I'm an official owner of the 2026 Ranger Raptor.

I posted on here before debating lariat and Raptor. Thursday I told the dealer I'm coming to look at the lariat on Friday. It was the 26 avalanche lariat. The sales guy actually lives in my neighborhood. They had a Raptor listed a few days before but it disappeared. So I decided to go with the Lariat. Thursday night he messaged me and said the Raptor is still on the lot. I didn't jump on it right away because my wife isn't gonna go for that price if I tell her.

So we got to dealer and test drove the lariat. I liked it pretty well. Then another sales person parked the Raptor close. I told my wife that's way better equipped. After we got the numbers for the Lariat she asked if we could get numbers for the Raptor. It was quoted for 51.5k because of my trade in. So we test drove and now I'm an owner.

I ended up getting extended warranty which came to about 54k. Then I bought maintenance plan separately. I also showed the granger warranty and they agreed to discount all of it..

The dealer was pretty good about the listed price and no markup and no forced add-ons. They also didn't push there finance on us. I got pre-approval for 4.34 from my bank. They could only do 4.99.

Only thing I didn't like was how they did the finance process. They took us to an office and the finance guy was on a zoom call. At the end he told us he is going to email all the signed stuff but I haven't got it yet. So now I have to reach out and make sure they send. They gave me the proof of registration though to carry. I did buy my 21 ranger from them before so I know they are reliable.

My Raptor also came with spread in bed liner. Also the Raptor was a special order for someone else but they have to be quick on grabbing it because its first come first serve. The poor guy was on the way after I had bought it but he was ok with it because he wasn't sure if he was serious about buying. It's been on the lot for a few days. Number 1 reason to put a deposit on it.

Anyway. Here is a picture.

Love it!! Similar situation to when I got mine. Went to the dealer looking at a 2024 Tundra w/ the off road package. Test drove the tundra, then someone parked the Raptor near us and it was out of range but my wife pushed for me to just ask if they can match the numbers and they did.

Enjoy it, it’s a lot of fun!

Congrats @jdmarler,
I also am also a new owner who took possession last Thursday... we also have similar Raptors:

I have a 2024 Bronco Badlands, and the two are completely different in almost every way. I love them both.
The "Sport" mode will definitely light the rear tires up with moderate acceleration compared to the Bronco with the 2.7. I don't want to waste rubber, so I have had to learn to roll onto the throttle as compared to the Bronco.
I feel this Raptor is going to be an exceptional vehicle for long road trips.
I plan on leveling the front ~2" then using it as a daily driver. I will take it to Windrock Off-Road Park a few times, but that will be the Broncos new playground from now on.

Congrats and enjoy... I know I will!

I had a 21 ranger and I can tell instantly the quality of ride is better on raptor. There's really bad bumps by my work and I don't feel it anymore. On my 21 it was really bouncy
