Agreed... those flares are fugly.
I think the sales dept wins this bet though. I think they'll still sell plenty of them.

Some good info in that video.
- rear axle upgraded to a dana 50
- 14" rear suspension travel, 13" front
- active exhaust system
- tow capacity upgraded to 4500 lbs
No mention of any changes to the front axle and steering.
THis is was amazes me tho about ford, or any engineer team. You can come up with killer parts and innovations...yet you pick a fender flare style that looks reminiscent of Jeep YJ renegade body kit. Like oooo lets do the GOAT mode so people can rock crawl.....but use a rack and tie rod from a escape

An electric-power steering rack and housing influenced by F-150 Raptor, as well as larger-diameter inner and outer tie rod ends, were added to further upgrade Bronco Raptor.Some good info in that video.

The solid rear axle is upgraded to a semi-float Dana 50™ Heavy-Duty AdvanTEK® with 235-millimeter ring gear, while the Dana 44™ AdvanTEK front-drive unit includes upgraded half-shafts with 210-millimeter ring gear. These upgraded front and rear axles increase the track width by 8.6 inches (73.6 inches versus 65.0 inches) over a base Bronco for even more sure-footed confidence. Larger front and rear driveshafts support increased wheel torque.

That's pretty wide. I think my Chev D60 full width is 69.5" if I remember correctly?

So one thing I saw in the snorkel details is you could move the intake from the front to the back on the snorkel to avoid dust

Louisiana bayou just didn’t have the same ring to it? And swamper was too closely related to interco? 😆

I think they’ve done a good job with some of the trim names. Badlands, outer banks, big bend, Everglades. Very appropriate for the vehicle brand, very outdoor, rugged, adventure oriented. The ones I can’t stand are Sasquatch and Raptor. Are we 12? Gag. Thank the almighty that Bronco Warthog never ended up getting green lighted.
Think of the sweet tire pattern they could put on the seat though like Ram

Welp, my bronco is built and shipped. Estimated delivery of 3/11.
I went with the base model, added 2.7 engine, 4 door, hard top, auxiliary switches, and Sasquatch package. Should come in just under $45k, which seems like good value. I already picked up some OEM sliders for $150.
I was actually pretty happy with my gladiator rubicon, just not for a daily. Cost to get into a two door wrangler rubicon was just too much, so I went bronco. If it disappoints I figure I can sell it and make enough to offset the extra cost of the Jeep. But I’m feeling good about the bronco at this point, seeing as I’m the least Rocky Mountain Extreme 4x4er here, so the tie rods should have a long and happy life.

The Bronco I ordered and sold was pretty stripped down. When I drove it I was bugged by how tall the fenders in the front were trying to see over the hood to the both sides. After spending a bit driving it, I got used to it. I was very underwhelmed by the interior of the nearly STANDARD Bronco. My JKU I felt was a much better vehicle. My BIL ordered a Bronco all loaded up and I drove it a few weeks ago. It was really nice to drive but it had all the creature comforts that my 2022 F150 Lariat had. I am actually waiting for the email saying I can order the Bronco Raptor and I will get one of those coming.
