In other words, you don’t have enough confidence to use this truck to its full capability and are selling it because you paid way more than you should have for it.

@MrPaynejoh 4 месяца назад

So true. It all depends on what you wanted. Rember, this is a Raptor folks, not a regular Bronco. I love my Outer Banks with the 2.3 liter turbo. It's just what I wanted. And yes, it kills off-road in southern Oregon.

So in other words you aren't selling because of any inherent flaws, you're selling because of your own specific needs that do not apply to anybody else who isn't a RU-vidr wanting a more flashy car to show off on the internet. The unreliability spoof was fake, and the only applicable downsides you mentioned were its size and mpg which is readily available info online.

@Idelia412 6 месяцев назад

I had several small pickups of years ago. I owned a 1978 Toyota Longbed Hilux model which was the bottom model. I paid $5400 for it, no air, no power windows, vinyl seats, etc. It was good to about 150,000 miles and just was falling apart. My best truck I owned was a Ford 1989 Ranger again a stripped model, and paid $7200 for it out the door. I got 267,000 miles out of it before it wore out and would not pass inspection. It was a wonderful truck with 5 speed stick on the floor. Today you cannot buy a basic truck anymore, and the Ford Ranger now has blown up to be a four door which I would not own. I want a truck for hauling with truck cab, not to be used as a family car. Again, you cannot get it with roll up windows, vinyl floor mats and seats. No, they have add a lot of high tech stuff which I do not want.

The wildtrak is a nice bronco. Good suspension, not nearly as wide, and comes with the 2.7 ecoboost that still has lots of power and pushes 17 to 20 mpg.

If the Raptor is overkill, then just go for a lower trim Bronco (better fuel economy, same dimensions on the inside, not as wide on the outside, and unlike the Raptor: available with manual transmission).

@desertchief5769 2 месяца назад

You're not the right owners for it anyway. That thing needs to be driven HARD to get the value out of it. 27,000 miles on mine in 5 states, 2 countries, and countless feet of airtime. Never skips a beat, AND it's my only car/daily driver.

@markcole6475 5 месяцев назад

Typically if you have a purpose for any vehicle , no matter what you pay it won’t be worth the cost……a Bronco Raptor is a specialty rig ….ya either use it for hat it’s built for and risk damaging it, or drive it occasionally and keep as an icon of sorts ….show piece just to have one in a sense …..keep it long enough and it’ll probably go up in value…

I followed someone this winter in one of these down a snow-covered and rutted US40 just west of Denver. The driver had ZERO idea how to drive their truck. Was driving in both lanes, sometimes going sideways, sometimes almost hitting the guardrail. At one point, it looked like he might flip it, blocking both lanes. Obviously, someone with more $$$$ than experience 🙄 They really had no idea how to drive those 35s in the 3 ft of snow. The road was unplowed, and I-70 was closed due to wrecks, stalls, and also being unplowed (the storm blew in quickly, and forecast was for a couple inches). Watching them was reminiscent of a Suzuki SideKick, but the Suzuki was $15k tricked out, not $100k😊

I'm sorry. That sound of a six cylinder just doesn't get it. Wow.

And it sounds way better. 0 to 60 in 4.7 seconds. And it cost me $4780 when I bought it brand new in December 1973. Was that Fargo Canyon in the Coachella Valley?

@nathanmcdonald610 27 дней назад

@Ken-qq6gp 27 дней назад

@nathanmcdonald610 4 is 4 . What's the difference ? Yes hope to achieve those factory power numbers people like premium fuel because it's prices are insane. Sure put regular but then your losing 20% of the power. Especially with that turbo

@nathanmcdonald610 27 дней назад

@@Ken-qq6gp A 4 is a 4 just like a 6 a 6 or 8 an 8 regardless of it's cylinder configuration, but when you're going to comment about perceived problems of a vehicle it helps people take you seriously if you at least know the basics like for example how extraordinarily uncommon a "V4" engine configuration is comparatively to the wide spread use of the I4 configuration. Secondly, this is a performance vehicle, people who spend the money to own and drive one of these likely have very little concern about the fact that it requires premium fuel. That's like someone buying a Ferrari and then bitching because it has to have 93 octane. If your biggest concern is fuel mileage and octane requirement than the chances are the Bronco Raptor isn't very high on your list to begin with. There are plenty of more mild mannered vehicles out there both turbo and naturally aspirated that will operate just fine on regular 87 octane and get better mileage thus suiting your needs better.

So I did not buy a BRaptor, I bought a BAdlands and built it out to what can easily compete with any raptor. Also ANY Bronco or Truck or Jeep running on 35's 37's 40s....well yeah your not going to get MPG from it. If you want a MPG machine, then it will not be a very capable hauler. That is just the name of the game.
