Had my main man Mr McGibblets hook me up with a Raptor Bronco connect.

I'd been daily driving my gmc 2500hd and wanted something a little smaller. Saw one of these things while vacationing in Watercolor Florida and put an order in for it.

It's super fun, definitely not a family vehicle, but fits the driver like a glove and could haul another adult and maybe 2 kids in a pinch. Super smooth drive and can't wait to take the roof off in good weather.

Sweet truck!

The backseat isn't big enough for older kids or adults?

It is, but I wouldn't say comfortably, but it could be ymmv. I'm 6'6" and my 3 year old barely fit behind me, but my 13 year old fit behind my wife easily. It's possible two adults could fit behind two people of average height.

I saw this video earlier which illustrates the 2nd row legroom in the bronco raptor.

The guy in the video is 6'3" and he's sitting behind where he has his seat normally set, and as you can see it'd be really tight for an adult for any length of time.

Been thinking about snagging one of these when my son turns 16 in a few years. Coming from a Jeep SRT, how's the get-up-and-go with 37s? I'm wanting something that can massacre Houston's decrepit roads but have enough HP that you don't worry about getting up to highway speeds+ quickly. Also would be nice to have some fun on the ranch off-roading and crawling.

The get up and go is not insane. The 3.0 v6 twin turbo only puts out 400 hp or so. Don't get me wrong it accelerates great, but it doesn't have the "rocket ship" takeoff of the TRX or Raptor R.

The ride is absolutely super smooth though, and with such a narrow wheel base, it handles better than anything I've ever driven. I did a U-turn in my driveway last night.

Those are awesome, but I felt like I was in a sardine can. At least in the bronco, the driver and front row passenger are super comfortable even if the people in the back aren't.

If you want get up and go, buy a sports car.

These are cool trucks, but don't expect it to do sports car things.
