What isn't "parts bin" stuff going into the Filson could be easily tested pretty stealth. Power boards are a first for the Bronco, but they're functionally the same boards from the Expedition. The 3.0L isn't new, and they could set up a Raptor with the tune to push to the Filson. Ventilated seats, better sound system, quieter interior, even the suspension and body stiffness changes could be run on an Outer Banks without drawing a bit of attention.

I’m ready for a collab with Lenco on a Bronco based “BearCub”! Doesnt need to be armored… just needs to be matte black or OD green with the design elements of the Super Duty based BearCat.

rmc523 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Ford’s Answer To The Jeep Wrangler 392? Surrender | Carscoops Don't hold your breath for a Bronco Raptor R.... Speaking to Road & Track, Ford Racing Production Vehicles Chief Engineer Carl Widmann said he wasn’t aware of any plans for Raptor R versions of the Bronco or Ranger. He went on to say the “Ranger Raptor might even already have too much power.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their arch rival offers a Wrangler Moab 392 with a 6.4-liter V8 producing 470 hp (350 kW / 476 PS) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque. That blows past the Bronco Raptor, which has 418 hp (312 kW / 424 PS) and 440 lb-ft (596 Nm) of torque. This puts the model in a tough spot as both off-roaders start at $79,995 before destination.

In all seriousness, where is that power going to be useful in off roading or even on the road? Christ the 2.7L V6 has more then enough power for the Bronco....I can spin my wheels no problem if I need to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the Braptor ecoboost develops torque so much lower in the band that 30 lb/ft deficit means nothing and performance is so close that it doesn't matter and Braptor gets 2 mpg better on the city cycle.

fordmantpw Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Having to physically remove something doesn't fit with the Lincoln style. Lincoln customers are going to want to push a button and have it be what it is, not actually take the top off. Plus, I would expect the Lincoln to have a nicer interior than the Bronco, and not one you want to get wet. So the top is going to need to be closed relatively quickly vs. something that is removed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think that particular one is for Bronco. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
