    Chrome trim on Raptor R?? Ford QC is a joke...

    Congrats, you own a 1 of 1!!! Bad enough it came off the line like that, I don't know how the dealer missed it too. I would assume they at least glanced at it before they delivered it to you.

    Anyone considering a Ranger Raptor?

    Yes, not a cheap truck for sure.

    2024 Raptor shock corrosion.

    That sucks. They must have really changed something in their finishing. My '20 shocks still look like new, and I live in an area of heavy winter salting!

    Anyone considering a Ranger Raptor?

    Yes, I mistakenly called it the launch edition, it's the Edition One, which was their limited launch model. Frame mounted cameras, beadlocks, a nice winch on a custom bumper, BD light bar, side rails with a nice bed cover, multi-matic shocks, head up display, custom interior, nice skids, really...

    Interior Passenger Rattles

    :happy175: It SUCKS to be like that! On my V70R wagon in search of a rattle, I completely pulled everything apart from the rear seat back, EVERYTHING! I still couldn't find it. Since the rear was now totally naked, I finally drove it with the rear hatch open to see if it would help find it and...

    Anyone considering a Ranger Raptor?

    A young friend got an ATX4 Launch Edition, VERY nice truck. Beautifull interior, it reminds me of a high-end boat interior.

    Trip out west and RA

    Nice pics, looks like a fun trip. I took an extra 5 days when I went out there. Great state. Where is the hole in the floor toilet from? I've never seen one in this country.

    Buying a boat bigger than I need (shocker) and looking for real world experience

    Yep, I forgot to mention to make sure you keep the brakes adjusted properly so they hit pretty quickly. Still makes me laugh picturing that big boat towering over my Voyager.

    Buying a boat bigger than I need (shocker) and looking for real world experience

    I think if you play around with placement of the boat and the axles to keep the tongue weight on the light side you will be fine. For several years I did the exact same as you are saying with a 25-foot Baja that was around 5500 lbs. I moved it back and forth a few flat miles from the lake to...

    Gen 3 seats in a Gen 2 fitment

    I'm not sure, but was wondering why you would do that? Did your original seats get wrecked?

    Ramblings of a long time Ram owner and now first time Raptor owner.

    I haven't had an issue with the Line X holding dirt. For overspray, look for the right shop. The guys that did mine prepped, papered, and taped everything that shouldn't be sprayed. They treated my truck like I had brought in a Bugatti. They were really great.

    Gen 3 windshield rock chips

    I wonder if this is just the luck of the draw? I went over 600K miles with my work vans and I never had a glass issue. Then I cracked 2 in a year. The first one I saw a decent size rock coming from the opposing traffic and it was all over. The second one was insane, 65 on a very widely divided 4...
