Thinking about a 2025 2.7 Lariat in Azure Gray Metallic Tri-Coat. Question: is Azure Gray a premium color, meaning you're paying for the exclusivity of the color itself, or is it a higher quality, thicker, multiple-layer paint job as well? Thanks for any replies.

Stopped by the local Ford dealer today. The sales guy tried to tell me that people are still paying $5k-$10k over MSRP for Ranger Raptors. I find this somewhat hard to believe. Is this true? I know another local dealer network has 4 of them on their lot(s).

Exactly.

What, specifically, did you not like about the 2.7? Thanks.

To be fair, I understand people not wanting to drop $60k on a mid-size truck knowing that they might have to tear the engine down only a few short years (if that) into its life.

Is the replacement part of a revised, corrected design, or is it the same part that's been breaking?

Is there a chance that the cam phaser issue has been addressed on the 2.7 and 3.0 model year 2025 trucks but we don't know it yet?

The 2.3 does not have cams?

Why did Ford fix the cam phaser issue in the 2.3 but not the 2.7?

That brings up a good point: are these trucks available with a larger fuel tank option? 25 gallons would be nice.

Yeah, I didn’t think that the 2.7 and the 3.0 were all that far apart age wise. I wonder why port fuel injection has not made its way into the 3.0 design yet.

Am I correct in thinking that the 2.7 has port injection while the 3.0 does not?

Hey man, as you can see, I'm warming up little by little to Ford!

Is this a factory order or an "order" from the distribution network? Thanks.

It's funny you mention the F-series. The fact that Ford owns both the consumer and the commercial full-size market tells me that the reliability of their trucks simply can't be bad. Is it as good as Toyota? Likely not. But there's no way it's unworkably bad.

Why did Ranger leave the US for several years? Did Ford ever comment about that? Thanks.

I was going to ask: does Ford typically fix known problems relatively quickly and effectively?

Strangely (at least to me) a local dealer network currently has (4) Raptors in stock. I thought they were still very hard to get with long lead times and mark-ups.

These are some very helpful replies. Thanks! This is a great forum. I hope to be here long term ;) OK, a few things: I've been reading about some EcoBoost issues. Namely: a submerged-belt-driven oil pump coolant intrusion valve seat problems cam phaser issues Are all of these real, and...

What, other than the transmission issue which I believe has been addressed, if wrong with the Gen 4 Taco? Thanks.
