Our New Ford Bronco Raptor - First Impressions!
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 10. 2022
- We sold our Ford Bronco Badlands, equipped with the Sasquatch package, because we hated it. The quality control issues from the factory were something we ultimately couldn't overlook, and the weaker steering and suspension weren't something we were willing to risk (especially with the number of breaks popping up online & in forums). However, we had really high hopes for the all new Ford Bronco, and we aren't willing to give up on it yet. So we've turned those hopes over to the new Bronco Raptor!
In order to get one as soon as possible, we bit the bullet and paid some guy $35K over MSRP for the one he just picked up from a dealer. With any luck, the Raptor will live up to what we always hoped the Ford Bronco could be!
Hope you all enjoy the video!

Hey Kevin I remember you kids anouncing you were homless, that you was camping on the trails, and eating mountain house, the money will come and go but memories are forever, your doing great 👍
Yeah but ya know .... Money is nice 👀
Baddest truck in the fleet hands down!!!
You didn't get invited with other influencers because you're not influencers, at least in my definition. And this is a compliment! 😁❤
Can’t wait to see these Bronco Raptor videos! Bring on the Raptor vs 392 comparison!🎉
Victoria looks like a mini Brittany, not a bad thing. Bronco Raptor is a nice ride but I'm a Jeep guy and also a Longhorn fan! Go HORNS!! lol
got some good shots of her shoulder
You two are truly blessed. We Enjoy your videos.
I really appreciate your content and willingness to pay more for us. Love the videos. I'm really excited for the lj to get finished too.
I live in Austin Tx and their is a Ford dealership called Mac Haik of George Town and they sell all their vehicles at MSRP Broncos and Raptors as well you just have to get one when they are on the lots because they sell fast . Go burnt Orange Long horns 🤘🏽all day !!! 😅
I'm glad you've decided to give us a no BS review. I got tired of reading all the Factory fluff.
So excited for the videos you guys are going to make with this. So happy for you guys
Congratulations, you are a lucky guy!!! Will be following and watching your reviews!!!
Once again what a great video guys love seeing all of the kids at home and Kevin always willing to pay attention to them 😅
Very happy for you all !!! You guys work so hard and it is awsome to see your success you deserve all you have and more!!! Big fan hope to meet you all one day!
You folks just have it going! Love the channel.
I have never looked more forward to your next video then right now!!!😁
Looking forward to where this build goes!
Kevin videos!!! These are great. I get the “ok, my wife said I have to do my part too and here it is” vibe in these. Surprisingly I really like them. Keep up the great content. I’m sure she’ll edit and make them awesome.
Awesome Video Kevin, we just got our Bronco 2 days ago and we are very impressed with it... But we will have to see how it compares to our Eco Diesel JLU on 40's. Love the new Bronco Raptor !! Congrats you guys.
Awesome video! Still waiting for my Badlands, kind of a bummer to see Raptors out already..but still thankful for your share.
Another amazing video! Thank you for the awesome content!
I seen preview of you guys doing stuff.. can't wait for full videos 😍
Man, that last shot of the 3 vehicles...Living your best lives!
Keven, the way you've been talking about the width of the BRaptor, you may just have to stick to the "Hummer Trails" to save the paint! 🤣👍
Good luck 🎉! Sounds like a good game plan for trying it out and content.
That’s pretty awesome! I can’t wait till you start testing in the Raptor! This will be a great series!! Let goooooooooo!!! I’m still a Jeep guy 100%!!!
I'm glad y'all are staying true to yourselves and going to do legitimate stress tests! That has been something that has been bothering me about other Bronco Raptor videos on CZcams. I also was thinking about the Demon Child about half way through the video and was wondering when I would see it at the house! The 3 rigs look sick next to each other and I can't wait to see what y'all have in store for the new Plan B.
I love your Video guys! And i’m so excited to see you Braptor out there!
Congratulations on your new bronco can't wait to see it off road that bronco looks really nice just the way it's stands
"mexico" hahaha. i'm really excited for the braptor videos. my badlands gets born on 10-18 after a 342 day wait. can't wait to put it against the wranglers and see what really happens.
