Bronco Warthog/Raptor "In the Wild"

Okay folks... in a dilemma here. How many would consider cancelling their reservations to wait an extra year for the Raptor/Warthog version? If the proportions, stance, symmetry of the Raptor version look anything even close to this, I want one! What I don't want is to buy a first year, have it depreciate (even at a low 20% given it's first year demand) and then get this. Even currently, I'm on the rocks with the Bronco and F-150 Raptor so I know this is exactly what I really want (just don't want to wait!)

So, would anyone else consider dropping their reservation for a first year (or even First Edition) on a hold out that someday soon Ford will release this? It's just dang it, timing stinks! We're still seeing regular Broncos in Camo and this is right around the corner? Come on Ford... Talk about your high school tease! :mad:

I am glad to read how I am not the only one considering the Bronco Raptor. I love my F150 and spend hours each week on highways driving to camp sites in northern Maine. (My off road driving in northern Maine is limited by my F150. That is the problem I hope the Bronco will solve.) The highways have a 70mph limit and I find myself comfortably driving at 75mph. Will the Bronco be as enjoyable to drive on the highway at speeds of 70+ mph? Will a Bronco Raptor be any better? I have other considerations which give me a reason to pause. I keep asking myself, what are you buying? I guess I need independent analysis of performance on and off paved roads to answer my question since it appears test driving a Bronco may be unattainable.

Would an F-150 Raptor be a good fit for your needs?

It might be. I have not spent any time thinking about an F150 Raptor. Like many of us, I love the Bronco design. Perhaps I have entered a phase where independent analysis of performance is needed on the Bronco before I move on to analyze a different vehicle.
