G'day,

Just sharing some pics of my Arctic White Ranger Raptor, 20.75 model. I've fitted a Tuff Tonneaus Clip On tonneau cover to it, otherwise it is stock as a rock. I don't really have any other plans for it, only a dual battery setup to run a fridge and maybe a winch in the future, a company in Queensland Australia fabricates winch cradles that fit behind the factory bumper, this is what I'll be doing if I go down that path.

Cheers, I'm pretty happy with it to say the least.

I'm happy with the looks, they use stickers on the XLT etc tailgates that say "RANGER" in big letters, but I'm not a fan. I personally like the cleaner look.

Oh there are no tunes for the 2.0 Biturbo diesel available (The ECU has not been cracked), only DP chips etc, those types of things are known to kill the fuel injectors so I won't be doing anything engine wise.

They need to bring it here with the USA 2.7L gas turbo. Metal stamp in tailgate is subtle, but one can letters (molded), if one wants.

All our tailgates are identical, they just hang different badges or stickers off them. Yeah an embossed tailgate would be cool, but I'm happy with the badging. Ours are also steel, whereas I believe yours are aluminium?

The key point here is, as Pete from Tennessee says, "They need to bring it here with the USA 2.7L gas turbo...."

I really love the simpler look of the tailgate on your raptor! I wish I could get one here in the US like that. Not a big fan of the stamped Ranger. The subtle badging on your raptor is awesome.

Nice rig. The lift, fenders and tires all look very good together.

I'd like to see the diesel motors option on all North American models.

Beautiful truck.

I want one of those tailgates without the GIANT Ranger stamped on it like we are stuck with here in the U.S. "There are only 100 badges that say Ranger on the truck already, better put a billboard as a tailgate skin just in case..." --Ford Design Team when finalizing the U.S. Ranger.

Those massive letters are the main reason I have not put letter inserts in black or carbon fiber. If it was smaller and off to the side, then maybe, but those are massive. It sucks because my black package grille would look good with the letters filled in, but I can't really do those and not the rear.
