This is the kind of testing we need!
Does that mean that 285/70/17 on a stock 17x7.5 +55 wheel would have more UCA clearance than the 17x8.5 Raptor wheel?
I need to try eco mode again next time I'm in a flat area. I tried it on my usual drive once and it seemed to get worse mpg with all the hills we have around here.
Same here, I don't really go off-roading for the sake of off-roading. But I do like to hike, and figured the peace of mind was worth it for the next time I'm driving up some sketchy Colorado mountain road getting to a trailhead. Plus the protection against random road debris on the highway.
Should come off with just removing the 2 bolts on the back of the engine skid plate and loosening the front 2 bolts. It would've been nice to get the Rival engine skid so that I'd have an access panel to drain the oil. But the ford skid was significantly cheaper and is quite robust.
I must be the only person who wakes up early around here 😅
Very cool that you guys are doing this for Forum members! I’ve been running the bed mat for a while and really like it. Will soon be testing the tailgate mat to go along with it.
Installed the Rival transmission skid plate to go along with the Rival front skid and oem Bronco engine skid I installed the other day. Still need to go to the dealer to get an oem Bronco transfer case skid.
I drive long-bed supercrew F350s every day for work. I feel like the Ranger maneuvers like a go cart in comparison. Although I do miss the 1999 Mazda Miata I learned to drive on. That was amazing to drive in the city and to park.
Had an F150 and was considering getting a new one but didn't want to pay current F150 prices.
Thought about how I actually use my truck and determined that I could step down to a midsize and save a bunch of money while still being able to do everything I needed to.
Now I'm glad I ended up...
XL 4x4 with rear locker. I’ve seen alot more 6th gen’s on the road lately, but nearly all of them are XLT FX4s. I see more Ranger Raptors than I do other XLs.
