We’ll start by asking a question – how much would you pay for a 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor that’s barely been used?
The US car market is apparently so crazy that’s somebody is trying to sell one on Bring a Trailer without a reserve.
At the time of writing, the current bid stands at $78,500 – ie, already over sticker.

Now bear in mind the Ford Bronco Raptor starts at $70,095 in the U.S. and tops out at $82,550.
If you were to buy one, though, you’d have to place your order with a dealer, and you’d wait months for delivery.
And that’s not including the inevitable markup.
Some buyers aren’t willing to wait that long and are willing to pay a premium, as evidenced by the one listed on the auction site.
CHECK THIS OUT!
The Ford Bronco Raptor in question was delivered new to its owner in November and has only covered 385 miles (619 km) since.
We’re not quite sure why the seller has put it up for sale so soon, as the advert doesn’t state the reason.
However, the listing says it comes with a window sticker, a Raptor-branded toolkit, manufacturer’s literature, two keys, roof panel storage bag, clean Carfax report, and a Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin.
The Ford Bronco Raptor is finished in Shadow Black over Onyx leather and suede upholstery.
It’s powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and front and rear locking differentials.
It also comes with a host of additional equipment, including a removable gray hardtop, Lux Package, 17” beadlock-capable wheels, and HOSS 4.0 suspension with Fox live-valve dampers.
That’s in addition to heated and power-adjustable front seats, heated steering wheel, and Interior Carbon Fiber Pack.
Then there’s LED exterior lighting, Rigid fog lamps, digital instrument cluster, adaptive cruise control, and a 12” infotainment screen with navigation.
So, yeah, it’s pretty well specced.
Update: The Ford Bronco Raptor went for more than we could’ve predicted selling for $101,000.
