New Ranger Raptor owner!

[spellchek]

Hey all, finally took the plunge and made the switch from my '23 Bronco 4dr Wildtrak. Thanks to those of you that I messaged over the past few weeks to get advice and insight, especially former Bronco owners. The Bronco was a great vehicle, no real complaints, but I had always secretly wanted a RR as I got my Bronco about a year before the RR was available.

Really impressed so far, I thought the HOSS 3.0 in the Bronco was pretty good (on road) but still felt like it was pretty "crashy" over larger street imperfections and freeway junctions. The Fox live valve in the Ranger feels light years ahead. Honestly after spending the last few years in the rattle box, wind tunnel of the Bronco, the entire Ranger package just feels so buttoned down.

Very cool!
‘Great looking truck !
Congrats!

Same , I had a 23 Bronco same Hoss suspension, fun rig, but hated how crude it was and really hated the noise. Your spot on, the RR is so much better imo too.

Welcome to the club. Just wait until you get out in some open space and can use it as it was built to be used. The permanent grin is real...

My step-brother (yes, he has red hair) bought a '22 or '23 Bronco OB Sasquatch that we drove from the SF Bay area to Moab to attend the Off-Rodeo, and I agree, the noise was tiring.

So looks like pretty fast turn around if your dealer has allocation.

That's the key . I've watched some 26 RRs sit in production status for over 2 weeks tho

Mine was a '25 on the lot.

Best to be sure dealer confirms they have allocation, or it wont be built anytime soon.
