    What Color is your Favorite 2024 (POLL)

    Loved my ‘17 AG so when they came out with AG again for 2023 I immediately traded to Gen 3. It’s hard to photograph the color but it looks great in person and especially fits my tendency of not washing the truck very often :)

    Who Owns a Raptor and a Bronco...let's see them...

    I love them both. If I could have only one I would pick the Raptor for comfort and towing capacity but they are both spectacular vehicles. The Bronco is better at rock crawling and is surprisingly capable at high speed. The Raptor is amazing at pretty much everything.

    Towing a large boat with the gen 3

    I routinely tow a 21’ boat with the Raptor. With my Gen2 it squatted enough that I would sometimes get flashed for headlights at night. My Gen3 seems a little better plus the headlights are improved. The Raptor had no issues with power or stability towing, including one time when the rear axle...

    Console Vault Thoughts?

    Love my console vault. I have one in my Gen2 2017 and one in my Bronco. I have a 2023 ordered and had assumed I’d be able to swap my vault to the new ride. Is that not an option?

    Coincidentally, I was notified that they shipped my new Bronco :)

    My dream raptor has landed

    Congratulations! I love my AG but mine is up to 100k miles :) Pretty soon it’ll have a cactus grey little brother bronco next to it.

    Wildtrak Bronco vs Raptor experience and pics

    I ordered mine in January (Badlands 4dr Squatch lux) and then a month ago I switched the order to soft top with hard top prep kit. Just a week later I got a build date scheduled for October 11! Super glad I switched the order.

    GEN 2 Any of you thought about trading the Raptor for the Bronco

    I finally switched my order to a soft top with hard top prep kit. A week later I got notified of a build date of October 11, so it looks like it’ll finally happen! 2.7 Badlands Squatch lux 4dr in Cactus Gray. But I’m definitely keeping the Raptor.

    GEN 2 Any of you thought about trading the Raptor for the Bronco

    I voted Bronco just to give some balance to the poll but I have no intention of getting rid of my ‘17 AG when my Badlands Squatch 4dr cactus grey finally gets built. But my Raptor is up to 99k miles so I want to switch to the Bronco as my daily driver to save the mileage on the Raptor a little...

    Issues if not fixing cam phasers?

    My 2017 just started doing it at about 65k, a noticeably loud clatter for 1-2 seconds on starts after sitting a day or two. No performance issues noted. I happen to be not needing the truck for a couple of weeks so I have the dealer working on it right now.

    Things You DIscovered About Your Raptor

    If you hit the tow/haul switch on the shifter the truck will automatically hold your speed down (downshift) while descending a hill at highway speed without needing to lock out gears. I did find a good use for gear lockouts while towing a heavy boat on a really hot day with a headwind. The...

    Opinions on best level of tech?

    When I first ordered my 2017 802A I ordered it without the tech package. After renting an explorer that had tech I called the dealer and changed my order. The adaptive cruise is great on long highway trips, the automatic wipers are awesome and the auto dimming headlights work great for...

    GEN 2 mirror glass clicking

    I’ve had this happen a couple of times and it was cured by hitting the mirror fold button and then hitting it again to fold out the mirrors. I think my mirror may have been bumped in a parking lot once and the other time hit a mesquite while desert running.

    2017 with Sync 3 Issue

    Last winter mine developed the same symptoms- dropped calls, dropped Bluetooth music connection, and no GPS. I was living 1500 miles from home so I waited until my wife flew down to ride home with me last May. I intended to drop it at the dealer when I got home before flying south again. Lo and...
