That intro with the sunrise/sunset and the Bronco Raptor would make an awesome screencapture poster! Really nice! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
This video made me homesick. I grew up in Candelaria, we used to bomb around that desert every chance we got. I moved away in 1971. I haven't been out there in twenty years. I'm comin' back soon. Thanks Matt!
I visited Kriver campground. (Moyers Oklahoma) Some of their ideas could help on the resort. From the treehouses, to the glamping tents? Was pretty cool.
100% agree with you that they need to make a true fullsize raptor bronco based on the truck. I have a 93 bronco and i love how it has all the fun aspects of a bronco with some of the capability and size of a pickup.
I just got the new ranger raptor. Buy one of them if you want the fun of a bronco in a pick up. It's a beast. We got it early here in Australia. I think you guys get it start of 2024
got yerself a taste for trail riding! much respect for your driving smarts by keeping a comfortable following distance. i don't think that the massive dust clouds would be too difficult to follow! ✌️🐝➕
I love that you loved the experience. It always brings me joy to see people having fun with and enjoying their vehicles, be it off roading or sporty driving or track use. The automobile is a symbol of personal freedom and with trucks like these Raptors and all the others and their incredible capabilities, is now better than ever. PS. If you're willing to sacrifice SOME offroad-ability, but have a great daily, with a supercharged v8, the latest Escalade V is a crazy fast luxurious SUV with good ground clearance.
XPO Gear makes what they call Gullwings for the rear windows of Jeeps that look functional and pretty cool. IDK if they plan to make any for any other vehicle other than Jeep though.
Hey Matt, I love the idea of a Raptor but with an enclosed bed. I'd tell them to call it The Daily. The slogan can be: "The Daily, because it'll handle ANYTHING you need to do on any given day". Hauling heavy loads or hauling the kids to school, this rig has you covered. And maybe put a glass roof in it with that electric fogging feature for sunny days.
Bronco fits better than my last run. 10 years ago I went on an animal charity run with a Focus ST among porche, audi v12's, merc c63, a few toyota 86's.. and there even was a Ferrari California. I had the time of my life, But I was very much out of place. At one point the porche sat behind me in one of the best twisty roads in SA. Felt so so bad. There was no space for pulling over. I have not returned due to the fact that I did not belong in that group. I still have the need to support rescues, and animal shelters. That weekend many would have thought of me as the laughing stock.
Ford needs to take a page out of Stellantis' book. Stellantis has Hellcat everything, Ford needs to have Raptor everything. Imagine how legit a Mustang Raptor would be. It would fit right in with the current safari trend. Super Duty Raptor, able to pound the Earth into submission? Absolutely. Maverick Raptor, able to tackle taller than usual curbs? Why not?
That’s how it goes with friends, few close ones around all the time. Can’t say it’s any different for me, except I’m not loaded so nobody would call them an entourage.
I like how you got a Bronco R awhile back that was "just sitting on the lot" when it has a nearly 2 year back order according to my dealer and they have been atleast a year out for a long time...
When your talking about things being stolen it doesn’t matter if it’s a pair of shoes or a tank, it’s about the value always be it cash value or sentimental. Firearms are no different then anything else in regards to value, if something is going to be stolen everyone would rather loose a less valuable item then a more valuable.
You missed it this year, but next year you have to bring your Braptor up the the silver lake sand dunes in Michigan for the 10th annual bronco takeover! We had hundreds of broncos out on the dunes this year, and will for sure have tons more next year!
Matt. You need to take the top off. We love having the top off our Bronco. Definitely grab a bimini top though. 😉 And stay away from the soft molle panel for rear tail gate. It’s held on with sticky sided Velcro and will absolutely fail in the Texas heat with any weight on it. Look into the the fold down table with built in molle panel. It’s metal, permanently mounted, holds the weight, and plus you have a table when need it. Also, they make rubber covers for the back of the rear seats. No clue why Ford did a rubber cargo floor and then carpeted the back of the rear seats. The rubber pieces just adhere to the carpeted back like Velcro would. They also match the storage area floor and make a nice full rubber cargo floor when the rear seats are are down. Plus no dog fur sticks to the back of the seats. .
You know, when you describe how you wish the Bronco was shaped, you are describing the Hummer H3. My dream Hummer would be the H3T Alpha with the 5.3L Vortec V8.
You should check out the bumper company up in Paris, Texas. It's called Bodyguard Bumpers and my son used to work for them full time, but now working one day a week for them.
If you can find one that hasn't been run into the ground or rusted out, go for it. The platform is pretty reliable and easy to fix. There is still a lot of aftermarket support and knowledge. If you're concerned about fuel economy a Raptor is not for you.
