my RR (built 03/24) has:
1. Door issues where my passenger and driver door won’t close properly. Factory fit issue. Ford dealer tried to correct it, even a body shop did but could not resolve. The door has to be slammed like an 83 Corolla with no fix in sight. Fords response was: ??‍♂️
2. The...
I’m also coming from a Bronco and F150 Tremor.
Compared to a Bronco the steering on the RR feels heavy. It feels very sports car. At high speeds Sport is appreciated for precise baja running but otherwise Comfort is what I run for everyday driving. I do think Comfort should be “normal” and...
My Raptors being shipped. ETA is end of April but wouldn’t be surprised if it shows up sooner. Not sure if it’s on the same rail will have to follow up with my dealer.
I tried that Eibach Kit on my Bronco and would say that would be a major downgrade from the stock Fox 2.5 Live Shocks.
Maybe try Perch collars? I'm sure there will be a solid lift available soon.
I ran those Yoko X-ATs on my Bronco. Really great tire overall with one caveat which was they were slippery on wet tarmac and would hydroplane and spinout from a stop. Off-road they performed great for an ATX.
I live in the PNW so had to switch them out but if you're in a drier area I think...
Yeah it's physics and aerodynamics really making it more of a dog.
M3 curb weight: 3890 pounds
Raptor Curb Weight: 5350 pounds
Glad you're enjoying it though! Can't wait to take delivery on mine. If it's a dog its a wild one!
I had a lariat on order but did the same move as you when I found a RR order that a guy backed out on.
Also Oxford. Going to keep the graphics though I think they break up the white truck nicely.
I talked to a few aussies about this who have their trucks.
The stock wheel is 17x8.5 +55
At +25 it will give you just under an inch of poke. +35 would be about flush with fenders depending on wheel width.
For tires a 35” will work on the back stock but will rub on the front fenders at full...
Some progress today!
Raptor entered production and got my window sticker.
Will track how long it takes to delivery but I’m expecting late April maybe.
Thanks and I agree. I want to keep the offset change minimal so the wheels are flush with fenders but I think +35 would be just flush and +25 would be slight poke. Hard to say without proper measurements.
Be interesting to see peoples aftermarket wheel choices.
It’s not built yet but who knows. Ford seems to be making progress finally. I’m thinking late May if it gets scheduled next week.
After going through the Bronco ordering banks this is a walk in the park. Try waiting 2-3 years.
