Saw the new Raptor and Bronco being tested (No pics)

So I got delivery of my truck on Saturday. Took it on a truck trail yesterday and today I headed out to the open desert to check out Baja and run some trails.

Coming around a corner returning to find a trash bin to dump stuff I found along the trail and there were two raptors and I thought friends!

Then saw the checkered patterned truck on the hill. Had a small laugh with one of the guys in the gen 2 Raptor who couldn’t tell me anything and the other guy wouldn’t confirm if the new V8 Raptor shows negative MPG when running around.

Continued along the way and found a checkered pattern Bronco a little farther with a lot more testing gear attached to it with its own ******. Super awesome to see!

I was skeptical if there was a 2021 coming but I believe there is now!

Didn’t take pictures because it felt like they would have moved if I started getting too nosy!

That’s awesome!!

That's interesting.

On a side note, where is this truck trail that you went to? I'm having a hard time finding good ones that are not going to give my truck bush pinstripes.

The one I did yesterday was in Otay that I found on All Trails.

When you look at it from there, it tells you a route that’s one way. Stick to that route. Do not try to go back down. I had to back up a half mile three times to let people pass because it’s so narrow and it wasn’t that fun. One way it was awesome. The beginning is a little narrow but my truck doesn’t have any scratches on it.

Also, border patrol is doing work around there so don’t wander into their construction sites. If you see one they will tell you which trail not to take.

What makes you think it was a 2021? 2022 makes more sense overall especially if they’re still testing it. Most 2021 models are already on their way to dealerships if not there now.

Which if true, blows all the so called experts ie the TFL guys out of the water with their "sources".

They'll say anything for clicks. TFL is still on Ford's shit list. They wouldn't let TFL attend the 2021 F150 unveiling because they leaked pictures of the Bronco.

And what better way to get back at Ford than to spread misinformation that causes Ford customers to get excited and then be disappointed. None of them will even remember where they saw that misinformation. I think TFL must stand for Truly Frigging Lame ...

the plan was to have a two model year break. With the new TRX, they are pushing up development. The actual model year will be decided when the r&d is complete. Also, the v8, if they can figure out the engine mounting, will be an option, not standard. They are working on it in high speed.
