The RR is probably not a bad choice for fleet use.
Mileage is not great, but power is top level.
That 48"'s between the wheel wells is a class exclusive and can be pretty handy for various work task.
I considered them over the 3 Lariats I bought last year.
Main advantage from a pure fleet...
Long McArthur 2027 model video came out today.
āInvoice pricing on all Ranger orders including Ranger Raptor.
āThey say order banks are now open for 2027 models.
Still a bit disappointed in the continued the de-contenting again this year.
Especially the loss of leather even on the Raptor now.
āI think I read GM dropped leather in all their trucks too.
Very curious why these companies are dropping leather even on the most premium trims?
Yea, was told they didnāt not replace any parts or hardware. So the longer bolts were what was in the seat.
The bolts were crazy tight, and they didnāt use any lock tight.
Which lock-tight was provided with kit and was recommended..
Put my seat risers back in after my Ford Dealer tech didnāt know why they were there and to remove them while doing a recall ,a recall that I knew nothing about, this was done when they had it in the shop for an oil change and I wanted adjustments made to the hood to make it stop shaking in the...
Size , performance, appearance, really love the look of the Ranger far and above the look of any other midsize on the market.
I really hate the looks of some of the GMCs and Toyota Tacomas .
The 48ā bed spacing between the wheel wells was a game changer for me and largely why I was able to...
I suspect after digging through the paperwork tonight they were jacking around with my seat over some silly recall. There was nothing loose or broke on my seat.
Still no excuse for removing any installed customer modifications especially without asking, and without even notifying the customer...
Got my hood fixed on my 25ā, the service department originally jacked with stops and said it looked good them. Lol I insisted they let the body shop have it a set the panel gaps and get the hood fitted correctly.
I had it up to 75mph trying to get shake or bounce, I think the dealer body shop...
Guessing 4cly Ranger?
I have 3 2.7 v6 Lariats and have owned 3 Ranger Raptors, now just the 1 Ranger Raptor, itās rare for one of the 2..7L trucks to bust 20 mpg , I think 22 was an all time best with 2.7 Lariat v6 trucks . Which was trying by keeping speeds under 70mph and minimal wind that...
Made it home last night with the Rebel.
All went pretty well. Got home around midnight from the trip.
Loving having a V8 back in the stable.
Took a few better pics this morning.
Intersting note:
2024 Ranger Raptor on the trip down.
4 ply 33" tires, no more rack or toolbox on the...
I love that power slider.
I use it every time it's nice outside and I am driving with the window down.
I put the driver window down, and you get all the buffering wind, but hit the button and open the rear slider that wind buffering all but stops and the equalization creates a nice, controlled...
My v8 truck arrived at the dealer today.
Ordered 9-10-2026 arrived at my dealer today 10-10-2026 exactly month to the day . Impressed !
Come hell or high water I was dead set on getting a v8 truck back in the stable this year.
Still a little sad the V8 Godzilla Ranger Raptor didnāt work out.
I...
Very nice. š
I had been curious what that Bronco particular Bronco wheel would like on a Ranger.
āLooks really good on there.
āBronco just gets the best looking wheel designs.
I have ran Bronco rims on pretty much all of my Rangers .
Here is a little History on that subject, least best of my knowledge on how it went.
2019 - 2022 You could still get a Hemi V8 without E-torque & Start/Stop.
2023 they dropped the Non-E-torque option and all became E-torque models if equipted with a
V8 in 2023-2024. Then in 2025 The V8 was...
No, still getting a v8 truck one way or another. Come hell or high water there is going to be at least 1 v8 truck back in my stable . Probably if all goes well it should be here before the end if this month,
I am actually getting ready to part with another of the two RRs I stillI have.
Just...
Interesting, I still think GM would be better off to offer something besides just that 4 banger in the Colorado.
I know the F150 and now it seems the Bronco has dropped the 2.7 v6 and replaced it with the 3.0L for 2027.
That recent announced Bronco change has me really curious as to rather...
On Subject of V8 Rangers.
I didn't recall this V8 Ford prototype from 25 years ago. Very cool video showed up in my feed this morning. Thought I would share it here.
Interesting!
Probably so.
I personally would still rather have the normal aspirated pushrod Godzilla over the Predator.
Still very cool build. I bet it really moves with that Predator V8 under the hood.
Also, Like wise. That rumored V8 SRT Dakota is absolutely on my wish list too.
I am...
