  1. Another Recall - 26E04 for IAT Sensor Fault Detection

    Based on my quick search this appears to be an issue with the sensing range for IAT sensor faults aka the PCM detection range for IAT sensors that are operating out of their range is the issue. My big question is, will those of us with the Pro Cal need to wait until FP updates their calibration...
  2. C&D 10k Mile test RR Picks up 2/10ths from Break-in and Cold Weather

    2026 Ford Ranger Raptor Long-Term Road Test: 10,000-Mile Update Interesting how the break in shaved off some quarter mile time. Their test truck ran 14.1 quarter when new, at just 10k, at least in cooler weather they are at 13.9. Trap speed increased by only 1 mph, so it's pushing out about...
  3. The Lion's Road & Rally Build - A Different Take on the RR

    Introduction Most people on the forum seem to gravitate towards bigger tires and lifts to tackle rougher terrain. I have zero issues with that. But big tires have a LOT of trade-offs for little gain even in specific instances, sometimes that extra 1" of clearance matters, other times it's...
  4. Ohio Factory Beadlock Wheels for Sale - $300 for the Set

    Asking $300 for the full set, includes factory lug nuts, willing to do a meet for local pickup if in the Cleveland, Ohio area. I have already boxed up in boxes that my Method 705s came in. There are minor scratches / scuffs on the beauty rings from the tire shop ironically, theres in small...
  5. Stock Ranger Raptor vs. Beer o'Clock Hill

    Off-road truck BATTLE: USA v Japan v China v Australia - who makes the TOUGHEST truck? Seen plenty of highly modified vehicles FAIL to get up this hill, it's a pretty tough challenge, but this bone stock Ranger Raptor makes it up. Driver skill is absolutely a part of it and I think too many...
  6. Ford Recall 26S30 -- Loose Front Seat Bolts in 2024-2026 Ranger

    Just an FYI, this could be coming your way depending on the particular VIN. Ford Recalls 179,000-Plus Broncos, Rangers for Front-Seat Issue Ford’s latest recall affects some 179,700 examples of its Ranger pickup truck and Bronco SUV and involves an issue with the front seats. Affected...
  7. F-150 Approach, Breakover and Departure (stock) vs. Ranger Raptor

    I see a lot of people claim the RR stock needs this or that and really kind paint it as a not so great and desperately in need of bigger tires and a lift to do any serious off-roading (trails etc.). There is no doubt that if you want to optimize the RR for wheelin', those can offer some...
  8. Impact of an intercooler only on stock EcoBoost engines -- COBB's Well Documented Testing

    Ford Bronco Intercooler Upgrade - COBB Tuning Not sure if anyone has seen this before, but it's more of an FYI to really answer some questions. Their methodology was pretty consistent, and all testing was done of the factory ECU calibration from Ford, with time for octane learn after PCM reset...
  9. Method 705s Are Another Lighter Weight Wheel Option

    Got my 705s today in 17x8.5 ET+35 and threw one on the scale just to verify: Getting them mounted up tomorrow. I know the 703s are probably the most popular, but the 705 has the same load rating, offset and width but is almost another 3lbs lighter. I looked at RRWs but wasnt wanting to go...
  10. Another Review Video

    First Time Off-Road in the 2025 Ranger Raptor | GW National Forest Not sure if anyone saw this, but decent video comparing the RR to a Wrangler Rubicon (apples to oranges) and a 3rd gen TACO on 35's. Seems to me that it holds true that the best mod for wheelin' without messing with tires /...
  11. KO3 tires tested by Tire Rack off-road + My Experiences

    Our First Off-Road Tire Test: All-Terrain and Max Traction/Mud Terrain This thread isn't so much a "there's no better tire", but rather the aggregate of information for AT category. Lots of opinions on the KO3's and some people are going to swear they are garbage no matter what, while others...
  12. Maintenance Tip for Cold Weather Start-Driving w/Pro Cal

    I know there's been some discussion about cold start practices minimizing cold start / driving wear for longevity on a cold engine, but this can be a bit a chore especially with something like the Pro Cal upgrade since it more aggressively revs out even with a cold engine. There's two primary...
  13. Ranger Raptor vs. Full Sized F-150 Tremor and Ram 1500 Rebel (Car and Driver Review)

    Not exactly an Apples-to-Apples comparison, but it does give one perspective at just how capable a stock RR really is in terms of everything except towing / payload (which is good enough for most of us even as is). 2024 Ford F-150 Tremor vs 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel: Backwoods Brawlers What's...
  14. Has Anyone Jumped their RR with Stock Tires and +35mm Offset Wheels?

    Looking to see if that off set will cause the stock tires to rub the top of the fender at full compression. I really like the Black Rhino BR028's, they come in +35mm off set. No, they aren't super light, 32lbs, but it's 5lbs lighter than my stock bead lockers and they look WAY better. I can...
  15. In-depth with Ranger Raptor and Ford Performance Race Team at Finke 2025

    Not sure if this was ever posted, but really cool in-depth video with the race team on the pre-race prep, testing etc. HOW TO RACE A RANGER RAPTOR WITH FORD PERFORMANCE - PART 1
  16. What I Learned Off-Roading at Southington OHV Park in NE Ohio

    2024 RR that is stock aside from Pro Cal, tonneau cover and bug guard. Since I had just a cheap Husky air compressor I only aired down to 30 psi since it takes FOREVER to even get 10 PSI back into the tires. Note that Southington is dominated by Jeeps, literaly 90% of the vehicles there were...
  17. Potential Cooling Mod from the Factory Race Truck

    Just noticed this when I watched one of the videos on the desert truck that ran the Baja 1000 and Tatts Finke: Right behind the guys head, notice the big cutout for the hood vents? Likely to enhance cooling under race conditions. If anyone ever turns the truck into something other than a UTV...
  18. Jeep 392 Fail

    Why I SOLD My Jeep Wrangler 392 (It Let Me Down…) Fastest production jeep ever made, but apparently the engineering doesn't hold up very well. Very interesting and honest video from a 392 fan. Given a RR cost about 1/2 of that and is more practical, with just a pro-cal + IC, it will run close...
  19. F-150 Raptor vs 1 million dollar Raptor T1 Trophy Truck

    Ford Raptor vs $1,000,000 Raptor T1+ Obviously the T1 just smokes it, but really cool video showcasing the T1's performance but also how capable a production F-150 (and by extension, the Ranger and Bronco) really is. On the technical track section, the T1 ran a ~42 second time while the F-150...
  20. Wider vs Narrower Off-Road Tires Comparison

    3 Scientific Experiments to Settle This | Wide vs Narrow Off-Road Tires I've stated this before, I plan to keep stock tire size even if I ever decided to switch to a different tire type and for good reason. There's also some really interesting info in there on the K03's and just how well...
