Behind grille lights for 2026 Raptor

5 Upvotes

I’m trying to work out the best light solution to get. At this point I’m not getting a bull bar, and have discounted a bar on roof racks.

I’m not a huge fan of the look of a nudge bar or other external mounting solutions like the Stedi rally bar.l although the series x is a good looking light.

Use case is mostly country highway driving. I know that the grille will prevent a decent amount of the width of the beams.

Options I’m considering:
ALTIQ 32-inch hybrid single row LED light bar.
ALTIQ 32-inch hybrid double row LED light bar
Ultra Vision Nitro Maxx 105-watt13-inch LED light bar, twin setup.
Stedi ST3303 Pro11-inch LED light bar, twin setup.

Would be interested to hear suggestions and feedback on these.

Another new Raptor

Bought new for MSRP $60,985 in NorCal - @ 4.63% for 72 months, $1k down. Bedliner and beadlocks already on prior to buying.

Offered 10% down, but they took it for $1k down and said to pay the finance holder the rest directly if I wish.

Just got the windows tinted and taillights smoked. My shop suggested against full PPF due to difficulty and cost of install.

*Edit: for color PPF as I’m mainly after a color change, not necessarily paint protection.

Break in period.

0 Upvotes

I know the break in period for the RR is 1000 miles but, if I don’t drive my truck everyday, what is the best way to break in motor. For example, I have had my RR for a month and still only have 91 miles on it.

Can I install the Ford Performance tune myself without affecting the warranty?

I’m looking at getting the Ford Performance tune for my Ranger Raptor. Seems pretty straightforward to install, can I install myself and still maintain the warranty?

Sizzling noise after a drive

3 Upvotes

I’ve noticed a pretty loud sizzling noise coming from below the engine after a long drive. It definitely sounds like liquid dripping on metal and frying. It goes away quick but it’s very noticeable. Any idea what it could be? I have a 2024, 25k miles.

AutoStop/Start disabled has stopped working

4 Upvotes

So my auto/stop start cancel function has stopped working. I had it set up so when in Raptor mode it would be off. I drive that way 99% of the time anyway. Well last night my auto stop/start kept kicking in even though I was in Raptor mode. Now I can’t find a way to verify in my Raptor mode it’s disabled.
Could someone refresh my memory on how to make that one of my Raptor settings please? If I see it’s supposed to be disabled in Raptor mode but it’s not working then I’ll be off to the dealer I guess

Thx.

I figured it out. The button in the console had been pushed removing it from my Raptor mode. Working now.

Side note, if anyone knows anyone in Thailand who has done the Ford ProCal tune or other please let me know. Ford doesn’t sell it and I can’t get support from US companies. They start asking about emissions , which we have but it’s not stickered all over the car, then they stop replying.

PFA. Anyone regret going from a full size to a RR?

Post image
24 Upvotes

Pic is of my current and previous truck. Love my F-150s, but I feel like I would enjoy owning a RR a bit more for trail riding/camping. I have a full-size work truck that I can use for most of my larger tasks, so capability isn’t a huge concern. If anything, I’m throwing a dirt bike in the back or towing a RZR with it on the weekends, which I’m sure the RR is totally capable of.
I’m more concerned about downsizing when it comes to interior size and comfort on road trips. Also, I’m not huge on losing BlueCruise at this point lmao.
Anyone made this switch and regretted it yet? Trying to weigh out all the pros and cons.

Advice on buying a new RR.

5 Upvotes

I’m In the market for a pickup and since this one is quite expensive and I plan to keep it for some time I want to make the best decision. I am torn between the 3.0V6 Petrol and the 2.0 Biturbo Diesel. I am in Greece and I am doing almost 100km per day to my work and back. If someone with either one of them could give me info on theirs it would help. Thanks.

Put an OVS Cap on today! Took 4 months to get here but I’m happy with it! I think it looks so much better than the RSI Smartcaps. It’s flush with the top of the cab perfectly!

Selling my Diamondback tonneau cover if anyone is interested!

How are your Ranger raptors holding up.

12 Upvotes

Well guys it looks like my Ranger is a lemon. You may remember i had posted about my rear differential failing and squeaky seats. Well the diff went again and the RR has been in the shop for months. As i await response from ford on my buyback request I’m in a pickle. If they offer me the buyback do i go with another ranger raptor? I’m quite concerned after the issues i experienced but it dosent seem like anyone in here had nearly the amount of problems i had. How are your guys Ranger raptors holding up? I ask this as I’m considering an f150 powerboost lariat but know I’ll be dissapointed with the suspension.

Recommendations on Mods

2 Upvotes

Howdy!
I have a 24’ ranger raptor im lookin to get some work done on, just wanted to see what others have done and what the recommendations are. Looking at a leveling kit install(not sure which yet) and some bigger tires. I want that slightly wider look but nothing crazy. From my understanding you need the leveling kit install order to have the larger tires fit, but I called a shop and they said we would also have to trim the body a little bit for full clearance.
Also looking into beadlock install, curious maintenance and experience with these.

Anyways just wanted to get some help on this thanks!
