I assume you disagree, since you're sure making a big deal out of three emails that got no reply. After two, you didn't figure out maybe another mode of communicating might make more sense?

To wit, I bought an extended warranty from Granger. Sent an email, got no reply. Just checked, sent another one, didn't get a reply to my question. So I went, hey, they're on the forum. Sent a direct message to one of those accounts, they replied with who to contact and how, and I got a response from them 15 minutes later (over email). Could've just as easily called their main phone line, I'm sure, explained my problem and gotten it sorted.

My own dealer "ghosted" me for six weeks during COVID when I left three voicemails for my salesman, who never returned my phone calls. I finally called, a little hot (I was actually pretty mad, it involved almost losing my order), and explained what was going on and the lady told me he was out for another month and half an hour later I got a phone call from their GM, who sorted me out that day, over email. When the salesman did get back to me, he also shared photos of his wife who had given birth to his eighth child and then had a medical issue, which is why he was out. Shit happens.

This is what rational people do. You can decide not to do business with someone who hasn't replied to an email (or three in a row), but it doesn't somehow make it right that they've wronged you when you had other ways to resolve your frustration than a series of bad reviews online.

And spam tools are as likely to gray list emails from unknown accounts more better than whatever tools you're referring to (something I deal with at my job all the time, "undelivered" email). You're not using gaslighting correctly, either.

So relax. You've lost neither fingers nor firstborn. Just a chance to work with Granger when they actually reply, when the IT systems and fallible humans don't get in the way.

Well said.

That's when you mistakenly put gas in your EV and the check engine light comes on right?

Gaslighting involves farts, cigarette lighters and immaturity. And possibly singed butt hair and regret, so yeah, basically the same.

EDIT: @BUCKYBRONCO2021 Dude! lol :whistle:

I'm not clear on why you're so personally offended that Granger ghosted me. It doesn't hurt you. It doesn't effect you in any way. Stop attacking me for getting ghosted by Granger. Relax. You've lost neither fingers nor firstborn.

Today is the day for our last Stroppe Edition! This poor customer was patient and anxiously waiting for movement to happen as it sat in the shipyard for a little bit. About time!

Shout out to the team at Granger Ford! About a week ago, during the week of January 12th, we had to submit a last-minute change order. All necessary paperwork was completed and sent to Ford immediately. Thanks to the efficiency of the team, our build sheet was updated in no time. A huge thank you to Samantha, Shelby, and Zach at Granger Ford for their exceptional assistance. Bronco was moved into the “In Production” phase on 15 January 2025. :like:

2026 Ford Bronco Badlands
  • Ford Co-Pilot360®
  • Trailer Tow Package
  • Ford Connectivity Package (One-time purchase – 7 years)
  • Badlands® - Lux Package (334A)
  • Hard Top, Shadow Painted-Black
  • Front Stabilizer Disconnect
  • Hard Top Sound Deadening Headliner
  • Front Bumper – Ford Performance Heavy-Duty Modular
  • Headlamps – LED with LED Signature Lighting
  • Wheel Lock Kit
  • Heated Steering Wheel
  • Full Vehicle Steel Bash Plates
  • Remote Start System – Key Fob Activated
  • Rock Rails
  • Auxiliary Switches
  • Ambient Footwell Lighting
  • Dual Smart Charging USB Ports
  • 360-Degree Camera
  • Rear-Window Defroster and Washer
  • Windshield Sunscreen
  • Power Outlet – Back Side of Center Floor Console
  • Dual-Zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control
  • Front Row Heated Seats
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
After doing our homework and visiting five Ford dealerships within 50 miles, nobody could touch Granger’s offer of 4% below invoice. Every local dealer was stuck at full MSRP, and a few were even tacking on $5,000 markups. It’s hard to imagine who is actually paying those inflated prices these days.

Question on the “Blend Date.” I assume the actual date can change based on how production is moving along. IF it changes, will the Window Sticker be adjusted too, or is once the Window Sticker populated, that info will not change?

Production for the 2026 Ford F-150 Raptor (including the Raptor R) is scheduled to begin in January 2026.

While Ford has not officially publicized a specific calendar day to the general public, the following timeline reflects the current production and ordering status:

Production Timeline
  • Order Banks Opened: September 25, 2025.
  • Production Start: Manufacturing for the 2026 model year F-150 lineup, including the Raptor, began in January 2026.
  • Dealership Arrival: You can expect the first 2026 Raptors to arrive at dealerships in late Q1 or early Q2 of 2026(roughly March or April), depending on shipping logistics and any potential quality holds.
  • Special Orders: TBD
  • Aluminum Shortage Note: Late in 2025, a fire at a major aluminum supplier (Novelis) caused some disruptions in Ford's truck production. While production has resumed for the 2026 model year, this event may lead to tighter inventory levels during the initial rollout months.
Thank you for that information. Is the Bronco Raptor bunched in with the F150 Raptor in that information above. Thanks again………

Looks like we will be flying out to Granger soon. :clap:

It took approximately 48 hours to move from "Our Blend Date" to "Built"
