Disgusting Depreciation! (Used Ford Bronco Raptor)

[@TruckingShooter]

Just goes to show you how overpriced these were initially. I would argue 70k plus is still to much.

[@dagothodros641]

50k is a lot for this POS from Ford. Guaranteed this rig will be in the shop bc of that great Ford reliability.

[@theczar6171]

I was waiting for them to get devalued to the correct price. I was surprised when they came out used they were selling for as much as a new one. But then I knew you just have to wait it out and in reality this is good news cause I’ve always wanted one.and the way I see it let that price keep crashing downward.

The real story is not the 25% depreciation in a year - it's the $100k starting price. IMO, anyway.

[@OGsteve205]

$70K-$75K is still too expensive. Prices should be around $60K-$65K.

I agree for 65k I’d get one

There’s still dealers asking over MSRP on used cars, was looking at 22 Raptor with 14k miles new was 82k asking used 89k …. Worse part is a lot of people are willing to overpay !!!!

[@lgmisfit10]

Doesn’t make sense to me when I’ve see this 💀 Can’t believe people actually overpay

Local dealer has a bronco raptor for sale 105K LOL. I wouldn't pay 105k for a v6 off roader unless it had 50k in cash hidden in the back

[@amandeepbains6193]

sorry you had a bad experience Ben. I have the 2024 bronco raptor which I use in alaska, highways and off road trails/logging roads. Its the most amazing off-roader. Take that from someone who has the f150 raptor and have had the Toyota landcriser, Range Rover and armada. the bronco has excellent suspension, ride precision handling with excellent turn circle for tight narrow trail roads. Because it has a short wheel base you have to watch it on high speed of roads turns and catch it if it oversteers ( a problem with any sort wheel base vehicle). I can tell you it can do more than I can possibly drive it. Overall I have been very impressed with it. If I did not have the chance to use it on alaska in various conditions I probably wold not have known how special and seeing this vehicle is, it truly shines in extreme conditions which you wuld not know from regular driving. It is very comfortable what it is designed to do. So far it is reliable with no electrical issues. Is it overpriced yes, but its an amazing machine coming out of th factory. The depreciation is painful for sure but that's because of what you described in your video. Its more fun than the f150 raptor for sure.

[@jameshoopes6467]

The best way to flush money down the toilet these days is to buy a new car. And the more you spend, the more you flush away.

[@zmotorpro]

I agree with everything you said here. Automotive consumer price index (CPI) is still at parabolic highs and will soon gain speed with a return to the mean and potentially further (lower MSRP's). Everything moves in cycles and this cycle started in March/April 2021 with the markup shenanigans and then peaked in Sept '23. Automakers and dealers think they live in a different reality and they will try to convince you that prices will never come back down. It's a lie. Why? It's just part of the cycle. Thanks for your honest opinion of the Braptor!

[@TheGreekbull]

This is all great news! Hopefully they continue to plummet in price! They should be back down at the original release MSRP of $75K great buy at that price!

[@bryanspilner7370]

That’s a 60k vehicle tops. The de appreciation is just proper re-valuation

[@TSi99999]

Thank you Jeep and Ram Powerwagon for keeping the manual shift 4WD transer cases. Probably dependable, but l prefer manual shift over the pushbutton.

[@joshnahm8911]

First time I bought, $113k a year ago, sold at 90k. Bought one last week 71k ($77860 after tax/fees) Cheapest new in the country! WOOOO

[@HedgeFun35]

It's probably double the $25k depreciation, considering that all dealers were tacking on 15-25k ADM on these.

[@CocoNut2018]

The depreciation is more to the seller. The person has to sell less than the dealer's asking price.

[@blakemarchand6650]

I traded mine for the same reason, but mine also had some issues that worried me being so far from home

[@dierkrieger]

Toyota went from heroes to zeros doing the same BS every dealership is doing. If I were spending big money on an off-road vehicle it would be a INIOS.

[@liquidsilver1964]

If only you could have gotten them at 2022 and 2023 mrsp of 80k. 70k used wouldn’t be bad at all tbh. So sad the dealers marked these way up, the Mrsp rose to 90k

[@Briannaf57]

I own a 2-door Bronco myself and while I do love it, it is a piece of shit quality wise. The Raptor should be $65,000 with all the options. Toyota is also pulling this crap right now with the new Land Cruiser which is $30,000 over what it should be.

[@benjaminlambert8944]

I’m curious as to how much you got for it in a trade when you did sell it. And I’m looking at brand new 23s going for $79,000 fully loaded right now.

[@madjackgamingandfitness498]

Depreciation hits harder off the lost when all prices are being inflated 30-50%

[@genebooher1778]

Ben I jest watched a video about the Cdjr dealer in sandy getting their tires / wheels stolen from the lot !!! Even the jeeps their spare tires stolen they need to put wheel locks on all their vehicles till they sale them!!!!

[@szczurrat2402]

Bike shop guy here... I'm curious what the service is for those shocks...

[@theczar6171]

So what I’m hearing is we’re back to normal card depreciation. You drive off the lot and you lose $20,000. And the rest of us who’ve been waiting for these prices to drop so we could buy a used one. Our dreams will soon be fulfilled.

[@mutestyles]

Original MSRP was 67 and change. About what it was worth. Most of the options were pretty useless ones. People have been tuning other bronco suspensions to drive way faster and stable off-road and Ford couldn't get it right with this one.

