I was asked if I had to decide between my 2026 Ranger or my 2024 Bronco, and had to keep only one, which one would I choose?
Here is the Ranger:
With 405 horsepower, and it being new to me, it has the advantage.
Here is the Bronco:
It is a 2-Door with the 2.7 twin turbo and a quite rare...
I sold my full-sized pickup and was planning on buying a trailer for my '24 Bronco to haul stuff when needed.
The wife informed me that we now only have 2-door vehicles, and she said we need another 4-door vehicle.
OKAY... buy a Raptor I thought... she agreed.
I originally thought that the...
I searched, and found one thread which talked about the soft re-boot and also battery dis-connect.
I did both numerous time to no avail.
I also checked with NHTSA, and there are no recalls for my VIN.
Here is what I have now:
First time seeing it:
After soft reboot:
After battery...
The last time I installed wheel spacers was on a new 2003 Cobra. Ford tucked the wheels in too much for my taste.
I had zero issues. The Ranger Raptor looked like the wheels were tucked in too much as well.
I installed Titan wheel spacers, and I think it looks better now.
I also placed a flat...
I got my personalized plate today:
I checked on-line when I ordered the truck months ago and this plate was available.
I figured someone with a 2026 Raptor (F-150/Bronco/Ranger) was going to snag it in the months I had to wait for it to be built.
I got LUCKY...!!!!
I have always wondered just how far away I am from what the rear camera is warning me about.
Green/Yellow/Red... okay, but what is the actual distance?
I actually measured from the receiver, since that is what will contact first.
The first lines are the green ones:
Distance to the...
My last three Ford's that I leveled, I had to re-aim the headlights, so I didn't blind on-coming drivers.
I placed the vehicle 25' away from a garage door, marked the top of each projected headlight beam.
The truck went from this:
To this:
I placed the vehicle back in the same location...
Let's see how this lasts?
I put the Cerakote Rapid Ceramic Tire Coat on my BFG K03's... this stuff is supposed to last for a while.
Let's see....???
It actually looks good. It is not glossy and it does not sling.
They actually have the product on a BFG All Terrain tire on their product box...
No complaints, but this little beast really likes to spin the tires in Sport mode.
The BFG's don't seem to have much grip due to the 405 hp & 430 torque in the Sport mode... on dry roads and especially on wet roads.
I have had to adjust my throttle application with this great little Raptor.
My...
I just picked up a 2026 Raptor last week. I was curious if the 2026 Raptor key fobs are the same as the prior Raptor key fobs?
I have not seen a Ranger Raptor key fob in person prior to my purchase, but I was shocked that it just said "Ford".
My Mustang and my Bronco don't just say "Ford".
I...
I ordered my GT350 in 2019, and I tracked the progress of the build. That was 7 years ago, and I forgot how the tracking progress started.
I ordered the Raptor one week ago.
I'm in no hurry, but I am wondering how the notification to future owners occurs now?
I recall entering my VIN from the...
I am planning on replacing my 11 year old full size Chevy pick-up truck for a Ranger Raptor.
I currently have a 2024 Bronco Badlands Sasquatch with the 2.7 L.
It has 330 hp/415 tq. and an axle gear ration of 4.7:1.
The thing is actually quite peppy on the throttle response and the torque stays...
Is there an Off Road event for those that purchase a new Raptor?
Ford offers a Bronco Off-Roadeo with the purchase of a new Bronco.
Ford also offered the Track Attack for the purchase of a new Shelby.
I am currently looking to replace an old pick up with a new Ranger Raptor.
The wife just told...
