Having owned a Tacoma and Tundra, both offered in the TRD Pro livery in the US, I oft wondered if Ford would sell the Ranger Raptor here also. Heres an article on a German Tune for the RR... https://apple.news/ALWH2JfE3QIK8Mp1p2EWpng V/R Smokey

Yessir. Less road noise and no traction degradation was my goal. I tried three different AT tires on my Tacoma, the best overall was my current GY ATs mentioned above which have a less aggressive but very utilitarian tread and Kevlar sidewalls. The G2s look similar as do the Cooper AT3. Still...

Congrats and welcome! I still have my 2013 Tacoma I bought new in Tampa when I lived there. It just passed 130K and is going strong. However comma, I married a Texan so it was inevitable we would move back to the Lone Star State. She bought my 2018 802A for our anniversary as she said "it...

Yessir, just recently rode 5hrs in my stepsons new Rebel, (OEM Duratracs) very noticeable road noise increase over my Raptors K02's. Again my Kevlar GY All Terrain Adventure on my Tacoma (265/70R16) win with lower noise, great handling and off road comparison with those two aforementioned hands...

Thanks Nassty, will be awhile before I have to decide. Sure wish Good Year made the All Terrain Adventure Kevlar in this size, awesome tire! :)

Was just at my local Discount Tire getting my Trusty Tacoma's GY All Terrain Adventure Kevlar R&B. I mentioned my wife had bought "us" a Raptor (more like her:)) and I was interested in a purchase warranty for the already installed K02's. The associate smiled, said they had a plan for $170 that...

Thanks to both y'all for YOUR service too...:) *There I was, 3AM over downtown Fallujah with my wingman, trying to escort 2 HH-60 Dustoffs to a clearing in a neighborhood to pickup some WIAs. My wingman commented later, "man those Helo dudes have some BIG brass ones" Yup they do... V/R Smokey

Thanks!

Thanks to all y'all for posting valuable data and feedback. One of my few gripes with this Bad-A** Truck is the OEM lighting. Im looking for an SAE DRL/Fog Light I can run all the time instead of the lame OEM Headlight DRL. After a lot of Cranial banging I've narrowed it down to the Rigid SAE...

Guys, Newbie tech question on factory lighting. Pardon my ignorance but... Smurfslayer and others have used software to change their DRLs from the upper headlights to the parking lights. So... One of my very few gripes with this A**Kicking Truck is the lighting. Why? 1. Don't like parking...

Yessir, nicely done. Really like that Stealth front bumper.. Im more in the $179 Amazon Napier truck bed tent and 93 octane performance enhancer! Somebody's gotta do it! V/R Smokey Budget over landing...:)

The amount of dust/mud on my Raptor (with 12 miles of dirt/mud road on my DD) is directly proportional to the amount of rainfall we've had. Off road today getting to and from home- check Grocery getter-check Happy Wife-check Smile on my face every time I drive it-check :)

Having lived in and traveled a lot in West Tejas, Ford Trucks (especially F250's) are king. Raptors are several notches up the food chain... My wife (Espoza Loco) refuses to drive her own car now and wants me to chauffeur her everywhere in "The Beast!" More room, comfort, quiet, speed power and...

"Sir your new paint color is not orange, we call it burnt bronze opaque cauliflower metallic!" :)

Yeah I lived in VA for 3 years and more than once found nasty grams in my mailbox from the state trying to Tax something I didn't own anymore. Taxation without representation? Hmmm Amazingly in the Lone Star State where I now reside Military tags are free as was my first two years of...

Fully Agree. Would not change a thing. I see mine alongside my long time Tacoma in the garage and think "dang, I couldn't have picked a better perfect vehicle"! BTW, one of these passed me in Houston last week...

Feeling Tired...:) I literally read your post in the waiting room at Discount Tire while my Tacoma has its 5K R&B! (and roofing nail removal). Strange enough a White Gen 2 blew by me on the Interstate enroute! (I was going 85!) I took your post and showed it to the guys there who despite...

Great daily/long haul driver so far and the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven, hands down. 17-20 MPG below 80, if you can do that... Yesterday's "daily drive" proved its total bang for buck value: Grandkids both with AirPods in, one plugged into front Apple CarPlay and groceries in...

They have an annual "Red Necks with Paychecks" event near here every year with a deep bog, seen lots of Rocket Scientists destroy some nice trucks. Not fun IMHO... Discretion the better part of valor on that one.... Baja maybe...:)

Agree, I had a similar experience. When the low fuel light came on for that first tank of "dealer gas" I filled up with 93, problem solved, big time! :) V/R Smokey

600K miles on three Toyota Trucks were a great proving ground to find Tire likes and dislikes. My all time go-to tire is the GY All Terrain Adventure with Kevlar I have on my Tacoma although they don't make the Raptors size, yet. Not nearly as noisy as the DTs or KO2"s and tough sidewalls...

Question to 4X4 LED: Do these hybrid versions work on an 18’ Raptor? http://www.4x4truckleds.com/morimoto-xb-hybrid-led-headlights-for-2018-ford-f150/ I like the OEM 2 Headlight look but brighter Amber DRL. V/R Smokey

Look forward to having another fellow Veteran brother/Raptor driver in the Lone Star State! V/R Smokey ALANG Iraq 2003 (I'm sitting on the wing) :)
