  1. 8/23/2025 Prentice Cooper Wildlife Managment area.

    Is the overlook off the main road? I have explored a little bit up there. Have done Haley’s Road twice, nice little trail. I started Haley’s Rd downhill. Can’t remember what trail it is off of seemed like a service road. Another way to ask it, would I get to the overlook if I had stayed...
  2. 2024 Raptors are 20,000 off MSRP. Is it worth it?

    As a Raptor owner, limited off road experience, having gone to Moab and done the Raptor experience…holy cow man!!! The Raptor is worth its weight in gold! Dollar for dollar worth it. I daily drive mine. Is super smooth and nothing in Georgia is a challenge for the beast. I found the extra...
  3. Shouldn't be 100K

    Go do the Bronco Rodeo Raptor. Maybe I am gullible but WOW!!! The Raptor is awesome! Maybe I just don’t have enough off road experience but it is amazing! $100k…everything is relative. But to own a Raptor that can do all I experienced last month (and more)…ain’t no other Bronco keeping up with...
  4. Bronco Raptor Off-Rodeo Report (November 2024)

    My wife and I went 2 weeks ago. It was insane to see what these Raptors are capable of…the abuse they can take. If the end of the world is coming grab a seat in a Bronco Raptor. I want to say from the experience of the Raptor #6 in line…it may have been scenic but all we saw was dust all day...
  5. Is it possible to own a Bronco without a broken windshield?

    Yes. I put ClearPlex on my windshield. Daily driver. 18,000 miles. 4 rocks that I could see hit the windshield (one scared me) but not cracks.
  6. Cargo area rattle

    Had a problem with my tailgate rattling. Finally had a dealer confirm it on a test drive, they replaced the entire tailgate. I hope you get it resolved. I found my rattle annoying much like your original post described.
  7. 2023 Ford Bronco DR on BaT Auctions Ending July 31. Current Bid: $100,000

    Just wait until the last 10 minutes of the auction…that’s when the price will start jumping! *It will be interesting to see if it meets the reserve though. Unless the owner got it for a steal, I doubt they flip it for a huge profit. I believe one of these didn’t sell previously on BaT because...
  8. Raptor Info - Temps/Pressure/Ratio

    Based on what you described, I would say those numbers look good. I have limited knowledge; not a mechanic.
  9. Why do we hate Auto Start/Stop so much?

    It may have been said else where but it is recommended on turbo boosted engines to idle before shutting off to ensure all components stay lubricated. Use the ASS feature or disable it, but if oil is recommended for your engine components how is it circulating when the engine is off? I have...
  10. Looks like dealerships are starting to give away Bronco Raptors ????

    Enjoy your rig! And ultimately, I am happy Ford brought back the Bronco and the customization it provides. I appreciate other people’s ideas and preferences. I like uniqueness. The attention of prices starting to reduce on cars (in general) is that the economy is heading in the wrong direction...
  11. Looks like dealerships are starting to give away Bronco Raptors ????

    Thanks. I agree. Sounds like you have an awesome rig. It just seems to be a common perception that Bronco Raptor’s worth are overpriced. When I did my build before buying my Raptor, like most folks here who had waited for 2 years for their reservation that never got built…it was cheaper to...
  12. Looks like dealerships are starting to give away Bronco Raptors ????

    Nice job! And thank you for your service. Glad you’re happy your ride. I appreciate custom/personalized rides too. I think that is part of the fun of the Bronco and keeps them unique. *fortunate in Georgia, our annual tag fees are a flat rate regardless of value of the car. Keep enjoying the...
  13. Looks like dealerships are starting to give away Bronco Raptors ????

    Nice! Still don’t see a price for how much actually saved. I quoted a BDS suspension, Nitto Rodge Grappler’s 37s, can’t remember the wheels, ADV fenders, and new paint, for me…those items alone were getting close to $15,000+. Didn’t include 400+hp, digital screen, calibration, list goes on and...
