We just had a 22 with 7k traded in at the Toyota dealer I work at. I sent it to Stacy haha

Anyone go from a 392 Wrangler to a BRaptor? I'm a Ford guy at heart and have owned a 13 Raptor (loved) and an 18 Raptor (didn't love). Moved to a 2020 JLU Rubicon and then to a 2022 392 Wrangler. I know I'd love the BRaptor but not sure if I'd end up missing the 392. Also trying to convince my wife it would be a good vehicle for her and our two kids 5 and 3 LOL.

Not a direct comparison, but I did have a 2010 JKU I put 200k on and a TRX I traded for the BRaptor...

Handles better than jeep, way better than my 2010, maybe jeep has gotten better with your newer models.

Power is there, I'm not missing the TRX too bad and I'm nearly 300hp down lol. It does weigh 800lbs less and feels way more nimble so that helps. A ZFG tune and intercooler with e50 puts you in high 12s 1/4mi if it's a huge concern.

My 7yo girl fits great in the back and loves it. Back seat is more comfy than my 2010 JKU, but not near as nice and roomy as the TRX (of course). She already got some fresh pink toe nail polish on the passenger seat before I had 500 miles on it.

As far as a vehicle for your wife...you're gonna want to borrow it alot, and I would have zero qualms about her driving it around. I think after strong arming the awd TRX Around, I'm enjoying the ease of steering and zippy attitude of this rig. I think it's a badass choice for dd

I've driven both. The 392 is a one trick pony in comparison to the BRaptor, but it is one really good trick. The engine is the only real advantage it has, and if you willing to tune the Bronco the power differential favors the BRaptor. There's still no replacing the sound of a V8, but you have to decide how important that is to you.

i didn't look, but was seeing guys in the raptor groups talking about 75k for new...and i only got 13k off lol. next step was to order with @13COBRA but the local guy made it happen, trading for my still broken TRX.

O damn....I just bought a 24 Delmonico Red TRX. What happened to yours? Hopefully nothing too bad.

I enjoyed my time I had with it, but it's on its 16th week in the shop in total, this time for a valve body(2k part). First time was a leaking brake fluid reservoir that ruined other parts beneath it. Fun truck, looks great, overkill to the max...I decided I wouldn't own it outta warranty. You picked a beautiful color and I hope yours is great!