Happy for you two have a blast
I say this every video.... i love your stuff, All Four of you guys have a great dynamic.....
Massaging seats courtesy of the $35k markup 😂
stoked to see the crazy that’s gonna come out of this build! Let’s goooo
Hey kids..., the Bronco's (that) orange & subtle toned blue you would think it wouldn't work. But it's not bad! Sounds really solid & quieter too. We're looking forward to Kevin putting it through its paces & no doubt he'll want to challenge it more. And how about Brittany rock & rolling it too. Her input is just as professional as Kev's... Be safe out there kids...
Thank you for your time.
"You don't feel other cars when you run them over". Great selling point. I haven't heard that expression since talking to tank drivers years ago, when I was in the Army. I do agree, for the price you paid for it, expectations are high. So, Good Luck with your Ford, I mean it this time.
Good job Kevin! You have gotten much better at the solo video. I remember you saying you hated doing them alone.
wow you can't go wrong with any of those vehicles in your drive way. that the ultimate collection. 👌
Thanks Kevin for your honest review.
Congrats on the new new. Glad to see the fleet (most of it) all together. Excited to see how it compares to the 392. Sorry you couldnt find a better deal in time for the fall season but im sure you guys will make it worth while as you always do. Good Job on the vlog Kev.
What 392?
@@nicholassbardella6045 I believe I heard them mention previously comparing this to a friend’s 392. Think it was in their previous video. Please, Correct me if I’m wrong. I may also be remembering a brief discussion I had with Brit at off-road expo recently.
10:33 That 392.
I always found it a lot of fun when I crossed the border from Utah to Mexico; Not just for unlimited kilometer speed but those border tacos are delicious. just don’t get kidnapped Kevin ;)
Love your no bs review
Great video guys
The only Bronco I have ever owned was the 71 1/2 cab with a stock 302 speed on the tree. Had Q Buckshot murder tires and I pulled out every kind of jeep on the road back in 76 - 79 that Bronco would like go anywhere and I never had to use my wench for myself. ALWAYS got me home even with a broken axle or universal joint at the front wheel. Even broke a rear axle at the outer bearing and didn't know it until the wheel and tire passed me when it suddenly slowed down. Just put the tire in the bed and locked in the front hubs and drove it back home with 3 tires on the ground lol.
Those were the days.
I had a 73 K5 Utility. Loved it too. I liked it when I take the top off a just ride along the back roads or drive 100 miles to Memphis TN. With the 37 tires and a 6 inch lift the speedometer was off a lot lol. It had pos traction front and rear. That was great for level ground muddy conditions but on a side slope not so much.
Had Z71's too but the K 5 was my favorite.
Congrats on your new kid lol, it looks great byh the way, finally we are going to see a real test on the Bronco, can wait to see the video as always great work guys!
Enjoyed the vid Kev. Can't wait for the expensive Bronco content.
so true that you are the only person who can show us what this thing can really do and what it can not… there are no really test of this car and almost noone pushes the cars off road like you can !!!! you are really badasses guys… keep ripping those things !!! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Stay tuned for the off road content! 😁🤙
Very candid Kevin, I liked it.
The tyre sidewall compliance is what helps you offroad... Having more compliant sidewalls means you can leave more air pressure in them, means more stability once the sidewall starts flexing etc. The sidewall and the air in the tyre act as springs working together... If one spring is too stiff, then it prevents the other spring from doing it's job... It's a bit of a compromise in terms of sidewall performance, because being close to maximum rating means you get best stiffness adjustability with air pressure, but , to some extent extra sidewall thickness helps, assuming that you're not too far out of the window in tyre pressure.
Wheel weighs generally fall of when off roading, I usually install bead bags in the tire for balancing big tires use 2 bags per tire works well on 35” and up.
Heck ya @Kev. Can't wait to see you wheel that bad boy.
I remember back in the 80's on I-15 was 55 MPH, I remembered that because I got a ticket right where you are at Point of the Mountain for doing 63 in a 55.
Nice video and congratulations. Appreciate your unbiased opinions, and we all know not everyone will agree with you. Waiting on my Bronco to ship so I can form my own opinion, but until then I will respect yours. Have fun. Thanks.
