2 issues with new 2026 Bronco Raptor

[MGF]

Just took delivery of my 2026 Braptor. Smile ear to ear! Identified 2 issues that you should check or be aware about. First, my main dash display (behind steering wheel) has smudge marks behind the acrylic panel, actually look slike some kind a chemical attack. Enough to blur the display text and images in certain spots. New display module on order. Second, no air coming out of the rear AC/heat ducts - identified that tube through console from front dash was missing - part ordered. Just a couple things to check when you take delivery.

Sounds like it was the first off the line on a Monday morning!!!

Good luck, I love my 2024 Braptor.

Congratulations on the new bronco Raptor. Are you the same op that posted about smudges Inside clear screen over your display behind the steering wheel? If not you are the 2nd to state that recently. Wonder what that could be? I love my Braptor. Best variant of the Bronco by far.

That was a different op, also recent issue.

Congrats on the Braptor!

How are you liking that digital rearview mirror so far?

 

[MGF]

I am so happy they added that on the 2026! Great wide, unobstructed view. Takes a little bit to get used to as your eyes focus on it.

Congrats on the new ride & sorry to hear about your issues and associated buyer’s remorse. Hopefully, they are resolved quickly & amicably so you can get out there and enjoy it!

 

[MGF]

Definitely no buyers remorse! Sometimes shit just happens. It shouldn’t for shelling out $100K, but these are minor inconvenience and my dealership is taking care of it.

We're going into our third week of having our 2026 Braptor. Love the lights on the sideview mirrors as well as the rearview mirror camera. The ride is so much better than the 2025 Badlands SAS we traded in.

Is the 2026 Bronco Raptor the new “”G”” wagon? (Because of the $100,000) to those who aren’t familiar with the term……

I was sure that you were going to be bothered about the exaggerated Fender Flares (lol).

I had the same issue with a weird smudge/defect on my 2025 dash display plastic from the factory!

I noticed that the rear vents don't put out heat, but do work on AC mode. Did you try switching modes to see? Where can you see if there's a tube there?

Congrats on the new ride.
I see they still don't have that Bluetooth HVAC system worked out just yet
Hope they get it sorted quickly for you.

Upon dealer inspection the tube between the front Ac/heat feed at the dash and rear vents is missing and they ordered the part. They clearly saw the stains on the backside of the main display acrylic and were able to just order a replacement screen and not the entire display unit.
