This is definitely likely. If not more.A $2500 price bump on Raptor is all I am expecting.

This is my expectation as well. For the 2025 model the most we are likely to see is a few color changes.I wouldnt expect ventilated seats till mid point refresh. They just hit expect build throughput of the current ranger, so you are at least looking at 26 but probably 27 before it comes is my opinion.
If you have the raptor call Katskins and let them use your truck to use as testbed, they have cooled seats.I find it very irritating that if you want a truck with cooled seats the only ones available are the F series trucks. I have MS and am heat intolerant. When I get hot my thinking goes away, just what you want behind the wheel. I have to start my car several minutes before I get in to have it not affect me much. The cooled seats would be a huge increase in this disabled person being able to enjoy life and feel better about driving a $50k truck. As it is I have to get after market electric running boards so I can get into the truck. The Maverick is too small, so getting in and out is a chore.
There, literally, isn't a truck out there that I can drive off the lot and not have to modify with options available on other models.
yep, probably 6-900 dollars if not more on the restA $2500 price bump on Raptor is all I am expecting.
Thank you - where I am located, shouldn’t get more than sustained tropical storm force winds.Stay safe down there in Florida....good luck with Milton
Tell me moreIf you have the raptor call Katskins and let them use your truck to use as testbed, they have cooled seats.
So Katskins basically installs leather seats, like the take the seat out and do it up like an upholster would (they remove factory and add their own) , but they also can add heating and cooling that is controlled by a switch they add to the side of the seat, they already have the other tier 24 rangers , but not the raptor and I am guessing, probably because no one will let them take off the factory seat leathers to add aftermarket, so call and see if they would give it a go.Tell me more
They would also probably have to remove the factory heating element as well. Not sure thoTell me more

Because I can't get into an F-150 and I don't want a used truck. Believe me I wish I could get into the F-150. Loved my last three, but had to sell my last one when I started having problems getting into it.If your disability is that bad, why buy a vehicle without to begin with? You can get a 2023 f150 lariat with cooled seats for cheaper then this truck. I'm not arguing that they shouldnt be there, but the priority to chose a vehicle that could not cater to your health needs seems off.
I know you dont want to hear it my dude, but maybe its time to put up the truck life then. At the end of the day you are gonna do you. Your life, your money (theres a far right republican joke to be made here).Because I can't get into an F-150 and I don't want a used truck. Believe me I wish I could get into the F-150.

I can't lift my legs up high enough to step on the running boards, so I would need to replace the front seat with one that comes out and will lift me into the truck. The $1000 Ford provides to modify the vehicle wouldn't come close to the ~$13k to add the transition chair. If I would even qualify for the $1k for that. If I bought, an F-150 with the electric running boards, I can't raise my legs high enough to step on them.
I will have to get electric running boards added to the Ranger so I can get into it because they come down lower than the standard running boards.
Katzkin actually does really nice work. Nicer than a lot of factory options from what I've seen. They use real leather made from real cows.
Interesting thought. I’ll look into it.If you have the raptor call Katskins and let them use your truck to use as testbed, they have cooled seats.
Thank you for your assessment of my physical capabilities. I’ll put it exactly where it belongs.I know you dont want to hear it my dude, but maybe its time to put up the truck life then.

I believe I saw Oct. 15 as date to start ordering a 2025First off..thanks for any and all replies. Wondering when information or ordering will open up for the 2025 Ranger...just ordered a 2024 Ranger Lariat Hot Pepper Red, arriving around Christmas time. I may cancel the order for a 2025 Ranger if there is a new/better Red colour and if it came with a HUD. A 60/40 split back seat is probably too much to ask for...wishful thinking I guess!
Any and all info is much apprecaited.
