said they would do isn't!

@@atg1338 U grow up.

@@atg1338 Doug is the type of guy to have followers who hate "Doug is the type of guy" jokes...

@@atg1338 you first, gramps

The infotainment isn't special for the raptor, it's on every bronco (and it's the same ford sync system you find in other ford vehicles like the F-150).

You said “detailed the” twice

Where would this be not street legal and why?

looks like a 6 year old designed it

@@B86432 Looks better than its competitors

@@Sheridantank where did he say that it for sure wasn’t street legal?…

Lol exactly what I would do.

@@onthemoverealestatephotogr9655 Sad.

Well you can’t blame them when it costs 70+k. Why would you risk damaging it

@@timschultes6467 Maybe don't buy an expensive off-road tailored vehicle if you're scared of damaging it and don't even plan on using it for its intended purpose.

@@Teddingtin I’m just saying if they were cheaper more people would probably be a little more daring. Who has a hundred grand to just buy another one

When he said 70k I laughed out loud. The base model is still 30k above msrp. And as long as people keep paying it they’ll keep charging it.

@@Mjohnson409 Dealerships are getting gross at this point.

It's not nearly as difficult as you make it sound. You seriously have trouble telling brakes from turn signals while driving? Or just overthink it?

@2 Corinthians 4:7-11 Yes, I kinda understand the "simpler" design on very old cars, where you would have less bulbs to worry about. But on modern cars with light clusters that always have space for more bulbs, it just doesn't make sense.
