Mitch, when you gonna be CEO of Ford? You should put your name in the hat! I think you would do great.
@@curtl1694 He'll have to learn how to learn NOT to say whole nuther level first. CEO cailber people dontt talk that way.
It's a beauty, but once most dealers mark them up 50k over msrp it takes the regular guy out of it.I quit doing all my F150 service business with a dealership that had a Badlands on the floor marked up 35k.
Exactly - we decided to sell our Edge & buy Nissan. We can't justify Ford's pricing doing now BEFORE the dealership even does their markup. I was a loyal Ford customer since the 1980's but not anymore.
If you see additional dealer markup RUN, do not walk away. You don’t need the vehicle that badly to be PT Barnum’s sucker. Do not feed the beast!
good choice
IMO … the HUGE dealer markup is complete BS… but if you drive one. …OMG how can you walk away 💜❤️💜❤️💗💯
@@adventureswithgnomie6553 find a better dealer! Buy a Nissan!? You will be disappointed.
Probably the most concise and honest review yet, great job! 2 questions, first can you order the leather seats but delete the carpet and stick with the rubberized flooring? And secondly, what is the weight capacity on the spare tire reinforcement accessory bracket? Can it hold a 70lb Pro Eagle Jack? Thanks again for a great job and keep those videos coming!
Best and most honest review of any vehicle I have ever seen!!
Just bought a Bronco Raptor and I’m OBSESSED! Great detailed coverage on this one-of-a-kind truck! It’s truly extraordinary!💙
HOW MUCH OVER DID U HAVE TO PAY???
I really enjoy your well reasoned commentary on the Bronco. I think it is incredible that Ford can build so much capability into the Bronco Raptor for under $80K. I still wished they had named this one the warthog.
It’s named the Warthog but only for internal lingo. It’s the warthog edition on the oasis page of the vin in fords internal site.
No bud its under 135 k
No bud its under 135 k
No bud its under 135 k
The Warthog name is Epic
I’ve got a 2021 FE 4 door with a 2.7. I drove over wolf creek pass to Moab spent a couple of days on the trails then back over wolf creek pass and La Veta pass then on to Buena vista for the celebration and back home. My mileage was 18.9 miles per gallon with Premium fuel. IMO that’s amazing!
Great video as always. You have been very helpful in our Bronco Journey. We have a Badlands, 2.7L, Sasquatch, Lux, Modular HD Bumper, Brush Guard in Race Red with Soft Top. Our only regret is that we could not get the hardtop at the time. That is what we need for travel security. We have all the hard to get bits, but need a hardtop. We were lucky, but I ordered in the first week and it still took a year and a half. I know there is one supplier that can do a aftermarket hardtop, but I am surprised that more have not come up with good hardtop options.
Another great and informative video Mitchell. One of my buddies has this exact black Braptor en route. I guess I'm "stuck" with my Wildtrak for now!
I wish they would build a 2 door raptor,and rethink the flares.I’m trying to decide between a badlands or wild track 2door with the hoss package.the raptor definitely has some nice features..
I'm very happy with the disconnecting sway bar in the badlands. I personally do not think the wildtrak is worth it, I would much rather go an everglades. That being said I do greatly enjoy the 2.7 in my badlands.
We will help with those flares💪🏻
LET’S GO!
Cool rig Mitchell. I hope my dealer gets one for test drives. For now I will have to be content with my Black Diamond which is supposed to be here by EOM. This is the third delivery change, so we shall see. Thanks and good info.
Very good and honest review!
I live in El Paso Tx, and I’d love to buy a Bronco from you all. I love your videos and how straight forward and transparent they are. I’m guessing that bleeds over into your sales.
Such an awesome beast!! I took delivery of my 22 Bronco Badlands with Lux non Sas about a month ago and mine has the home link on the sun visor. I guess it was a new option they added for the 22 models
I can attest... They do honor MSRP at T&C. Thank you for my Badlands!!
Wow, you guys reviewed this guy quickly. I work with United Road as a dispatcher and we deliver there often. Funny how you guys reviewed that 1 block down at the civic center! These bad boys are rare.
I own the 2021 bronco sport big bend and I love it.
Just a note, the 23 Raptor lux package shows the temperature on the dials as well. Love your video on this.
I love that you sell for Msrp.. I am def coming t&c for my truck
Nice job! What shades ya rockin Mitchell?
5 minutes in and I knew I wanted one
It's a beauty & truly amazing vehicle! To those complaining bout dealer markups I say find a better dealer! They are out there. Waiting on my new '23 Bronco Raptor now! 💯👍🏻
Nice job Mitchell. You are right no difference in the sound of the muffler.
