I had a Rubicon 392 and I am picking up a Bronco Raptor on Friday, so I will be able to provide an informed opinion on both. I think the Hemi will be hard to beat with regards to pure fun, but the Bronco wins by far right now in resale.

What are Raptors going for? Haven't really looked into them at all other than a few youtube videos. Always nice if you can order one and have some built in equity when it arrives...

They seem to be going for between $100-$130 on auction sites. The highest was on Bring a Trailer though, so probably a bit of an outlier.

A fool and his money….lol @ paying $25-55k more for a raptor than a 392.

I am not saying they are worth that, but people are paying. I am getting my '22 for $500 under MSRP, pre $5k price increase for '23.

I'd sell that baby ASAP and take the profit, there's no way that's going to hold up for long. You can always order another one later, or take your $20-40k profit and buy another 392 for $8k off.

I hope the best for you, and you don't have the 4-month wait I had. Based on recent delivery times I've seen posted on the Bronco forums it seems Ford has righted the delivery part. Seems the rail strike deal fell through though

But keep in mind yours doesn't have a 6.4L V8 in it, so it sucks...

billnchristy · 10-14-2022, 07:58 AM

Yeah, builds from 9/26 have shipped so it seems like it's moving faster. Rail strike is a concern of course.

As for the v8, I don't think I could suffer any worse fuel economy than the 2.7 is already going to give!

Who's got a base model, 2 door?

You know... the real throwback Bronco.

Well , I have the 2-dr Black Diamond, which is the Base with vinyl interior (vs. cloth) rubber floors, manual transmission and 17" steel wheels. I'd say it's more throwback than the Base. I even have the "base" engine and not the "V8"

We have a base 2 door non sas on order with vin but build date as with every, being pushed back, original build date was 9/26 now to 10/24 I think so we’ll see it when she comes. For us there’s no hurry to it.

Just picked this up yesterday and have already taken it off-road.

Congrats! How does it drive on the road? Does it feel as quick as the F150 Raptor?

It drives really nice. Very smooth. My family even commented on how smooth it feels. It is still in the break-in stage and I don't have any experience with the F-150 Raptor, but it feels decently quick for its size around town.

We're shipped! Should be here in a few weeks.

Congrats! Can't wait to hear when it's in your driveway.

It'll be weird erasing the unicorn horn from the drawing I did at our vacation house. We have a little chalkboard in the kitchen and I drew the bronco when we had a 21 reservation. Had to erase the blue and change it to green when her color was discontinued and I drew a big ass unicorn horn on the hood. I've been updating the dates inside the horn when we go up there.

Railcar supposed to be local Saturday. Hoping everything ready by next weekend.
