I agree, the flares look gaudy. They did such a nice job with the Raptor 150 styling but the missed the boat here.

Mechanically it's pretty awesome. Lots of upgrades from the regular Bronco. Overall I like it. I do agree the flares are questionable. I really think they should have gone with bulged body panels and smaller flares. Also I think they should have gone with more of a Raptor style grill and headlights - not just changing "BRONCO" to "FORD". That said, not sure I'd be willing to trade my Gen 2 F150 Raptor for a Bronco Raptor.

Yea! lets tease the general public into believing the Raptor will roll out smoothly,, Lets just put all Current Bronco reservations not only on the back burner, but shut it off so we can concentrate on the Stupidly high value Raptor, Screw the lower priced Bronco....

I just have issues with the fact that there are plenty of people out there having issues getting their 2021 Bronco, but this newer model is being teased to everyone. FORD needs to fix the hiccups on production. Churn out the 2021 orders.

I am not impressed with the Raptor. They could have molded the fenders to flare out, instead of adding the flares.

Then you will be getting an email from Ford before to long asking if you would like to convert your order to a Braptor. My understanding is that those who are reservation holders and still waiting on production will be allowed first right of refusal.

Ugh yeah its cool in theory but can you actually get one??? Or will it be a year wait for one. Or a 50,000 mark up over sticker at the dealer. I just want the Badland I ordered in August I dont care about the Raptor Bronco, I agree the fender flare are ugly looks like an afterthought. A fiberglass fender with bulges and a smaller plastic flare would have looked a lot better. But again I dont really care I cant even get the bronco i ordered last year!! I sure as hell am not going to order another one!

Got that E-mail.... Not even getting close to that rabbit hole, As far as I see it, they can't produce what was offered for almost 2 years now, Why would I jump on a new Bus with just-as-flat-tires, and pay double the price?

Oh, but they are rolling out the Bronco Sports though! I have seen ten times the number of those (translation: about ten Bronco Sports and one Bronco Bronco). This whole thing is just getting weird. Produce the Bronco Bronco already Ford. This is getting embarrassing.

I was wondering what all the fuss was about and now I see. Those flares are the ugliest things I have ever seen. Couldn't afford one and wouldn't buy one if I could.
