Matt has spent the better part of a decade behind the wheel of Ford's Raptor lineup, but this episode tackles the question he gets asked more than any other. From 2022 to 2025, Matt put three years and 48,000 miles on a Bronco Raptor across Baja, the Mojave, and Moab, before selling it in September 2025 to make room for a growing family.
His replacement was an F-150 Raptor, special ordered on the 801A package and 35" tires, then leveled and fitted with 37" Nitto Terra Grappler G3s on KMC forged wheels, the same setup he ran on his Bronco. For this comparison, Matt lines the F-150 up against the 802A package on 37s, the most analogous trim to the Bronco Raptor, to keep things fair.
Follow along on this episode of Chasing Dust, as Matt breaks down what these two trucks actually share under Ford's Raptor design language, where the Bronco Raptor still wins outright, and why the F-150 Raptor became the only logical pivot once life as a dad changed what he needed out of a truck.
