I can be found posting nearly those exact words on this forum. Then I drove one and started thinking numbers.
My 2019 lariat fx4 msrp was 44k my 2025 raptor was 57k. Allot of truck for 13k more 6 years later. Plus should hold its value if well maintained. I got 25k trade in for my 2019.
If maintained properly and not abused yes. With the exception of the 10r80 tranny. 160k miles was my goal but I lost faith approaching the end of my 7 year extended warranty. I think the truck otherwise is solid. I would have dealt with the tranny issue if Ford had a solid answer to adressing...
There are many great trucks but what is unknown until you drive them many miles is if they have a modern 10 speed Ford transmission Ranger if they are included.🙄
Honestly the best color I have seen on any Ranger is the tri metallic platinum that was available on 1 year and model. 2019 lariat...
That said my dealer had every color Raptor and other than "pull me over" ruby red metallic. The metallic silver IMHO was diffinitely the best choice. The shelter...
Thank you. I do not know if you have ever driven in DC but daily commuting will probably put it somewhat through its paces until I can get it properly dirty.
Mesmerized....its allot of truck.
Two things I negotiated after trade in and out the door price... I need at 8/85 ford warrantee...and oh yes, Pro Cal 3.0 tune.
Gets installed Monday😵💫
Huge thanks to all the Formites for you advice, support , humor and putting up with me for 6 1/2 years😄
Had not planned on trading my 2019 Lariat fx4 but my dealer gave me a sweet deal and once I drove it I was vexed and there was no turning back. Just too good a truck and deal to pass...
Well no one talked me off the ledge. So it is all you guyz fault. Especially You AZ Scorpian. Hopefully my 10r80 trans mission woes are over. Just brought home a new Ranger Raptor.
I have similiar issues. I do not want to have to take it back multiple times. I spoke with a new dealer service rep today they seemed to want to help. My original dealer had my truck diagnosing it two weeks with 0 results. Bummer.
I have 72k miles, bought truck new. I have very hard shifts sparatocally shifting into reverse since new. Occasionally will shift hard in forward. Letting truck warm a few minutes before driving and backing into park spots helps. Also had the trans fluid flushed at 65k which seemed to help...
