  1. Poll: Stock or Pro Cal (What's your experience, Good, Bad, Meh?)

    That's interesting. I tried sport mode once and found it all a bit too aggressive for frequent use. If the Ford performance tune smooths that out a bit, that would be cool.
  2. Wider vs Narrower Off-Road Tires Comparison

    Taller, narrower tires produce a greater contact patch when aired down than shorter, wider tires. There are compromises in all things, but for maximum grip, you need to be looking at diameter, not tread or section width. The tire dimensions chosen for the Raptor are appropriate. I just don't...
  3. 2024 Ford ranger XLT FX4 2.3L POOR STOPPING DISTANCE.

    I'd say the Raptor's one failing grade would be the brakes. Just charge a few grand more and do better. It's almost a fully cohesive driving experience, but the brakes let it down. I suppose all trim levels would be a bit lacking, in this respect. EBC pads will indeed help, but they can't...
  4. Update - Bed Floor RAILs

    Outstanding! I'm happy to see it's something that can be purchased.
  5. New fun problem! Automatically switching drive modes

    I've only willingly changed the mode once. I tried sport mode, but didn't like it. Haven't touched it since, aside from correcting the modes when they change by themselves. The only thing I do on occasion is place the suspension alone into sport mode via the steering wheel button, but I...
  6. Any idea what this is for?

    Yup. That's what's under there. I actually had to use it. 🤣
  7. Goat Fab Sliders Installed - Big Improvement over Running Boards

    Some vehicles can use body-mounted sliders effectively, and some can't. It comes down to how that area is constructed.
  8. Update - Bed Floor RAILs

    That's super awesome. You make some great stuff, from what I've seen here. My eye is drawn to that bracket holding the Milwaukee inflator in place. 🤣 Great gear choice. I've had my inflator for a while now, and have used it just as much as the Power Tank. A sweet bracket for it would be...
  9. Husky vs Weathertech Floor mats

    I've always found Weathertech products to be quite good, and have used them in every vehicle I've owned (that they've supported) since I became aware of them. That being the case, however, I don't have any experience with the competition. The factory floor mats in my Ranger Raptor are a bit...
  10. LOTS of used Raptors with very low mileage

    Noting wrong with that at all. Motor vehicle enthusiasm doesn't have to make sense.
  11. New fun problem! Automatically switching drive modes

    The only suggestion Ford had when I spoke with them again today was to seek a second opinion at a different dealership. They themselves brought up the subject of a buyback, if the problem does present itself on a test drive. Right now, I think my dealer has over 200 miles on it trying to...
  12. If your 2024 or 2025 Ranger or Ranger Raptor has ever shifted drive modes by itself, post here.

    A brief interlude: If you're having this problem, report it to your dealership. That's the only way it will be solved. I just spoke with Ford again. They've got nothing on this. Now, back to recounting your tales of woe.
  13. LOTS of used Raptors with very low mileage

    I'm part of the problem. I'll never grow weary of a vast selection of grays and silvers. 🤣
  14. New fun problem! Automatically switching drive modes

    Ah, now I remember. It's the option to give your VIN that takes you to a person. Worked for me, anyway.
  15. New fun problem! Automatically switching drive modes

    Was just on the horn with Ford customer service, and they suggested they're going to run the issue up the flagpole a bit, as it's a safety issue. Hopefully they do. The dealership is still working with me on it. I strongly recommend others do the same. There's a solution to this. It just...
  16. LOTS of used Raptors with very low mileage

    I got a discount on mine that neither I nor the sales manager knew was coming. I'm not sure why, but there was indeed some manner of discount available. Then again, I didn't order it; I just bought it off the lot.
  17. LOTS of used Raptors with very low mileage

    It truly is a great deal. It's hard to think of anything else that provides as much value without stepping into GR Corolla territory.
  18. LOTS of used Raptors with very low mileage

    Hell, I got mine new for 56. It's an incredible value.
  19. New fun problem! Automatically switching drive modes

    It's always in my shirt pocket when I have it on me. I've got a Windows 10 Mobile phone from 2016.
  20. New fun problem! Automatically switching drive modes

    I don't connect anything to the vehicle wirelessly, but it's got a lot of it's own connections going on. I would think it would be a little more wide-spread if that were the case, but who knows?
