BRONCOS At The 2022 Seattle Auto Show

Great pics, Chris! Thanks for sharing these. Sad you can't get a Raptor in EG anymore, and I know other people feel the same about Cyber Orange.

My thoughts exactly. The odd thing was the Cyber Orange Bronco was a 2021 model year!

I may go back to the show today. I might get an opportunity to drive a RAPTOR! I didn't learn they were available for test drives until after I left the show. :(

But boy, if nothing else it was sure fun to get behind the wheel and take my time to check everything out. So cool. The photos don't show it (carefully timed my pix), but the Broncos often had a crowd around them. A lot of curiosity about them still. It was hard to peel myself away from the Ford exhibit, but I managed to see everything else at the show. LOL

Great pics, thanks for sharing!!

If you can drive a Raptor you HAVE to go back 😍 I need a full report.

Nice! Thank you for sharing. I am going there this afternoon. Looking forward to see the Raptor, ahead of getting my own in mid January -ish.

Wouldn't mind test driving it though.

Plans are already underway. ;)

Thanks for sharing these pics… trying to wait patiently for mine to be built and shipped…. we should connect once we both have ours… I’m about an hour from Seattle

Oh, this is classic.......showing off two paint color configurations you can't even get anymore. Setting themselves up for a new generation of disappointment.

I hear ya, brother. They did also have a Chili Red 4 door soft top and a black Raptor outside for test drives, however.

Really think you need to get that Raptor it looks like it was made for you.

Okay folks, I’m officially in love with the Raptor. I took one out for a quick spin and it’s incredible. No off-roading involved, but brother this thing hauls ass! And that GROWL! It’s intoxicating. Great acceleration from a dead stop. Commanding view. Great steering wheel feedback. Tried sport mode and loved it. Sadly, my Badlands won’t have that particular GOAT mode. Still, stoked to be getting my own Bronco… 🤓

Thanks for sharing! That's my 2-door Cactus Grey Bronco Badsquatch! I should be there today and Sunday.

Lucky! How fast did you get to go 😛

Only about 40mph. But it's not how fast I went. It's how quickly I got to 40mph. ;)

I'm trying to upload a video but it's taking forever to download. In the meantime, here's a pic of the tail end of the Raptor I drove:



What I found surprising was with all its heft, the Raptor launched and got up to speed in no time at all. Very exhilarating driving. The shoulders are wide, but I never felt like it was cumbersome on the road. In fact, it felt surprisingly nimble. Only a couple of turns of the wheel and I was oriented in a completely different direction. Effortlessly. It's as if the Raptor was unaware of how heavy it was. It's the perfect balance of power to weight.

Sounds amazing @BuckYeah! Nice review 😍

Thanks! While conversing with Mike, the Ford driver accompanying me on my test drive, he acknowledged his association with the Bronco Nation and that he knew Blake from the Moab Off-Roadeo. What a SMALL WORLD! Blake, a.k.a. @TorgSurv here on BN, was my instructor at the Moab Off-Roadeo I attended last February. I thought that was a pretty cool coincidence. We had a great chat, although it was brief as the test drive lasted only 20 minutes or so. Still, it was fun to talk shop and connect the dots with the parent organization.

I implore anyone who's even remotely interested in Broncos to avail themselves of a Raptor test drive. You'll be glad you did!

Another Seattle-ite here, anticipating delivery in Jan/Feb (Cactus 4dr, BL, SAS, MIC, High, Tow). I've seen enough around town now and up the passes that I'm wondering if there's a Seattle area Bronco club or any plans for a local rally? I haven't dug around much, but anyone have info/links on such groups that you can share?
