The Ford Bronco Raptor Just Got a Huge Price Cut
Last year, when Ford announced pricing for the 2025 Bronco , it listed the Raptor as starting at $91,930, with destination. But if you check Ford's consumer site right now, you'll see the off-road SUV has a significantly lower MSRP. The 2025 Bronco Raptor now starts at $81,990, nearly $10,000 cheaper than before. The reason for the price cut is related to a shakeup with the base Bronco lineup. A Ford spokesperson told Motor1 that it's "adjusting the price of the Bronco Raptor to provide customers who prefer a four-door with another high-performance vehicle option" because it replaced the two- and four-door Wildtrack trim with the two-door-only Stroppe "as the top off-road package in the base Bronco lineup." Ford Bronco Stroppe Edition Photo by: Ford Under the hood of the Raptor is a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine making 418 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque. It's Ford's high-performance competitor to the Jeep Wrangler 392 , which is more powerful, producing 470 hp, but, as of now, way more expensive than the Bronco. The Jeep starts at over $100,000. The rest of the Bronco lineup isn't as lucky as the Raptor. The entry-level Bronco Base, reintroduced for 2025, is $1,010 more expensive than before, and the Bronco Big Bend is now an additional $940. All other Bronco trims are $100 more expensive, but the added cost comes from a higher destination fee. Ford is now charging $1,995 to ship the 2025 Bronco, up from $1,895—a minor adjustment when many in the industry are raising prices by the thousands. 2025 Ford Bronco Trim New Price (w/ $1,995 destination fee) Old Price (w/ $1,895 destination fee) Price Difference Base $40,990 $39,980 +$1,010 Big Bend $43,215 $42,265 +$950 Outer Banks $49,935 $49,835 +$100 Heritage Edition $51,470 $51,370 +$100 Badlands $52,380 $51,990 +$100 Stroppe Edition $77,630 $77,530 +$100 Raptor $81,990 $91,930 -$9,940 Here's More Ford Pricing News: The Cheapest Ford Maverick Now Costs $30,000 Thanks to Tariffs Ford Extends Employee Pricing for All After Huge Success Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use .

You Can't Get a New Ford Bronco for Under $40K Anymore
The latest car news, reviews, and features. There are winners and losers in a new wave of Ford Bronco price adjustments. The Bronco Raptor, for example, is now $10,000 less, bringing it back down to where it was for the 2023 model year. On the other end of the spectrum is the two-door Bronco Base, which went up from $39,890 after destination to $40,990. In turn, the sub-$40,000 Bronco is gone. Entry-level Bronco pricing has flip-flopped in the last two years, first with the removal of the Base trim and then again with its reintroduction in late 2024. It's still around today, though a $1,000 MSRP increase and $100 uptick in destination fees push it above $40,000. That isn't a huge jump, especially compared to others we've seen recently, but crossing that threshold is what makes this noteworthy. And if you're about to compare that to the Bronco's roughly $30,000 starting price at launch, just remember: The world isn't the same as it was in 2020. While the COVID pandemic was still ramping up, there was no telling exactly how it would continue to affect the supply chain and the economy at large. The Bronco Base is also slightly better equipped now with a standard 12-inch digital gauge cluster and additional sound deadening. For the newly adjusted starting price of $40,990, you get a Bronco with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbo-four, a seven-speed manual transmission, and a 4.46 rear axle ratio. You can spec the 10-speed automatic for $1,795. There are plenty of off-road upgrades available on the Base, though effectively all of them are locked behind the $8,460 Sasquatch package. That adds a comprehensive list of improvements, from front and rear locking differentials to 35-inch tires, taller suspension, position-sensitive Bilstein shocks, a 4.70 final drive, and a more advanced 4×4 system. Meanwhile, the Bronco Raptor's new $81,990 base price narrows the gap to the core Bronco lineup. A Ford spokesperson told The Drive that this was the main motivator for the adjustment: 'With the new two-door-only Bronco Stroppe replacing the two- and four-door Wildtrak model as the top off-road package in the base Bronco lineup, we are adjusting the price of the Bronco Raptor to provide customers who prefer a four-door with another high-performance vehicle option. The pricing applies to 2025 model year Bronco Raptor customer orders and dealer inventory.' With the Wildtrak trim gone, the highest-performance four-door Bronco not named Raptor is the $53,075 Badlands. The two-door, V6-only Stroppe Edition starts at $77,630—about $4,400 less than the Raptor. Got a tip or question for the author? Contact them directly: caleb@

Ford Slashes 2025 Bronco Raptor Base Price By More Than $10,000
The Ford Bronco Raptor just got $10,040 less expensive in the middle of the 2025 model year, with the price of the hardcore off-road SUV coming down to a starting MSRP of $79,995. This price reduction, initially reported by Ford Authority, arrives as a mid-model year shift. The 2025 Raptor initially went on sale for $90,035, but as of this story's publication, the configurator now lists it with the new $79,995 starting point. Adding the destination charge of $1995 (up $100 since the beginning of the 2025 model year) brings you to an out-the-door price of $81,990. Don't get too hype about the big decrease, however, as it's just the latest adjustment in what has been a pricing merry-go-round for the Bronco Raptor ever since it launched. The starting price for the Raptor at launch was a mere $68,500, but multiple price increases soon after brought prices into the mid-$80,000 range. The 2024 and beginning of 2025 model years saw the highest starting price yet, cresting $90,000 even before options. Today, though, the price for a Bronco Raptor is as cheap as it's been since 2023. It's common to see prices for a vehicle increase over time, but the massive shifts of the Bronco Raptor are anything but the norm. (Road & Track queried Ford to get a handle on why the price suddenly decreased mid-model year by such a large amount, but had not heard back as of this story's original publication time; we'll update this story if we hear back) Ford already had an advantage over the Jeep Wrangler 392 on price, but now the gap between the two is $20,000. Yes, Jeep's V8-powered Wrangler starts at $99,995 these days. That said, tacking on a few high-dollar options to the 2025 Raptor will get you within shouting distance of the pricey Wrangler, so mind your spec if you want to make the most of these new savings.

