That's crazy even by Colorado standards.

When I had my Ranger Raptor, I preferred the Sport preset. But if you wanted a more relaxed steering feel, the Normal or Comfort preset made a noticeable difference. I never noticed any kind of shimmy with mine, so it was probably just a tire balance issue. The weights may have somehow fallen...

That's an option. Personally, I'd be somewhat apprehensive to go that route just because you'd be losing some thread engagement even with that lug nut design. But ultimately it's just down to how much risk tolerance you have.

No problem, let me know if you have any other questions. The Vredestein Pinza AT tires are 3 peak rated so if you end up going with them you'd be covered there regardless.

Also, so you can actually put eyes on it, this is how much clearance 265/70R18 gives you with the stock upper control arms. 275/70R18 reduces that clearance by an additional ~0.2 inches or ~5mm.

265/70R18 is slightly shorter and slightly narrower than 275/70R18. It’s not a huge visual difference, but it gives you better clearance and also provides more options for standard load-rated tires. The tires I run for example, the Vredestein Pinza AT, are available in a standard load rating at...

So with standard load 275/70R18s, you're probably looking at about 10 to 15 lbs of additional unsprung mass per wheel. That’s not so much that you couldn’t run the stock FX4 shocks with a spacer lift kit, but keep in mind that the added unsprung weight will cause those shocks to wear out faster...

I have a current gen Lariat that has a modest lift and bigger tires. I've also owned other modified Rangers in the past. I'd be happy to give you some recommendations, but I’d need to ask you a couple of questions first. 1. Does your 2026 Lariat have the FX4 off-road package, or is it just a...

That is weird. Maybe they're confusing it with the 2026 since that one isn't certified for California yet?

What year was your Ranger?

I use a Shop-Vac. I think suction is most important, so I'm willing to sacrifice other aspects to get that.

It’s a 65 qt cooler from a company called Siberian Coolers. It’s similar to a YETI cooler, but it’s supposed to be a bit more heavy duty and has a bear resistant certification. Here’s a link to the cooler if you’re interested. It’s actually $130 dollars off right now...

I believe there is a thread on here of somebody doing just that.

The Coyote 5.0 could be tuned to make up to 500 horsepower if Ford were inclined to do so, since that’s what it produces in other low-production specialty vehicles like the Mustang Dark Horse. That would give it more HP then the standard Ranger Raptor and would probably get a lot of enthusiasts...

If Ford ever released a Ranger Raptor R with a larger engine, what would be your preference for the engine? I feel like if Ford did pull the trigger on one, they would likely either put a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it or, more likely, a 3.5L EcoBoost V6. • 3.5L EcoBoost V6: 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft...

I agree with Ron Quixote that it’s possible they may update the SYNC system and make a few minor tweaks around the edges, but I wouldn’t expect any major updates to the Ranger until its next generation, especially something as significant as a new powertrain configuration. They may even remove...

Ceramic tint on the front windows to match the rear.

Here's the link. https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-9603-REB27 It was very recently updated so they may not have updated the compatibility checker yet. But it will fit 2024 through 2026. Though it's not available in California for 2026 yet.

One extra benefit is that you get the ProCal tool with the tune, so you can do things like change your tire size after installing larger ones. Now my speedometer isn’t inaccurate anymore.

Okay, so my initial impressions of the Ford Performance calibration for the 2.7L EcoBoost are that it provides a modest improvement in power, along with a moderate improvement in areas like throttle response and shift logic. Having previously installed the Ford Performance calibration on my...
