FINALLY... BACK IN THE COOL KIDS CLUB!!!!

[jag2440]

For a trip back in history, on July 13th 2020, I happily put in my reservation for one of the first all new 6th Gen Broncos. I knew I'd be waiting, but I never knew how long

When I finally customized my order, it was an antimatter blue Outer Banks, with Sas, lux, and tow packages... You know, virtually everything that we heard about later that would delay my order.

Almost 2 years after my reservation, I got the magical notification that since I was still waiting for my Bronco, I was granted a golden ticket to upgrade to a BRAPTOR... Which I did.... and promptly got notification that my order had be bumped to a 2023 model.

FINALLY,,,, 2 year and 7+ months after my reservation, I finally received my 2023 Code Orange Bronco Raptor.... LIFE WAS GOOD....For 9 whole months, until an uninsured teenaged girl pulled out in front of me and totaled my Bronco.

Fast Forward 3 years, I've been in an F150 Raptor, A Wildtrak, and a new 4Runner.... Until today... And Finally... I am BACK IN THE RAPTOR CLUB...

Meet LOKI, my Shelter Green 2026 Raptor.

It's good to be back.

that's a beauty

Quit body shaming my Raptor. LOL

Sounds like you need a Stroup Edition

I'm all for driving what you want - no insult intended and no body shaming on my part.

Just an observation after having owned my little '72 for the last 24 years, and thinking of the 'Bronco' name as a svelte little pony that can turn on a dime and go just about anywhere in the woods I want to go, and not a super land yacht thats so wide it needs the three 'Imma fattie' lights across the front & back, or the four doors.

If what the Bronco Raptor is 'does it' for you, I'm happy for ya.

Similar story but totally different.

July 13, 2020. Antimatter Blue OB Sasquatch. But mine got delivered and I got a Raptor golden ticket, too, but I loved the first Bronco so much that it’s still here and I’ve not burned a hundred grand in car flipping the past 5 years.

interesting story about the car flipping. I actually got more for my Bronco Raptor than I paid for it because it happened at the time when Bronco raptors were being marked up 20 K from sticker.

When I got my F150, I held onto that and got it at a deal from A local rep that I buy my business vehicles from.

When I traded it in, I got exactly the same price I paid.

I did lose a little bit of money on the wild track and 4Runner but overall, I lost less than I made on the original Bronco Raptor total, so I still feel pretty good.

I knew you were just playing. That’s why I made sure to add the .

A raptor is definitely not for everybody, but it definitely suits me well
