New Bronco Owners in Texas

[EarlWright]

Nice. What dealership? We bought our 24 last year from Cavenders. She wanted a soft top and there weren't many options closer to Baytown. And Canvenders had around 6 soft tops available.

@Ape Factory I was leaning towards the Raptor because just look at it . First thing we did was order cargo area covers and found Canvasbacks. We’ll have the entire cargo area covered including the back side of the seats, and we’ll tether the dogs to the car seat connections.

What system or harness do you have to connect to the hand rails? Looking for other options in case tethering to the back seats doesn’t work well.

@Valhalla already planning a road trip to Yellowstone!

@Jakob1972 we’ve been eyeing desert sand since last year, I rarely see it on the roads. I absolutely love this color.

Carabiner clips to the overhead handles, then to braided steel lines that have plastic sheaths, connected to their harnesses. But I do use the back seat connections mostly. It's just long enough so my larger dog can "surf" with his front paws on the center console (I have a cover for that) which is his thing.

Nice group over at Cavenders in Columbus. We drove out there and tried to get a deal done last year, but wasn’t able to make it happen.

The new 60th Anniversary deal that was offered was solid and that came from Mac Haik Ford. Salesman, Nathan Wood, is a straight shooter, easy to work with going back and forth with the Sales Manager. As a comparison, AutoNation Katy would not budge from MSRP on theirs and asked me to politely kick rocks.

The new ‘25 Raptor deal came from AutoNation Ford Gulf freeway. I typically don’t deal with AutoNation dealerships, the salesman can get very arrogant and prices don’t move too much during negotiations. Not this location though, and I was pleasantly surprised. Their salesman, Paul Cooper, came through from a 30 second phone call while I asked him to get me the deal on their Raptor now or I buy from Mac Haik today. 2 minutes later I get a call back from Paul saying come pick it up, it’s yours. We were in and out in a couple of hours from arrival. Recall fix completed by the time we got there.

Thanks @Bovas, they’re really good dogs. We trained them well and now they get to have some fun open air rides soon.

- Best of luck with the new ride.

Congrats on the new Bronco, fellow Texan! I picked up my lightly used '24 a couple months ago, trading in my '17 GT350. I have previously been to the Bronco Off-Roadeo in Horseshoe Bay, and am booked to do the Raptor version in June!

Oh, and since we are posting dog photos:

@DarkL1ghtn1ng thank you! Congrats on your recent purchase as well, we’re definitely already enjoying it. I still have my ‘17 GT350, it’s a keeper .

We just registered on the Bronco Roadeo site and waiting for approval once they verify the Raptor purchase. I’ll see what dates look good and book it.

Beautiful dog btw! Distant relative to mine haha.

I ordered my 2025 Badlands from AutoNation Ford Gulf Freeway, was an easy process, I had a different salesman but overall, from ordering to delivery it went pretty smooth

Enjoy your new ride!

Your wife looks quite pleased, and that's not a bad thing.

I had a 1980 Cougar back in the day in a similar shade they called Pastel Sand. Yes, I'm old.

 

[Texas_Raptor]

Boom! Pastel Sand. It’s actually not too far off .

I knew I had to get the correct vehicle on the first try or else we’d be doing this all over again soon when she gets bored.

Added the Skanda molle tailgate storage system from Ford’s website. It’ll be used to hold all of the dogs toys, tethers, leashes, water bowls, bags, etc. Seems well made and sturdy enough for what we plan to use it for. Ties in well with the Canvasback rear cabin protection.
