Here’s what a Ford Bronco Sport Raptor might be like; why it makes sense.

In my opinion, not everything should be Raptor-ed. However, TorqueNews did a bit of research and came up with how it might be done.

Here’s What A Ford Bronco Sport Raptor Might Be Like And Why It Makes Sense

Summary:
1. Swap the engine.
2. Add a "Full Send" G.O.A.T. Mode.
3. Lift it, and make it less roly-poly after doing so.
4. Add WildPeak A/T 3W tires.
5. Throw in a roll cage, racing seats, lights, recovery points, etc.
6. Offer it at $50-60k.
7. Open Bronco Sport Raptor Off-Roadeo!

I wish there was a rendering. What do you think?

Um... no.
Lipstick on a pig.

I simply don't like dilution, even extending it to the Ranger ... but I'm no expert and have no facts to back this all up. Just feelings. Like, for instance, even though I love the Everglades wheels on all the other trims of Broncos I've seen them on (the best factory wheel, I think), I don't like that Ford made them available, for the sake of those who got an Everglades to be unique 😛 But Ford doesn't need to operate on my definition of fair, lol.

Ok fine that intrigues me. 😂 I equate the Raptor brand with big and powerful, and vehicles like the Ranger as a small truck (thinking of the Gen 1 and 2 specifically), and the Sport, while excellent, as small. But I can't scoff at 700hp.

I SAID I like them on other trims 😂 😂 I guess I am glad for those people just not the Everglades owners 😝

All is forgiven!🤣

This is like Sig making Legion versions of everything. Something gets lost along the way.Other vehicles can and should make their own identity.

Just give me an old dependable P226. Money every time.

Takes me back to my last high school exam that needed me to answer.. WHY?

The only acceptable answer I could come up with was... WHY NOT?

That's the spirit

Give me one and I will smack it off a rock to make sure it is up to snuff. That is my new test for any Raptor.

My dealer took a Badlands Sport, put a lift, I think 2", wide fender flares, K02 tires, there was one more add on, but I forgot. It was a nice looking truck. It sold in 2 days. It was the Betty Boop Blue. Remember now, flaps were the other add. If you are a simple, easy trails, this truck was really nice. I don't remember what the price was.

We had a guy that worked for us with an AMC Eagle wagon that was jacked up and big tires. Everyone thought he was the biggest geek. Was dark brown with wood grain siding on most of it was missing pieces that brush tore off. Car was only a year old an looked like it was 20.

My very "woke" brother loves his Prius. (I think--or hope--I was the adopted one.) For his 75th birthday, I had my graphics-skilled son photoshop his car, adding a spoiler, racing stripes, sponsor stickers ("STP" very prominently), V-rated tires, and a logo for the "Rick C----- Prius Racing Team." I then got some cheap champagne glasses from a thrift store and he etched the design in with a laser.

Unrelated to this, but I can't resist:
Q: Why aren't many Priuses sold in Alabama?
A: You can't mount a decent gun rack in the rear window.

Great video. LOVE their coffee, but it's a real $plurge for me.
Makes you wonder how they got the minigun. I saw "Spooky" in operation in Nam--a sight to behold!
