It’s fair to say this 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor didn’t go down the path the engineers intended, as it hasn’t accumulated anything beyond delivery mileage during its first three years.
Vanguard Motor Sales currently has the remarkably preserved SUV listed for sale, and the dealer says it has spent its entire life stored indoors under a cover—some of the factory protective plastic is even still in place.
Its odometer shows just 13.2 miles, making this about as close as you’ll get to walking into a Ford dealership and buying a brand-new 2023 Bronco Raptor. Vanguard’s presenter even declined to drive it during the dealer’s video to avoid adding unnecessary mileage.
That time-capsule condition comes with a substantial price, however. With newer Bronco Raptors readily available, the question is whether somebody will value those untouched three years enough to pay a serious premium.
Vanguard Wants $109,900 For It
Vanguard Motor Sales has priced the 2023 Bronco Raptor at $109,900. For comparison, the 2026 Bronco Raptor’s base MSRP starts at $79,995, making this three-year-old example nearly $30,000 more expensive than a brand-new base model.
The comparison becomes closer once options are added to a 2026 truck, as a heavily optioned new example would come in around $90,000-$95,000. Even against that figure, however, Vanguard’s asking price represents a substantial premium.
It should be noted that this is an asking price rather than a completed sale, so whether the market actually agrees with that valuation is yet to be seen.
It Still Has Just 13 Miles
Vanguard says the Bronco was stored in a heated, climate-controlled garage after being purchased and essentially hasn’t been driven. The dealer describes the 13 miles as delivery mileage accumulated while moving between the factory, transporters, dealership, and storage.
The Shadow Black bodywork is paired with optional 17-inch beadlock-capable forged wheels and massive 37-inch tires. Vanguard also says the original window sticker is present and describes the truck as having essentially every available option.
The Lux Package adds equipment including a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, and a Bang & Olufsen audio system. Much of the interior remains covered in protective material, reinforcing the unusual showroom-preserved character.
There’s Still A 418-HP Bronco Raptor Underneath
Mechanically, there’s nothing mysterious about this particular example. Ford’s 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 produces 418 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.
It also brings the serious off-road hardware that made it desirable in the first place, including huge suspension travel, 37-inch tires, and 13.1 inches of ground clearance. Ironically, none of that capability has been exercised at all.
That means the next owner gets to decide whether to preserve one of the lowest-mileage early Bronco Raptors around or finally do what Ford built it for and put those pristine 37-inch tires to work.
