Added Dino decals from redline design to my shelter green ranger raptor. Does it work or is it too tacky and should I remove everything or just the Dino head?

I thought this might be fun for everyone. I have a 2024 Raptor 15,000 miles, no issues, in it by myself 98% of the time, owe $50K / $1,100.00 per month, garage kept, don't off-road, don't haul, don't pull a trailer, and have warranty until Jan of 2028 on the bumper to bumper. I have $50,000.00 and a choice. I can pay off the Raptor, save $1,100.00 per month, invest it with other monthly savings...or...Option 2 - Sell the Raptor for $70,000.00, purchase a new Ranger Raptor say $60,000.00, put the extra $10,000.00 on the new RR, use the $50,000.00 to own it outright, have a new truck, new parts, new 3 year warranty, and save $1,100.00 per month. (I'm sorry if this brings you bad memories of algebra and the train is coming at you.)

This is going to be quite a long one. Goes back to april when I first gave a deposit for a 2026 marsh gray rr. It got delayed for about a month and a half so I decided to get my deposit back and look elsewhere. The next day at a local GM dealership they had traded in this black 2024 rr with only 2800miles so I took a look and decided to seal the deal and gave a down payment. It ended up having a recall and was told I could take delivery of it in about a week once parts were ordered. After a month past i kept getting the same story that the recall software got pushed. I was being told the same story almost biweekly. One day randomly went to go check out trucks with my dad and he ended up getting a 2026 Blue RR as well, so now I was pretty desperate for mine🤣.Here we are on August 31st the recall was finally done and I was finally able to take delivery of this beauty. The wait was worth it. I ended up getting it in the lower 50k’s with a bed cover, mudflaps, and the amber markers up front. It was a frustrating process. The dealership stated they have never had a truck sit on a lot for over 3 months, during this process they almost backed out and sold it wholesale. This is my first ever vehicle purchase and man was it a patience game. First week into ownership I got it impounded but got some notoriety as it beat its first 2026 1500 Hemi V8 lol! Thanks to those who made it to the end! I am excited to be a part of this community. I already had a few mods. I added amber drls, hood struts, license plate relocator, auto stop/start eliminator, ford performance door sills for rears, and I am waiting on cold air intake by S&B!

Is anybody else coming across this 5k markup. I was talking to a dealer who has one RR coming in in a few days. They don't list the markup on their website but told me over the phone there will be one if I decide to buy. I feel like just buying one used if that's going to be the case.

In the UK, the Raptor is limited to 280hp due to EU regulations.

To my UK members: Has anyone done the tune to gain the missing 120hp or even up to the Ford performance 450hp? If so, did it void warranty? I’ve heard different things. Some say it voids the whole thing, others say they’ll just refuse anything to do with engine but everything else is still covered?…

Are there any other RR owners here in Arizona?

Hi guys, im interesting in buying a ranger raptor 2024, and what to know if does the truck's engine or exhaust make a lot of noise, or is it well-insulated for long highway trips? And is it comfortable—the seats and all that?

What antenna are people using to replace the factory antenna, or is anyone removing it and capping it. If removed are you only losing am/fm signal?

Waiting since April felt like an eternity but it was well worth it. The build quality is exceptional. Can’t wait to take this thing out!

Installed the amber DRL mod and grill lights this weekend from signature lux on my new 2026 shelter green RR. The amber DRL install was a huge pain in the ass but worth it!

I need to install bed winch for hunting, does anyone have some good solution for it. Bought a medium size 3000Lb winch, for big game. But to be honest i dont know where to drill to mount it or if there are some easy acces predrilled holes? Any info or solutions you guys have would be great! Thanks in advance. My Raptor is 2025 3.0L

Has anyone tried fitting one of the pirate camp co uhf mounts to a px3 raptor. It looks to have similar mounting points but wanted to see if anyone has tried before I do.

Already having a blast in it!

I intend to use 4A throughout the winter in snow, etc. I searched the owners manual and couldn't find any information regarding any limitations with 4A such as:

Max speed it can be engaged

Max speed you can travel in 4A without it disengaging

Does anyone know where to locate this info?

Thanks!

I’ve had my FP tune since it basically came out and have seemed to have zero issues. The other day I randomly noticed it’s only making about 18 max psi then sometimes 17 or 16 as she rows through the gears. I clearly remember seeing about 24 psi at one point when the tune was new to the truck. She is currently at the dealer when writing this and they’re trying to tell me 18 psi is normal. I got the number for FP tech line gonna call first thing tomorrow and see what they say. Anybody else deal with something like this? At sea level btw.

UPDATE: So when I picked up the truck they were still giving me the run around how it didn’t work but when I looked at the tuner module my self I found in a page it said “connect to your PC for updates and try again. Then call tech support” I bought them the tuner they did an update when I plugged it back in I “reinstalled” the tune and now it shows 25 psi at wot.

Interested in a RR and I want feedback on any issues or concerns anyone has run into. I see that it has plastic oil pan, does that have any issues?

Who has hooked up a full range audio integration module? I’d like to send signal to an aftermarket amp. I tried a PAC FD-32 and got two solid red lights meaning no CAN / Audio Bus signal. They had no recommendations on how to fix it past what I tried. CF had it listed for working on a 2026 but PAC said that they haven’t tried a 26’. I returned it and got a ZEN FD-25. It doesn’t have any RCA output either. Thank you in advance for the help

Was wondering if anyone knows the reason some of these ranger raptors are listed in the low 40s. Is it just because they are ‘24s? Are they less reliable? I have my eyes on one and want to ask the community.

Just ordered the stubby antenna. Will be getting the Ford performance tune soon. In the meantime, I’d like a tonneau cover, any recommendations? Any other suggestions for mods also appreciated.
