I probably have the dubious notoriety of being the first to have their Ranger broken into. We were at local restaurant (Pluckers Wing Bar @ The Linc in Austin) two weeks ago and a thief smashed the rear driver’s side window. They took several items mainly my Godson’s back pack that had his clothing, new UT baseball cap, and three baseballs that Texas players gave him. The alarm didn’t go off since only the window was broken and no doors were opened. Thought it was a pretty safe place but this area has had a rash of vehicle break-ins.
The biggest problem has been getting a replacement window. Since the vehicle is so new, glass is not carried by repair companies and needs to be ordered through a Ford dealer. They quoted 5-7 business days. The first window came in six days after the event but arrived damaged. The expedited the second window and they are now installing it. Almost two weeks after the event, I’m finally getting to drive my truck again. Hopefully no one else has to go through this but just a warning of the side effect of being a new Ford Ranger Owner.
