  1. Mud Flaps, yay or nay?

    So doing some research on Canada's mudflaps, the requirement is by Province. Alberta requires mudflaps if the tire is not protected by a fender down to the center of the axle on all commercial and non-commercial trucks. The mudflaps must also be the width of the tire. Passenger vehicles do...
  2. Mud Flaps, yay or nay?

    I have Weathertech front and rear. Have them on all my vehicles. I don't notice them except when I wash the vehicles. The inside of the splash guards are doing what they are supposed to do because they are filthy.
  3. Who is considering upgrading to the RT (Ranger Tremor)

    Not trading my Lariat. Might trade my wife's Escape. My sales guy who owns a 2023 Ranger Tremor is not trading. He said that the engine will most likely be the 2.7L Ecoboost, reserving the 3.0 for Raptor. Does not think the 3.5L will be available. Expect unique rims and tires, decals, etc...
  4. My first month as been busy with mods on my 2025 Lariat 2.7L Build

    No drone. You can hear the exhaust tone change with each shift. Borla has three levels of tone. The 2.7L V6 is S-type, which is balanced between Touring and ATAK. You get on the pedal and you can hear it. ATAK is designed for the RR and more aggressive. Borla has videos for the 2.7L and...
  5. My first month as been busy with mods on my 2025 Lariat 2.7L Build

    Looks great! Now...Borla exhaust! Love mine with the 2.7L.
  6. $22,000 RR Dealer Markup - Really???

    I don't see a market given $30K on just three trucks. If there was, then why isn't every dealer in California selling RR at that price, which is the cost of a Ford F150 Raptor here? I agree they can charge whatever and the buyer can say No. The dealer is paying to keep the unsold vehicles on...
  7. $22,000 RR Dealer Markup - Really???

    Future Ford of Sacramento, California, had three 2025 RR at $30K over MSRP. They are supposedly an award-winning dealership. Places like this should be reported to the State Attorney General, for gouging, but then there are people who will pay it. $90K gets you an F150 Raptor at Don Hattan in...
  8. One or Two Struts for the Tailgate?

    My F150 Lariat came with an OEM tailgate assist mounted inside the rear taillight cavity. Less likely to get damaged. Wonder if someone makes one like that?
  9. Desert Sand or Carbonized Grey Metallic??? Need to finalize my order.

    If anyone is still looking, Conklin Ford in Newton, KS has a 2025 XLT in Desert Sand with ebony interior for $7,600 off MSRP. They just got in a not yet listed 2026 RR in White, MSRP, no ADM.
  10. I thought I was missing something

    None on the Lariat. Mine is now covered by the rubber gasket and foam strip for the Retrax pro MX tonneau. Would like to give Ford design engineers credit for that but who knows?
  11. Speaking of Tires - Dueler AT Ascent

    Did you look up the tire spreadsheet from YukonRanger? He put a lot of work into it. Might be useful to you.
  12. Latest Software Update last night

    My dealer just called to bring the Ranger in for the trailer hitch software recall. Doing that Monday. Should take an hour. Small dealership; no Ford tech home service.
  13. Desert Sand or Carbonized Grey Metallic??? Need to finalize my order.

    As many have observed, buy a 2026, and you are paying more for less. If you see a 2025 that you like, buy it.
  14. Desert Sand or Carbonized Grey Metallic??? Need to finalize my order.

    In my area it is Black, White, Red, and Grey/Silver. Not much else selling. Do you want to blend in or stand out? Do you want popular colors at resale or not? Concerned with heat reflection? Are you accessorizing? To me, Desert Sand is more regional, Carbonized Gray has broader appeal. If...
  15. What Jim Farley Learned About Trucks From a Trip to the Outback (Australia)

    Jim Farley has to recoup his $1.4 billion investment in EV, PHEV, and Hybrids, plus eat the failed F150 Lightning as it transforms into a truck version of the Chevy Volt. Ranger sales are not going to fill his coffers. The commercials here show where the money is: F series, Bronco, and...
  16. Finished my 2024 Ranger XLT build 😁

    I like what you did. Very sharp. Regarding the flares, always liked that clean edge look. You had the body shop make the cut outs for you. Had not thought of that. My hesitation is my Weathertech splash guards won't work with flares and I like the stone protection. Would be nice if flares...
  17. What Jim Farley Learned About Trucks From a Trip to the Outback (Australia)

    Farley views the future as EV, PHEV, and hybrid. $1.4 Billion invested and that has to come out of somebody's hide: higher customer prices and cheap labor. Goodbye Australian manufacturing. Wait until RAM jumps into the midsized NA market.
  18. Mirror assembly - 2026s don’t have side mirror turn indicators

    That cubby is useless. Should have A/C and heat vents there and maybe USBs for charging.
  19. Window Tint Options...Pros/Cons, Etc.

    Looks great! Especially like the wet look.
