You have a 5 year 60,000 mile power train warranty from Ford. Only my opinion, but I think you are overreacting.
There will be a TSB with a software update for this sometime in the near future.
After mine sits a more than a day I have been putting it into neutral before starting the engine (accessory mode->neutral->crank engine) and it has not happened again but its also been only a week since I started this experiment.
My Ranger is a 2026 XLT, but it is certainly possible the Raptor behaves differently. After you have your Raptor in accessory mode (i.e. the instrument panel and the infotainment screen are booted up) are you remembering to push and hold the brake pedal as you move the transmission shifter to...
Put the ignition into accessory mode. Then push in the brake pedal put transmission into neutral. Then you can push your Ranger. I do this frequently.
With a key start, putting the ignition into accessory mode is just like cars have been for decades. For push button start push the start button...
Good thought, but if it was motor mounts I would expect the clunk to be repeatable on nearly every startup. This clunk is very intermittent.
Our Rangers can be started with the transmission in neutral. I’m betting that the clunk will not happen when starting the engine that way. I’m going to...
The Lomax (from Agri-Cover) has now been modified to work with the 2026 Ranger. I received mine today and the installation looks like it should go smoothly.

I ordered Desert Sand with Sandstone interior (XLT) on 01/31/26. It shipped on 03/28/26 and will be in my hands by 04/11/26. It will also have the bed steps.
Every company has limited development resources (a.k.a. a budget). If you are the CFO for a company, you invest those limited resources into areas that are going to produce the biggest return for your investment.
Investing limited resources into the development of a Ranger super cab which has...
Why would Ford bring low volume and lower margin vehicles (the Ranger Supercab and Ranger Super Duty) to North America at the expense of their highest volume and highest margin vehicles (the F series)? That would not make any financial sense.
Ford is in business to maximize profits and share...
It’s a hard pass for me If it’s made in China. And since the OP did not answer my question it likely is China.
Last thing I want to do is send my money to the CCP. Truly despicable government.
