The Ford Bronco Raptor is impressive
37" tires, a 3.0L turbocharged engine and Raptor HOSS 4.0 with FOX Live Valve Dampers are some of the features you're going to find in the Ford Bronco Raptor. It has styling that's different than the rest of the Bronco lineup and is guaranteed to turn heads.
In this video you'll learn everything about the Ford Bronco Raptor where I cover off exterior options, 1st and 2nd row spacing, cargo dimensions and more!

Its ABSOLUTELY impressive, just not $125K impressive....
Yeah just a bit pricey for sure but you know people are going to buy it anyways
Offering a lot for 125
Most comprehensive review of the Bronco Raptor to date!
Thanks!
Finally an automobile review without the BS and Content Fluff! Well done 👍🏾 great vid!
Thank you! Good to know people actually like the no fluff reviews
OK, you convinced me to buy one... in my dreams.
Or in GTA 😂
19:42 so I could still use my paddle shifters without being in manual mode nice didnt know that thx
That's right!
Remarkable beauty..superb bronco
It really is!
Steve!! well done on the review of this vehicle! 👍🏽
Thank you! 🙏
@@CarsWithSteve ❤️
Was the best presentation of Bronco Raptor 24
Thank you!
Um dos melhores vídeo sobre carros que já assisti, será que aqui no Brasil vou conseguir encontrar um assim, sou apaixonado pelo Bronco Raptor, parabéns pra Ford.
Obrigado meu amigo. Talvez você consiga importar um, mas não tenho certeza se a Ford tem planos de disponibilizá-lo no Brasil
No Brasil só a ranger raptor
Do you know how long it takes to sew a leather dash?
My dream car ❤️ bronco
Nice! What color would you go for?
Instrumentation is off the chart!
Agree there! I love the unique Raptor performance mode
I sawa video showing an Ford Everist which was part of the Raptor models. I liked that one.
It'd be great to be able to review an Everest. It's on a to do list when I find myself on that side of the world

Hi Steve How Are You Can You Make The 2024 DEFENDER X-DYNAMIC SE
On the list! I was just in a 75th anniversary last week
@@CarsWithSteve Thank You
anytime
@@CarsWithSteve And The 2024 Ford Ranger
I enjoyed the review! The Raptor is beautiful but im tired of car manufacturers putting small engines in vehicles that deserve a V8. Smaller engines when turbo charged or supercharged wear out much faster than a larger engine. 4500 LBS towing not impressive especially when a Chevrolet Colorado has 7600 towing limit. That means if you own a boat over 20 ft you are more than likely not able to pull it. Have a great day and keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Michael! The 5.0L Coyote in a Bronco would be pretty neat to see 🤔 4,500lbs is a bit lower than I'd like to see for sure but it's also a truck vs off-road ride. Cheers!
@micheal23459 very true 👍🏽
This isn’t the dumbest comment I’ve read but it’s on the list. The towing doesn’t have anything to do with the motor but rather the suspension components it’s not a vehicle made for towing. You thinking a “V8” would change that only highlights just how naive you are
@@AAries29 what is a bommer? And you're lying about the 700,000 k
@@Pler1978 have a good day kiddo
Good~
Thank you
Wow! What a beast of a machine! I'll take a couple. Nice tutorial walk-a-round. Can you use etanol- free fuel?
Thanks Kevin! The Bronco is rated to run off fuel with no more than 15% ethanol. So.. technically ethanol free should be good to go
add on PORTALS!!! ♥♥♥♥
Just watched a few videos on portals in the Bronco. Crazy!
is there diesel engine for 7 speed manual?
Unfortunately not. Only the 2.3L gas engine is available as a manual so you're looking lower trims of the Bronco
There's one at my local Ford dealer. Checked it out up close. $96,871, + a $10,000 market adjustment!!! I'd never pay this much for an underpowered SUV with the fit and finish of an Explorer..
The 3.0L may not be as good as the F150 Raptor's 5.2L Supercharged V8 but it's still plenty powerful for a vehicle this size. I never think it's a good idea to pay a dealer markup. If people stopped paying markup prices, the dealer's who have a markup will eventually entertain lower offers because of dealer floor plan finance rates right now
Súper Machine for those who know how to make money!
