What’s The Best Raptor? Ford Raptor Ranger vs Bronco Raptor vs F-150 Raptor R!

[@mikes.8305]

The answer, after owning all three. Bronco Raptor is the funnest overall if you want to take the top off. It’s also probably the best and only one that can do the rubicon stock without the much damage and then go do Baja afterward. The f150 gen 3 on 37s was the most lux. By far the quietest and incredibly rowdy doing Baja stuff. It’s not the best daily though. Unless you like not fitting well in the lanes on the highway or in any parking spot that exists. The Ranger raptor is the best all rounder, super fun to do some Baja stuff, really decent rock crawler, despite the 33s. It’s also by far the best deal. Still does just enough truck stuff for me, and is a hoot to drive as a daily. Out of the 3 if I could only own one it would be Raptor Ranger hands down.

Now I make 6 figures and my wife is close to that and I still feel these are ridiculous prices compared to just 4-5 years ago.

I wanted a RR but when looking at the F150 Raptor used market I found my old 2019 Raptor. I had to sell it a year ago because finances but my finances are fixed and I bought it back. 100%, no regrets. As someone who grew up tuning cars, I love the way the 3.5 sounds.

[@byronlarson5534]

The smaller footprint of the Ranger Raptor would make it a no brainer for me. The others are quite large.

[@IronmanV5]

Couldn't agree more on the Ranger Raptor over the other two. Some ranch roads down here in South Texas are the same as far as vegetation making them narrower. And when I go to the beach, the Ranger will fit in carwashes better to rinse that salt residue off. Plus you have the bed to keep the stinky stuff in😂.

[@boboso7238]

Until you lose a turbo, oil line, intercooler, wastegate, etc. If you are running boost offroad as a civilian in a truck and no pit crew, it needs to be lower maintenance like a supercharger. Easier to carry and swap a belt than diagnose a boost leak or a million other issues on a turbo.

[@1mlb704]

I agree with you, the width/size is an issue with the F-150 and Bronco. If you actually want to take them off-road, it's tough because most trails are tight, at least where you are and also around here in New England. I think the Ranger Raptor, Colorado ZR2, Tacoma TRD Pro, and the standard Wrangler and Bronco are all better for these trails.

[@damiangutierrez9103]

The F-150, no argument there. It’s so comfortable, quiet, and efficient even on 37s. People often exaggerate how big the F150 Raptor but I live in the PNW, and I take the truck to hiking trails every weekend. 1ft of snow? No problems. Unseen big potholes? No problems. Rutted NF roads? No problems. It’s the best truck I’ve ever owned. Does it get scratched? Sure. But it’s an off-road truck. I don’t care.

[@carlirving2138]

TFL has great informative videos but I have to be a bit critical on Roman stating the Ranger Raptor has 280 hp at 10,000 feet. He knows or should know the 3% loss per 1000 feet doesn’t apply to forced induction in this case turbo vehicles. Yes, depending on the turbo you can lose power but not 3% per 1000 feet. Garrett turbo has a great site called boost advisor that can tell you what is required in turbo to maintain sea level performance.

[@robertedwards7430]

The Bronco Raptor all day, the Ranger Raptor is good but not on the level of the Bronco Raptor. I'd never pay the price of admission for the 150 Raptor R, aside from that, I'd high center that Raptor R all day long, it's way too long for any serious technical trails.
