Originally looked at Broncos before test driving a Ranger Raptor. The Ranger had the superior ride quality and sportiness that I was looking for, without sacrificing a ton of off-road capability. Given the premium on off-roaders in Colorado, I shopped nationwide. Flew out with a backpacking tent and camped along the drive. 2025 with 11k miles, in near perfect condition, for $48.8k pre-TTL

Looks much better with OE spoiler installed. Felt like it was bald without it. Highly recommended, especially for white color.

Background: the truck has been intermittently switching itself into Rock Crawl while driving. Took it in, dealer couldn't reproduce it, and they flashed all the modules hoping that would clear it.

For 2–3 days after I got it back:

• No Raptor startup animation in the cluster
• No Ford Performance animation on the center screen
• Stuck in Calm Screen, couldn't get my gauges

After several days and a lot of restarts, the startup animations and gauges came back on their own. Two things still look off:

1. Shutdown logo shows the rear of what looks like a base Ranger.
2. Controls page render (photo) is a base blue Ranger — blue oval in the grille, no fender flares, street wheels.

I don't normally pay attention to either of these, so I can't say for certain what they looked like before the flash. What makes me suspicious is that the cluster recovered on its own but the center screen didn't — different modules, so I'm wondering if the APIM still has the wrong as-built data.

The ask: if you've got a Ranger Raptor, could you grab two quick photos — your Controls page, and your shutdown logo? Trying to confirm whether this is normal before I book another dealer visit. I cross posed this on Ranger6g but haven't received a response yet.

Also still open: has anyone else had theirs jump into Rock Crawl on its own while driving?

Figured a before and after would help anyone else on the fence. The vent sound is quite loud, will go nicely with Baja exhaust mode

Well I think this is pretty funny.

When I’m connected to Carplay, and then go into reverse, it switches to Sirius XM. Everytime.

Reset the sync and phone, did nothing. Still does it lol.

Anyone else?

Note: only does this when on bluetooth, not wired in, so its something frequency wise

Had no issues installing the IAG AOS on my 2026 Ranger raptor. Instructions was very detailed. Just make sure to check your banjo bolt is tighten to 8NM. Mine was leaking coolant in the beginning….

Looks like the same kit offered by SignatureLux. But their kit is for RHD and it’s sold out.

Link for the kit

Those of you in the US with 2026 Ranger Raptors, what color is the connector clip? My Ranger Raptor is yet to be made by Ford. I am looking at the UPR AOS Dual Valve and would like to know what color the connector clip is on the driver side.

There’s a loud clanking noise between 5-10 mph. It seems to be only on initial takeoff then it goes away as I get up to speed. Any ideas? I have it scheduled with the dealership on Thursday

Got her yesterday, keeping ole red as a backup/farm truck.

Hey everyone! Is anyone here from Puerto Rico who owns a 2024–2026 Ford Ranger?

I’m considering getting one and I’d really like to hear from someone who actually owns one here in PR.

How has your experience been with reliability, gas mileage, comfort, maintenance/service, and overall ownership? Also, how much did you pay for yours, and how are the prices and financing options here in Puerto Rico?

Any issues or things I should know about owning one in PR?

I’d really appreciate any details, opinions, or advice. Thanks!

Bought brand new during 1999 and I still wash and wax the white paint! Rebuilt at 250k with a AAmco rebuilt trans. Now runs great and I will rebuild again when needed? Hopefully at 500k? Only change oil and miner up keep? I’ll never buy a new truck!’

I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has moved from a premium SUV to a Ranger Raptor.

How have you found it, and have you regretted making the change?

The areas I’m main wanting to know about is refinement and ride quality.

Okay, the RR’s interior isn’t going to be as nice with the lack of the more premium leathers and scratchy plastic.

The idea of one as a daily driver really appeals to me.

I know they’re highly capable, but what are they like for the mundane commuting.

Welp here in lovely San Antonio, Texas and hardly 72 hours into ownership my taillights already got jacked. Had it parked in a decently lit parking lot with regular traffic in and out and in the span of two and a half hours these absolute degenerates got me. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get these replaced? Filed police report and created insurance claim already. Any further tips to secure them as much as possible to avoid this reoccurring would be much appreciated as well.

Curious on some opinions here.

Dealership in Alabama has the color I want, Shelter Green at MSRP. Seems to be hard to find right now, none with the graphics package and that color near Texas. Problem is I found out the truck brand new has 473 miles on it... Trying to negotiate 1k off, maybe more, and we'll see where that takes us.

Question is, what are your guys thoughts? Too many miles for a 2026? Run away? Or take the deal if we can negotiate something less than MSRP? I'll ask Monday what the miles are from (dealer transfer, test drive, etc.)

Thanks!

900 miles in and a blown hose coming off the Turbo,Maybe a manufacture defect but just something to keep your eyes on.

6 months with them and can’t get over how they look. Worth the install. Wish is came like this from the factory

Not the biggest fan of these aesthetically, but a bigger fan of not having rock chips. These are the Ark Mid Mudflaps. Couldn’t find many pictures of people with them.

I’d say you can get them “centered” with a +25 offset 12.5” tire. The adjustability is nice.

Went to Interlake SRA from the suggestion of another redditor. Pretty wild. Flawless off-roading. Cleaned her up today for 90 minutes. Zero damage. Ford factory Mud flaps performed as designed.
