7/24/23 Build Week

How's everyone doing in here? I've been so busy and neglecting our group. I just hit 33,500 miles this week. I also placed an order yesterday for a '26 Braptor that should be in before the end of the year. I ordered a Ranger Raptor back in June that still has not been issued a VIN, so I ordered the Bronco as well and will take whichever decides to come in (my heart says take the Bronco, my brain says Ranger).


Not great. The roof stopped leaking awhile back after the 2nd or 3rd fix, but I am having spider cracking in multiple areas. Dealer submitted a claim for it that Ford denied awhile back, but they did it without having the car physically in service.

I dropped it off yesterday and took a loaner for them to do a full service claim on it and see if they get anywhere. I spoke to the service manager and the dealer owner and they said they've been awful at approving roof claims now, so we'll see where we get with this.

Urgh, I hate hearing you are having issues getting it replaced. I really wish it wasn't that hard, it shouldn't be that hard!!

I can't wait to see which way you go on the Raptor. There's a Ranger Raptor that runs around here and it always turns my head. Of course, you know I'm cheering for the Braptor....unless you are keeping your Bronco too? In that case, go for the Ranger!! A mixed stable for all the adventures is the way to go!

This will be replacing my current Bronco, unfortunately. My friend is interested in buying mine, so it might stay in the family if we can work it all out (and they fix these issues so I'm not seeling him a lemon).

I'm only taking one of them! Dealer had 2 allocations left for each so they didn't mind me ordering both and taking one.

Bronco and Ranger got scheduled for the same exact build date

What are the chances they come in together? We definitely need a pic of that! At least this way you can test drive them both and make side by side comparison.

The Raptor VIN generated the same day the Bronco order was entered so something tells me its some logistical thing with the Raptors and the allocation process where they get shipped at the same time.

You know you are going to want to bring both home, right?

Oh I am totally expecting to have to flip a coin. I love how quick the Ranger is, but I also love how ridiculous the Bronco looks. I'm thinking Bronco right now but we'll see.

Man, thats tough.

I'm currently trying to shake the bug of buying an F150 Tremor

Left the firehouse tonight opened my door to hear a weird alert noise and see my dash say “parking break fault service now!” 🫤 I’m trying to remember seems like this could be battery related? I’ve also been experiencing a lot of feedback on my pager while it’s running, stops for a second when I use the wipers, roll up/down the window, etc by the time I hopped in and started it the warning was gone

We were headed to a Bronco get together Sunday and heard a rock ping. Yup, I joined the windshield casualty club The event was fun though!