So true!
How this thing doesn’t have a bubbly 5L coyote** V8 is beyond me
The Coyote in the Bronco would be great, HP/Torque wouldn't be too far off from one another but the 5.L growl would sound amazing
@@CarsWithSteve coyote is what I meant, would’ve been great
I figured that's what you meant! @AAries29 - if someone really wanted to... they'd be able to make it fit. Frankenstein Raptor 😂
I saw this truck in person at the dealer ship and it looks massive. It’s impressive wide and tall. But definitely needs to be a v8. Price is a bit over 100k. High price for a v6.
It's a ridiculously big vehicle.. When I was driving it, the thing took up most of the lane width! V8 would be great!
N I= not interested
What about Blue Cruise and lane centering?
Adaptive cruise with lane keeping is there but BlueCruise isn't available in the Bronco yet..
@@CarsWithSteve even a lane keeping is game changer! As far i know it was no assisting systeme before. Hope they will listen - to get to offroad we spend hours on road. we need aoutopilot things
So true! It would be great to see some of the more advanced tech come to the Bronco but there has to be a reason why Ford hasn't done it yet
HEY THERE EXCEPTIONAL REVIEW. SUGGESTION :- USE ACTION CAMERA WHILE DRIVE REVIEW
Thanks! I've had 3 GoPros fail lol so I just use an iPhone or Insta360 now
Local dealer has one. 126k cdn
Sounds about right. Is that sticker or with a markup?
Here in Europe (Romania) the cheap fuel is 95 and the “premium” fuel is 100..
and these turbos would thank you for using fuel with octane ratings that high!
2 things in the back.. Steve: “ a bunch of stuff “ 😅 not making fun I really like your videos. 😊
Lol - try to make it seem a bit more exciting
People want the V-8, but they have forgotten about the hummer I guess they won’t 10 to 13 miles per gallon
Heard that from a lot of people - I'm sure if people who are buying and contacting Ford directly will eventually make them release a coyote version
Ποσα είναι η τιμή σε ευρώ
Αυτή ακριβώς η κατασκευή θα κόστιζε περίπου 80.000 €
I really like these but i'll wait until their 15 grand! Or 10 and under for that fact!
For a Raptor you might be waiting 15+ years but you might luck out on a rebuilt Base/Big Bend in the next 5-7 at that price point
I’ll stick with my v8 swapped 91 YJ. Even if I had 120k laying around, still could find 100 different things I I’d rather spend it on 😂
Classic ride, nice 👌
Pahingi naman ng isa..Wish😊
Manifest
Unbelievable test drive! I’m a subscriber for life just from this video. I just unsubscribed from all of Chris Harris’s channels
I would be amazing to get some of the cars that Chris has reviewed. Working on it!
Too much money for not a lot of value on return but i might buy three of them for my family 😂
The problem with these SUV’s is that they lack a V8. Nothing can replace that motor sound
There's a KZheadr who's been working on a V8 swap but a factory option would be greal
It’s carbon fabric soaked in fiberglass resin
love the bronco but that b pillar sucks they need to move that thing back it sucks with your shoulder smashed up agains it and not able to put my arm out the window
Definitely a bit tight up there for bigger folks.. And you just made me realize I've never actually shown getting an arm out of the window on any car I've reviewed
yep i have feet room im 6foot 3 and need the seat all the way back and then im looking at the b piller and cant put my arm out the window and its just huge and takes up some room @@CarsWithSteve
Damn! Alright.. appreciate you pointing that out. Will make sure to add it into future videos
lol you make awesome videos @@CarsWithSteve
thanks!
It needs to be a V4 and doesn’t have enough doors
V8 Coyote would be nice in this thing.. How many more doors does it need?
So nice. Too bad Ford won’t be able to sell one to anyone making under $200k per year 😞 I’ll stick with my 2022 Corolla
Bigger downpayment with a trade in is always a workaround to the income requirement!