Thank you for your honest reviews. Will you be advising us when “new” orders will begin being taken? We are driving all the way there to buy from you and just want a 2 door base with every few options.
*MY* Bronco has hood struts! Of course, I had to add them myself. Bought the IAG struts -- I like 'em! Definitely a required mod, IMHO.
Awesome work. Thank you. Very detailed. SHARP vehicle and sharp dresser. You two were meant for each other. Lol
It looks super cool... I'm wondering how it will do when the trail is a bit narrow? I was curious if I could put the raptor suspension on my badlands sasquatch?
Really?? Ok don't laugh, but how do I hit you up lol.
Man i love my focus st recaro seats and im a short fat guy. The engine choice is why 3.0 instead of the 3.5L. great video thanks for posting it.
The instrument cluster is so much nicer than other Bronco trims. What is confusing is if you check the owner manual, it shows that this version was planned for trims with the 12” display
The msrp is about 70 grand but because of Covid, people are being greedy that vehicle is not worth 135 grand. U can keep it, it’s sad what these dealerships are doing to the ford brand.
MSRP sales! You rock! TC Ford#1
AKA, "required if you want to keep selling fords"
Glad you ditched the sandals, LOL.
Love the BRaptor, but I would never pay that much.
BTW, GBO
🤣😂
Amazing !!
I couldn't afford the Raptor, but I did get the Bronco Outer Banks 2 door hard top for how much I built it for in Nebraska.
I love my Bronco!!!
Aren’t all 2 doors hard top? I didn’t see a soft top option.
Yes,and the hardtop I got is the updated version, so it's very quiet.
They do have a aftermarket soft top edition for the 2 door but I actually like the 2 door with the hardtop and just buy a cover for when you want to cruise with top off and not worry about rain
Nice to hear that you’re not taking advantage of your customers by charging above MSRP. Wish all dealers had your sense of ethics and appreciation for their customers 👍
I'd still request to see their invoice for what they paid to get the vehicle from it's manufacturer.
Mitchell totally agree about the fender flares, the rear ones are ugly but functional. Great video as always.
“Ugly but functional” can have its own appeal. 😊👍🏻
Как увидел этот автомобиль не могу спать,это думаю лучший авто в мире!
85k is fine but for 135k it better have a supercharged 5.0 with a 10 speed.
It's missing a V8.
another V8 post. Give it up dude its never happening. Hemi is too heavy also
High $60’s is what I can justify. I think $85k is unreasonable for the value the customer gets.
To sell a ford at land rover prices is insane
I have a question for you. I watched one of your videos that mentions your dealer will not charge over MSRP. I am wondering if that is the case for all the Town & Country dealers. I found one near Nashville, and I am planning to head over there some time soon if that's true. Thank you!
I have a 2023 Outer Banks, 4-door, V6...I absolutely love it. I haven't hit 300 miles yet. I can't wait till I hit that magical 1000 mile break in!!! But I find it weird that the Raptor doesn't have the temp built in to the dual climate control dials....In mine, they are there!! Our local dealership has a 50k market adjustment on the Raptor....soooo, that is out of the question!!!
Maybe Ford could add rear view mirror camera for the obstructed view and blue tooth speakers in the doors for door removal. Great video!
I honestly don’t understand why they didn’t
Beautiful.
I have the programmable grange thingy in my 2022 wildtrack not just in the raptor
Ford could have put a digital rear view mirror in it like on the newer Jeeps. My 2022 JGC Overland has a digital rear view mirror in it. They use a camera on the back of the vehicle. It has a separate backup camera. I think Audi or Range Rover has them in the newest models.
Ford's crazy building only limited number. It's the best overall stock off-road vehicle as per Lite Brite.
If I have a 2022 wildtrack can I upgrade to the hoss 3.0 at the dealer?
Considering ordering one and trading my Wildtrak … does the Raptor Bronk still have the same tow rating??
Great video. I would need a hoyer lift to put my mother in one of these. 😅
Probably getting a Black Diamond
The black fenders are one of the best parts
I really appreciate your reviews! Great job pointing out all the details on this Raptor model! I own a 2021 Badlands Lux (not a Sasquatch) and absolutely love it. Also have an Expedition Timberline and F-150 Tremor, but the Bronco is my favorite; I drive it every chance I get.
Maybe with a Whipple blown 5.0 in it with bumper to bumper 10yr/100k
They should have a sucker emblem, 150k could buy a full currie 1967 Ford bronco w 460 big block, 5 link suspension, and don't need to remove 17 bolts to use w/o running boards.