Beautiful views, and lots of fun. Looked like a great time. Where's Mere been? See Mikey and Jenna more than her, praying everything is good with the family. Take care bro.🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲
The price difference between the two is like 20k plus, I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more sophistication in the Bronco Raptor’s suspension! The Ranger Raptor could possibly be lighter, though…So it could be quicker to 60 and in the quarter mile🤔(I remember Gen 2 Lightnings that were running low 10’s to high 9’s in like 05-07ish…the 5.4’s bottom end was good to like 900hp before you had to get into changing the crank/pistons/con rods…)
Man that long travel chevy silverado is my favorite truck out of this whole video, that thing looks sick! Honestly its cool that someone sets all this up, I'd love to head out and do something like that in my GMC great video! 💯🔥
Matt just invented the Raptor Excursion with his mind. Throw in a snappy 6.7 diesel and you have the ultimate offroad, towing, AND family vehicle. Provisions for four points on all three rows? Five point in front row, maybe? Sweet. It can still be a 3/4 ton or 1 ton to get around some emissions stuff. Also, Matt, you need to change cabin and engine air filters after that day. That was a lot of dust.
Just a few minutes into the video and I can't believe you totally ignored the fact that there's a miniature bread truck right behind you. It's so freaking cool LOL
Now Matt, I understand that’s Giggle bunnies ride. Like her daily driver. You gonna be in the dog house when you get back. Hey, that is some awesome country out there. It had a beauty like you never would dream. And the colors can change by the second looking off across the valley or meadows. It’s a paradise hidden in a desert. Everyone should try to goat some time or another. Some great work in the video.
Dude, that desert topography is BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL!! Glad you got your cameras and drones so we could see all that awe-inspiring glory!
Never drove. Bronco looks like a toy.
I’d love to see Matt check out the Utah desert one day. It’s gorgeous
Top Gear: Demolition Ranch Special
Yes sir.
OMG could you imagine Clarkson, May and Hammond trying to bullet proof their cars to survive a trip through Demo ranch???
There is nothing Matt can't do
@@neilorange4112money talks.
I can just hear matt shouting,
MIKEY!!! 😂
Matt, we need more Demolition WRENCH! We haven't had much of those since you rented that small shop with your first Bronco.
No!
living vicariously through you brother. Looks like an absolute blast. Thanks for the break from reality.
I wish I had a dollar for every time Matt said Raptor.
I'd be able to put a down payment on one. 😂😂😂
ha ha
That paper airplane throw will be an amazing memory for that little boy! So cool!
I still laugh my a$$ off every time I see the ending w/Mere in the car & Matts controlling the hydraulics…priceless👍🏼
*EVERY* .darn .time, d00d!
hilarious and adorable
Love how Matt justifies purchases to him self lol
Hennessy makes the exact rig you’re looking for! They take a raptor and graft on expedition/excursion parts to make an suv raptor.
That sounds awesome!
That intro with the sunrise/sunset and the Bronco Raptor would make an awesome screencapture poster! Really nice! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
This video made me homesick. I grew up in Candelaria, we used to bomb around that desert every chance we got. I moved away in 1971. I haven't been out there in twenty years. I'm comin' back soon. Thanks Matt!
I have a feeling that trip was dual purpose. Fun and inspiration for the desperado resort.
100%. I definitely want to see a bunch more mini resort type properties for ideas!
@@OffTheRanch off roading at the desperado ranch?? I’ll bring the Jeep!
I visited Kriver campground. (Moyers Oklahoma) Some of their ideas could help on the resort. From the treehouses, to the glamping tents? Was pretty cool.
Great video, even better soundtrack, spicy amounts of bass!
Great video Matt! Love the desert scenery! Your video production and editing is super cool. Kudos to your team for great content.
Summer river vlogs with beers and you talking (even about random stuff) with Clint and Jenna. Can't Wait! :D
100% agree with you that they need to make a true fullsize raptor bronco based on the truck. I have a 93 bronco and i love how it has all the fun aspects of a bronco with some of the capability and size of a pickup.
If you can't buy it, build it. Matt would get lots of views on a build like that.
I just got the new ranger raptor. Buy one of them if you want the fun of a bronco in a pick up. It's a beast. We got it early here in Australia. I think you guys get it start of 2024
Remake the Ford Metropolitan o.O
I was just thinking he is explaining an early 90 bronco built out like a raptor lol
What an awesome chill day, always good to get some "me time". Which doesn't have to be alone, just what you enjoy doing
got yerself a taste for trail riding! much respect for your driving smarts by keeping a comfortable following distance. i don't think that the massive dust clouds would be too difficult to follow!
✌️🐝➕
I am surprised you don't take Linc with you on more of these adventures you go on!
Looks like Matt is gonna be sending the Bronco to the shop for some performance upgrades 😂😂😂.
I love that you loved the experience.

