That $1500/month payment will get old after about 6 months of driving back and forth to work.

Ford sent me an email to ask if I had interest in getting on the waiting list. I replied yes. They responded with an apology for getting my hopes up. Thanks a lot Ford.

$80K??? We should be asking if it's worth $125K because we all know it sure isn't gonna be sold for $80k off the lots.

As long as people keep paying this price it’s gonna stay that way. Absolutely nuts to spend that just to say you have a bronco.

Remember when we could actually buy vehicles? This thing will sell for 100k plus.

It's a 55 k vehicle (like most premium vehicles) with a 40k mark up based on the insane vehicles market and we should be fighting the industry. These prices are stupid

Imagine getting on a waiting list, paying a 20k premium and then having the engine fail at 2k miles. 😬

Did you do that in one continuous shot? That was more impressive than the vehicle! Great job to both of you!

If the avg selling price of a 4 door wildtrack is $75k, there’s no way this goes for anything less than $100k… MSRP means nothing now especially with Bronco’s

In 110° heat, and after 2 cups of coffee, Tommy becomes Doug Demuro.

No, and not worth $50K in its low-end versions. This car has been having early engine failures requiring a new engine. Not what you want in a car pretending to be rugged.

They have a massive engine issue. The motors have been blowing left and right.

The Bronco Raptor is not worth the price to me. I’m happy with my Badlands 2 door manual with high package for $47K. I received a “golden ticket” from Ford to order a Bronco Raptor, but I declined. Buying it for resale was a thought, but if the economy tanks between ordering and delivery I didn’t want to get stuck with it at $80K.

That color... Oooff so good... Also I think I am glad they did fenders that way as opposed to the body colour wider fender, that fender extension will do a great job of protecting the body coloured fender out on the trail and be much easier to replace.

No 5.0L V8 under the hood? Has Ford missed the fact that Jeep has a 392 V8 Wrangler?

The extra flares look fine and in the mud you absolutely have to have them if you don't want to be covered in mud. If they had extended the flare as part of the fender, that would look goofier not to mention if it took a hit. I suspect that the flares can be removed if necessary.

Sounds like a kids toy when you Rev it up. I miss all the V8’s

I promise besides the Ford GT, Ford vehicles has some the sloppiest engine bays I’ve ever seen

I only watched until I heard what was under the hood. Is the Bronco Raptor worth 80k? Not without a V8 in my opinion. It's probably capable and can go a lot of places off road but I'm happy with the 5.0 in my F150 which has 37s which was a lot less being a 2014. I'm not unwilling to drive a v6 but I'm not willing to pay over 50k for a vehicle with a v6 in it.

For 80 grand it should have a optional V8.

The question a lot of these videos ask is "Is it worth it?" And the questions are never directly answered. Instead, they say "it is the top of the line vehicle in this lineup" or "the prices do compare with the competition." The real answer is "NO! These prices are not worth it." Please, journalists, start calling out these auto manufacturers and their insanely marked up prices.

Should've just shoe-horned the 5.0 in the engine bay and kept it naturally aspirated. Otherwise, it's pretty dang awesome.

Can’t wait till the new Bronco OJ edition comes out.

Considering that the $US is getting worth less and less every day as the price of everything goes through the roof (thanks Joe) it will be a wonder if Ford can make any money with an 80k MSRP for a loaded one. Good luck trying build one as capable yourself for under 100K

It’s no 392 rubi…that’s for sure

It's funny because I've learned that breaking stuff goes hand in hand with off roading. I would be way too scared to break something on an $80k truck. That being said the only people that are taking these offroad in the conditions it's built for are people who can throw that kind of money around. Which you know, more power to them!

I saw a bronco about a month ago with big tires on it, I believe it was the sasquatch one, it was in a parking lot with the front wheels doing this / \, owner went over a pot hole at 60 km/h and broke a tie rod, he only owned it for like a week 😂

For the dealer or manufacturer - YES we are long overdue for a hard recession. Things have been beyond ridiculous.

