Dream truck right there, I have a '02 Ranger with the FX4 package and she does pretty good off road. The Ranger Raptor looks like an entirely different beast. Hopefully can save enough to get one some day

watching Topher wash the Ranger was... Relaxing.

The benchmark of mid-size trucks! The only con I can find of this truck is the payload, but it’s not a deal breaker as it makes up for a great ride and handling balance. Man what else do you want? A truck that can get groceries, transport your tools and lumber for your workplace, cruise down the highway comfortably, hoon on the dunes, rock crawl if needed to, and do power slides on your daily commute 😆. I know there’s no vehicle that’s 💯perfect. But this is as close a vehicle especially a truck can get to being perfect. The size is also kinda perfect, not too long or wide. Kudos to Ford for the great achievement!

Just picked up my Ranger Raptor. I’m glad to see how many other people are happy with it. I’m not planning on running it as hard as I see others, but I do have some property in the country where this thing will get around nicely.

Just posted this on our usa ford ranger raptor facebook group, over 70k members. Love what you are doing!

The noodle sold me on the Ranger Raptor, love it. 😜 100% my next vehicle purchase.

I've had my Ranger Raptor since 2022 here in Australia. Driving it like a 4WD dirtbike and forward today nothing has broken-- well apart from a set of tyres.

I wish i was able to get a RR but i have no complaints with getting my 19 Raptor back. Still under 80k miles with 0 issues. I love all Raptors. If i was a millionaire id collect them lol.

Love this truck. I wish GM would put this kind of power in the Colorado ZR2.

As a ranger raptor owner, It actually has a trail turn assist but u to activate it by using a ford program on a computer to access the car software (i don't remember the name of the program) and unlock the trail turn assist

You’ve pretty much sold me on one of these. The power over the new Land Cruiser’s I4 and the Fox Live Valve shocks for a lesser price seems… like a no brainer!

I'm quite a fan of the facelift and remodeled Ranger!

[bryy]

I have a build date set for the week of Sept 30th. Please Ford, make me a nice tight truck. This is my first "enthusiast" vehicle that I'm purchasing and to be honest, I'm a little nervous. But I'm getting one towards the end of the model year so I'm hoping the factory has things ironed out. I picked shelter green and can't wait to see the color in person.

First person iv seen testing the blue with rapter graphics, exactly the one I want

[snowfreak]

This truck gets down I gotta have one lol I seen one last week on the road looks nice in person the way the fenders look from the back all of it the new front end looks mean

[GTurbski]

Pretty wild how far the raptor trucks have come. Makes the GEN1 F150 feel absolutely ancient.

A small issue with this truck is some of the fit & finish details that were straight up ignored. The plastic housing that hides the wiring behind the rearview mirror not being mated to the ceiling is very irritating. I also have interior door seal trim beginning to sag down from the roof. One last issue for me is, for some reason, the drivers side door pocket (the plastic compartment) seems to severely pick up bass from the stereo and will BUZZ pretty loudly... I took everything out of that pocket because I thought something was shaking inside but it was the actual plastic panel itself.

Aside from that the driving performance and everyday drive-ability of the truck is amazing. You are getting what you pay for. I simply wish some more attention was paid to some pretty obvious finishing issues.

Gosh dangit! I wish we had carwash facilities like that here in Hawaii!

[ZLEntertainment]

Ah, I see we got a bit of PowerWash Simulator at the end.

Great mid-size off-road truck. Too bad they don't have cooled seats. That's a minor, yet important, deal breaker for me. Chevy/GMC don't ride as well, but they do have cooled seats.
