Don't forget that dealers place insane markups on Raptors. I've seen them as high as +$10,000. Good luck trying to buy one AT MSRP, let alone below. I don't call that a bargain. I've never paid, nor will I ever, MSRP for a new vehicle.
Valero has always performed perfectly in my 2018 F150 2.7L, and as a bonus, it was the least expensive in my (previously in NY) area. There aren't any around me now (Arizona), so I use either Chevron or Quick Trip. In a pinch I'll use Circle K (Bleh!), but I make sure to add a bottle of Techron...
It's almost February and I'm still waiting... Neither the Ranger, F150 nor Bronco has been updated to the 2026 Build & Price. I don't think Ford wants to sell any trucks this year. They must have had record profits last year, so perhaps they feel they can slack off?
I'd like to know when Ford plans on putting the 2026 "Configurator" (Build and Price) up. I'm fairly certain, fron what I've seen that the base price is going up several thousand dollars.
Not that I would ever buy a VW, but they at least listened to their customers. They're transitioning back to mechanical knobs, switches and levers. Ford needs to do this.
Checked the Bilstein website today, and still no product listing for the 5100's for a 2025 Ranger. I've had the 5100's on my 2018 F150 for years, and they are seriously game-changing. I hope something comes along soon.
