Today marks exactly 1 year since I picked up my Ranger Raptor from the dealership! As we start to approach 1 year ownership, what is your list of mods and experiences with it?
Mileage: Just under 15k
Mods:
Black Rhino Etosha wheels in Matte Bronze...
I thought some of you would enjoy this video on the new KO3s. It looks like BFG did a minor update to them. I'm wondering if the new RRaptors will come equipped with the updated design?
They are running 37s with portals. Looks pretty cool, but very expensive I'm sure. When he was talking about going faster than the baja lights could project, I assumed he got his rig to break the speed of light.
I just came across these new light bars. They have one that fits behind the grill like the Altiq as well as a curved one that fits on the outside of the grill. Both seem easy to install.

I was off-roading tonight on some pretty rocky/bumpy trails. I had it in "off-road" mode because I thought it was best for the terrain I was doing. Anyway, I tried putting it in Baja after a lot of bouncing around and I noticed the suspension felt substantially softer. I thought there were only...
I just saw a post from Mike Levine about the Raptor Rally coming up this September. Hopefully tickets aren't too expensive, it sounds like fun!

Ford seems to do this with all their vehicles and it makes me want to pull my hair out. Apple Carplay has full functionality while the truck is at a complete stop. As soon as you start rolling, the controls are gimped by Ford. If you go into your music library, and select "artist", it only shows...
I took my Raptor off-roading today, and I have to say, it handled like a dream! I went out with OutlandishOverland and shot some video for his Youtube channel. I'll post that here when it releases. In the meantime, enjoy some shots he took with my muddy Raptor!
It finally happened!!!! I never thought I'd see the day, but it finally arrived! Too bad I picked it up on a wet day, it was already dirty by the time I got it home.
A few thoughts:
Cactus Gray is THE color to have. It looks so good in person!
I love it SO much better in person than I...
I thought it would be nice to have one place to answer everyone's questions about the ordering process. This should clean up the forum a bit and avoid repeat questions. I don't have any association with Ford, or its dealers, so everything I've learned has been from these forums. Please feel...
The new camper from Roverking was just announced today. It's small, but a pretty cool option for a camper. It only weighs 550 lbs. so payload shouldn't be a problem, even for the RRaptor.

This doesn't look like great news.

Aren't the US engines the same as the Australian ones?
I was comparing the Ranger Raptor to the GMC Canyon AT4X last night and it looks like the Raptor is nearly 8 inches wider. That's huge! That's almost the difference between a mid-size and full-size. I REALLY don't want it to drive like a full-size.
Does the new Ranger Raptor feel a lot bigger...
This was a pretty good owner review I just came across. The most interesting part for me was learning you can tie the accessory lighting into the matrix headlights so they shut off automatically with approaching traffic.
Does anyone know if the onboard scales from the F150 have made it into the new Ranger? I haven't heard anything about it so I'm doubtful but it would be a cool feature.
I just came across this video from this guy that bought a RRaptor. Some of it can be ignored because he's comparing it with a camper van. Still, starting at 8:12 he talks about how his battery died and if he's telling the truth, it seems a bit alarming that opening and closing the door on the...
I was looking at the bed size from Ford's spec sheets. We've had conversations on here about the different size of the bed and tonneau covers not fitting etc. It looks like the new Ranger bed is about an inch wider and an inch and a half shorter but the cargo capacities are nearly the same...
