Most truck salesmen are not informed about the own product their selling, their goal is just to sell as many vehicles as possible.

it was my understanding that they were discontinuing the Raptor and making the SVT Bronco in 2016. Whatever happens, whether its the bronco making a return, or the Raptor, don't expect to see it in 2015. It would come out in 2016. We've all seen pictures of the Raptor in the new body style, and we have all seen pictures of the bronco/atlas concept. Just don't get upset when you find out that there will be no more big v8's. Its almost certain that ford is done with big v8's and is moving to all turbo powered small engines.

Here-say...... There is no facts to back any of this. The only thing that has been noted by Ford is no raptor for 2015, other than that they aren't talking.

Let me guess. You saw this fake photoshopped atlas concept turned into a bronco by some random person and created a story around it?

What do you mean by your 'understanding' ? Other than a fake picture thats been around for quite a while now, what information led you to believe this?





And lets not forget this one, that's like 10 years old now





Should we throw this fake in as well, for good measure?



This one almost looks real




The whole "the bronco is coming back!" crowd have been going on about this for the last decade. There is no way on earth Ford would build a full size 2 door SUV, it made no sense back then and it makes even less sense now. They build vehicles to make money. The Raptor was a big success and they were able to sell them for a premium. Why would they just discontinue something that was selling great (for what it was) and decide to bring out some big useless 2 door suv. I don't understand why guys always bring this up

I'm going back to the part of the forum where people aren't asses and have constructive feedback. Will never come to the newer side of the forum ever again.

Sorry if that was a bit snarky.. please forgive me.
Don't let one *** ruin the whole forum for you.


But seriously, the whole "I heard the Bronco is coming back!!" thing is just so old. Sorry if I didn't convey that a little nicer.

Meh, if you take anything, on any forum, too serious, you'll probably have a bad time.

Truck trend has seen photos of a 2015 f150 with 2014 raptor fenders, they were saying they spied the 2016 raptor being tested, would make sense, ford would be stupid to quit making the raptors, and in my opinion there stupid to quit making the v8 in the raptors, it needs to be a option a twin turbo v6 or the new 5L and wat the heck why not offer a twin turbo 5L also!! It wud probly pump 600hp or more, Ford needs to keep up with the Chevy reaper they ain't goin to do it with a little boosted v6. Ford needs to remember that there's no replacement for displacement!!! Anyway Praise the Lord for the big block Ford!! Lol
