BUY A Ford Bronco Raptor

I'm Jacob. I'm Yuri. And we're going for a drive. 2026 Ford Bronco. Raptor without launch control, brake boost. So sick. Horsepower and torque. 418 horsepower, 440 pound feet of torque from a three liter EcoBoost V6. Wait, is there a Bronco Raptor R yet? Not yet. Are we getting one? I hope so. Are we getting a V8 then? I hope so. That would be sick. That is the only thing wrong with this vehicle, because otherwise it is literally perfect. So I did that launch in two high, which is rear wheel drive, which is super fun. Your big jacket's bumping into my big jacket. Oh yeah. Do you like this? Yeah, it's good. You pointed it out. I saw that he had a fun jacket, so I had to grab mine out of my car. I wasn't going to wear it. Yuri, this is a Jeff Gordon winning jacket. Oh yeah. He wore that when he won? Yeah. This is, look at all these. Champion. Look at all the years. Yeah. That's it. This is your Christmas present. I got you the Jeff Gordon one, because I knew you'd love it with all the colors, bro. I didn't get you a Christmas present. I'm sorry. That's okay. I figured you wouldn't. But look at this. Look at this Jeff Gordon jacket. Come on. Let's go. I'm going to swap. I'm going to swap it. I saw how much you liked it. I knew you wanted a Jeff Gordon something. So here you go. Merry Christmas. How'd you know I'm a Jeff Gordon over a Dale Earnhardt guy? Because of the colors. You like the colors of the DuPont livery. Let's go. Merry Christmas. I'll come up with something to get you. You don't have to get me anything. How did I get you something? I got you that motor last year and you got me nothing. I think I got you something. I don't remember. But anyways. Merry Christmas. So back to this. This thing is the best. I really want to actually buy one, because it is so much fun. I love looking at this. It's literally like they didn't screw up a single thing with the looks, especially now that they like paint match the fenders and all that stuff. Like this thing is so comical on the road. It shouldn't exist. It's almost like a giant square because of how wide it is and how like, it's just amazing. My son loves it. The wide body is so sick. And color match. Yeah. Like my son thinks I'm a monster truck driver now because I got rid of my Raptor. So this thing's like even bigger and wider than the Raptor is. Even the current one. Like this is wider than a current Raptor. So like my son loves this. We'll park it at school and he'll be like, look, daddy, we're the biggest one in the parking lot. I'm like, that's right, son. We are the biggest one in the parking lot. That means you're in charge of the school. That's right. And I told him like in the summer, you can take the doors off. He's like, what the? I'm like, yeah, you can take the doors off like a Jeep. And then you can even take the roof off. So he like loves the concept of this thing. And I think to do him a favor for the future, I think I'm going to purchase one of these used. Yo, for sure. Because it's the coolest thing ever. This doesn't have a splash on it or anything. No, it doesn't. And I've been looking at it. Splash is kind of cool. Yes, it is. And I've been looking at used ones, obviously. You know, what a used 2022, the cheapest one I can find in Canada. Yes. 100,000 less. $85,000. Okay. And there's one with a splash for like 90 or $95,000. Honestly, I would pay an extra $5,000 for the splash. I would too. But I would also be okay with a full code orange with matched fender flares with no has to be orange. Yes, it has to be. Code orange. I got to get back to that. Yeah. But I just love this thing. This video is mostly just going to be about how much I love this thing. Is it just appreciating a good car that still exists? Yes. And like, okay, so hear me out. You know, I love V8s. Obviously too much. Like to the level that it might be like a tism. Since when? But this car, SUV, never came with a V8, okay? The Raptor did. So I'm okay with this. Because it's top trim. And it never had a V8, so it never lost a V8. