Order getting built!

[HyperM3]

Very excited to be joining a new group of owners soon. Ive been driving sport(y) cars my entire life. Decided it was time for something different. Havent been able to stop watching every Range Raptor video I could find on Youtube(even in different languages) since I became obsessed. My local dealership gave me their one allocation for the year at 5k over and I took it. Got the order confirmation today that my RR is scheduled to be built week of March 25th(my birthday).

Of course I cant leave anything alone. So Im already looking at pre-modding it. Found a JB4 piggyback tune for it. A couple different intakes to choose from. Maybe exhaust. Definitely want to find a good bed cover but I know nothing about them. Also debating if I want to put more street friendly tires on it since I hear the K02 are scary in the wet.

For what it’s worth, I had a 2019 ranger, and the KO2s were great! I had a lot of traction issues in wet conditions with nitto

Take a look at Desert Assassins on Facebook. They are Fox shock / Ford Performance people who take Ranger Raptors 130 mph across the desert. Thats what Raptors are designed to do!! It’s absolutely amazing…. That’s why I would not change things much without a lot of research. Might lose a tremendous amount of performance. Peace.

Thanks for the heads up, I just subscribed to them. I generally do a ton of research on everything. Ive never seen an intake or tune "lose" a ton of performance. I like that this is a sports car that identifies as a truck(or vise versa). Its my first truck ever and Im hoping I dont hate it.

Sweet! I'm in the same boat as you and also live in the north east. I have owned a few performance sedans (M3s, CTS-Vs, S3s, RS3s) for the past 15 years.

What color Ranger Raptor you order? I was going to order Cactus Gray but owned 2 Nardo Gray RS3s and wanted to switch it up. So I went with Shelter Green.

I can't wait to not worry about potholes. Haha

Broooo, you get it! Im on my 15th year with some type of "S" model of Audi, and BMW before that. Im completely worn thin of watching out for potholes. I just want to run over everything now.

I ordered Velocity Blue. I also liked the Cactus but had a Quantum S4(almost Nardo) and the color is just played out now. I love my blues. I think the Shelter Green looks perfect on it also, great pick.

Thanks, actually, my first car was a 91 Mustang LX 5.0 Hatch lol. Life is coming full circle. Anything you can do about my dealership charging over MSRP??? You should put the kibosh on that.

Love cars as well and ordered a Ranger Raptor. Current cars, 20 Shelby GT500, 03 Cobra convertible, 02 Miata and a 13 300 SRT8. You may want to wait for the Ford performance Ranger Raptor tune. The Bronco Raptor tune is coming out 1st quarter of this year, the RR tune should follow.

1) Piggybacks are the least ideal way to tune any car. Sure, "cheap," but I wouldn't touch that. Plenty of UK & Aussie tuners that have cracked the 3L engine. Order from them
2) It has been proven that aftermarket intakes do nothing for performance. On any modern car. I'd opt for aluminum turbo & intercooler piping, along with a thicker intercooler, instead
3) Plenty of Aussie companies making quality bed covers. I'm sure they'll ship...but it might be pricey.
4) BFG's new K03 will debut on the Ranger Raptor. Many improvements vs. the K02 including silica content, construction, tread design, etc.

1) I dont know, Ive been using the JB4 on many cars since my 2007 BMW 335 and its a very easy and undetectable way to get good power without sacrificing warranty. That being said, I do prefer a full ECU tune when available.
2) Yes, but they sound sooooo much better
3) After much research, I think I like the Bak Revolver X4S
4) Yeah, Im hoping for some reviews coming out soon.

Care to weigh in on why people that ordered 8-9 months ago aren't even scheduled yet when we have people that ordered in December that have build dates already?
Identical trucks, no addons. Why such a huge difference and why not respect the customers that have had orders in for nearly ten times longer?
I'll give it a 2% chance of substantive response. Please surprise me.
