Check your coolant level and see if it is outside of the operating range when the vehicle is cold. If it's below the minimum line, it could very well be a cylinder sealing issue. Make note of the level if it's within range (take a photo) and check it every day or two at the same...
I don't think it's not always that you don't care. Everything we buy has an aspect of value, so if the truck is more valuable to you, then you make a decision. If your time is more valuable than saving some money, then you make that decision. Some people are lucky that they don't need to deal...
In the scope of things, $2,500 isn't the end of the world for me personally. There are dealers out here in CA still trying to get $10k+ over on a 2024. Some areas have plentiful MSRP deals, other areas like mine, it's like finding a needle in a haystack. I should be picking up my 24 RR on...
Your better option is trying to find a 2024. You will need to pound the pavement to find a deal. If you want a connection to a Bay Area California dealership who will likely have a list for MY25 Ranger Raptors @ MSRP, PM me.
Ah. It was a heater hose. Regardless of the hose, the cooling system dumped the coolant and the truck got hot enough to derate itself. I honestly wouldn't sweat it. If you're worried about it, then open a case with Ford, explain that you have longevity concerns because you had to drive the...
Might be helpful to post your production date from the door jamb sticker as some of these things are likely to be mitigated during the production process.
Could have been an assembly issue or a bad constant tension clamp. In the scope of things, it does happen but is likely pretty rare. Thankfully the logic in the truck was able to derate itself but allowed you to limp it to a safe area. The good news is it's an easy fix.
The Ranger Raptor I have a deposit on reached Richmand, CA over the weekend, and my dealer thinks it should arrive to them mid-week. I'm scheduled to be there at 9 AM Saturday to pick it up. It's a Cactus Gray RR w/ Beadlocks, Graphics Package, Keypad, and the engine block heater built...
I had ordered from Ford OEM Parts Direct a couple of weeks ago for $138.98 shipped from NJ to California. Mine shipped out yesterday via USPS priority mail and should be here on Saturday. This is for the Ranger Raptor version. I paid $124.66 + $14.32 for expedited shipping.
I just want to give a shout out to Signature Lux. Anne from there emailed me when I put in a pre-order for the dual color grille lights wanting to make sure I was okay with the wait. I then saw that there was some concern about the dual fog lights I also had on order fitting the US Ranger...
I was thinking the same thing but didn't post it. lol The things people fret over or waste their time doing is insane. It's not like this forum is bustling with activity, so if there's a few new posts to read, yay!
Sounds like the typical Ford dealer. We got your money, so don't bother us. The fact they should be reminded of is the keypad is an OPTION and it was paid for, so it should work. If they had bothered to run your VIN and looked in Oasis, they would have seen the SSM I posted and the process...
