Bronco Raptor

I don’t know if someone has started a Bronco Raptor thread already—if so, I apologize. But man, a Bronco on 37s, what else could you ask for? The wide body kit looks dope. And given some of the spy photos, these look to have a coil spring 5-link rear like what the new Raptor may have. Stuff like this is why I know Ford is going to nail the Gen 3 Raptor. In addition to having the baddest off-road truck on the market, Ford may soon have the baddest off-road suv as well.

Did anybody ever think that maybe Ford will drop the raptor and put a v8 in the bronco again? Either way a bronco on 37's would be killer but not with a 4 banger.

I sure hope not. I want a pickup and have no interest in the Bronco. With the other power plants available, a V8 would be a mistake, but it's hard to go broke selling people what they want.

Edit: typo

I don’t think there is anyway that Ford would have a V8-less Raptor and then put it in a bronco....That dun darn don’t make no darn sense now

There won't be any v8s or v6s 20 years from now being sold new anyway, so hang onto your v8's if you want one. I'm thinking about starting up a racetrack with all electric cars, at least this way people won't make noise complaints.

Maybe Canadians wouldn’t, eh. Americans OTOH, would find another reason to complain.

Yeah and I’m sure Henry Ford thought we would all be flying around hover bikes by now too but yet here we are with the modern day cars doing the same exact stuff. I think 20 years will definitely still have cars like this.

Oh, don't worry you'e not alone, we are just as ****** here, there's a racetrack that was sanctioned by Nascar only 45 min drive from me, that closed down 4 years ago from noise complaints. There isn't a single house within a mile of the track, but a new subdivision went up 2 miles away and there was complaints of noise. SO you have to wonder why the developer would be allowed to build near a race track. This is in the middle of farm land, not the edge of even a small town.

Day. Um.

I know that is an issue in the ‘states Mid Atlantic region, but, as localities began getting these complaints, mostly about airport noise, the permitting and approval process began to include mandatory disclosure that you were near or in the possible flightpath of an airport and the notification meant you couldn’t sue to drive the airport out because the airport was there first.

Too bad they didn’t act sooner and let the airport and everyone else veto the proposed new developments.

Now that does still happen, we had an ATV park killed close to where I used to live.
