What are you currently driving while waiting to take delivery of the Bronco Raptor?

Here's my 2017 Ford Raptor.

Looks great! That photo could land on a cover of an off-road magazine! (y)

2014 Wrangler Polar Edition, expecting the Bronco Raptor to be a really Big upgrade!

My daily driver is a 21 Subaru Outback Onyx XT. I will keep this since its paid for and drive it back and forth to work to keep the miles off my Raptor. Occasionally I will drive my 2002 BMW 1150RT motorcycle currently out due to a fuel pump.
 
For camping / road-tripping / bike-hauling / etc, I'm splitting time between my gen 2 Raptor and the FE Bronco. I'm doing an extended test drive with the Bronco to see if it could be a replacement for the Raptor. The BRaptor will replace the FE, but not sure yet if anything can replace the Raptor long-term for me...it's just so good at so many things.

My 'daily' driving is usually split between these two. 'daily' as in I get out for a spirited mountain road drive just about every afternoon / evening (typically up HWY 9 aka Big Basin Rd up into the redwoods and back). I work from home so I don't commute...but I love to drive. I'm a Ford guy at heart...grew up in a Ford family, worked at Ford for years, love the brand. I bought the GT350R new in 2016 (it's a no-electronics car...and I'd never seen Avalanche grey but I think it suits the car well. I can't see ever parting with this car. I also like Porsches and dig for mid-engined cars (and convertibles). I had a first-gen (986) Boxster S for years...flat white...built the car into a very capable track car but yard-saled it on the exit of T4 at Laguna Seca about 10 years ago. This 981 GTS came available about 6 months ago from a guy I know, spec I wanted (manual, PTV, lightweight seats, etc) so I jumped on it.

You've got great taste in cars! I think the GT350 might be one of the best bang for the buck sports cars out there. I wouldn't mind having one myself.

That's a great looking GT350! By far my favorite color. I wish Ford would offer that color on the Bronco Raptor. Ford just released a new special edition "avalanche" Ford Ranger so there is hope.

thank you...and I agree that the 350 really strikes a great balance between performance and cost. My one-of-one R had a $61k MSRP. The wheels, alone, are worth ~$15k.