These prices are absurd…..before Covid this would be around 80k max….prices go up but wages stay the same. Ridiculous
The Bronco Raptor wasn't introduced until 2022... and the price is high but people are buying them
Maybe you haven't noticed, but prices are up about 30% across the board for everything from A -Z.
392.....period.
That would be a cool compare video
And?.... You like Jeep, ok. The BRaptor is just as capable if not PROVEN better in some cases. Both are good vehicles, take that tribalism shit somewhere else.
@@BrooklynNY1979Negative. I like both, just stating the facts not your feelings. Facts do not care about your feelings. That really hurt your feelings. Go take a dump and go live in Mars and your cartoon mindset. Lmao
Luxury is having a leather dash, cause the leather cost more than plastic or any other interior material.
It's impressive except for the 14-15mpg it gets.
Haha right? But you don't get something like this for the fuel savings
I have 2 black Bronco Raptors that are loaded and for sale.
Nice! Dealer or private seller?
Dealer, Ashland Oregon @@CarsWithSteve
Drop a link and I'll approve it to go up
As a lifelong Ford owner… my next ride will be a Toyota!
Which one?
@@CarsWithSteve probably a Sequoia TRD Pro… I’m 6’4” … my wife’s 2020 4Runner is a little small for me… I’m currently driving a Ford E-150 wagon. Love it but it’s got 100k miles and I’ll start biting my finger nails at about 120k! All of my Fords needed some serious work on em at around 150k…
What is it putting mouse motors in these vehicles!!!!!!
The 3.0L twin V6 in this is pretty capable.. 418 hp / 440 lb-ft torque.. Not far off from the specs of the Coyote. But it would be sweet to have the V8 in here
I will pass on the 10-speed transmission. Throw in a 5-speed manual and I am sold on it.
A 7 speed in the 3.0L like what they did in the 2.3L that would be pretty sweet
I didn’t know Tom Cruise vlogs on KZhead….
Haha thanks!
For that price, I would get a Bimmer or Benz or Range Rover or any other premium SUVs
Not many BMW or Benz at this price point that would be as capable rock crawling or trailing. What would be your top picks?
Get a Range Rover and pay a zillion dollars in extra bills. I drove a top of the line defender and this raptor is better
Too much I can 2 new trucks for this
...just needs coyote engine 😎
Yes it does. There were a few guys starting a swap on Instagram but haven't seen one completed yet
This needs a V8.
The coyote would be great if a swap from the 3.0L would work
Could get better gas mileage with a V8 engine. 302 BOSS would be cool.
Fuel mileage wouldn't be too far off from the 3.0L turbo and the 5.0L v8.. If you look at the F-150, the 3.5L turbo and 5.0L have close to the same fuel economy with the 5.0L getting slight better mileage when towing. It would be crazy to see the F150 Raptor/Mustang GT500's 5.2L supercharged V8 in this thing though
418hp compared to 406hp is not significant.
Not overly but still a difference for people who want the best performance out of their ride..
All these salty people in the comments that are just angry they can't afford one 😂😂
HAHA always seems to be the way it works
No truck is worth the same cost as a house! These manufacturers need to come back down to real life! And the dealerships need to quit adding 20k to the msrp!
Where can I find $100k houses?! That doesn't even get you a plot of land to build in most of Canada
Why did they give this less power than the f150
The F150 has a 3.5L turbo while the Raptor is 3.0L turbo. Power isn't too far off between them though... Bronco Raptor is 418 hp/ 440 lb-ft torque while the 3.5L F150 is 400 hp / 500 lb-ft of torque
37 inch is nothing in off road tires. 38-42 is a lot more common in that world. nice truck regardless
Those bigger tires can get pretty crazy but you're right!
@@CarsWithSteve is this car, fully stock, bigger than a JL rubicon fully stock? it looks like it. JL's come with 33 inch tires i believe
Don't think they're that far off of each other size wise. The Rubicon 392 has the Xtreme 35 pack so it's 17" wheels and 35" rubber from the factory
37 inch tires are nothing!?!?..... Dude you have no fucking clue what you're talking about clearly. Stick to the mall parking lot in your Honda pal.
