Thanks for the welcome @Shaggy
Bought a new '24 Bronco Raptor in West Virginia advertised at $20K under MSRP which is a lot lower than the '22-23 CPO options I found within 500 miles of home here in PHX. First new vehicle in 20 years (others have been CPOs). I did extend the warranty on the Braptor for 96 months and 125,000 miles so I plan to keep it a while. Bought it site unseen after (3) connecting flights to get to the dealership. Now I get to drive it home approximately 2,000 miles to home.
I own (2) Jeeps, a 2005 LJ Wrangler Unlimited and a 2017 JKU Wrangler Unlimited. First Bronco and first Ford for our household. In the 200 miles I have driven it on the east coast I am impressed with the comfort, performance, and technology over my newest Jeep (and even the newer JLUs I have rented while traveling).
In AZ I have enjoyed owning a white Jeep with white hardtop which is much cooler to touch on the inside when parked in a 115 degree F parking lot all day. Therefore, a must for me was white with white hardtop. I conducted a nationwide search and this was one of about (10) "white on white", but one of only (3) "fully loaded" with the options I desired. It has the leather/suede-trimmed interior, Code Orange package (graphics, forged deadlocks, orange seat belts), and interior carbon fiber pack.
I still find myself waving to Wranglers and of course now all of a sudden I start to notice a lot more Broncos on the road (was I simply "blind" to them before owning one?). So far after waving to a dozen other Broncos I have had one return the wave. It must be a Jeep thing LOL.
I ordered everything I need for flat-towing it from my motor coach like I have my Jeep along with RSE slider steps for my 5'-2" wife and daughter and of course Bartact grips in mango orange to complement the code orange accents. I called Bartact yesterday to ask if "neon orange" or "mango" would best match knowing colors viewed on the web aren't always true and they directed me to the "mango" which are on sale right now.
Look forward to learning and interacting with other Braptor owners on the forum.
