I was late to order when original banks opened and kept getting bumped into the next model year. I eventually found a dealer demo (21 Cyber Orange Badlands) and loved it. One day while returning home, someone blasted through a red light and t-boned me, totaling the Bronco. I ended up with a torn meniscus and herniated disk in my lower back but the Bronco saved me that day considering the hit going over 50mph.

The kicker, My original order (Cactus Gray Badlands ) came in the week before and I declined because I ended up really liking the Cyber Orange.

I went without a fun car for a while and mid-summer of 24 I picked a 21 Rubicon. I did like it but noticed corrosion popping up on one of the hinges. Following the groups online it was obvious owners were having issues getting warranty work and I didn't want to go down the hole of getting a small area fixed only for it to pop up elsewhere and be out of warranty.

I had my eye on a Raptor at a local dealer since summer but never could justify the $96k price. After several price drops I felt it was time to make a move.

I snagged a 24 Hot Pepper Red Raptor and so glad I did. What an amazing vehicle overall.

I will miss the rear vents of the Jeep since my kids will complain about airflow, and the foot vents pushed more air than bronco which I remember from my first one. But overall I am not looking back. I couldn't pass up the deal.

BADA$$! We have one like it on the showroom floor and I drool over it when I go by it. If I wasn't so attached to my Badlands I'd think hard about trading for it!

Hot Pepper, best color too! Congratz!!!

Gorgeous Bronco, love the hot pepper red. The Bronco's HVAC system is plenty powerful without having air blowing in your face. I have cars with and without rear vents and could care less. Just my opinion.

Congratulations! Sorry to hear about your original Bronco.
I will miss the rear vents of the Jeep...
They solved that problem for 2025.