Lite brite has a video on this app f road! Very good video! Looks very capable on trails.
stupid name. Lite Brite? Like the kids toy from the 70's?
24:00 Regarding the lack of rear visibility... I have a van with no rear windows. Its not hard to get used to. Maybe get full time rear camera if its too much.
Homelink is 100% included on a badlands lux. Might want to double check that
I like it, but would not spend over MSRP for it. It looks great in black.
Look at you all dressed to impress.
The skid plate is a definite eye catcher. Removable step bar - Sweet.
If this was a Transformer, what wold you call it? I'm thinking; Flexalator.
I'm waiting for the bronco raptor triceratops model to come out !
Got one for sticker. Worth every penny.
Ford should've made the rearview mirror electronic with a camera. I'm very surprised this didn't happen at the outset and for the exorbitant price.
Nobody needs this truck...too bad you can’t afford it;(
Pure troll. You have no idea who he or she is? Could say dame about you. Jeep troll
If i buy directly from the official Ford dealer the msrp is retain?
My dealer was selling Raptor for $500 below MSRP with a 2022 allocation of 10. I could have easily been one of the top 3 on the list but stuck with my Badlands as I was already above what I initially budgeted.
Do you know if they're still available? I would love to own one, been talking to so many dealers without any fruit.
@@JohnJohnson-se4uu Raptors were assigned by what my dealer refered to as "hand raisers" basically Ford sent us an email that asked if we wanted a Raptor and the dealer then went down their list of orders based on reservation timestamps. They had an allocation of 10 with 7 actually getting ordered. My dealer thought the 3 unclaimed 2022 Raptors would go to their 2023 allocation but were incorrect as they lost them. They have 3 2023 Raptor allocations, all of which are spoken for.
I did get my Badlands in July at -$1000 below invoice. It had an MSRP of $57800 and it ended up costing me $52700. The dealer was Stephens Auto Center in West Virginia.
@@Liq38 Interesting, looks like I may just have to stick toa few dealers and wait it out until some of them may have an allocation open up. Thank you
$15k mark up happened to me in SoCal on my Bronco order. Day 1 reservation…😅
These are basically unicorns, mythical creatures, gold at the end of a 🌈. If you think you getting one anywhere close to MSRP. I bet maybe 10 or 20 in the US will get for the actual retail price. The few that do get it for MSRP will basically be so the dealer can say they sold one at MSRP.
The review is good, the only thing I find dissapointing is that the guy never mentioned the cameras, the possibility of having the rear camera on all the time to have a better visibility, and the other option of turning the front camera on to do some rock crawling.
Other than that, was a good review, I suscribed.
I Agree only black looks good on the Raptors unless they would do body colored fender flares. If Ford ever offers the Raptor in Antimatter Blue with Leather trim seat that would be irresistible !
No mark ups. MSRP Only! Anyone who pays over MSRP is getting ripped off!
Depends maybe 5k over for immediate availability is not bad that the moment
It’s a shame that ford couldn’t give the bronco that lcd and stabilizer disconnect in the wild track but other than that I love mine
How tall are you? I didn’t catch it in the video
Very cool. I'm so glad you didn't call it a "Braptor"! LOL
What Ford need is to make a descent PHEV version to both F150 and Bronco: driven exclusively by electric motors, leaving the ICE to only recharge the battery. This way they could slash the fuel consumption by several times, as the electric motors are way more efficient: 95% versus 25% of the combustion engine - also, vast amounts of instantaneous torque at low RPM. This also enables the ICE engine to be much smaller and operate at optimum rotation for efficiency and durability, without the need to change the engine RPM. This PHEV implementation also enables to utilize a way smaller battery comparing to a BEV - a fraction of what the Lightning have.
They did put a V8 in the Bronco. It's the DR version with the coyote engine. Just in the neighborhood of 250,000 though 🙃
Check out Lite Brite Nation channel if you want to see people actually using these how they were intended. Every channel is the same spec rundown.
Love mine. Paid MSRP. Has rear cup holders in the armrest and power seats in the front. Also get 16 mpg on the highway and average 15 mpg. Pretty good considering 37 inch tires and horrible aerodynamics.
Where did you get yours?
Any squeaks/rattles? Does it require premium gas?
@@JohnJohnson-se4uu Day one reservation holder. Was fortunate that Ford gave me option to switch my order back in March. One of the first built with a VIN under 75. Made sure I got in writing that it was being sold at MSRP from general manager so they couldn’t pull any games. Purchased in NJ dealership.
