Got a 2025 Ranger Raptor yesterday coming from a Mustang... whoa

Same here, first truck and it is a good one! Also, it makes considerably more power than either of its competitors (Colorado and Tacoma). How much that really matters off-road is debatable as chassis / diriving is more important, but it's NICE to have for on-road use where you can put the power down for on-ramps or passing slower vehicles.

The truck isn't a dog like the 2nd / 3rd gen Taco's that were so freaking slow even with the V6's people said that you would almost never try to pass anyone.

I think i found my answer online. A Ford Performance dealer services or sells Roush F150's. Per Roush's locator link:
https://www.roushperformance.com/pages/vehicle-dealer-search

From the Ford Performance site. If you select a part to be picked up from a dealer, it shows you the available dealers. This may not be an exact science as I believe others have used their local dealer, but that list is per the Ford Performance site.

Interesting. It looks like Interstate Ford is the only one on both lists, so that may be the place to go. ??‍

Well I just came from a Mustang GT myself. But a 24. Moving to RI and figured I wanted a more capable vehicle for the weather there. Sucks as I had to say goodbye to a 16 Mustang GT when I didn’t want to either. But while I didn’t get a RR I got a 25 XLT 4x4 with tow and black appearance packaged and I’m really enjoying it. Plus it gets better MPG around town for sure so that’s a plus too.

Holy cow man, are you peeling away from every stop at full throttle? That's wildly low, even for a RR.

I'm a hooligan douche in traffic, and I crank it in baja offroad and my lifetime average is still 14.8.

I'm barely on the gas man lol. There are just that many lights in our part of town. That being said, I'm only at 200 miles on the car and it's been on a stretch of uninterrupted road longer than half a mile exactly one time

Seems so common for RR drivers to have come from a Mustang or WRX or something similar. I've had both myself. Last few cars were a 2015 Mustang GT Premium PP (had a Corsa catback on mine), then a 2019 Tacoma TRD Pro (and for the record, I always thought the Pro was 'fine' but I never loved it. I would call it very reliable but also underwhelming with issues that the entire customer base just accepts...like if you go and play paintball and you rent a gun they always give you a tippmann and they always work and you know what to expect but they aren't great or interesting to use...thats a Tacoma) and now the RR.

I am really enjoying the RR but I do still miss winding out the 5.0 and the exhaust note and the manual transmission. There is probably a good chance I end up with either a GT350 or a C8 corvette as a second vehicle in a couple years.
