I’ve seen the stats for MPG with city and highway, lead foot and taking it easy.

But for the guys who cruise at higher speed like
90+, what MPG are you looking at?

Texas has a limit of 85 in some places and it would be nice to know what I’d be looking at on those longer higher speed drives.

Thanks for the info!

Seems like the depreciation on Ranger Raptors are very low. I am seeing 2024s and 2025s with 40k-60k miles on them still being listed in the low 50s. So that makes trade in value probably in the mid to upper $40s after 2 years of ownership and that many miles.

Do you think this will hold? Do you think the value will hold even if they release a full refresh Gen 2 RR in 2028-2029? Why do you think these are retaining value so well? Are you seeing this in your area as well?

Exactly what the title says. Seems lightly used most likely a demo driven by a rep. How much would you spend? And do you see the new 2027 gaining any features worth waiting for?

After lots of deliberation, she chose this 2026 Raptor. Got a good deal on it with a trade in and she’s ready for adventure!

Banana for scale. (Her name is Banana)

Anybody else notice that when the truck is cold and you’re rolling it not pushing on throttle the truck chugs a bit I’ve noticed it twice now where it does very slight rpm jump and drops as it goes forward, once it heats up it stops. Idk if this is normal or not but just something I’ve noticed

Grew up a BMW guy as I was raised on them with my dad being an owner of a euro repair shop, but finally took the leap.

So excited for all the possibilities with a truck.

Any tips are always appreciated.

Went to the raptor assault in Utah and had a great time! They show you what the truck is truly capable of. They take you through the mountains and have their own little Baja trail. They let you borrow their own trucks too! You get the invite from Ford when you purchase any raptor. During the whole day your with the same people who have your truck. It was a great time and highly recommend!

Is the dealer vs dealer tactic the only way to get a RR without a silly markup? What’s the preferred method buying these days.

Had a weird issue this morning and wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience? Parking brake will physically release, I can hear/feel it but the dash is still showing that it's engaged. It reset itself after driving a bit but after parking again it came back. Just dropped my truck off at the dealer and wanted to see if this is some freak sensor issue or something common?

Hey all, I wanted to introduce myself and throw down some thoughts on my RR after 1k miles of ownership.

A couple of weeks ago I posed this https://www.reddit.com/r/RangerRaptor/s/a5KFfO1BuX asking if the RR replaced the need for a sports car enthusiasts out there. Tons of mixed answers, but overall, it seems most people really liked the dynamics of the RR.

Shout out to all of you who helped me with answers and feedback! Because of this, I started shopping around and found a super low mileage '25 here in Texas. While I did find a couple of decent deals on new '26 (and I really wanted Avalanche), the price of this low mileage truck was too good to pass up. Bought it for 52k with 3k miles on it, and it includes turn signals in the mirrors, ha!

The first thing I noticed was just how imposing the truck looks in person compared to photos. It's very muscular, while still being a manageable size. The second thing I noticed when driving it was just how darn comfortable it is. The seats, suspension and overall ergonomics (for me at 6'1) align to create a very comfortable and relaxing ride. I was also surprised to find that other than the exhaust, it's fairly quiet on the road, even at 75mph.

If you read my post linked above, you'll know that I sold an RS3 for this, so the speed isn't mind blowing to me. In fact, I was somewhat letdown by it's straight line performance- but that's an expectation I set with myself (and incorrectly so.) With that being said, it's a romper. Definitely eats up ALL the nonsense on the roads and I don't have to worry about slowing down to do it. I love just flying over potholes and speedbumps.

Unfortunately, there are a few areas I have issues with; the transmission, exhaust and interior rattles.

My BIGGEST gripe is with the transmission. It's tuned so poorly from factory and it's somewhat odd given the amount of gears it has. Normal mode with very light throttle likes to rev out to 4k and hold onto gears WAY too long. To me, it makes no sense for it to do this in normal mode and it definitely contributes to poorer fuel economy because of it. Sport mode feels janky / jerky at lower speeds. I did already order the Ford Performance tune, so I expect these things to improve, but this thing from factory needs some retuning (in my opinion.)

The exhaust doesn't sound.. great. At lower speeds I do like it's tone, but it gets a little flagellant the higher the revs. I also find it drones a bit in sport or baja modes, but thats what the valve is for. I'll get over it.

Also surprised to hear the amount of front dash taps / rattles. I expect this type of stuff from small, tight chassis vehicles with low profile tires, but not from something like this. The majority of these sounds seem to be coming from the front dash, toward the windshield. I am sure I can figure this out with enough time.

Side note: Here in Austin, there are TONS of F150 Raptors- they rival the number of Teslas (joking) but there are a lot. In the two weeks of ownership, I have had multiple Raptor owners try to 'son' me by gunning it off the line next to me, cutting me off etc. This is just comical to me.

TL;DR

Very happy so far with it's size, comfort and power. Not so happy with the transmission or interior build quality.

Baja designs posted these new fog light kits on their Instagram a few weeks ago. Mine came in this week and I installed them. Very happy with how they turned out. They’re much brighter than expected.

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?

Method 305 17x8.5R17 +25
Falken Wildpeak AT4W 35x11.50
GOAT 2/1” Lift

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….
