The problem with the risers is they are either black plastic or have to be painted. To properly paint match there would need to be some blending onto the factory paint on the hood and fenders, and paint matched items that are ordered painted never match the factory paint. Sounds like a pain on...
That’s awesome. I thought I’d seen most of the videos on the RR. Glad to see more about it, thanks. Now can’t wait to get mine and see what is offered after a few months in the states.
If that is the case, then good. I looked at a 100k Chevy Black Widow a few weeks ago, you can pull that fender flare away from the body 1/2 inch really easily, so if they sell any of those kinds for the Ranger, then people should avoid them.
One thing to remember about most fender flares - they usually attach with a few screws in the wheel well, which means as you drive they will vibrate against your paint, which will always lead to scratched clear coat and paint. I’ve seen it on dozens of older dodges and fords around Texas, and...
Depends on if it’s the raptor or not. To me it looks like the xl, xlt, and lariat have full plastic front bumpers, so I’m guessing you will have to cut up the stock bumper to fit a metal aftermarket one, just like they have to do on Toyotas. The Raptor looks like the bumper is removable and...
I paid 3k over for mine in Azure Gray. I have a relationship with my dealer, I’ve bought my 2018 Shelby Raptor, 2017 platinum F350 dually, 2012 F250, 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2021 platinum f250, 2019 platinum f150 diesel, and my 2021 gt350r Heritage carbon through them, and they still...
I might try taking the tailgate popper out of an f150 and mill or 3d print some brackets to make it work on the Ranger. Since it’s all Canbus it should be doable in Forscan. I won’t personally go for Chinese, an oem retrofit would work better. We were able to put the digital dash from a 18...
There were some pictures of finished RRs onhere a while back, so I had hoped those trucks were for the journalists, but still no good videos yet. I for one hate the tacoma, it’s mostly the plastic bumpers, which the rangers have too, but not the RR thankfully, so no cutting factory plastic to...
I’m gonna me optimistic and say May 2024 lol. That would put us in the same shoes as all the bronco people who waited a year to get theirs. Thankfully I didn’t get any of the few options I didn’t want anyway. I don’t like the beadlocks, and prefer aftermarket forged wheels, and I like my local...
I chose the RR because I wanted to build an overland rig, and my 2018 Raptor was too big to do that, so maybe the RR is too big as well, I guess I’ll find out. You may be right about the tow rating, but maybe not after adding the accessory weights paired with the weaker engine. The post says...
I like the front bumper, it’s way better than the all plastic factory option, but I wonder if they are cutting up the factory plastic bumper to fit the ARB option like I’ve seen people cut the new Toyotas all up to fit a metal bumper? That’s really the thing that pushed me to the Raptor Ranger...
I have a JL, and $60k is just new unmodified price, and when you kit one out, it gets much more expensive. I was going to Hellcat swap my 22 JL Rubicon, and doing that would make it much more expensive than a Braptor. $25k for axles, $15k for the engine, $10k in suspension, $6k in wheels and...
$3k ADM on my RR, with azure gray, no bead locks, and no decals, from my local dealer. I've bought 5 vehicles from them over the last 6 years, and they still wouldn't work with me on a 3rd gen Raptor or Bronco Badlands 4d hardtop for over a year looking at them, so a $3k markup sounded good...
My two bits on the Tacoma. There isn't even a build and price, so I can't see them being available before the Ford.
Also, If anyone cares, I sat in a new Colorado the other day. Kinda hated how cheap it felt, and I hate piano black trim that scratches immediately. I'm glad I went for the RR...
I’m jealous of everyone who got an email. I put a $1k deposit down for my Ranger Raptor on May 12th, well ahead of order banks opening on May 26th, to secure their apparent 1 allocation. My dealer didn’t get my order in until May 30th, dunno why the delay, and I have received zero emails or...
I’m going to wait for the Ranger Raptor as well. I only decided on the RR to build an overland rig, thinking it would be better than my f150 raptor on the trails. Maybe buy a cheap JK wrangler in the meantime to use and then sell when the RR comes in, or keep to hellcat swap on 1 tons. We just...
No luck here, but I did hear something funny today. I was at my favorite gun shop buying a scope for my new browning x-bolt, when I struck up a conversation with a guy that had a beautiful snazberry Jeep 392. I told him I had a RR order in, and he perked up and asked if it was black. I said no...
It can’t be as bad as the f150 raptor lol. We have 3 f150 raptors, 2 normal f150s, 2 srw super duty’s, and one dually. They all feel big, except for our 2014 crew cab 2wd f150, but the raptors are on another level of thicc. Comparing them to our 2021 Jeep JL Rubicon is night and day, especially...
I like it more without the tech package, at least it still looks like it has a distinct bumper, not one giant piece of plastic. I want to see what hoops y’all have to jump through to put a metal bumper or grill guard on those front ends. If there was no other difference between the lariat and...
Nice, gotta love vehicles keeping their value. I can’t wait to see the new “Mustards” in the public, I’ve only seen one briefly at Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale. We also bought a cool stang yesterday. A super cool 1 of 159 2011 Shelby GT350 with 329 miles since new. probably paid more than for a...