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In this generation. I know old Broncos had V8s, but like in this generation, it never had one. I would love one, but it never had one. And I've got the exhaust in Baja mode, just so you guys can hear this on video. But I've customized my R or Raptor mode on the steering wheel to actually be exhaust quiet. Because I actually think this sounds terrible. Because it's an EcoBoost, right? Like none of the EcoBoost sound good. I mean, I don't mind the sound of them, but I get what you're saying. Yeah. You're enjoying that, Jack. Yeah. Look at yourself in the mirror. I got to make sure I'm not rubbing the microphone. Yeah, yeah. It's sick, though. Yeah. Jeff Gordon here. Pepsi. Yeah. That's right. I love Pepsi, and I hate Coke. Nah, Coke's good, too. Coke's good, too. It also depends on the liver. But I would still always take Pepsi. What was I saying? I don't know. It's just a sick jacket, isn't it? Oh, no. So the V6 thing. Yeah, yeah. Since it's not a top dog, it's okay. Yeah, yeah. And like, I don't think it sounds good at all. But when you put it in quiet mode for the exhaust, like, it's tolerable to the point that, like, you know, you're cruising along. It's not drifting. Now, the big thing that you do here is all the wind, and it's, like, it's definitely a thing. But, like, okay, yo, the second you actually buy one of these, you better get those doors that are just tubes. Yes. And then, you know what? Just leave it. Just wind. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. For the summer, 100%. I would do all of that. Leave it parked in my garage. No top. No... Actually, I don't even know if this would fit in my... I gotta test if this fits in my garage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I haven't done that yet. All right. Okay. This whole video might be... The opinion might be canceled if it doesn't fit in the garage. I really don't want to park this outside, even though I have been this week. But, yeah, honestly, I just straight up love this thing. Like, it's the coolest truck. Can you still do the balancing thing? Yes, I can. That's what everyone loves in the comments. I know, I know. I figured that out years ago, and I've been doing it ever since. So, it's my trademark now. So, let me just downshift. I like third gear for this stuff. So, brakes, gas. I remember when I tried to do that in the Octa, there was that, like, gas delay, and it wouldn't let me do that. So, you could still do that. It's better than the Octa, eh? I think so. Because it's worse. Like, it's louder. It's more brash. But, like... Kind of cooler? Kind of cooler. Like, you know, Octa had a V8, but, like, this is way cooler still. Okay. Pop the hood. Do we have a dipstick with that not V8? Yes, we do. It's yellow. What's the Total Energy's recommended oil for a Bronco Raptor? That would be the Quartz 9000 Future FGC 5W30. Always follow your manufacturer recommended guidelines. Which is nice to see a normal oil weight. You know? Like, 5W30. That's a good old weight. That's my favorite, bro. I would take a bath in that if it was legal. I mean, it's not illegal. It's just not recommended. I don't know. Have you ever tried? That's not the body recommended oil. That would be baby oil, according to somebody on the internet. That would be weird. Yeah. But I've been watching that documentary about that guy. Who? 50 Cent made it. I didn't watch it. No, I didn't. Okay. So, 50 Cent went on a specific... Look, this guy. The layers that this guy has put down to, like, destroy that guy. Oh, man. We got hard buttons and all that stuff. Like, you can operate this with gloves. We have hard buttons up top for all of our cool stuff. Like, we have our sway bar disconnect. We have a front locker, rear locker, and we have the trail turn assist. When you buy this, what are you going to connect these aux switches to? Literally nothing. Just like my Raptor. Like a horn? Yeah, no. That's... It's not a... What's that car? Duke's Hazard car. In general, Lee? Yeah, that's cool. Dodge Charger? Yeah. We should review an orange Dodge Charger. We should, yeah. Oh, we didn't even make a reference to Duke's Hazard. No, because it was orange, too. And then, otherwise, this interior, like, this steering wheel feels really nice, the leather. More importantly, is there anything that you've noticed in your time with this that you do not like that is a deal breaker or something that you would have to change if you bought it? What are you not happy with? I mean, nothing. Like, other than, obviously, the V6, like I mentioned, and, like, some of the wind noise. But, like, that's part of the charm as well. The carplay works? It works perfect. The screen is massive. You can make it a little bit smaller. There's no lag like it is on a Mustang. Gauge cluster laggy or no? Not at all. Like, watch this. Wow. And it's got tons of torque. Like, I do have to compliment the EcoBoost. Can you tow with it? Not much. So, I'd have to keep my F-150 as the regular tow vehicle. So, I'd have, like, two truck-y cars. But, like, this one can't tow. Not much. So, it's like... Okay, okay. So, you like this. But, like, there is a two-door Bronco. Yes. That still exists. Yes. Since this isn't a V8, wouldn't it just be cooler to V8 swap and lift a two-door Bronco? But, the amount of money you'd spend to do that, you'd be in one of these. And I'd rather... Has anyone built one? We've got to look that up. They have, for sure. Yeah? Yeah. There's a whole company that swaps V8s into Broncos in F-150. We met them at SEMA. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That would be the sickest. Let's get you into the driver's seat. All right. I've got to find some stuff wrong with this car. Come on, Jeff. Jeff. Your name is Jeff. My name is Jeff. It fits a small coffee just fine. It fits my phone just fine. We've got wires. See, the visor extends. Three, two, one. Yeah. It really extends. Dude, there's got to be something wrong with this car. You're not going to find it. The one thing, again, part of the charm, being able to take the doors off and stuff, in the winter, is it's kind of cold in here. Because, like, you know, the gaps aren't exactly perfect. So, like, when you're initially driving this car in the morning, like I'm driving it to school, it's not, like, fully warmed up yet. It's a little cold on, like, the side of your leg, until it, like, really warms up in here. And the fan speed is, like, insanely loud. Like, let's see if I can... It's like, if you leave it on auto, it's this. Oh, yeah. Well, I never leave it on auto, so... Yeah. You know, this power, this engine, the sound, kind of like it more than the new Dodge Charger. I do, too. It's so torquey, and the 10-speed works really well here. No pumped-in audio, like, it sounds, like, cool. Like, I... I know you like your V6s, but, like... And look, we just drove the Dodge Charger six-pack or whatever. Yes. If it had this steering wheel... Yeah, yeah. These paddles... Yeah. This motor, and this amount of pumped in, it would be good. I know. It would be, like, Ford already sold, like, this steering wheel, that Dodge... I know. This fixes everything that's wrong with the Charger, unrelated. Yeah. But, whatever. Yeah, watch both videos, so you understand every reference. Oh, yeah. It's winter outside. Get your Viking Contact 8s on your car. Yes, just like Yuri and I have on both of our personal vehicles. That's the Continental Recommended tires. The majority of our personal vehicles. And I put Secure Contact AWs on my dad's Subaru, because he doesn't like winter tires, doesn't believe it, because I guess he got through life with just all seasons. So, now he's got all weathers with the snowflake on the mountain. And little does he know... And I should mention, though, that this thing is on 37s, and it just looks so cool on factory 37s. Yeah. And the wheels are, like, beadlock capable as well. I think they're forged as well, because this has, like, some kind of blackout package and everything. So... And we got the big tire on the trunk. I know what I hate about this car. What's that? License plate placement. Okay. Fair. Vomit-inducing. Yeah, but, like, what are you going to do about it? Nothing. I don't know. That's what I'm asking you. Yeah, yeah. Nothing. Just ride dirty, but, like, whatever. It's like the Plymouth Prowler. Would you put a license plate on the front of that? I mean, I wouldn't own one, so no. Not possible. I sold mine. But you could put a winch there and just be like, oh, sorry, the winch blocks the license plate. Yeah, yeah. We got it. Okay, hard button climates. Heck, yeah. 360 camera's good. Heck, yeah. Okay, so... Normal shifter. Hang on. 360 camera, the width of this thing. It is kind of difficult to park, because... Not because I suck at parking, but because everybody else sucks at parking. So you have to, like, get this thing dead in the lane. It's because this is too big for parking space. Yes. Which, look, I can get this dead center into lanes. That's not a problem. It's other people not getting their cars dead center into lanes and, like, trying to get my son into there in the car seat. It is possible. That's fine, though. You know, when you drive big, dumb cars, like, that's half the fun is having to park far away. Yeah. You know what? There is a USB up on the dash, which is good for a dash cam, probably. Yep. And then you could put, like, GoPro accessories on this, like, rail and stuff. That's what they always talk about. You know what? I bought a new car. Yep. And I'm gonna do a video. All the things you need