Excursion Raptor R would be dope!
Saw a Raptor R F150 for the first time 2 days ago and it was the coolest truck in the stock catigorie by far! 😁
Would be nice to be in a group like that, sounds like fun.
XPO Gear makes what they call Gullwings for the rear windows of Jeeps that look functional and pretty cool.
IDK if they plan to make any for any other vehicle other than Jeep though.
It's badass that you can make that high quality of a video with just a phone.
Looks like so much fun just driving around in the dust and dirt and pressure testing the engine.
just checked out your videos, stay strong and keep kicking ass! 👍
@tylermallory2504 thank you I will, so excited for the day when I'm better.
Good clean fun!
All the music was good.
The camera work on the gliders was killer. You're a good man and we appreciate how you share yourself.
Love Texas Raptor Runs! Looking to get a Gen 3 next year and go on one. Looks like such a fun experience.
I just bought the new ranger raptor and it's a beast. They are so insane.
I love it. That Texas scenery is beautiful.
I love off the ranch and Demolition ranch!

Molle tracks would definitely look good on the Bronco.

I'm a simple guy. I see a new OffTheRanch/DemoRanch/VetRanch video and I hit play immediately. Thanks yall
I always wished they made a Raptor edition of the Expedition. The Raptordition, Raptediton? That would be nice. Room with Zoom!
Ford needs to take a page out of Stellantis' book. Stellantis has Hellcat everything, Ford needs to have Raptor everything. Imagine how legit a Mustang Raptor would be.

Bc you dilute the brand, look at bmw and M……used to be something really special seeing one. Not anymore. Same can be said about Stelantis.
The Yukon at4 sounds like it’s your ideal suv you literally just described it
Thank you, liked this video , plenty of nice scenery, nice trunk
You know what this means, more upgrades for Mere's ride!
Nice to see you chilling out. Without your normal and seemingly constant entourage.
That’s how it goes with friends, few close ones around all the time. Can’t say it’s any different for me, except I’m not loaded so nobody would call them an entourage.
I like how you got a Bronco R awhile back that was "just sitting on the lot" when it has a nearly 2 year back order according to my dealer and they have been atleast a year out for a long time...
The only want to sell the truck, they dont have to say anything truthful.
If it helped sell it they would have said it was half off😂
just got in from afternoon's machining stainless steel a welcome distraction, a good chill thanks Mat
"If it gets stolen it gets stolen..." Thought safety might be a bit more of a concern than the value of the pew pew
When your talking about things being stolen it doesn’t matter if it’s a pair of shoes or a tank, it’s about the value always be it cash value or sentimental. Firearms are no different then anything else in regards to value, if something is going to be stolen everyone would rather loose a less valuable item then a more valuable.
Great meeting you holmes, we had a fantastic time!
That was a beautiful sunrise, a great memory there.
Also reading between the lines, Did Matt just say, "if I went faster than you I would have won"?
Missed this year...need to take my BRaptor out there next year. Looks like a blast.
Looks like fun so beautiful in the desert thanks for the enjoyment !!!
Great episode! Like the good old days!
Yes a wonderful episode!
I've seen a Colorado ZR2 Bison that was LS3 swapped in the trails here in the old Canadian forests
It’s been a while since I watched you man! I just came across your channel again and man am I glad I did!
Traitor
I just bought the new ranger raptor and it's a beast. I love it so much
You missed it this year, but next year you have to bring your Braptor up the the silver lake sand dunes in Michigan for the 10th annual bronco takeover! We had hundreds of broncos out on the dunes this year, and will for sure have tons more next year!
Love the quirks and features
These videos keep on getting better by far the best channel I've ever subscribed too... love these videos man ❤❤❤
A few videos back, I noticed a white GMC Yukon AT4 in the garage at Matt’s house. Wonder if that’s Mere’s new daily.
2:15 me-- wants to see more of this little truck 😂😂😂 yeah my brain works funny like that
You gotta love this guy. Carrying a ridiculous pewpew just because it fits so well in its compartment.
How can you not relate to that?!lol
I love how he just pans over the mini ups truck
Matt. You need to take the top off. We love having the top off our Bronco. Definitely grab a bimini top though. 😉
And stay away from the soft molle panel for rear tail gate. It’s held on with sticky sided Velcro and will absolutely fail in the Texas heat with any weight on it.