That V6 kills everything ...I do not understand why make something like this and not put a proper engine in it ...and the amount you pay for it in Canada is between $ 124 to $130 thousand ...plus taxes ...Love it but no V8 ..No Thanks
Go for a test drive in 2 F150s.. one with the 3.5L Ecoboost and one with the 5.0L coyote. Outside of a very brief turbo spool you won't notice the difference
Still not impressed with the 3.0 turbo - this needs a high HP possible v8 all day long. Prefer coyote and a VMP 3 liter for 800ho on plump gas
The V8 or even the 3.5L high output turbo would be crazy in the Raptor
How much ????????????? I think you are afraid to divulge the out the door price!!!!
It says it right in the description lol Edit: Canada - $125,475 USA - $98,795
Impressively expensive.
Yet they're still selling
@@CarsWithSteve True. My issue is I wouldn't off-road with since I would need it to look pristine. I had a 74 Bronco I built for off-roading, didn't care about trail pint striping or mild carnage that would happen time to time. I would love to own this, but the ROI isn't there for me. Very nice video.
I wouldn't want to take it off-road either. Classic Broncos and lower trims would be the way to go for sure. How long ago did you get rid of the 74?
@@CarsWithSteve I sold it a year before they announce the release of the new Bronco. Terrible timing to sell a rust free built classic. My 15K could have easily been 2-3 times that in today's market.
Of course it's just after you sold it! I saw a restored 74 earlier today.. it was converted to an EV powertrain. Crazy what engineers can do
Have you seen that incident last week where some female stole a sheriff patrol car and killed three other ppl at the national park? That’s what I look for. Are you going to live or is the other person going to live during the accident
$120K.
Yup.. but you know people are going to pay it
@@CarsWithSteve yup then they sell cuz they broke again. Vehicles are huge money pits. I Uber and or carpool friends family. Big money save.
@@ritchierich565where do you go and live to where ride sharing is cheaper than owning a vehicle? 🤔
Ever seen one of these things get rear ended by a cement truck watch it on KZhead you’ll never buy a bronco
You mean the fake animated video showing it crumpling? Lol no vehicle would stand getting rear ended by a cement truck but you should take a look at a real life owner's example of what happened when they met a cement truck - carswithsteve.com/Bronco-Raptor-vs-Cement-Truck
The Ford Bronco Raptor is impressive and made in America were cars are just garbage, this one is impressive until you start to get recall notices every 3 months and need to take it to the dealer every 6 month for some problem
Has your Raptor had many recalls? The Bronco recalls haven't been too crazy so far and they tend to only apply to vehicles built during a specific window
@@CarsWithSteve wELL YOU JUST NEVER KNOW,BUT YOUR INFO IS GOOD TO KNOW FOR ALL THANKS
No v8?!
The one thing it's missing.. Power isn't too far off between the 3.0L and Coyote but the N/A aspect of the V8 is a draw for sure
It's ford, it'll break down at 10k miles lol
i.imgflip.com/39g8b4.png
@@CarsWithSteve LOLOL amazing response. Thank you for the laugh.
haha anytime!
Probably around 150-200k 😂
Canada - $125,475 USA - $98,795
All the interior plastic at this price is criminal
When you realize it has the upgraded carbon fibre interior pack 😂
Engine still looks a train wreck. Unbelievable what they charge for these trucks.
Because it's not covered by a pretty engine cover?
@@CarsWithSteve for $90,000 base I’d expect at least some organization that looks like it was planned by a well trained engineer. This disorganization looks like something I’d come up with.
That’s a Man’s Vehicle. Not suitable for Hairdressers who drive Suzuki Vitara’s.
HAHA ah I wish I thought of that to say during the video
Got everything except a good engine lmfao
Take an Explorer ST (same engine) for a spin and tell me that
🙄🤷🏾♂️But its still a Ford!
Take one for a spin or ask other owners what they think
지기삐네
눅눅한데 어때요?
😏🙄😅😅😅😅
🙃
Why do you intentionally leave out that it’s a V6? It’s comical to watch. Like someone is paying you to gloss over it.
