Our members are reporting that if your dealer is trying to place your Bronco Raptor order today, and you optioned for the Black Onyx interior trim with the optional Code Orange seatbelts, the dealer ordering system is not allowing them to add the Code Orange seatbelts to the order. We're not sure yet if this is a glitch with Ford's ordering system or if the Code Orange seatbelts are just not available to order yet. Stay tuned for more information as we receive it throughout the day.

An anti-lag system for turbocharged vehicles helps to reduce the amount of time it takes for the turbos to deliver boost.
