2022 Bronco Raptor at the NY Autoshow!

Finally got to see one in person, looks great! I was surprised how much better the blue seats look than in pictures. The flares are a nonissue.

So the fenders are not a problem and look good on the Bronco? Been wondering, I'm big on leveling out my trucks as I'm not a fan of the stink bug look. Hows the stance. Front end pretty level with the back or will I be having to add a front end leveling kit.

There is a lot of black on the truck to help the fenders blend in, I don't think making the body wider would have looked better. The stance is level, not sure what parts would be available to change it or if the shock coils are height adjustable, see pics below.
I also tried to get HP info out of the Ford guy that was introducing the Raptor but he just kept saying "more than 400 hp" when I told him I am an early reservation holder that switched to a Raptor and would like to know what I'm purchasing he texted someone and replied "it's going to be around 430HP" he didn't know much himself, he thought it had the same engine as the F150 Raptor. The guy that drove this particular truck in some video's and commercials said I'd be impressed with the power it puts out, so we shall see some day, lol.

Personally, I think it looks awesome! Imagine seeing one of these passing you on the road. It’s like getting a glimpse of an exotic car. Not something you see everyday. Thanks for posting the pics. I’m glad I ordered the CO, it should stand out just enough.

Nice job getting the HP numbers out of the guy! Finally some real numbers.

The suspension does look adjustable, but I'm not sure if its on height or just adjustable in play.

Also, how tall are you? Did you fit just fine in the front seat? Did you get a chance to sit in the back?

Totally agree. The videos that caught some of these driving down the highway, the Raptor look great with the wide fenders.

I'm 6'1" 250lbs and fit fine, not sure if the seat was all the way back or down. I saw a significantly taller guy sit in the back that probably needed a bubble top option, lol.

That's the only thing I worry about, is the head room in the back.

Awesome job cornering the guy regarding HP, I'd be delighted if it's 430. it will be interesting to see that how that works with 37's and gears. That number kinda makes sense giving all the bragging they've done around the turbo's, exhaust etc....
I drove a bronco outerbanks for a couple of days as a loaner from my dealership and found no problem with headroom, steering wheel etc being 6' 240. The wrangler 392 on the other hand had no headroom to spare.

Didn't you say the only issue you found was the noise? Like wind noise?

It was a soft top and when I went over bumps in the road the whole windshield and dash would shimmy. hopefully the additional bracing has resolved that???

430 hp would make sense. Since the Raptor is so heavy, almost the same as my 19 Raptor which has 450 hp. It should be close in performance.

Does anyone know if the 3.5 and the 3.0 have the same redline?
