Trust me, I sure understand how you feel about the plastic being damaged by reflected heat. Unfortunately, with the automotive materials being utilized today, this kind of damage is not unusual. I do wish however that auto makers would inform clients of this type of damage so we can be more...
Wow, unfortunately I’m pretty sure I know what happened as this also happened to me on a Ford Escape with similar mirrors.
- Reflected heat from a nearby window made with “high performance” glass (most new homes and office buildings use this stuff which has a reflective coating, I’m an...
I thought about switching out to rock rails, like those installed on our 22 Bronco, but I think the RRaptor running boards are why we have gotten zero rock chips on the sides of the truck after 3000 miles. Besides, not getting any rock chips, nobody dings my doors in parking lots ? with the...
No issues with ground clearance except at the rock obstacle in the photo as I slightly nicked the bottom edge of the driver’s side running board on a rock - very minor cosmetic damage and easily repaired. I was surprised that there was zero scratches on undercarriage, not even a rock chip from...
Deserted would be an accurate description of the Park, and the City of Borrego Springs, which is typical this time of the year. Since we timed our arrival for late afternoon the temps were fine. Sleeping in our tent was challenging, the air temps were in the high 70s at night but the ground...
We are regular off-road enthusiasts with many trips to desert trails in California, including King of the Hammers events with Bronco Nation in our 22 Bronco Badlands, but this was our first adventure in our 24 Ranger Raptor.
Compared to our 22 Bronco, which is an incredible vehicle, the...
Way to go Mitch!
We also acquired our Ranger Raptor at MSRP (Ford gave us an additional factory rebate since it was a "special order") from Brad Howell Ford in Kokomo Indiana (thanks to Kevin and Brittany of Lite Brite Nation telling their YouTube fans of their great experience with Andy Redmond...
We are fortunate to own both a 2022 4 door Bronco Badlands with 8,000 miles, stock KO2 33” tires, and now a 24 Ranger Raptor with 3,000 miles and stock KO3 33” tires. On the road the Bronco has a lighter but more of a “truck” feel with the shorter wheel base than the Raptor being very evident...
I'm a 22 Bronco owner and considering trading for a Ranger. I like the Bronco but a truck would better suit my needs. I've read some reviews and one thing the Ranger seems to get zonked for is steering. I've always been quite impressed with the Bronco steering. It has good feedback in my...
We picked our Ranger Raptor up in Kokomo, Indiana, from Brad Howell Ford (the most awesome people with Andy Redmon being our salesman getting us the vehicle at MSRP) and drove it 2,400 miles home to California (an epic road trip with a couple detours to see friends in Texas while dodging a...
Ford Parts sent me the Embark cover and I personally installed it (I am a decent shade tree mechanic and even worked on a Ford assembly line back in the day) since I wanted to make sure it was installed properly and did not want to rush the work. I can say this fits slightly better than the one...
Just a note to all 6 Gen Ranger owners, the Embark (Retrax) tonneau cover for 2023 and older trucks will NOT, repeat, will NOT fit a 2024 model (from my review of 24 Raptor and standard 24 Ranger the beds appear to be the same) so make sure to only buy a cover for a 24 Ranger. We ordered an...