@@jameswillard1 No squeaks or rattles. Yes a little wind noice at highway speeds but not enough to bother me. 1500 miles and only used regular gas. Generally average 70-75 on the highway. Had a 2019 Colorado ZR2 Bison with 33 inch tires before and gas mileage wasn’t much better.
@@chipott3705 Well played, sir. Search will go on for me, will just have to be quick next time there's something announced that looks good to immediately contact my dealer.
Hi I’m 6’-3” and I’m from Alabama.
Guys, he's 6'3".
Im 6'4"
Nice review, would you pay a ADM of 40% or 30k over MSRP though for a Raptor Bronco? Our dealer is holding our day 1 order that Ford allowed us to convert to a Raptor hostage saying we have to now pay that markup. Curious if you didn't have this channel if you'd still pay that premium.
I would not pay that markup. If it were me, I’d give that dealer an opportunity to fix that privately. But if they are holding your reservation hostage, i would light that dealer up publicly.
This infuriates me. I’m so sorry you’re going through this.
Do you have any insights of when Ford does open the order banks again for none reservation holders? Right now, dealers can only order for their stock inventory, low trim models. Luckily, that's all I am looking at, however I haven't found a dealer that would sell me a stock bronco without a markup. I have a A/Z pin ready, for the discount. My dream build: 4Door, Base or Big Bend in Eruption Green with a keypad and aux switches for an A/Z plan price.
Wondering as well! Really would love to own one.
Why don’t those fender flairs come off like the regular Bronco has them with easy tabs to remove for off reading?
I think ford was saying something about when high speed dessert running they wouldn’t just pop off
The road presence of the Bronco Raptor is like nothing I've seen before. Some guy was test driving one while I was driving with my wife in my new badlands......that looked like a baby toy next to his Raptor. We could still see him like a mile back on the freeway. It was messed up 🤣🤣
I'd like to get those fog lights
Can you use the rear camera to look at who is behind you?
Yes, but I think it cuts off at 15mph.
@@TCcustoms_ maybe Ford can program that into the software so you can use it as a rearview mirror?
I will stick with my 2 Door Bad Lands lux @ MSRP thank you.
Don't pay above sticker! Prices are dropping fast just like on the Normal Bronco!! 23's have been hitting the market for weeks.
This is a dream car. You can’t afford it. Forget it.
I have been trying to find a place that will take my order. No place has an allocation for one. It is very frustrating.
The 22MY and 23MY was hand selected by Ford based on unscheduled Bronco orders or reservations. Aka hand raiser or golden ticket holder. It’s yet to be an open order. Some dealerships have hijacked the opportunity to buy one from people selected by Ford. Keep in mind Raptor allocations belong to the dealerships at the end of the day and they set the prices like it or not. Kuddos for T&C Ford for selling at MSRP. You won’t find this anywhere else.
I've seen a bronco raptor for sale at 149k which is absolutely ridiculous
I had an Eddie Bauer edition I’m in the market for a new SUV I can’t see why I would spend the much on a Bronco wow it do look good I was looking at a new Bronco I’m going to keep searching for a new SUV.
The way that upper management is making decisions, it wouldn't surprise me if instead of a Raptor R, they'll probably elect to go with a Raptor Mach-e!😳
Thanks for this review. I’m interested in people’s opinion if this is actually worth the price Ford is charging for this vehicle. In Canada it is listed at $120,000.00, which in my opinion is too high. I think since COVID manufacturers are taking advantage of customers. I think this vehicle should be around $90,000.00 CAD.
Most incredible off road vehicle to ever hit the market. And I’m going to review it in this parking lot in my slacks
I'm looking at your website right now & I see at least a $5,000 up to $10,000 mark-up on Bronco Raptors...
Magnifique
Here in Australia F150s are well over 100k as well as Rams Chevy trucks. Goodness knows how much this will cost here
nice .. for those who got to order one at msrp and buy ,desert season in starting will I see any at glamus , ocotillo , Johnson valley ??no . rodeo drive , las Vegas strip yes . lot of greedy sellers car flippers on ebay motors, good place to ck to see what they really sold for
Waiting for the bronco sport raptor....
well actually not, but maybe TC Customs will start the clamoring with an awesome customization for us viewers.
i honestly thought it was a jeep wrangler from the top down rear view lol 04:37
As long as I can pull my Ripsaw F4 - I'm good
F150 Raptor-R or Bronco Raptor or get BOTH? If I had the money I would get BOTH! AND I would get the upcoming US version of the Ranger Raptor and eventual Maverick Raptor -- I really LIKE off-road vehicles!
