Do you have the "Hold" feature turned on? If you do, after a full stop the brakes stay engaged until you hit the gas, then they release. It sounds like you're describing this effect.
It was my '24 Lariat. It felt good on the test drive, I'm thinking it's a truck firm ride, but good. Once I bought it and got it home I was rolling through the in-dash menus and saw my tire pressures are at 50psi all 4 tires - I check the label on the drive door jam.....Ford recommended tire...
To the OP, unless the Raptor set up is different than my '24 Lariat, the heated steering wheel temp in sync'd with the heat level of the driver's seat. If you have the heated seat set at 3-bars so is the steering wheel? Have you been running the heated set at "1-bar"?
I have a new '24 Ranger Lariat, I am noticing that regardless what I'm doing, including coasting down hill in neutral, the fuel economy bar graph never reads above 30ish mpg. Is this a "working as intended" thing?