Those fenders are hideous, looks like cheap Rubbermaid afterthoughts. Rather have a 392 Jeep

That exhaust note doesn’t compare to a Jeep 392 😂

Does the roof still sound like it’s making popcorn?

Wonder how much over MSRP this one will run and how long before the engine blows and recalls start?

I'd rather have a Jeep 392 XR for that money. All day.

I’m 50/50 with those flares I saw the broncos iconic straight sides when you started and it all made sense. The flares look different for sure but it needs the flat sides to be a bronco I guess.

Meanwhile...stock bronco owners are experiencing catastrophic engine faliure, among other problems after driving only 1500-2500 miles...ALOT of these new cars should be sold as "husks", so whoever buy them can put in whatever Power plant they want.

No way that sells for $80K. Last week I saw a used Bronco on a lot for $76K. The dealers are asking way over MSRP because they overpaid for used vehicles when they couldn't get new ones. Now they have to charge YOU more for a new one to make up for the loss they will take on the used ones. Glad I bought new before the madness started.

Sounds pretty good. Still would like a V8 option though.

Can't get worked up about any car whose combined MPG is 15mpg. Especially one that people take out of town for long adventure trips. Between the high factory sticker, the dealers raping you for more and the cost to drive, this thing is DOA for me.

Tommy, Your reviews and down to earth and real. Keep up the good work.

I passed on the Raptor opportunity: It's too wide and those flares are like clown shoes. I am jealous of the towing increase and the dash display, which actually looks slick and modern unlike the already dated looking one on the regular Bronco, but I still think I made the right move. If I spent a lot of time out on wide desert trails my feelings might change, but for narrower stuff in the mountains here it just didn't make sense, especially for the not insignificant cost increase.

2:33. that's a messy engine bay. way to keep it clean Ford 🤦‍♂️

I couldn’t tell the difference between quite and “loud” mode.

Tommy: “The most over the top, ridiculous 4 wheel drive” Trackhawk: “Am I a joke to you?”

The real question is does this new bronco have the motor issue of the regular ones?? For 80k Let’s hope not.. I do love it! Ford put the 5.2 or 5.0 v8 inside it!!!

Seems like the shocks would have been something to talk about

Overall it's a great package. I just wish everything didn't cost a house payment these days.

I agree on the styling. Imo that's why the DR and the Bronco R looks so badass. The fender was brought out with little flares instead of the other way around. It sucks how everything is so expensive these days but the vehicles themselves are awesome.

I remember when 80 or100k would buy an elite supercar a nice speedboat, or a 3 bedroom block house. Now, you get a truck, high insurance payments and the "privilege" of driving basically a common, upgraded, SUV or truck.

The fender flares are just too much for me.

$100,000 🇨🇦 for that ?! Premium Fuel , Synthetic Oil and a Mortgage payment on the Bronco. Excellent gauge cluster .

I saw 302 on the valve cover and thought "man a 5.0, that's exactly what the people want!" I was wrong. Why not drop a V8 in the Bronco like Jeep did with the Wrangler?

I have a Wrangler 392 and in my opinion no comparison. I also have a Explorer Platinum (same engine different tune). The Wrangler with a naturally aspirated V8 is much better the EcoBoost engines are just not reliable enough (even with early Hemi issues). The exhaust sound reminds me of a tricked-out Honda Civic (I hope it is just your recording). I now realize why Jeep didn't go with 35/37 tires stock. Having to widen the wheelbase, rear lights etc definitely will affect offroading. The Fender extensions can be removed so no big deal, would look worse with widened flares that can't be removed. Looks like Jeep went with letting the customer make mods rather than alter performance to meet standards. The Jeep suspension didn't need many upgrades for the 392, offroaders just wanted more power particularly the low end for rock crawling. The Bronco looks awesome and I do want one but will be badlands with sasquatch.

