Who pays $60k for a "special edition" truck with no idea of what the "special edition" entails?

Yeah before this thread I wasn’t even aware Roush had a Ranger. That’s why I asked about the engine.
Yeah if I ever was in that price range I’d go APG Ranger or used Raptor. To each their own, I hope OP’s dealership takes care of him.

At that width of tire it might not even be the crash bar you're rubbing on.No. Everything else seems to be here. But wheels that are specified to this vehicle would be nice.
Also it would be nice not to rub on the crash bars. If left alone .. not replaced to a skinnier tire / would it cause any issues in long run ? ??‍Thanks …
That tire is 40mm wider than the 265s that come on the Roush. I highly doubt you'll be able to run that width without aftermarket crashbars at a minimum.
Also, when you talk to the sales guy you should point out that not only did you pay for the Roush wheels, you also, most likely since it was so pricey, paid for the Fuels and wider tires as well. Thinking about it further, they probably owe you both sets or some money.

Of course you do now. Obviously you didn't before opening your checkbook. I mean one look at the Roush website and even a cataract patient could see that Fuel wheels are not included.
If you think you look like an idiot that's on you. Not me.
I've given you plenty of very good advice. It's the internet, sometimes there is sarcasm. Good and bad and all that.

Just wanted to know what it would be rubbing on and if it would cause long term damage. I appreciate the help …Of course you do now. Obviously you didn't before opening your checkbook. I mean one look at the Roush website and even a cataract patient could see that Fuel wheels are not included.

I hope they do too. But I have a feeling they won't. The only thing worse than dealership service staff is their sales staff.
On top of that price all Roushs are built on XLT trim only.
I'm with you, if I'm spending that much on a truck it's probably not a Ranger. And if it is it would be a built widebody example.

Crash bars would be best case scenario. Could be worse, like the knuckle.
No way to know without getting under there and looking. I don't think I've seen anybody even attempt that width on a simple level. You're in uncharted territory I believe.

Guys, lay off the poor guy. It's not like he custom ordered the Roush package and waited for delivery. He went into a stealership, saw a truck he liked and purchased it.
Even if he did custom order it, do we really want to devolve into the Tacoma forums?
That being said, while I might want the special Roush wheels, I would definitely prefer the larger tire. It can be made to work by either adjusting, or if necessary removing the crash bars. Fairly simple to do it you have a few hand tools.

This is simple, take it back to the dealer and have them fix it. Maybe they forgot to trim something or include a mod normally included in that package that is supposed to make those tires work. Otherwise those tires are just too wide.

Wrong sized tires for the package. Sounds like dealership sold the Roush wheels and tires to someone else and needed something else to put on there.

Can we have some nice pictures of the interior and exterior? Sorry to hear about your issue, it seems like the dealership should fix you up after speaking with them. Hopefully at least. I like the Roush Ranger aesthetically, I just couldn’t justify 13k extra for pretty much the roush interior. Looks really nice though, wish I had that kind of money for the luxury feel. Grats on the nice new truck, helpfully you can get your tire issue resolved.
EDIT: looked up the roush ranger, I’m really surprised for 13k more they didn’t tack on their ROUSH CAI. Seems like a no brainer branded item to toss in that probably only cost them a couple hundred.

It's inappropriate for you all to make assumptions he didn't look at what he was buying. As someone who literally sells Roush Ford Products, along with every other model on the lineup, it can be a lot for a sales person, AND customer to ingest. That being said I can attest that it was likely your parts and sales manager who made the decision to toss on Fuel Rims because many of you don't understand the logistics of a Roush Package. It's shipped to the dealer, to have their certified tech install it. If you understood the wait time on Roush Rims you'd shit your pants. The dealer should have been transparent about the rims - that's the dealers fault for not correctly training people and it's probably 99% factual that the salesmen didn't even know.
As most sales people are stupid with modifications and lacking knowledge on the vehicles themselves. It's not the customers fault they trust the "educated individual" whos supposed to be the "professional". Quit harping the guy. There are integral sales people out there.
As for a plan - you can go two ways. Knowing that Roush backs their certificates and in order for the dealer to keep the "Roush Dealer" badge above their logo they need to be in good standing.
Option 1) You contact dealer, tell them your experience with the tires and rims and how they dont match the Roush Package. Just advise them you want the swap for tires for purposes of safety immediately, and the rims on order. And say nicely that you'll contact Roush and tell them they sold you an illegitimate Roush package with a CERTIFICATE of authenticity. If they know Roush will be involved they also know they'll likely to get a fine, or pull their certificate. You can also let the know you'll write an outstanding review on their google, or whatever platform they want to use giving them a 5 star for their cooperation. This should get things started as the fine is MUCH larger then tires and rims. Getting your cert pulled means you don't get discounts on parts and your markup goes bye bye! They won't want to go either route.
Option 2) You skip the dealer, contact roush, post an awful review and play the waiting game til someone tries to rectify. Never go this Route please... Sure you feel like a big boy but we're hoomans on the other side and personally speaking I'll do 10000x more for someone who treats me well then someone whos a complete asshat.
