I thought about the flexing as well, but the frame is beefed up a lot from the standard Ranger, and the F150 Raptor has had a double moon roof for years. I can not find a moon roof on the Aus. site for any Ranger. Maybe they need to engineer that in on day one of the design, and the Aussies designed the Ranger to begin with.
Maybe impacts could damage the glass? Jumping and whatnot.

no moon roof because of flex.
I tried to order a Power Moonroof yesterday on my Lariat, which doesn’t have a build date yet, my dealer tried but the Ford order site said they aren’t available yet. No parts until Spring. Too bad, I’d like one but it’s not a deal breaker.

Anyone notice on the 2026 RR, the trailer wiring harness is shown next to the license plate and under the rear bumper in the render? Wondering if they did in fact move it up higher to avoid hitting it because that would definitely be a nice change. Just misleading from the render.

Was that just a Raptor thing before? Because my 2025 XL has the trailer plugs next to the license plate like in that pic.

Just a Raptor thing. If so, this sounds like a good improvement. I’m not holding my breath yet though, the renders have too many glitches so far.

correct late delivery, if they did try it would just be on production hold, no reason to do that. Ford will notify the dealers when they can accept orders.

I originally was going to order the Lariat with Chrome Package but decided not to - I liked the Chrome grille but the wheels were just too much. And now that the CP includes Chrome door and tailgate handles I'm happy I didn't get it. But.....I have to say I'm pretty happy about the new Chrome center bars on the standard Lariat grille. It's the only chrome on the whole truck and it now separates the identical looking XLT front end.

The XLT has the same double chrome on the grill according to the website, so they will still look the same!

Priced it out the exact same as my '25 Lariat. $2,000 more than mine!!
Also, you can add a powered moonroof now which you couldn't on the '24 and '25. That's literally the only thing I wished my '25 had. Uuugghhhhh.

The 2026 I built was $54 more than my truck, but accounting for inflation of 2% over the MY that's approx $2,200 difference in favor of the new truck. Considering the headlights and seat change I'm okay with that.

The real difference will also come in terms of the transaction prices for the 2026s.

2025 Ford Ranger Lariat
I second guessed myself too, but the rail marked left I installed on driver side and has to be correct cause the drain plug is sitting at the top of the bed. Same goes for the right (passenger side)
i wonder if mine has that ford emblem on the bulkhead? i have to try and remember to check later. i guess that is a tell if its a factory spray in liner or a dealer spray in

I guess depending on when you got your lariat, there is now a charge for the "pro" power on board
and phone charger warmer

and the color charge, unless you get white or black

but I think those price changes were made mid year so not necessarily and increase compared to 2025.5 pricing

And destination charges have gone up for 2026

and some of the options cost more but maybe they also went up in the middle of the year?

For any Ranger Tremor interest, Tim at Long-McArthur has a new video on that forthcoming truck. Looks like 2027. Tremor discussion starts at 44:30.

Nope it is indeed to much body flex on the Ranger, we were told that internally by Ford, so unless they redo something for the Raptor, I don't think you will see it, more so for 26ME
