New Ranger Raptor

[Grabber]

After 2years and ordering 2 that were delivered with issues and looking at least another 10 with quality issues / shipping damage or dealer not dealing, I am proud to take delivery of a 2025 Ranger Raptor in Marsh Gray that was sitting on a dealer lot. Really wanted shelter green, but this color is growing on me and will probable be a little easier to keep clean.

Marsh is better, shelter is most of the ones I see! Congrats.

Marsh Gray looks GREAT on that truck. I love Shelter Green, but this is right up there.

Nice looking Truck !
‘Congrats !

Personally I like the looks of Marsh grey over Shelter Green.

Having grown up Farming and Ranching, I have never quite been able to get over how much Shelter green reminds me of common sights seen around the cattle pens. Lol

I think pretty much all RRs look great, I just can’t get that one memory out of my mind when I see Shelter green. lol

I really do like green, more so the hunter green, John Deere green, and others.

Congrats, you got the best color and my twin truck. No doubt that you're going to love it. I too bought mine off the lot, albeit the day it arrived. Timing is everything.

Welcome to the Marsh Club! Like you, I bought mine off the lot as well. At the time, like you, there were other colors I would have preferred, but after half a year now, I really happy with it.

What were the quality issues you were finding? I'm curious to look and see if I have overlooked any of them on mine.

Congrats on the truck!

Congrats. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have mine. Great truck!!

Sorry you had so much trouble acquiring one, though.

There are weld seam issues on the passenger side below the back window glass. Sometimes its smooth other times it not. Interior side of the door the factory does not get enough paint on the door post around the glass on the inside. Driver door panel when playing music rattles on some. Sometime the doors are hard to close and on other Ranger it will be fine. My first Ranger Raptor had bad a bad weld seam below the back glass on the cab and paint was very thin around the window door post on the inside like the ran out of paint. My second one was better but had a rattling door panel and doors are harder to close. The third one I'am looking at is better then the other two as far as quality goes. But I still love the Ranger Raptor it is my favorite Truck ever perfect in size and feel. They just need to make a Red colored one then I would be happy.

Thank you everyone!

As far as what I have seen with issues,

the first one I ordered, I totally blamed Ford. Four large fish eyes in the paint (they looked like a wart). Rear tailight paint chip right above the tail light (Mainly seen on driver's side but I have seen one on passenger side. It is important that you have them adust the tail light if it is even touching the paint as it will cause it later. Driver's fender crooked (can be adjusted easily). The one I bought, the tail lights are in perfect with even gaps all the way around.

the second one I orderd came through with shipping damage (Im asuming) and QC issues - on edge of hood by wiper arm had been grinded down to the metal. Had huge paint chip down to primer above driver's side rear tail light. Also the rear seat cover would need to be replaced as someone placed it in the up position with the front license plate bracket smashed between it, damaging the seat cover.

In general you really need to look over for paint issues anywhere on the truck, from pour coverage to paint defects.

Body panel alignment, hood front fenders are the worst (I have really not seen this problem on '25 models), however I have seen doors/tailgate out of alignment. Good part on this is most of these can easily be fixed by adjusting.

Shipping damage(I'm assuming), a huge problem in my opinion. Again you just have to look over your truck very carefully (Both inside and out). Make sure you take the time to look over before signing anything. The dealer let me take the truck by myself for a test drive, which I drove it around a bit and then found a parking lot to pull over and took my time looking over the entire truck. Also, take your time and go through all the systems to make sure they work. Driver the truck with the windows up/down checking for rattles / odd noises / wind noise.

Congratulations, I personally believe the marsh gray is way better than shelter green.

My Marsh Grey before sticker removal. I looked at the marsh grey wasn't sure about the color. So I took a white one for a test drive. When I came back to dealership I was sold. But the Marsh Grey had grown on me.

What were some of the issues you found with the previous ones you looked at? You can PM me if you prefer not to say publicly. I'm looking for one in another month to two.