Oh so you noticed. I'm not intentionally leaving it out like it's some secret shame. The V6 lobby isn't handing me envelopes of cash saying "Steve, make sure you don't mention that it's a V6." I like to appreciate what the car offers and how its performance is as exciting as a car with more than six cylinders
@@CarsWithStevebut you are intentionally leaving out it’s a 6 cylinder. You give every engine displacement and the transmission but magically leave out number of cylinders.
You're fixating on the V6 or V8 like it's the missing link in the automotive evolution. No one who is interested in actually buying this is sitting there going, "Oh, it's got a V6? Well, now I'm definitely not interested"
Capable of everything except flat towing behind an rv. Doing so destroyed my transmission. $6300 no warranty on 5k miles. Ford sux. Imo..
The Bronco does have support for flat towing.. When the transfer case is in the neutral position by going to 2H and then selecting neutral tow in the cluster you should have been ok. If you followed what you were supposed to do and the transmission was damaged that sounds like warranty claim territory
@@CarsWithSteve it did flat tow for the first 1500 miles about 12 times on and off the rv. It works great until it doesn’t.
Odd it just decided to not work eventually. I'll check with a Ford contact to see what their take is
@@CarsWithSteve ford take is on the 15ish try I did it wrong too damn bad. If you read gen 6 forums it’s happening to a lot of owners.
Just did some digging and it looks like it does happen to some folks who flat tow. What's weird is that some people are saying their Bronco's are and some aren't spitting out codes that show it was in neutral tow mode. I'd cover myself by recording each time it goes into neutral tow mode just in case but damn that's annoying
thats a poor quality camera
i.imgflip.com/39g8b4.png
This is overpriced, ranger raptor with same engine cost only $56K, how this one price %30k more than ranger raptor?
Very different rides but that'll be a good compare video when I get the chance to check out a Ranger Raptor
Fender flares are ugly
But they save the body when you're going off road! Have to compromise a bit...
10 speed clunky and junky
Have you done much driving in the 3.0L EcoBoost?
Tell me you have NO IDEA what you're talking about, without telling me...🙄🙄
I'd rather have the old school version. What this overpriced piece of plastic costs is helluva a lot more. At least I'll have a V8.. and built a lot better than this...did they ever get the issue fixed with it going dead when driving through water at high speed?
I haven't heard of a full size Bronco dying when driving through water. There was a Bronco Sport owner that claimed theirs wasn't able to go through 20" of water but nothing out there on the full size
@@CarsWithSteve (That's supposed to be the full size?)
Nah, the Sport is the mini version. I haven't seen any forum posts or videos from people having their current gen full size Broncos not being able to handle water fording up to the appropriate levels for the build they have
I hope you know, carbon fiber is a cheap replacement for plastic and metal. 😂😂😂😂😂 fools
Carbon fibre costs more then plastic and metal.. and compared to most materials is harder and stronger
Another over priced Ford unrealistic for the marketplace.🤨
Most people don't buy the highest and most expensive trims for the vehicle they choose but it's available for people with the budget
At that price it’s not even remotely Impressive. Get real
You can get close to the same performance out of supercharged 5.0L Mustang GT with a few other upgrades for $50k less than a Mustang GT500.. yet people still buy the GT500 because of the feeling they get behind the wheel and the value they see. Just because you don’t see the value in the Bronco Raptor doesn’t mean other people don’t.
Ugly. It looks like a beefy 90s jeep Cherokee
Styling isn't even close between them
Where’s the V-8?
👍
Just dont get hit from the front or rear...... Ull fold like a tin can!
Lol I saw that fake animation video too.. There is 0% chance this would have gotten road safety approval if it was just going to crumple. In reality the Bronco has excellent crash ratings, with IIHS having it rated as good/superior for most vehicle to vehicle collision scenarios
@@CarsWithSteve Their not as fake as u might think..... The IIHS does NOT take into account a HEAVY vehicle crushing it. Its no mistake the Ford Explorer held up well they are made for Police as well the same technology goes into them. The Bronco is a death trap!
