To each his own... it's great that we can customize these vehicles to our liking.
I personally like the FORD in the grill of the Raptors... it's great heritage in my opinion.
I don't believe the non-Raptor Ranger grills will fit on your Raptor... but I may be wrong.
I used to paint vehicles on the side in the mid-eighties. Yes, I'm old. A gallon of auto paint was $28.00 per gallon.
I recall a college buddy wanting to see how paint was applied, joined me for a paint application. the vehicle was already primed in grey, not red lead. I had to wet sand the...
I ordered my GT350 in 2019, and I tracked the progress of the build. That was 7 years ago, and I forgot how the tracking progress started.
I ordered the Raptor one week ago.
I'm in no hurry, but I am wondering how the notification to future owners occurs now?
I recall entering my VIN from the...
My local dealer cannot get any dealer to trade for a 2025 or 2026 Raptor…. So I am going to place an order for a 2026. They estimate 10 - 14 weeks. I decided to go with the Raptor graphics, since the wife said it will look a lot less like a work truck in white. I disagree on the “work truck” on...
@TheTopher , we used to be neighbors... I lived in Walled Lake.
I moved South and have not missed the long winters with grey skies, potholes, the constant thumping of the highway expansion joints, under-carriage rust, and so on.
The roads her are smooth, and the winters are mild, but the summers...
Yeah… I fully agree, and I was never expecting to get into this realm of performance.
The RR is just an awesome little pickup with great heritage and a lot of capabilities. I’m excited to bring one home.
Thanks for all the great input folks… I’m gonna pull the trigger.
Might be next week, but I look forward to owning one of these.
Looking forward to changing my Avatar.
Future RR owner here... this is impressive that the angles are similar to a F-150 Raptor on 37's.
I plan on using the RR as a daily driver, but I do plan on taking it to Windrock Park in Oliver Springs, TN.
Once I saw this, I checked the angles on my Bronco 2-door Sasquatch on OEM 35's:
Approach...
This is what I noticed... the the slight bit of bogging. I didn't want to drive it to hard with the salesman in the vehicle and while driving on 35 mph roads.
You may have nailed it with this one... good point my friend!
Thanks for the replies... the one I test drove was used. It was a 2025 with 6K.
They had a new one, but the salesman offered the test drive in the used one and I figured they would be the same.
I'm not expecting acceleration like my car, but I was disappointed.
I shall return to the battle...
I am planning on replacing my 11 year old full size Chevy pick-up truck for a Ranger Raptor.
I currently have a 2024 Bronco Badlands Sasquatch with the 2.7 L.
It has 330 hp/415 tq. and an axle gear ration of 4.7:1.
The thing is actually quite peppy on the throttle response and the torque stays...
