The parts houses say that the headrests do not fit the 24/25 Ranger of any trim level

They fit, 100%. Perfect color match as well. The part companies use VINs to confirm part fitment. Since these are from a 2023, they will show a non-fitment on a 2025 VIN.

I have the black leather folding headrests. They fit my 2025 RR perfectly.

Thanks! I just use the tires if the tailgate is open and the bumper if it's closed.

Wow, thanks for posting this. I have a 2.7 Oxford White, Black appearance, Lariat slotted for a build week of Nov. 03. I had my eyes on the Ford Performance Method 703s and this just confirms that. Now I'm second guessing if I should have gone for the desert sand... This is super clean.

Do you think you could have run those tires/wheel combo without the lift? I want to replace the tires right away but I also want to hold off on buying suspension until Bilstein releases the 5100 kit.

Sorry for picture dump. but the Aussie land ARB Dual battery with dc-dc charger. diode dynamics dswitch for the aux switches and programability for different functions, diode c1r marker/brake/reverse cubes wired into the trailer plug/brake wire ran from the bcm as per ford body builder guide for the c1r and thr cap 3rd brake. Hopkins insight trailer brake controller(screen and spike/gain are remote mounts)

next on my list is a brush guard, some more diode dynamics lights, roofrack for truck with either platform or basket on the cap.

Where did you get them and part number would be great. I have the 2034 Lariat with ebony leather. Thanks

I don't think you can without some rubbing, but not 100% certain as I put the larger tires on after the leveling lift.

So gather the seat folds down way easier, and motivation for swapping out originals?

Two things actually, makes it faster to fold down seat and provides much better visibility when no passengers are in the truck. No need to remove the headrests in either scenario.

Awesome truck and I'm following your thread. I hope to buy a 2025 or 2026 Ranger Lariat 4x4 in desert sand color. I like many of the mods you made and may do the same.
