00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:02.250
- [Jose] When Ford introduced
the Ford Bronco Raptor,

2
00:00:02.250 --> 00:00:05.100
what they were trying to do was pick up

3
00:00:05.100 --> 00:00:08.100
where the original Bronco
left off in the 1960s.

4
00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:10.200
Back then, they wanted
to make a sports car

5
00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:11.340
for the off-road.

6
00:00:11.340 --> 00:00:13.710
The more I used the Bronco off-road,

7
00:00:13.710 --> 00:00:15.450
the more I drove it on the trail,

8
00:00:15.450 --> 00:00:18.420
and the more I drove it
even on-road in the canyons,

9
00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:21.000
this is a sports car for the off-road.

10
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:22.560
Of course, the first
thing that you'll notice,

11
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:24.660
the first thing that
anybody's going to notice

12
00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:27.180
when you roll up is just
how wide this thing is.

13
00:00:27.180 --> 00:00:30.797
It's actually not as big or
as long as you would imagine,

14
00:00:30.797 --> 00:00:34.053
it shares its wheel base with
every other four door Bronco,

15
00:00:34.053 --> 00:00:39.053
but it is significantly
wider than all other Broncos.

16
00:00:39.180 --> 00:00:41.340
Then once you manage to
actually climb aboard

17
00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:44.190
the beefy Bronco Raptor,
and sit in the cockpit,

18
00:00:44.190 --> 00:00:47.490
you'll see that it's
still very clearly a 4x4.

19
00:00:47.490 --> 00:00:49.350
This isn't meant to be a luxury SUV,

20
00:00:49.350 --> 00:00:51.810
this isn't trying to
compete with a Land Rover

21
00:00:51.810 --> 00:00:54.720
or a Range Rover in terms of amenities

22
00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:56.499
and how comfortable it is.

23
00:00:56.499 --> 00:01:00.330
(car engine roaring)

24
00:01:00.330 --> 00:01:03.030
In fact, the plastics do feel
a little cheap and flimsy,

25
00:01:03.030 --> 00:01:05.100
they feel like they came out
of the base model Bronco,

26
00:01:05.100 --> 00:01:06.540
and I'm sure they did.

27
00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:08.160
The steering wheel is
very comfortable to hold,

28
00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:11.070
it's thickly padded, and
it has cool orange accents.

29
00:01:11.070 --> 00:01:13.920
The shifter is also well
padded and comfortable to hold.

30
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:15.690
The seats are some of my favorite,

31
00:01:15.690 --> 00:01:17.100
they're very well bolstered

32
00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:19.320
and they have fantastic material on them,

33
00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:20.905
which seems like it'll be easy to clean

34
00:01:20.905 --> 00:01:22.890
after a long day of off-roading.

35
00:01:22.890 --> 00:01:24.150
Among my other favorite things

36
00:01:24.150 --> 00:01:25.740
is the row of toggle switches

37
00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:27.270
just above the rear view mirror.

38
00:01:27.270 --> 00:01:29.400
This controls anything from LED lighting

39
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.476
or winches that drivers
want to add on later.

40
00:01:31.476 --> 00:01:33.030
But my other favorite thing

41
00:01:33.030 --> 00:01:34.830
about the inside of the Ford Bronco Raptor

42
00:01:34.830 --> 00:01:35.910
is the seating position.

43
00:01:35.910 --> 00:01:37.757
You feel like you're
pushed far to the left

44
00:01:37.757 --> 00:01:40.260
so that it makes easier to visualize

45
00:01:40.260 --> 00:01:42.990
where the wide Bronco
Raptor is actually going.

46
00:01:42.990 --> 00:01:45.750
There are two tie-downs
at the end of the hood

47
00:01:45.750 --> 00:01:48.570
and I use these kind of
like sights on a rifle

48
00:01:48.570 --> 00:01:51.060
to point the Bronco Raptor, and just go.

49
00:01:51.060 --> 00:01:52.740
So stay tuned for the
next part of this video,

50
00:01:52.740 --> 00:01:55.080
where we'll talk about
how the Ford Bronco Raptor

51
00:01:55.080 --> 00:01:57.663
actually drives both on-road and off.