These Are The Cars You'd Put Up With Horrible Gas Mileage To Daily Drive
Earlier this week I asked you to share what cars you would put up with horrible gas mileage to daily drive, something you love so much that fuel economy would be no concern no matter how bad. My example was the Mercedes-AMG G63, which despite going mild-hybrid for 2025 is still horrible inefficient. In a week with one I averaged just 9 mpg, and surely not all the blame goes to my potentially heavy right foot. Even though it has a 26-gallon fuel tank, and fill-ups would cost well over $100 every twice-weekly visit to the pump, I love that damn thing so much that I'd deal with it. (If I was actually in the G-wagen's price bracket, at least.) You all came up with tons of answers — well over one hundred, in fact — so I've whittled it down to my favorite baker's dozen. Some of you even own or owned the inefficient cars you love, which makes this even better. I'm not gonna bother even including the people who just answers "none," because booooo, have some fun. Keep reading to see all of the cars your fellow readers love enough to overlook horrible gas mileage, and let us know your favorites in the comments. Read more: Nobody Does Land Yachts Like Cadillac, And These Are Five Of The Best Ones I currently daily a 4Runner with semi-dumb that one? brother me too. Same, homie. And with the way these damn things run, I'll be driving it to my own funeral. My 5th Gen 4Runner TRD Off Road Daily drove 4runners since 2017. Weekend toy but no room for 3 vehicles in our household. Decided to switch it up to a Bronco Raptor. Similar horrible mileage but 10x more fun. Puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it. We do have an EV6 GT which is used by whomever has the longer drive most days... Suggested by: anon, FUNHAVER, sclass88, Tom, Az_CRaig I can't believe how many of you are out here dailying those old-ass gas-guzzling things. The new one seems like a big improvement, at least. A '66 Lincoln Continental 4 door convertible. The hardtop I had got 9mpg on a good day and drank super unleaded. But I would GLADLY daily that 'vert!! If I drove it 3 out of 5 days to work, since my current daily gets 40mpg (motorcycle, FTW!!), I'd average out to about 21mpg. Suggested by: Stillnotatony I love someone who genuinely dailies something vintage like this. In dreamland, Porsche 911 Turbo S, by the way in dreamland there is never traffic in my way, and my car emits O2 only. We don't live in dreamland, that's why I'm shopping for a Chevy Bolt, or a Leaf currently. In my dreams, either a 911 4S or LC500. Leaning more towards the LC500 based on TCO. My daily is a 911 Targa 4 GTS, gets around 17.5 around town Suggested by: towman, KP, Fluffy_Black_Dog The thing is, these latest 911s actually get pretty great fuel economy given the segment. I've easily seen over 30 mpg on the freeway and into the 20s in regular daily driving. It would have to sound fantastic. Even though my DD is actually an EV, there is a part of me that would like to have something V8 for a short because I've never owned one, and I never tire of the sound of a good V8. So maybe it should be a convertible too. I guess it has to be an LC500 then. The LC500 is a great choice. Supremely comfortable and sounds pretty good too. Gas mileage isn't completely awful either. Suggested by: dolsh, Featherlite One of my favorite cars on sale, and they actually get pretty great gas mileage on the highway. Around town, though, you'll be wanting to floor it everywhere. Once daily drove a 1992 600SEL. If you organize all the cars on the EPA website from 1984-2025 by city or highway or combined MPG, the 600SEL is on the last couple pages with old Lamborghinis and Ferraris lol EPA quoted 10/14/12 but in stop and go traffic the fuel economy gauge that read up to 50mpg (only while idling...) dropped to 0 as soon as you looked at the accelerator pedal, then slowly crept up to 8-12mpg. ''Twas a fascinating time, replaced it with a Geo XFi for a short time before going back to an S320 LWB Suggested by: Tw@t I'm not really a W140, but I'll always support a V12 Mercedes. Sports cars don't count as gas hogs and how many people truly want to DD something stiff, loud and compromised in traffic? For me, the nostalgia of my dad's V10 Excursion Limited is what I would love to DD. We did a little suspension work so it was much smoother and handled better on road, it towed our travel trailer everywhere, took the sports teams all over ,etc. Most tanks it got 10 mpg, I once saw 20 going downhill out of the gas station right after resetting the computer. They look great, the V10 has a great sound and effortless torque, they are supremely comfortable with the right shocks and they are supremely capable. Suggested by: cintocrunch1 One time, when I was living in Detroit, I called a normal Uber just for myself and the guy showed up in a V10 Excursion. I thought that was wild. For a time, my daily driver was an '05 Ram SRT-10 Quad Cab. That beast got single digit mileage in city and maybe cracked 12 on the highway thanks to the Viper V-10 and an old school 4 speed automatic. I loved it because it was just so damn ridiculous on all levels. Then again, I wasn't paying for the gas as it was my company car. I eventually switched out to a Regular cab SRT-10 with Tremec 6-speed that got like 13-14 mpg if I drove conservatively, which was damn near impossible. Would I daily one of those bad boys today? I think I would, especially the regular cab with the Tremec. Yeah, I daily drive my 2005 SRT-10 manual. 