We run mostly sand dunes and high speed in our area where we spend a few days out in the desert.
Last year I tested the Bronco badlands sasquatch (35 tires) with the sway bar disconnect. Off road capability was generally very good with some minor cons from my personal observation.

Yes it is strange
Though I think US gets a sliding rear window opening
Another strange fact is the vehicle has remote start feature but no remote start key fob! So you can do it by phone.
A popular mod here is to buy key fob version that has the remote start button and it works flawlessly
Our Raptors all came standard with auto start/ stop feature with a button next to the transmission gear to disable it.
Defaults back to "on" after every key start along with a few other safety features which is slightly annoying.
Fortunately it's way too hot here so the system never actually...
I'd be willing to bet 90% of dealers, regardless of brands, fill in many of these check-lists without looking at the vehicle.. They are in a rush to move them out the door as fast as possible. Hence why I personally insist on witnessing the vehicle services in-person whenever I can.
During my...
Few more updates on daily stuff
Went to the underground parking today for the first time. Roof clearance sign said 2.10 meters max height (~6ft 11 inches).. plenty of clearance even with the long antenna sticking off the roof.
Either way, I still have the stubby version on order from Amazon
Sad part is all this mess due to low diff fluid which could have been avoidable if the dealer actually did proper checks prior to delivery.
At least it's not due to a design or mechanical flaw.
I would describe the ride as "sporty" but neither floaty nor firm or punishing.
Eats small bumps and potholes like they are not there (most probably due to the large wheels) but slightly firmer on bigger bumps such as speed bumps.
Though I'm only 100 miles
om the odo so the Fox shocks may...
In the Australian videos Aux 5 and 6 only light up when the headlight stalk high beam is triggered.
In my truck (Middle East region, Thailand build) I notice Aux 5 and 6 light up regardless of high beam stalk position, indicating they may run independently. I haven't run any lights up front to...
Starting the obligatory thread now that I've received the truck this week.
Next few steps are to move my UHF radio and ikamper mini tent to the bed of the truck from my 4Runner. Build thread is here in case anyone is curious where I'm coming from.
Looking for a simple crossbar setup and bed...
Coming from a fully modded 2015 Toyota 4Runner to a 2023 (new gen) Ranger Raptor. Learning from previous mods, my aim is to keep the truck as streamlined and light as possible.
Starting this thread to keep track of good quality rail and crossbar setup for a RTT above the bed. Not that...
coming from a modded 2015 4Runner and a 2020 Land cruiser 200 series daily which was supposed to be modded after selling the 4Runner.
Ended up selling the 200 series (resale value is crazy right now) and putting up the 4Runner for sale after I receive the Ranger Raptor next week.
4Runner was...
For the sake of general info.. I can confirm we do get rear A/C vents in the Thailand made 2023 Ranger Raptors trucks in our region as standard (Middle East)
