I'm now a 2025 Ranger Raptor owner

[jburl2]

Be aware it's for the 2024 model year, not specifically 2025. Not yet, anyway.

It may or may not be of the same quality as the other people are buying here. I found the illustrations a little underwhelming.

The binding was good, but mine showed up wrinkled a bit. Whichever print shop they're using has a very nice monochrome laser printer; but laser printer it is.

I needed it right then, so I didn't bother the seller about it.

Without this manual, you're driving a mystery machine. That much I will certify as true. I initially questioned whether this was the right one, as he lists the wrong number of pages, but it showed up with all 637.

Minus the slightly low-quality illustrations, which are good enough to use, it's as good as something Ford would have shipped with a motor vehicle.

I intend to order another to leave in the shrink wrap, and if that binding shows up with a wrinkle, I'll let the seller know.

I see the cover says Ranger. Does the manual cover the Ranger Raptor and all the info on it?

It seems to cover all Ranger models.

You'll find pages dedicated to the Raptor when things are different, as well as sections dedicated to other trims where applicable. It's laid out far better than the website and infotainment guides.

Always double-check with sellers, though. That way you can return something if it's not right.

You could have the PDF printed pretty much anywhere yourself in the same manner, but it's so long that the cost would be very high if you're only ordering one.

I want to emphasize that the manual is the size of an automotive manual. It'll fit in a glove box with plenty of room to spare, but it's big enough to read. The seller did a great job picking the size.

I would strongly suggest keeping it in the vehicle at all times.

This thing sure is fun and comfortable, but I've found I can't reach anything outside the window.

No more drive up ATMs, no more pushing the red button at Sonic, I'll now have to walk in to the pharmacy to get my medicine, and get out to use gate keypads ...

Fold those mirrors and use the 360 camera to snuggle up real close!

When she starts screaming in protest, you can hit the Offroad button to get quick access to disable the parking sensors.

You might also need one of these for milk shake procurement...

Break-in oil change complete at 648 miles.

I'll swap it out at 2,000 miles to get it on an even schedule and begin using Amsoil at that time.

I'm not getting an analysis done, as I forgot to ask them for a sample. I'll have to do that next time.

Tomorrow I'll try to remove the dealership decal on the tailgate. It's on there pretty good, but I've got a hair dryer around here somewhere. My heat gun is toast, and I wouldn't want to use it for that, anyway. It's too easy to make a mistake if one's mind wanders a bit.

I'm going to keep a camera monopod in the glove box to push buttons on gates and things.

Plastic razor blade/scraper to take the dealer sticker off.

That's what I'm going to do. I thought I'd be able to peel this right off without a hassle, but those buggers used the good stuff, and half of the letters are individually applied.

Man I got lucky and only had a pink license plate frame that I took off and threw away.

Leaving this crap on a car is like writing Payless on your Jordans.

Trust me, I hate dealer branding. I take it off every vehicle I buy. I didn’t give them all that money to be a rolling billboard.
