  1. How much weight on an open tailgate?

    Google AI says (and I've noticed the Google AI to be mostly right)... The maximum permissible load for the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor's tailgate is 485 pounds. This is a static load rating, meaning it's the weight the tailgate can support when stationary. If you're loading or unloading, or if the...
  2. Bed/box steps

    I think... XLT is no issue, just the RR (was all they were talking about). But this is still odd, since the Australian RR comes with the bed steps as an option I believe.
  3. Bed/box steps

    I hope they work (please post one way or the other), I've seen some chatter about them not working on the RR due to the exhaust routing. Could not find a definitive answer though.
  4. Ford swingout toolbox - opinions from owners

    I had to carefully use heat from a torch (making sure not to disrupt the spray-in bed liner), on several of the bolts. That red Loctite is just a devil sometimes, especially on non-hardened bolts(i.e. head bolts, manifold bolts, etc.), with high torque strength.
  5. Ford swingout toolbox - opinions from owners

    I had the same issue with heavy objects in one of mine (hard to unlatch), I did some adjusting and now heavy or not, both open easy.
  6. Ford swingout toolbox - opinions from owners

    Exactly... and make sure to "cut/pick" all of the sprayed in bed-liner (if you have one) out of the Torx bolts before attempting removal and don't use an impact driver to remove them, they're in there gawd awful tight and just eats up the head, even on a tough Torx bolt. LOL... take my word on...
  7. Ford swingout toolbox - opinions from owners

    I bought the OEM swing-out boxes for both sides. No issues installing and work perfectly. Good storage capacity, so as not to require a large truck box, taking up even more of the smaller "crew-cab" bed space. I shopped around and found a much better deal (for OEM, always higher price) than...
  8. 2025 vs 2024 Features List (Added/Missing)

    Hot Pepper Red no longer available for 2025.
  9. Cannot License New RR from Out-of-State Dealer.

    That sounds like BS... I live in Richland WA, just bought my RR 2 months ago from a dealer in Billings MT. Had it shipped here, went down to the DMV and had NO issues paying taxes & getting registration as soon as the title showed up.
  10. Custom Trailer Hitch Cover

    Wanted a custom trailer hitch cover, just as a small attention getter, while setting at traffic lights. Came up with this and a company on Etsy makes all kinds of custom hitch covers out of aluminum (along with other aluminum artwork). Hitch cover looks larger in the picture, than actual size...
  11. Rear Bed Step for a 25 RR?

    LOL... go figure!
  12. Rear Bed Step for a 25 RR?

    Also... how easy is it to use that step when the tailgate is down, that's prolly the big question.
  13. Rear Bed Step for a 25 RR?

    I would like to see a pic of how well that step tucks up under the truck also, as they don't show a photo of that.
  14. Rear Bed Step for a 25 RR?

    That is not one I had checked on, that looks like it could work out... as long as they are right and it'll work with the '24 / '25 RRs.
  15. Rear Bed Step for a 25 RR?

    Sorry, it would seem not for the RR (at least the '24), the exhaust is apparently in the way of the factory "built-in" side steps and the kind that mount near/under the rear bumper, at least the 2 manufacturers I checked with, said theirs would not would due to exhaust pipe placement.
  16. What's in the garage besides your Ranger

    Last of the 2024 V6 TRD Camrys... Toyota has stopped production of the V6 power plant and no more TRDs for the foreseeable future.. Pretty good lookin machine...
  17. Hitch Plug for Ranger Raptor - post yours here

    Well it's finished, had a private shop on Etsy fab this one up, and I think it looks just great with the Hot Pepper Red paint on my '24 Raptor. If anyone is interested, the shop is: Chavez Aluminum Art on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/ChavezAluminumArt). And the owner is willing to work with...