when you buy a new car. Nice. I got my floor mats ready. I got my rust proofing lined up. I got my Viking Contact 8s on. There's a bunch of other little things. Sirius XM I already got. My free trial going. I need a dash cam. Oh. What other weird stuff do I need? I need to put a tracker on there. I think just an AirPod. AirTag. AirTag, yeah. You gotta show everyone where you hide it. Yeah, yeah. I don't have it. No one's gonna steal it. So, yeah, yeah. Look forward to that. It'll be a surprise, but it's, you know, whatever. I also bought my wife a car, but I'm not sure when we're gonna film that, because she actually has to drive it. And you won't even know what that is, because that's a wild car. Yeah, and if there's anything else you guys want to give me for my brand new car, or tell me I should get for my brand new car that people get for brand new cars, let me know. A tracker for your insurance so they can monitor what you drive? No chance! Yeah. Never. All right. Hellcat swap. That's what. Somebody send him a Hellcat swap. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. We have USB-C and USB-A. That's pretty sick. It is. And the plaque. Man, there's actually nothing to hate about this car. I feel like there never was anything to hate about this car. Exactly. Oh, man. It's the sickest. Like, I don't have much room back there, but it also doesn't matter. My son fits. Not for you. Yeah, yeah. Trunk room is good. Yeah, decent enough trunk space. The one funny thing is, because you got that massive 37 on the back, that strut is gonna, like, wear out for sure, because it's, like, the amount of weight that thing is taking. Okay. This little pitch and roll. It's an old Bronco. Yeah. It has a roll cage or, like, an off-road one. You know, live in the present, guys. That's a fun part of the term, though. No, live in the present. BMW, too. I don't want to see the 1M in the Engage cluster. Just live in the present. Show the car you have. Yeah. Come on, guys. I don't mind it. All right. And then on tsb.trucar.com, can you find some cheaper ones? Oh, yeah. But it's probably too much to import from the States. That's the thing. It's, like, I looked there. I looked on Cars and Bids, as well. Shout out, Doug. They go for much cheaper used in the States. Like, I wish I could pay those prices, but, like, man, our Canadian dollar is so crap right now that, like, there's no point. Man, this car is so good. I know. And, like, just the Fox shocks. Like, everything is adjustable. You've got all your steering wheel controls. Like, I've been driving this in Baja off-road mode because it's, like, so nice and soft. Okay. You know how I say there's, like, no good cars after, like, 2020? This is the exception. What was the year this was built? 2022, I think, is the first one we drove. Right. So this is... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is becoming the last of, like, the off-roady SUVs. Like, this is pretty... Ford has still pulled some cool stuff out of their butts, like a Raptor R F-150, right? Yeah. Imagine something like that in this. Once this gets a Raptor R motor, then will you no longer consider the Raptor a possibility to buy? Oh, man. No, because the price is, like, so insane. Even for this one. That's the one downside of this whole thing is the price. All right. Let's get to the price. It starts at $115,525. Canadian. And this one is $134,670. Yo, that's a lot of money. Yeah, so when I said I would consider one, I'm waiting for, like, the 50 grand used mark. Yeah, for a... Which is still a lot of money. In 15 years when we're making videos, I bought the cheapest Bronco Raptor in the world. And nobody cares. Hoovey's already bought seven of them. Exactly. But, like... And your kid's 20 years old. Which would be the right time to buy. You know what? And then give it to him. Yeah. That'd be sick. My son, don't watch this video in the future unless I already gave you that car. You're watching 20 years in the future. Thanks for watching. Thanks for subscribing. And let us know if it's the new year or before the new year. Merry Christmas. Give your friends cool gifts like this. Yeah. I'm pretty sure you didn't get me anything last year. I got you that motor. Remember that little motor you built? Yeah, I remember. I built it with my son. I think we're even, though. I just don't remember what I got you, so maybe I did. Maybe you did. It's okay. We alternate. I'm Jacob. I'm Yuri. And we just went for a drive. Watch this Defender Octavideo next. It's kind of like a British Bronco Raptor.