H3 interior is small AF... it looks like it got room, but it doesnt
@@aiwoor And Bronco does? This is why Matt wants the Excraptor.
You should check out the bumper company up in Paris, Texas. It's called Bodyguard Bumpers and my son used to work for them full time, but now working one day a week for them.
It’s always a good day when he posts!
Your ranch will be twice as cool as this, given time and work
Would anybody recommend the first gen 2011-2012 raptor? I'm lookin at one and would appreciate feed back. Thank you!
@callumwright7459 , yea I know about Matt's old raptor, I'm just lookin for info from anybody that's got one or had one
If you can find one that hasn't been run into the ground or rusted out, go for it. The platform is pretty reliable and easy to fix. There is still a lot of aftermarket support and knowledge. If you're concerned about fuel economy a Raptor is not for you.
Since the cave dig going so slow. Going back a watching old vids cant believe i forgot about this gem. That place looks so fun
Drinking game video: Every time Matt says 'Raptor" take a swig.
I have stuff to do this weekend, Meh screw it I’ll do them when I come to. Sometime next week.
Beautiful views, and lots of fun. Looked like a great time. Where's Mere been? See Mikey and Jenna more than her, praying everything is good with the family. Take care bro.🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲
What an awesome adventure!!!
Phone camera is actually amazing to be honest! do it more often.
It has the same basic powertrain as the new Ranger Raptor. I'd love to see how it compares.
The price difference between the two is like 20k plus, I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more sophistication in the Bronco Raptor’s suspension! The Ranger Raptor could possibly be lighter, though…So it could be quicker to 60 and in the quarter mile🤔(I remember Gen 2 Lightnings that were running low 10’s to high 9’s in like 05-07ish…the 5.4’s bottom end was good to like 900hp before you had to get into changing the crank/pistons/con rods…)
@Demo - they make yellow or orange spray tint that works wonders on light bars to have it match your lights
In the next episode of Of the Ranch I'll discuss how thieves broke into the Bronco 😮
Man that long travel chevy silverado is my favorite truck out of this whole video, that thing looks sick! Honestly its cool that someone sets all this up, I'd love to head out and do something like that in my GMC great video! 💯🔥
Matt has like $15k just in the bumpers alone of his Bronco lmao.
Matt the videos are always great but your music selection is the ultimate
Here we thought from the buying the Bronco video that this was Mere’s daily driver. 😂🤣😂
Mere has the red one...right?
What Demo Matt is saying, FORD, is, he (and I) want a Raptor Expedition!
Congratulations! Your 100k raptors just accomplished something a 30 year old Subaru can do.
Go graduate!
@@MrWeusi triggered much?
@@jaradhightower2477 huh???? I'm being positive , what do you mean sir?
Raptor Assault is fun AF. Get to go with the purchase of a Raptor. Have to get yourself there but totally worth it.
Never make it sound like ur ok with a pew being stolen!!!
Calm down Nancy, nobody cares about your opinion.
Matt just invented the Raptor Excursion with his mind. Throw in a snappy 6.7 diesel and you have the ultimate offroad, towing, AND family vehicle. Provisions for four points on all three rows? Five point in front row, maybe? Sweet.

Also, Matt, you need to change cabin and engine air filters after that day. That was a lot of dust.
"If it gets stolen, it gets stolen. It's not like really expensive" is an insane thing to say about a firearm. So irresponsible
That's some tracking skills on the plane there geez
Matt. It's time to upgrade to a 1440 and 4k camera. The people deserve quality! Keep it up!
Fun to drove, that beautiful bronco raptor, beautiful yellow lights in evening!! Awesome video!🤗🎸🇺🇲🎶🤟❤️
You da man Matt !! Not only do you know how to WIN but you look good doin it too !!
Love that your the only big youtuber I've seen buy one , i need a cool build video
A very worthwhile trip! Great adventure and a place to get inspired about your resort ideas.
It is beautiful there. I love watching your videos. Love your sunsets and sunrises. Pretty cool Raptor too. Enjoy
You act like a kid, that's why I love your videos.
Just a few minutes into the video and I can't believe you totally ignored the fact that there's a miniature bread truck right behind you. It's so freaking cool LOL
Good thing you did´nt forget your Drone, so we got a few nice shots in this vid.
Now Matt, I understand that’s Giggle bunnies ride. Like her daily driver. You gonna be in the dog house when you get back.

Keeping us addicted with all of these videos 🗣️
The question I didn't realize I wanted an answer to. Thank you so much. I've got an Eddie Bauer 96 bronco my dad left me that I charish
Beautiful area to visit and for a race.
4:00 That's the real reason everyone wants to be in front; not to win the race, but to not be in a dust cloud the whole time 😂
Looks like a lot of fun. I only have a T-150 4X4, but I take it hunting in San Angelo for hunting.
"I have three kids, they don't fit in a bronco" got to be the most American thing I've heard so far
:best regards from Sweden
They are surprisingly narrow. More of a jeep size than the typical SUV size
Cleetus just said on sxside blog podcast his raptor R is his favorite driver vehicle by far.
