With my 2025 2.7L I have noticed a marked difference between premium and regular gas. Now to quantify this a bit, the Ranger is totally stock and I've only been running Costco and Chevron gas through it, using Mobil 1 oil, and doing nearly all driving in town. Surprisingly, I'm achieving about...
Wow, and since I in the process or ordering a 2026 Raptor R in Ruby Red, your demographics data, and your statement, is just flat not correct, and pretty assumptious.
Wow, that's a pretty incorrect statement there bucko. Some people just don't see any benefit to Ranger Raptors, or Maverick Tremors. Besides, I usually fly Alaska, WAY nicer flights than Delta. :like:
I did a review of all Western region dealerships within 750 miles of me a back in August. Just about ALL big city and large chain dealerships were anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 over invoice. Portland area had one dealership wanting $15,000 over invoice. Dealerships along the coast, and in So...
Strange, mine does that quite often, although occasionally it works. My wife's F 150 on the other hand starts from the app ALL of the time. I can even start her truck at work, while I'm at home. I'm lucky if I can start the Ranger while its sitting in the driveway. Must be a Ranger thing....
You're probably right. The "science" behind CAIs has always been questionable at best. I've been playing with engines for a long time, including the local NHRA scene with my old old Cuda and Shelby over 50 years back. Thing I've noticed is that realized gains from CAIs are minimal at best...
Well, Ford also quit making mid-sized trucks because "no one wants one", then they realized that no one else quit so they had nothing to compete with in the popular mid-sized truck market. Then they discontinued cars because once again "no one wants one," except now Toyota, Hyundai and Kia have...
Last I heard from Ford is that WE already have a "Ranger based SUV", its called the Ford Bronco, which oddly isn't available outside of the North American market. Outside of the NA market, they have the Everest, but not the Explorer or the Bronco. I seriously doubt that Ford is going to...
Dunno John, I'd love to have my old 95 Bronco 351 (5.8L) back. It got 20 mpg uphill, downhill, in the summer or at -30 below. It even averaged 20 mpg pulling my old Alaskan 1/4" aluminum jet boat, which also had a 351. Wish they had V8s today that could do that. On the other foot, my old 70...
I was in the exact same boat myself. I decided to sell my F 150 and buy a smaller truck that was easier to park and get around town with. I looked at all the available mid-sized trucks, but after 50 years of Ford F Series trucks, I decided on Ford (imagine that). I did look at the Maverick...
I totally agree with getting a good tire shop to look at it. Still, Raptors run 285/70 R17s which are only marginally larger tires, but necessitate a very different suspension. And he is thinking deflating the tires for sand, which is going to make bead seal changes on the 9" wheel...
You may want to look at that, after looking at Steve's pics, and looking at the tire sizes on paper, I'd suspect you may see some rubbing. Not only do the 275 70 17s have an increased 1.1" sidewall height, they also have an increased section width of .8". That's getting close to Raptor sized...
Just a question, but Zach@Granger posted this six months back, Mar 3, 2025 .
💥Attention💥
Ford is moving up their annual price increase on their Extended Warranties to April 1st. Prices will increase double digit percentage points starting on April 1st!
This happens once a year!!! 👀
So...
I'm not sure this impacts all 2025 Rangers, to my understanding it just affects some vehicles with a specific Bosch Electric Brake Booster installed, supposedly only 1% . I haven't received a recall notification (yet) for my Lariat, but the wife has gotten multiple notifications on her F 150...
Just got an email from Borla stating that their "true dual exhausts" for the 2.7 are now available. I guess I need to order the black chrome tips now.
Borla Performance is excited to announce the release of our Cat-Back S-type exhaust systems for the 2024-2025 Ford Ranger!
These Cat-backs are...