Open the hood to any Japanese,Korean suv and admire the engineering that goes into getting rid of the spaghetti bowl of tubing, wiring and smog devices and ask yourself where do you add the spaghetti sauce. No every element of a vehicle has to check all boxes. I could not imagine being three hours off of pavement and have something in that hood come loose. Just saying.

the fenders looked bad from when i first saw them but seeing them up close it ain’t the worst definitely gives it a mean stance definitely will turn heads!

80k? The dealerships are gonna mark this up to 120k

$80k means $120k+ once our beloved dealerships get a hold of it.

That green is nice. That price up here in Canada will be over 100k. Crazy. I’m with Tommy, those flares look very homemade. Cheap

At $70k it almost sounds like a bargain. Everything is so damn expensive today

When are you testing its power? I would expect HP eclipsing 500 for a raptor. It’s a well sorted vehicle but 80k is over priced.

F-450 and 550’s had aux switches back turn of the century. But glad to see them being used here as well. Its a useful option in many cases.

80k plus dealer markup of 40k. Sounds like a great deal. ☹️

I think they really missed the mark with this truck. They should’ve put the 3.5 V6 in this and the 5.2 supercharged V-8 in a potential raptor R model

My dream Bronco for sure! Tho i will be getting a 2nd edition Raptor 4dr w/Gen2 - 2.7L GTDI & 37in tires! Can't wait. Great job Ford!! 👍👍

Can’t wait to see the Raptor compared to the jeep w/392!

Great review as always..... I'm anything but a Ford fan. But this thing is pretty cool. 80 G? It ain't that cool!

There’s going to be a lot of people criminally upside down in vehicles from the last 2-3 years.

I'll build my own off roader this thing seems toy "ish" along with the engine /steering problems and the Marked up price tag

I’m 6’4 and I sat in a regular one not the raptor and I thought if I was to go off road or be in a crash I would die. The head rails in the interior seem really low that would be a true head banger. I’m not sure but I only sat in it for 2 mins maybe I’m wrong I hope but the headroom is a safety issue

Pay attention to inventory reports folks. You do not want to go out and pay 80 to 90k for a freaking V6 Bronco as inventory is starting to build up in auto parts suppliers signaling a recession. In 6 months you are going to see manufacturers pushing huge rebates to move these things off the lot.

Don't know if this is the best option right now gas is $7.39 a gallon for premium it cost me $88 to fill up my tank 😱

So how long is the engine going to run before it BLOWS UP???? Ford is having major issues with the 2.7L V6 that it might be going thru a RECALL! I will STAY with my 392 V8 Wrangler Rubicon with Recon Extreme Package that has already saved FIVE BRONCOS including two Sasquatch package models out of trouble and I got to keep the Sasquatch badge for my trouble.

I would put a full body wrap on my Bronco Raptor anyways be it Mossy Oak or a CanPat/MarPat Camouflage pattern on the entire body AND fenders! You can even get the EXTRA THICK 1/16th inch thick vinyl wrap that also adds some tree branch scraping protection. In terms of the driving range, people are reporting, the on-board computers are getting smarter and more accurate in fuel consumption figures and I have found MANY Broncos are getting around 275 to 300 miles OFF-ROAD in heavy 4x4 terrain which is to be expected. That is WHY I am putting the custom built combined bush-bar and heavy duty bumper with winch AND a swing out cage on the back for the FOUR 20 gallon Jerry Cans of fuel (80 gallons and 480 lbs total weight) which is balanced by the heavy duty custom-welded front bumper and heavy duty winch and light bar I will have. And once you take out the back seats and put in your custom 200 litre combo fridge/freezer and 3000 watt Li-Ion camping battery pack and portable solar panel setup, the weight is now full distributed and you can get 1200 miles+ of driving range on even the gnarliest and hilliest of trails. The Bronco Raptor is ideal for me but I STILL can't decide whether to get the Bronco Raptor or the F150 Raptor --- I WISH I could get BOTH but I can only get one! The F150 Raptor carries more camp gear but the Bronco's shorter wheel base gets me to the deeper parts of the North Canadian back country of where the bigger fish are since a lot of people just can't/won't go as far into the back country that I am willing to go! With the setup I envision, my camp gear, my gasoline, propane, food and water supplies I would usually carry are enough to keep me in the backcountry for THREE MONTHS at a time if I drive a few tens of km per day to each deeeeeeep back country lake/river I would be fishing at. V

