I bought my 2025 RR 500 miles away to avoid the mark up. I have 2 dealerships within a 15-20 mile radius I take it to for service if needed. 1 even has a mobile service Iāve used for the several recalls Iāve had. You shouldnāt have to take it back to your original dealer for anything. Service...
Good info here on the VDM ride height re-cal using FORScan

Yes, you must get your front end aligned. I had to take it to the dealer (twice) to get it aligned correctly. Most typical shops don't have the updated alignment settings to do it.
No UCAs replaced. stock are fine unless you want a different color or something that stands out.
Maybe later down...
Did the install - even though RangerLifts does it without removing the lower shock nut/bolts, I highly recommend it rather than trying to muscle it out with a crow bar. I did the muscle part on one side and it took me longer than just taking the lower shock assly nut/bolt out and letting it drop...
The standard Ranger is rated at 7500lbs towing capacity and the Raptor is 5510lbs - FOR A REASON......and it's all about the advanced suspension. Even though the Raptor obviously out performs the standard Ranger in every way and has the HP, it wasn't built for towing heavy loads. It wouldn't be...
Ok clown show. Not sure where in my post I said I "hate living here so much" so it must be something on your mind, not mine.
If you agree on all the crazy policies here then you are part of the problem, not the solution.
How about you save your snide remarks, no where in my post was I...
again
"never connect to a computer again'??? LOL
Unless the dealer or shop is just fixing a flat tire, everything they do starts with hooking up and reading diagnostics codes via a computer. Not sure how life would be possible without ever hooking the truck up to a computer again......
Here in Commiefornie with the "special blend" of summer gas 91 octane - 2025 RR with Tune - I average around 12.9 - 13.5 around town. Did a road trip to Pismo Beach a couple weekends ago and averaged about 17.5 with mostly freeway driving. I think I hit 20 one time on a trip to Yosemite BEFORE...
Maybe someone in your area is knowledgeable but itās relatively easy. Just follow that video.
You can get the ODB from Amazon for $70 and you can download FORScan and get a 2 month extended license for free. You will need it for many things like adjusting ride height (VDM) after a lift & bigger...
You absolutely have to use FORScan to set the new ride height (VDM) and you'll want to adjust the tire circumference and speedometer as well using FORScan if you are going with larger (35") tires.
Cheapest & compatible I would recommend using this from Amazon:
OBDLink EX FORScan OBD Adapter...
I did the Fordrangerlifts.com 2:1 spacers, Bronco Sasquatch wheels (+30 offset) and 35ā KO3s and during the process my passenger side rear ride height sensor got broken. Pretty disappointing that itās mostly made out of plastic and very susceptible to breaking due to the little arm and plastic...
Nice looking seats but I'd have to be living in Death Valley to justify $3500 - The A/C, especially with remote start, does a great job of cooling things off in a hurry.
I just got back from the Ranger Raptor Assualt in Utah where it was 100 on the full day of putting the truck through all its capabilities. The trucks never ran hot. We ran the AC all day, even while sitting idle. The fan is for the AC and it functions very well and IMO, not that loud.
I was...
