Bronco Raptor on the cover of the April edition Car and Driver

I just ordered a couple of the magazines. One to read and one to store. Not sure what the content is yet but I am sure it will be worth getting a copy.

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to have to pick up a copy of this issue as well.

I ordered my copies on E-Bay. I can’t even remember the last time I bought a magazine in a store.

I've read the article online. They are estimating 430 HP and 420 lb-ft of torque.

Where did you find it on line?!

I have an Apple News+ subscription, which comes with dozens of magazine titles.

$10/month is totally worth it to me, to get over 200 magazines on demand on any Apple device I own. You can also sign up for a 30-day free trial, and set yourself a cancel alert at 29 days. ;-)

Why thank you for the recommendation. Was unfamiliar with that service. I appreciate it.

I picked up a couple issues last night at Barnes & Noble. It's just a couple pages, no test drive report yet. Cool to have anyways and looking forward to future articles.

 

[RoBear]

Picked one up yesterday at Walgreens.

I love the artwork on the cover. That would make a cool poster!

In truth, the content is a bit on the light side. Not really anymore than what we have read elsewhere. Best part would be the cover (as others have mentioned). Hopefully a crisp new copy is suitable for framing.

I'm hoping that this measurement is a number that actually came from Ford, and not just Car and Driver. Previously all I can find is "Targeting over 400" which made me feel like 405-415 was the max we could expect.

I know 430 isn't a huge gain above that but considering its at almost 400 on an Explorer, I'd and the Braptor is WAY heavier, I would like to think that they would focus on allowing it to out perform an explorer sport.

Just a C&D educated guess, I'm pretty sure. Ford won't release any official power numbers until their EPA certification is done.

The Bronco Raptor will never outperform an Explorer ST in a drag race or road race, but hopefully that's not why you are buying it. Reportedly the Raptor has specific turbo's, induction, exhaust and heads to make a much wider power band for everything from rock crawling to desert racing, no mention of road racing though, lol.

Definitely not... just seems a bit weak IMO. With that said, I cant imagine using for a street race of any sort

LOL there are some good ones on there! The Prowler is definitely one of the most deceivingly slow cars that looks like it would be fast.