$80k ... Comes w Rubbermaid roof panels

With gas prices close to $8 here in L.A, this might not be the best time for this truck to come out.

hell naw there is already people saying their engines failing at 2500 miles. I literally just saw an owner of the badlands model on KZfaq stating her rig with 2500 miles on it failed as she was driving smh!!!

"That is a seriously amount of width", exactly what my wife has never said to me.

I think the fenders and flares are they way they are for remove-ability... great vehicles were lucky to have these days...

I also do not like the fender flares. They look like they were just glued on at the last minute. Overall I like it as a desert runner, but it is too wide to be truly effective on a lot of trails.

Depends… does this one have catastrophic engine failure?

Jeep Wranglers are more fun because you can build them the way you want after-market. Bronco factory packages are just status symbols. I still haven’t seen one on a trail. Owners don’t want scratches on their investments, I suppose.

Frustrated buyers are already waiting months for a regular Bronco. Imagine the wait time for a Raptor!

I still take the Jeep 392 extreme recon.

My Ford Bronco badlands with only 4,600 engine blew up and caught on fire 🔥 . filed it with the lemon law getting my money back. I am so pissed off all that time waiting for my Bronco . $80,000 for a Defective V6 piece of junk .

Prices are crazy Scottsdale Porsche is charging $130K over sticker and are sold out what is going on 😝

Wow that sounds like the lawn mower I hear ever Wednesday morning 😂 oh v6!!! I remember my first engine!!!

The flares are terrible but I’m wondering if their hands were tied due to regulations. Wouldn’t surprise me if regulations say there can’t be too much space between the wheel covering and the wheel

For 96% of recorded dealership history, NOBODY EVER paid MSRP for anything. Now due to extreme shortage and some particularly compelling vehicles, people are asked to pay more and they have forgotten about the $BILLIONS of dollars the dealership industry has saved consumers over time.

It needs a 2 door manual version

Regular Bronco sell for $80k. This is $100k+ in today’s stealership world.

The sound will never beat a good V8! But if you like high performance blender sound than this is the vehicle for you.

Imagine paying that just to get an engine failure

I'll keep my lifted Geo Tracker. It's unstoppable.

No it isn't! The base 2 door isn't worth the money either.

As a car enthusiast I love it. As a consumer, no it's not worth $80k. Plus the fuel mileage must be atrocious. Time for us Americans to rethink our energy consumption.

As capable as this Bronco is, its sad because most wont leave the pavement, especially at such a lofty price. I live on the east coast so there isnt much off roading around here. So id say its not worth 80 grand, but i'd be willing to wait 5 years and get one for 30-40.

Those fender flares are similar to what a lot of guys bolt on for desert runner truck builds down here. Local to the area in Riverside county.

Problem is, they won't be able to build them, price is irrelevant really! They all are over priced(all vehicles), so the price will go up from there! Just don't see ford building these at a rate anybody would need them too! 🤷‍♂️

While I think this is an amazing vehicle, the price is absolutely absurd. When you get in the 80 thousand dollar range, even if the focus of the car is on off-roading, you need basic features like power seats. I would also generally expect cooled seats and full leather seats as well. But general material quality just isn’t good either, with cheap plastics everywhere and they didn’t even paint the door handles. I would think a reasonable price would be 57-65 with options.

I just bought one with all the extras for 95k. Pretty good deal I think, considering you'd pay about 20k to upgrade a regular Bronco with this amazing suspension, 37s, etc, etc.

Ford went all in with Ford Bronco Raptor !!! Looks stunning in this green exterior color ! Prefer this to any Jeep ... Slainte' ! Cheers !
