Tint and bedcover as well as ceramic are on my list. Looks like legal tint(smart). What bedcover did you go with. Like the wheels but will keep mine stock. Also curious why remove the Running boards?Ordered 5/26. Shows shipped on tracker. Expected delivery on 4/7. It came in last Thursday night the 21st. Got it Friday, rushed to get wheels, tint, bedcover, running boards removed before the weekend. The tracker still shows in being shipped.
My personal preference. Not right/wrong, just what I like.
I am also curious on the same thing. the dealer i ordered from I have recently heard they are terrible at adding on extra charges. Any help or info on this would be great to a few individuals
I haven’t received my truck, but I have my order sheet @MSRP signed by myself, the sales rep and the GM of the dealership. They don’t do add-ons at this dealership. It’s a Small town dealership, that we’ve been dealing with for over 35 years. I requested that they don’t take any plastics off the truck and do not wash it. No joy rides of any sort, Only do the Ford required PDI drive, visual inspection and leave my truck alone. That was agreed too by all parties.
Truck looks good, going full ceramic tint with mine too, don't know about strip on windshield, hadn't really thought about it but was planning on doing 50% on full windshield. Bought black truck and plan on keeping for at least ten years so also trying to figure out if I want to drop the money to PPF the front. Not cheap but have heard very good things, curious if anyone else is doing this or has experience with it.My personal preference. Not right/wrong, just what I like.
Bedcover: RoughCountry hard trifold.
Tint: Autobahn Films Ceramic i3. Front windshield 70, Front Strip 5, Front side 15, Rear/Back 15 over top factory.
It’s dark, but clarity and heat resistance is best I’ve used.
Wheels: Can’t roll factory. I wanted to stay similar weight as factory but increase the width to 9” as to flatten out the rounded tire/reduce sidewall bulge & an offset that was flush with my mud flaps. Truck handles much better with reduced body roll and the stance now is more comparable to other Raptor siblings.
Steps: 33” tire, the truck is not very high. They’re tucked up to much so if used as intended you have to bend back down to get in. Easier to step out, again the truck sits low, you can just step out but with the running boards your ankle/calf scrapes down them unless you jump out or stand up outta the truck then step back down to get out.
If you’ve ever had a Raptor or Tremor with those boards, getting them clean is tough. They’re very rough textured (so as not to slip) but you pressure wash & a stiff brush for 30 minutes to clean. Also weight savings. It’s a performance vehicle. The weight of removing the boards offset the bedcover and then some.
But mainly I think it looks much cleaner without the boards. I took them off my f150 raptor and Braptors, both on 37’s and my 5’5 wife & daughter has no problem getting in/out.
Here’s before & after

White with chrome! Cant go wrong. Just like my 2022 F-150. Call me crazy but I wish my white Ranger Raptor came with a chrome option!Got my Ranger Lariat yesterday. It actually arrived at the dealership on Thursday. Looks and drives great!
Congrats, it looks awesome! That’s my color (hopefully soon).It finally happened!!!! I never thought I'd see the day, but it finally arrived! Too bad I picked it up on a wet day, it was already dirty by the time I got it home.
A few thoughts:
Cactus Gray is THE color to have. It looks so good in person!
I love it SO much better in person than I thought I would! Pictures don't do it justice, everything looks better, and materials feel much higher quality than I thought they would. I can't overstate how huge of an upgrade this is over the 5G Ranger Lariat I had.
It rides like a dream! The loud Ford chimes are a bit annoying, and the screen, especially going into off-road mode, can be disappointingly laggy. When I hit the off-road button, the front camera pops right up, but the bottom half of the screen with tire pressure and lockers takes several seconds to show up. I checked for update, but no new updates to be had.
Overall, I'm impressed and I'm really happy I stuck all the waiting out for it. I wouldn't want to wait that long for a vehicle ever again, but this one was worth it!
