Thinking about taking my bed side Raptor stickers off my ā25 RR (Shelter Green). If they werenāt so big especially since the bed is only 5ā. Wish the stickers were 2/3 the size. No issue with the tailgate āRaptorā badge.
My theory is the thickness of the old trim piece was to catch the same horizontal line of the black window trim? Purely a visual element to align the windows to the bed. See the photo with the level resting on the bed rail trim of my ā25 RR
Itās probaby a solid piece of trim now without a void like the thicker trim found on the ā24-ā25. Likely a cost cutting improvement that just so happened to improve the design as well⦠especially for any aftermarket accessories.
One reason might be the older design (thicker) is susceptible to crushing under load (itās not a solid piece of plastic trim) and causing issues with aftermarket products mounting to the top of the bed rails⦠I have been looking into adding Yakima Overhaul HD bed rack system, but this rack...
Yeah, I canāt imagine anyone paying over sticker these days when itās been out for two model years. I negotiated a deal over the phone when I bought my ā25 RR a little over two months ago . Got my truck for more than $2k off. Even with taxes, tag, fees and a dealer lifetime power train...
Love this design! Both sizes are great but would prefer the smaller one. I just want to add a 32 oz. Nalgene water bottle pocket and small first aid kit back there. Iād be interested in purchasing two as well.
The Tremor is now a trim in all other NA models that offer the Tremor. It wouldnāt make any sense to do it differently just for the Ranger, especially if it only comes with the 2.7l engine. I think the gap since the last gen all but makes that a sure thing that it will also be a trim and not...
Go figure, less than a year of me buying my ā25 RR. The Tremor with the 2.7l 6 cylinder is what I wanted to replace my 2002 F-150 with from the start!!! Argh!!!
I guess Iāll trade my low mileage ā25 RR in 3 years and go with a refreshed Tremor then. Who knows, maybe by then Ford will come to...
I ordered RokBlokz mud flaps for my ā25 RR and I had them delivered in less than two weeks. My son and I installed them the week before Christmas and we had no issues. Did you order special color? Mine were black with black RB logo.
I might look into printing shims to fill the void on the bed rail trim pieces. Iām wanting to mount a Yakima Overhaul HD bed rack system.
The whole J-brace debacle is only half the problem with bed with a hollow trim piece on both bed rails. Talk about a shitty design!!! Why that trim piece...
So I really want this rack for my ā25 Ranger Raptor but donāt want to use the channels. So a huge static load weight reduction or itās a no go for the Overhaul HD? I read on another thread it had something to do with crushing the plastic rail caps? Iām really disappointed Yakima hasnāt...
Ha! I bought this truck in Belmont. Shout out the Keith Hawthorne Ford. For a smaller Ford dealer, they stock the best selection of Rangers in the Charlotte metro area. I live and work in the Steele Creek area (SW Charlotte).
Sounds like you ended up with the EXACT build I was looking for. I wish mine came with the spay-in liner and keypad. Iāll eventually be adding both. Saturday will be a month Iāve had mine and donāt even have 300 miles on it yet. I did order mudflaps from RokBlokz but havenāt had time to...
My first purchase for paint protection for my ā25 RR is RokBlokz mudflaps. They just came last week and waiting for the weather to get better before I install them over the Christmas holiday. Iām going to get a good ceramic coating and add PPF in selected areas likely to see the most...
I spoke to a rep of RTR at the Charlotte Autoshow a couple of weeks ago. They had a pretty big area set up with a couple Mustangs, two heavily modified Broncos and a bunch of their aftermarket wheels and parts.
I had just bought my ā25 Ranger Raptor the week before and had been considering a...
Heck even Yakima is sitting out on the new Rangerā¦. At the launch, the issue with bed rail strength/stability (J-braces required) still hasnāt been cleared to use their Overhaul HD bed rack. āNo Fittmentā if you select it as an accessory and the rep told me thatās still the case even though the...
Thinking about taking advantage of the 25% off Ford factory accessories. Anyone know how the Ford factory bed extender mounts to the rear of the bed? I have a ā25 Ranger Raptor without a bed liner and there are two tapped holes, but neither are near the center where you would expect the pivot...
No more waiting for a 6ā bed or for a Tremor trim⦠I really wanted a Tremor with a 2.7l and planned on a bed rack to carry kayaks and paddle boards since this 5ā bed is too short.
So in the end I figured this Raptor was a better move than starting with an FX4 with a 2.7l and have to build a...
