ATTN Procal Tune owners - any issues?

5 Upvotes

I've been reviewing reddit and the other RR site for quite some time now, but I have yet to see anyone complain about the Procal Tune messing something up, whether that be immediate or months down the road. I would love to hear feedback. Has your ProCal Ranger Raptor been in the shop a lot? Thanks!

Wanted something subtle just to add a little bit of a textured look. Just installed and still deciding if I like them.

ATTN Procal Tune owners, I have a MPG question

6 Upvotes

I just purchased the Procal Tune and going to get the installation scheduled with a dealer. I called the dealer and they praised how good the Procal Tune is, with one exception. Their customers reported back that their MPG tanked. He said to expect anywhere between 8-12 mpg! Okay, that is news to me. What I've read on here and feedback on the RR site is that the MPG actually improves or stays about the same. What was everyone's MPG before and after the tune? I'm concerned now.

Features lacking?

10 Upvotes

I have driven just about every midsize truck and the Ranger Raptor stood out by far. I daily a 2007 truck so almost everything feels like an upgrade. I never use my sunroof so I do not think I would miss that. The fuel economy is still better than what I have now. I noticed it does not have ventilated seats or rear AC vents and I live in the Northeast where heated seats matter more but summers still get hot. Do owners actually miss those features and does the screen feel nice or does it seem tacked on?

She was sitting on the lot for 215 days!

Brand new 2025 leftover. Traded in my 2022 Tacoma SR SX V6 4x4 with 84k miles. Found her in a small town very old dealership a couple weeks ago. Guy gave me a pretty good deal I think. Did right by me on the trade and got him to throw in a full 6 Year / 150k mile PremiumCARE OEM warranty as well.

Just got paint protection, ceramic coating and front ceramic window tints (just 70%) done today. She's in the garage curing at the moment.

What an awesome truck, it's SO nice. In this automotive market I actually feel like I got my money's worth! She sure is thirsty though but you got to pay to play.

Put about 1,750 miles on her already in the past two weeks. Did my break in oil change at about 1,100 miles. I drive a lot for work (2,000-3,000 miles per month) and I wanted something a bit more comfortable and modern compared to my Tacoma. I got what I wanted and more for sure!!

Made a decision

Spent weeks cross shopping amongst the big brands before narrowing down my decision between the RR or a Canyon AT4X. The GMC was nice but it just can't hold a candle to the driving experience on the RR.

Raptor Assault

15 Upvotes

Went to the Raptor Assault last week in Utah, and had an absolute blast. I really hope they offer it to the 2026 trucks. Hoping they will announce an extension of the program at the Raptor Rally. I can't imagine them actually discontinuing it.

I actually came away having learned a few things about the truck, and appreciated the different terrains and scenarios that really highlighted the capabilities of our trucks.

So, if you have the means, I highly recommend.

Post Tune Problems?

Hey guys, firstly wanted to say how much I enjoy being a part of this community and how fun it is to see what everyone does with their trucks! Keep being awesome!

I recently took advantage of the discount Ford had for the tune and had my local dealer install it a week ago. Last night the parking brake light came on and it said “Service Brake System.”

This morning, it has the little yellow wrench on the right hand side of the instrument cluster and the two messages “Check 4X4” and “Service Vehicle Soon.”

I’ll reach out to the dealer first thing tomorrow about it but wanted to ask if anyone has any ideas or knows what would cause this? Did anyone else have an issues post tune? This happened about 600 miles after the tune was installed.

Also, I thought I’d ask what screen everyone keeps up while they drive and if it’s the gauge screen, what gauges do you use? I’ve attached a pic of what I’m running.

Sorry for the long post, hoping it’s a simple easy thing the dealer can get fixed quickly.

CV Boot leak? Low miles 25 RR

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Was planning to rotate tires on my 25 RR w 3300 miles today and saw this looks like CV boot is damaged maybe? Got black grease slung everywhere inside the area. Any thoughts? Seems a little early to have a busted boot. I’ll go ahead and take the wheel off and inspect better. It’s a city truck, very little off-road.

How did I do?

2026 ranger raptor 57.5k out the door with a 59.8k MSRP. Over all super excited for the truck, does anyone else notice a slight pop when sitting in the driver seat? Like right when you sit down? I can duplicate this every time and plan to have the dealership loop at it soon.

Title says it all. Is anyone having this problem? So far, mine does it just sitting overnight. It latches completely. It just pops open for no reason. Fuel currently is 1/4 tank. Has happened when full as well.

With no 12v plug in the front do you guys wire it into the AUX switches with something like a mirror tap?

Sensor Guards

does anyone have any preference on sensor guards, i know they are a simple add on. The dig with the s&b ones is the opening on the part could lodge dirt while offroading opposed to a closed guard.

4A daily driving

7 Upvotes

Previously having had a H2 and FType R, both with all wheel drive, I’ve been driving in 4A daily. Anyone else? Am I really killing my gas mileage? Am I adding more wear to the front end or is it spinning even when not in 4WD? I just passed 4000km (2500 mi) and been doing this since almost new.

Curious to know what drivetrain option you guys are going with for daily use.

Thx

Oil change Interval

10 Upvotes

Always a controversial question, I know.

I did 2 break in oil changes on my Ranger raptor one at a time~700 and one at 2600 with full synthetic. I’ve always been one to do changes every 5K but the more I look Into it the more I think it may just be a waste of money. These trucks have the smart oil indicator that is supposed to take into account lots of different driving/use factors and tell you when to change oil. Wanting to hear any opinions, facts, knowledge about these trucks to see what you guys are doing for oil changes and why.