I have a 18 jk 2 door willys 3 inch lift 34 inch KM3's 82000 miles and no vibration at 106 mph on the interstate ! love that solid live axle front end on the JK.
Man car and truck prices have gotten crazy. Even the MSRP is as much as I paid for my first house. It seems to me that across all manufacturers the over quality of vehicles has gone down.
I’ve been waiting for this video!!
90K for the top tier Bronco and 90K for a top tier Wrangler, but with the Wrangler you get the 392 and the 8 speed. Competition for Jeep is a good thing but I just don't see the Bronco being any better. Yes I'm a Jeep guy and have been for my whole life but I like the Bronco. Had they used a solid axle front I'd have one beside the Wrangler in the driveway.
The ultimate driveway art. Wow.
All 3 together look so sick WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW !!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to see it on the trails
You guys are definitely 1st as far as independent car reviewers goes!!!!….awesome video!
Stay tuned for off road torture testing! 😁🤙
@@LiteBrite can’t wait!!!!!!!!
Just a pointer....use the weighted beads inside the tires. I've used them once and always will now. It helps keep them balanced even if you get mud in the rims. Obviously if There's a ton of mud they'll still shake but I've had great experience with the weighted beads
Can’t wait to see all the work Chris and Bec will do. Plus Kevin’s epic driving and Britney‘s spotting capabilities. Perfect TEAM!
What's Shakin' Kevin?! Don't mince words - tell us what you really think. Mexico? Stay focused. I love that Ford Red (you say orange..). Why didn't Ford just make all the Broncos like this in the first place?! I know - $. They didn't balance the tires? Chinsy, Ford. Nittos to the rescue. Interesting all the improvements over the blue one. This will be fun to watch. LIteBriteNationBroncoInTheBalance!
Was going to buy one of theses... Ended up getting a G-Class... Best choice I made... I feel you on the interior quality...
Lol 😂…Its funny to hear you guys talking yourselves into a 115k Bronco!
We appreciate your honest, real world reviews. The price was definitely crazy. 🤪
So the raptor package should include ford offroad event.
If you look at the window sticker it should say on there.
But when you sign up (by vin) tell them your the orig purchaser.
I went to the race event.
It's was all paid. Killer hotel.
Nice meal. But it's an all day event.
Worth checking out.
Love the raw realness of this video. I'm completely against fords since I've had nothing but issues with them (other then the 91 ford ranger 4cyl, that's the only one that kept going, but all real trucks have failed me from ford)... that being said... this does look pretty nice. Is it 100k nice, no I don't think so, but we will see what yall can do in her.
Love the video like always.. stay safe, and wheel on. -Preston
The money part sucks while your cutting the check but we both know this will pay huge dividends for your channel being early on real unbiased BRaptor content. Congrats on getting this to all line up in time man!
Great video thank you!
... can't wait for you to drive this Beast ...
Part of me wants to tell you how crazy you are for what you paid. But if I had the money I would more than likely do the same thing.. I am happy for you guys looking forward to the content.
Be interesting to see how long before you hate this one too. I remember when you got the badlands you had lots of good things to say about it then.
Yup, and the longer we owned it & more seat time we had, the more things we found we hated. You’ll just have to stay tuned to find out with us if this one flops like the other one or not.
junk vehicles that were rushed into production.
Try again…..this video was recorded before they took it off-roading. They think it’s awesome, you’ll see. But what then? U won’t believe them right? Lol
@@kylestone5118 True!!! Where in NM do you live brother???
@@jdsrcs8061 i wish i lived there lol. from michigan but drove out there in 2021 and loved it. awesome atmosphere in the southwest.
Nice truck can’t wait to see you BEAT ON IT
Well done video Kevin. I get your excitement but I think I share Brittany's opinion. I really don't like the Broncos in general but over $100K is madness.
It looks great. I guess I have been lucky. My 2008 Rubicon and my 2021 Badlands don't have any wobble. I'm sure you guys will figure out what is causing the shake. Love it!
Looks frikin awesome
I wish I could afford one but will have to watch you enjoy this one !
The shaking is wheel balance. With huge tires at 80 MPH they really have to be balanced well. Most shops won't get the balanced well enough, heck even dirt on the tires can throw them off.