[@Salman-el6kt]

you might be surprised that it costs more than 114000 in my country (Dubai) which is insane

[@broncofun5636]

Majority of these sold for $120,000 when they first came out

[@nm-qt2hb]

You are talking about an original selling price that included hugh dealer mark ups. I don't believe the Ford sticker was over $100,000.

[@louis0187]

Interesting analysis of why they aren’t selling but I think the exact answer is somewhere in the rambling of the video. Specifically for the reasons that you mentioned why you didn’t like yours. It’s just too big for most people and could be seen as con for off-roading. When you factor in the price, it’s a no for most people. On the other hand the other Bronco trims are definitely becoming popular. I see them everywhere. I’ve never seen a Bronco Raptor. Lastly, there a various off road SUVs that are currently overpriced and I suspect given a few years they will depreciate in value just like this Raptor. For example the new Landcruiser and Granadier. Way overpriced for what you get.

[@tjgim]

Totally agree with the too much $ assessment.

[@josexavier2912]

No the kings of depreciation are either BMW 😂 and Mercedes Benz

[@Dfgbuiiyyyybb]

So basically what you’re saying is that no matter how much money Ford charges there will always be issues. This car is a very nice down payment for a house.

[@jay315-z5k]

To be fair the 3.0 makes more power than the 3.5, but the Coyote, or even the supercharged 5.2 would make this car more worth it.

[@michaelsheets6851]

Bronco Raptor 3.0 makes 418-hp and 440 pound-feet of torque. The 3.5 makes 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque.

Damn I was expecting like 50k, 100k is wild. I mean it's a cool car but not that cool 😅

[@mikesnook6210]

In the Raleigh area there are over 40 Bronco Raptors for sale… including several new 2023’s! I bet the people who were paying Covid markups have lost 50% or more. They aren’t worth 60k new. I test drive one for fun, not impressed at all.

Hey Ben, looking to either buy a wrangler 4xe rubicon or a bronco. Based off of your experience what would you recommend? I live in Vegas and would do very minimal off roading, more overland if anything. Thoughts?

[@wd8085]

Finally someone said the obvious part out loud. These new trucks are not built with quality and the value shows that. i don't care if we are talking chevy, ford, toyota.etc... The only ones who knows the new stuff are built for profits and not reliabilty anymore is the dealers offering low prices on trade ins.

Broncos are having a fire sale. Used 2022 ones with 55k miles are selling for $42k. Meanwhile my local ford is trying to sell brand new 24’s for 10% off MSRP, at around $40-45k. Used market is gonna get hit hard

[@FieldWorxoverlandadventures]

There’s no difference between the jeep 392 depreciation in the bronco raptor, and since I’ve owned both I do prefer the bronco raptor especially when you make your own settings on the performance modes it comes to life, I know some people think it feels big but it’s not, the more saddle time you put in the more you get used to it, on the road in the proper modes it’s awesome it also tows a small trailer incredible much better than a Jeep, I agree on the cost of everything these days it’s completely out of hand go try to buy a 1 ton truck they’re over $100,000 it’s ridiculous, but there’s nothing on the market that you can purchase right now that comes off the shelf and basically is ready to go off Roading, and on road manners it handles so good and is so comfortable and it’s extremely fun to drive, if you’re comparing power for example the jeep 392 yes the 392 is quicker but not that much quicker off the line on the bottom the 392 is quicker but runs out quickly, where are the bronco raptor makes up for the difference. Off-road if someone is only rock crawling then jeep is the way to go but if you want to just get out and enjoy and go anywhere pretty much you want the bronco raptor it’s the way to go especially on long trips and you can do some simple modifications to it for example installing a winch getting a couple more inches of ground clearance different offset wheels and more aggressive tires and it becomes awesome, you could not build a vehicle with this suspension etc. for the cost of what you could get one for.

Yeah, better to buy the base model of the range. Like my 2023 Mustang GT 6 speed. It has the V8 and tranny that I really wanted with no options. It was cheap in comparison to the higher trim models. It's black with chrome badges and looks killer. I tip my hat to the fellas that have the premium Mustangs and the Shelby's. I have just as much fun as they do.

Right now guarantee Ford Motor Company is studying every inch of their now extra cheaped out Ford Maverick as that item *IS* Ford Motor Company going on all Year 2024 and going forward. Whole Industry of Detroit has no idea how lucky they are not to be Toyota at the moment...but that's about it for this huge massive Global Industry that for some reason still hasn't discovered the insane price gouging that can commence upon putting a small diesel engine inside this same said product reviewed here ... plus the depreciation will not be *NEARLY* as staggering were that to be an option...no different from Jeep either duly noted. Why someone would ever put an insanely engineered computer system in a vehicle designed specifically for off roading is beyond me as couldn't the wireless charging pad and a free cell phone with purchase suffice?...but again...Jeep does the same thing. Ye Olde *"add two more door and double the price!"* thing never made much sense either. Still wait until the word gets out how much people paid for that $100,000,000 million US Dollar piece of real estate was splurged on...in a Hurricane Zone in Florida! Anyhow is with any mania *"still gotta move the metal even after the crash"* and this one crashed over two Years ago now so amazing only starting to be felt right now today yes, absolutely.
