On my 2025 Lariat FX4 (so far):
Redline Hood struts
Husky Hood protector
Walmart 4 12v outlet with USB for Radar Detector
BedRug, floor/tailgate rug/seal
OEM Spray in bedliner (Same as Line-X)
F150LED HUD (Great!)
LED rear turn signals CANBUS (LASFIT no hyperflash, no resistors)
LED Back up...
Jason: The 2025 US Rangers all the way to Lariat trim level has LED brake lights. The rear turn signals and back up lights are Halogen bulbs. I replaced the Halogen bulbs with LEDs. From what I have been told, the Ranger Raptors are all LED but I have not seen it myself.
Lariat trim level...
Depending on the manufacturer of the Tailgate LED light bar will make the difference between and easy install, just plug in the 4 pin connector or, if a signal isolator needs to be installed.
I would think in the scenario you described above that the sheet(s) of plywood would rest on the tailgate not the swing cases, so no additional weight would be placed on the Swing Case hinges.

A heat gun is your friend! My 3rd party installer told me the trick. Get a new GOOD T-40 and apply some heat to the bolt, they come out pretty easy that way. I also have a 47 year old manual hammer impact driver that also helps break them loose. Just little tricks of the trade, I've picked up...
I think that you can because they nest behind the wheel wells. When I get them installed I’ll put a tape measure to it.
The other option is to remove the Swing Cases, put them in the cab or leave them at home. The cases are very easy to remove. There are locking features that would slow down...
I had the Swing cases on my 19' Ranger and really liked them but, they stayed with my 19' when I traded it in. I got 39,XXX Ford points and just noticed that at Ford Parts.com, they are offering a 15% discount. Between my points and discount (04Nov25-28Nov25) I'm only paying $243.XX for 2...
I'm on my second RollNLock and my first Retrax. The Retrax was on my 04' F-150 XLT and I had zero issues in 126,000+ miles. Granted none are completely waterproof.
On my 19' Ranger and 25' Ranger the RollNLock have been lust as reliable and functional as the Retrax. Main difference between...
Take a look at these options: Home - The Easy Hitch Step - Access the RV or bed of the truck with the tailgate up or down, and leave the step in place.
From what I have read, the FX4 is 2WD until 4WD is selected. Mine also has the e-lock Diff, when needed.
The RR has All Wheel Drive where the "smart" drive picks and chooses how to distribute power to the wheels. Yes, the 2025 Ford Ranger Raptor is equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD). It...
Choice between Lariat FX4 and RR:
1st of all, around Nashville there were only 2-3 Lariat FX4 and zero Raptors. Yeah I could have had a dealer transfer but, in the end that would have cost me another $2k-5k more due to not getting the dealer hold backs.
2nd, AWD versus 4WD. AWD is going to...
I picked up my double black Lariat FX4 2.7l TT with just about every option the end of July. I could only find 2 Lariat FX4 around greater BNA at that time. only one had the 2.7l TT. Im loving mine, especially with the 2.7l TT. I've added a few goodies: HUD, Hood struts, Roll'N Lock bed cover...
I went with the Lasfit for the Amber Canbus on the turn signals and the Auxito for the backup bulbs with the 7443 base. The CANBUS bulbs take care of the hyperflash.