Looks good! Raptor series Rocks! The V6 in Sports mode seems the best in traffic. 👍
New subscriber
Awesome video guys 😎
Stay blessed
I wanted a f150 raptor since the first one I saw but could never afford one. I spent the summer building a 2017 F150. It was XL supercrew 5.0 when I started. Now it’s on kings methods 35s exhaust bumpers chase rack with spare carrier 8 KC gravity’s a few goodies under the hood leather seats with custom embroidery and a 13in t-style radio. I’m so glad I did a build instead of buying a raptor. Me and 2 friends had a blast doing it and other than parts it only cost a couple pizzas and a few 12pks. The best part is I did it. The only shop it saw was the tire shop to mount tires and an alignment
glad you're enjoying the Braptor, hopefully it was worth the money you paid. My 1 big fault that always catches my eye on these is the poorly designed fenders. It looks like they forgot how wide it was and just slapped some fender extensions on it last minute to make it legal.
Thing's progress. Jeep needs this kind of competition
I’m a Jeep and a Chevy guy, but that Bronco looks good. Cool video 👍❤️
I can’t wait to see you guys put the Raptor Bronco through it’s paces. My dad has had both, the Jeep and Original Bronco. He always liked the Bronco better because of the 302 V8 that his Bronco had. He always said that he thought the Jeep was drastically under powered. And i would agree. Until Jeep came out with the 392. 😏 I have a 2011 Ford Raptor….6.2L V8. I just can’t see buying a “Raptor” anything without a V8. Specially for the price tag. But I seriously can’t wait to see how it does off-roading.
Congrats guys! Try not to destroy it right away!
No promises, but we’ll try! 😁🤙
That's what I really like watching u guys ...of your true honest work..keep it up ..Kevin is right about Ford having their own trails to test out the Broncos and editing their videos.
Soon will find out about this Bronco Raptor could really do.
Not a big fan of IFS systems on a 4x4
@@angelogiannikos6657 you've seen people actually taking it to MOAB and other popular "jeep" trails right?!?
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 ready for some straight forward real world reviews.. good luck
Hmmmm.......all the way to Mexico and back in 300 mi, your shortcut beats mine! Your biggest gripe about the Badlands was the transfer case, the Raptor must have a totally different set-up. Can`t wait for all the testing on the tough trails to see if this one is worth the cost of 2 Badlands.
Wow, top speeding it before the break in period is up!? You guys are wild! I just got a new toy last weekend and finally hit 500mi; been babying it this whole time 😅
We ain’t got time for that. 🤣
can't wait to see how you beat that bad boy up. love the color. looks more red on camera. God Bless all.
Ya its freakin awesome !
that dash is SO MUCH BETTER!
Right?! Night and day difference in feel and quality.
My 17’ Ford Raptor had a loose wire in the trailer plug.2 weeks at dealership to figure that out. Love Ford performance but assembly line needs improvement. I can’t wait for more from Brite on the Raptor Bronco. 😀
Excited to see what the BRaptor can do! Still on board for a Predator swap!
I've bought three different trim 4Runners and all three had shaking issues at high speeds. Its just a thing with new cars or at-least off-road vehicles that the manufacture and/or dealership doesn't know how to balance tires. Everyone may not have this issue, but I have so feel your frustration on the shake.
Funny you mentioned breaking something and not having parts available yet. In 2017 my JLU oil filter was tightened to tight and cracked. It leaked all the oil out. My new JLU sat at a dealership for 3 months because the jku oil filter housing didn't fit the jku. Don't break it 🤣be safe
First thoughts of that shake at high speed is the Tow spec is out, but definitely a front end issue, alignment or balance of those tires.
Good tune to that thing...
Over 500hp.. woop woop.
Hey Kevin, you didn't mention the Raptor at the Off-Road Ex in Pamona. I knew you were going to love it. I hope the trail test was as good as the road test. Totally looking forward to the next installment.
Kevin it is the bfg ko2s. They came on the Toyota FJ cruiser trail teams. There was a tsb from Toyota to remove them because they would shake and shimmy and it couldn't be balanced out.
