Sure! That’s not an agreement though

Agreed. I think an agreement is much harder than just avoiding the Ford trademarks and relying on not having them.

Well while the suit is probably valid, can’t deny thats awesome! Cool overhauls they do. Shame they couldn’t work out an agreement instead.

Meh NAL

But being real; morally the lawsuit doesn’t sound valid, like its a cottage industry that should be allowed to exist, throwing a blue oval on these makes sense and seems like a valid use of styling that doesn’t actually defraud ford

$169,000? That is insane.

It’s giving me a base price of $249,500. Very insane

Crazy till you see the regular Bronco Raptor is pushing 100k… What a ripoff.

I quite like the Braptor. I wish it had ventilated seats in it for that price though.

@EnclaveEnthusiastRon
No don’t get me wrong, it’s awesome. But the same engine and platform for the Ranger Raptor is like $57k… I know the Bronco is more capable off-road, but come on, let’s be real. That ain’t worth no $90k. Which is why you can find a ton all over the country in stock, sitting there.

@Willow
Who said a Branco is more capable off-road then a ranger genuinely curious I run mud trucks and this first iv herd of this they seems to have bad case of being very heavy and not balanced well in that department ie I have pulled out quite a few of them

A company has to protect it’s trademarks, if they don’t they lose them.

31

That’s one of the dumbest things they could do and they built the Pinto.

32

Not surprising, those of us in the classic bronco community knew this was likely to happen.

33

Waaaaaa they had the option to do it.

Well, you can’t do it AND make it safe. Why else do you think there aren’t more Willys Quads and Model Ts on the roads?

35

Definitely not as stupid as suing the Ford ranger forums for having forums on raptors!

36

Clearly a money grab that no one cares about, who wouldn’t want a more retro styled bronco