13-14mbg around town, but have hit 17 on the highway. Cannot give up the torque or that V10 sound! Suggested by: Factoryhack, n/a God, remember when Dodge used to really be cool? I love that we have multiple Jalops who have owned these. (And sorry, I just had to include that iconic clip.) Why, the car I drive every day! My Volvo 240 Turbo wagon! It gets 17 to 18 MPG whether you baby it or keep your foot in it, so why not enjoy the boost, I say. Out of 30 odd cars I've owned, it's easily one of my favorites, so it's worth it. For comparison, my old non-turbo 240 wagon would regularly turn in 24 to 25 MPG. Suggested by: I_Borgward I miss my 940 Turbo wagon so much. I never really got great gas mileage with it, but especially not after I straight-piped it. A Bowler Defender. In Left hand drive for the US. They have never made one, and never will. But if it existed, I would drive one. Suggested by: 12MileGeo Now we're talkin'. I see a fair bit of chatter on RX8 forums about dailying the RX8. Having one myself, it is a fantastic chassis. I would drive it every day if I didn't have other options. The suicide rear doors also makes it [somewhat] practical. I can take the whole family out in mine. But with only about 200miles of range on the tank at 14mpg and requiring premium fuel, gets to be quite expensive. If Mazda made another rotary-powered GT car that somehow managed to be magically reliable, I'd do it without hesitation, even in spite of horrible fuel economy. As someone who previously pressed 2 different RX-7s and an RX-8 into daily driver duties (though all at different times) I don't think I'd be willing to do it again given the downtime and maintenance headaches. However, if there were a new Cosmo or refreshed RX-8 that didn't give me constant rebuild anxiety, I'd certainly do it. Having owned both RX-7s and an RX-8 in the past, the 8 is definitely my choice for a daily. While more raw, the 7s were too cramped, noisy, and hot as ovens inside to be enjoyable for long periods of time. The RX-8 was probably my favorite car I've owned for long road trips. The seating position never aggravated my back or shoulders, and the car is engaging enough to prevent fatigue caused by sheer boredom. I could manage about 28-30 MPG cruising on the interstate around 70mph, but my mixed mileage was also right around 14 MPG and sometimes as low as 9 MPG in hellish stop and go. While my current cars have more comfort and tech, I do miss how well the RX-8 could chew up hundreds of miles of road and make me smile the whole time. Suggested by: kwhite, Luxurious King If all of the other Rotary-related problems didn't exist, I'd love to daily an RX-8 even if the gas mileage still sucked. What a great car. An E60 M5 manual. I did it for 5 years, getting about 12 mpg and less than 200 miles per tank. And it was sooo worth it. Suggested by: Jordan Sangerman Another awesome V10 vehicle. I love the E60, but the Bangle 6 Series is what really owns my heart. The F150 Raptor is the single best vehicle I've ever owned and I'll drive one as long as they keep making them and they stay as relatively reliable as they are. I've had a lot of great cars and will continue to have more - 911 Turbo S, Audi R8, C6 and C7 Z06, GTR, C63 AMG, S3, S4, etc, but my Raptor is the single best vehicle I've ever owned, even at 15-17mpg on average. Snow, rain, massive potholes, road debris, etc, doesn't matter. Raptor. Comfort for 5 on even a multi-state drive? Raptor. Luxury options, quiet, super easy to drive, Raptor. Towing the cars to the track? Raptor. Jumping this thing off-road and even tackling rocks, this thing will go anywhere it will fit. It's just one those rare vehicles that does everything better than most and lives up to the hype with the most minimal mods necessary to do even more (like adding bags for towing). And worth mentioning my R8 and C63 got much worse mileage than my Raptor on 37s. Suggested by: Dan Putnam Honestly, I get it. Tank, Tank is always the answer. Horrid gas mileage, check, terribly slow, check. Traffic, not with Tank, someone cut you off, not with tank, coworker p*ss you off, not with tank. Suggested by: James Dodson Maybe we should all be driving tanks. Want more like this? Join the Jalopnik newsletter to get the latest auto news sent straight to your inbox...
