2026 Ranger changes / upgrades / info?

[Onceaneagle]

It's a color. Very light gray/dirty white-ish

If you look carefully, embedded in that Avalanche paint are very tiny skiers being chomped by a very tiny Bigfoot.. Look at the 2024 F150 Avalanche paint online. More gray paint.

So, a Ranger Tremor edition is on your list, should it be in the cards?

I'm hoping for a Ranger Raptor in that color...or at least SOME rich color, such as dark forest green, black cherry or at least ANYTHING other than shades of gray!!
I'd love to see a RR wearing this paint!

Thanks for this information.
But when I click on View Details it takes me to Page not found screen. I think Ford isn't updating
their Search Inventory. When I go directly to Galpin's site no Desert Sand Rangers are found.

I live 10 mins away from Galpin and have a appointment with them next week. Hopefully I can still order a 2025 Ranger in the color and configuration I want.

I came very close to ordering Desert Sand, I really like it. But what pushed me to white was a trip to the dealer on a hot Summer day where I compared temperatures between a white Ranger and a DS Ranger, the difference was amazing. I forget the exact numbers but I posted them here somewhere, but I couldn't even keep my hand on the Desert Sand truck but no problem on the white one. Since the sand color was so light I didn't think it was going to make that much of a difference, but it does.

This matters to me a lot living in the Southwest desert, YMMV.

Consider XPEL ceramic window film. There is a noticeable difference in interior temp and cutting the UV. One of the first things I put on a new truck.

Yes I get that on all my vehicles. Part of the white paint choice though is the paint holds up longer in the desert and I tend to keep my vehicles for a long, long time. White is also the easiest when it comes to making invisible chip repairs and paint correction.

I have to remind my dealer not to tint my truck, they don't offer ceramic at all.

I so agree.
At the very least….give us one choice that has a pleasing, strong visual statement, something fun….there’s enough mundane primer looking choices for those that prefer those shades.

Don't need more gray tones or environmental hues. Plenty of those already, for owners who like them. We need some pizzazz colors that are as exciting as the vehicle is to drive. Some of the 2025 colors don't go well with the red interior accents, either, as my wife is quick to point I get to buy the truck but she picks the color. If no red, then it's going to be Velocity Blue. I have never owned anything but red trucks so this is going to be different.

That dark forest green would look great with the red accents!

I don’t know if you had considered used, since there was a Red RR in 2024 models.
I spotted this 5k mile example on auto trader tonight.
There was also one newly listed without pics stated with only 1k miles .

After the Avalanche color reveal, started looking online at used Red ones yesterday! I am comparing model differences between 2024 and 2025, as the pricing is close. The wife is not happy about used but at least 2024 are still under warranty and some have a dealer lifetime transferable powertrain protection plan. There is one in OKC @7000 miles that can be brought free to Wichita so I can see it. The airbag recall has not been fixed so I guess they have to take it to a Ford dealer and get that done before it can be sold.

Yea, if you really want a red one I would buy a red one, they are out there, some with very little miles almost new. If red is what makes you happy, that’s what I would buy. Why pay 50-60k for something you don’t really want. If they had quit making the RR in white for 25 I would have tracked down the nicest white 24 I could find. I am the same way with white, I only want a white truck.
Lots of other colors look nice, but I know what I like best and I pretty much always shop till I get what I want. I have bought different vehicles over the years from all over the country. Lots of transport options to get them delivered to my door. Done it many times. 3 of my current trucks came from over 1000 miles away and were delivered to my door. 2 were bought over 300 miles away and I drove and picked them up myself.

I own both a 24 and 25, their is very little difference.

The 25 lost the 12v outlet in the bed.

There is slight difference in a button on the steering wheel, I don’t think it a functional difference just labeling of the button.

Since you could not inspect some of those vehicles when you made the deal, what do you do if they showed up at your door with unacceptable imperfections or even some damage? Or were they new? With Carmax or at a dealer at least you can see and drive it.
