2025 Ford Raptor R Review

[HTXRapt0r]

So now I have to go check the console carefully

The key fobs really bugged me. First world problem for sure, but still. I picked up 2024 key fobs and used the Raptor key backs as I haven't found a source for just the key backs.
Also:
- Raptor decal is gone from the supercharger (anyone have the part number?)
- Running boards now say Ford. I've heard these are shared w/ Tremor. I haven't compared the 'pattern' of the cutouts to see how different they are from '24 Raptor.
- Buttons above the Sync screen - just a dumb layout after moving/eliminating some of the buttons.
- No Box-Link at all
- The HUD is cool, but I haven't figured out how to get it to keep the settings (brightness/position)
- Of course the keypad is gone. I have the DIO keypad and it looks terrible. Still in the box on my desk.

I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones I've noticed in my first week of ownership. Sad that after purchasing such a beast these cost cutting changes keep being found/distract from the overall experience.

Where did you get the used 24 keys? My salesman said he’d talk to his manager about getting me some Raptor keys but if that doesn’t lead anywhere I may do the same

No headrest speakers. Keypad. Etc. Ford seems to have a constant habit of giveth and taketh away from year to year. Is the gear selector still backlit? Ford has toyed with that in the past.
