Well... I'm finally back in a Bronco and couldn't be happier about the decision.

As so many others on this site experienced, I reserved my Bronco Outer Banks on Day 1... Then went through the same frustrating waiting game that so many people did. To my surprise, I was "Rewarded" with the opportunity to spend $25k more than I originally planned to on a Raptor, but jumped at the chance when I got it.

After being pushed from a '22 raptor to a '23 Raptor, I was pleasantly surprised to have it show up in '22 anyways and received one of the first 2023 models as a 2022 Christmas Present... Fast forward 8 months, and a young driver pulled out in front of me without looking and totaled my Bronco.

Unfortunately that happened when there was almost 0 inventory out there, and I begrudgingly purchased a Brand new 2023 F150 Raptor in its place. It was honestly a Beautiful Truck... But for the last 6 months, I've honestly just wanted to get back into a Bronco.

While a BRaptor was no longer in the budget, I spent about a month seriously looking around until I found both the Bronco I wanted, and at a dealer I wanted to do business with...

I havent decided on its gender or name yet, but I love it. Welcome to my world, Hot Pepper Red Wildtrack... I'm glad to have you.

Congrats! Similar experience here. I sold my 2 Door Big Bend in November for some profit and traded in for an Audi but last week when I saw a heritage sitting on my local dealer’s lot at MSRP, I had to switch again. Probably not the best financial move I made but it is what it is 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks. Enjoy the new ride.

I get it about the financial move...Luckily I got more from insurance than I paid, but the mileage I had on mine as a daily driver, along with the new price increases killed my chances of getting the Braptor model back.

The WT lowered my payment by hundreds.

Its definitely not a Raptor, but im happy with the end result.

So sorry to hear about your BRaptor but the WT is a nice consolation, I really like my WT.
