As others have said, I'd be wary of 3 owners and an accident reported. Maybe it's nothing to worry about.
Check service records.
If everything is decent then that would be a sweet ride for your boy and you are quite the dad too!
I personally never understood exhaust mods on a production truck or regular vehicle. I do understand the performance enhancement aspect but I'm always annoyed at the sound of exhaust modifications on a four cylinder engine. Especially that of a freaking mid size truck. Or those rice burners the...
I rotate at every service interval, between 5k and 7500 miles. Full synthetic oil too. This is a really great way to prolong the life of your engine and your tires too. Not enough people do this. It's a relatively small price to pay to ensure maximum equipment life and performance. I know people...
I think 5,000 service intervals is definitely on the safe side. If you are running full synthetic, even more so. Things are definitely different than they were 30 years ago and beyond. I really see no reason why you couldn't go to 7,500 comfortably. I use full synthetic in all of our vehicles...
I used my points on my first oil change and The Works service. I simply explained to the service manager that I wanted to use my points for the service and he was able to look up my account and view my points right there on his computer. Just so you know, The Works was $69.99 when I went but I...
I'm just honestly curious about your apprehensiveness towards the K&N filter? I ran one on my old Ranger for 280,000 and cleaned it and oiled it every 50,000 with the cleaner/care kit and I had no problems. Considering I paid about 50 bucks for it, I undoubtedly paid for it many times over by...
I'm NOT in a position to consider paying anything over MSRP but if I was, I'd definitely do it. How much money does one need when they die? Ok, a fair answer would be: enough to cover my funeral? Others want to leave a little something for others and that's fair too. You gotta make sure the wife...
Completely understand, I was mostly kidding about the Raptor, mostly...
I've seen your other posts explaining the Raptor thing. Others as well have been remarking about how their Tremor pretty much gives them everything they need and that is completely understandable too.
I'm the same way, kind...
I wondered myself about the logic of a turbo 4 in a truck and then I drove mine for the first time and wondered no more. Way better than any vehicle I've ever owned, in terms of power, tech and utility. I was thrilled to be able to order mine the way I wanted, with a supercab, and I as well want...
Ooh yeah! That looks like fun. We know you're gonna show us how you do.
But c'mon AZ, tell us about how you're placing your order for the new RAPTOR! Gotta be someone on here doing that. Since you are akin to our fearless leader around here, I can't think of anyone better to dive in first...
Same. 2022 stock XL FX2. Supercab.
I guess I don't know what I'm missing since my last one was a 2000 with crank windows, manual locks and 5 speed. NO creature comforts except for cd player and air conditioning.
But not only do I not know what I'm missing, I don't CARE what I'm missing. I have...
I'm totally stock and happy as a pig in shit. I've been hanging around here for awhile, admiring others' mods and upgrades. I plan on taking it slow too, wanting to upgrade my rear shocks first. Suppose I'll have to get that damned damper. After asking around about tunes, I probably won't do...
Just glad you didn't have a collision. My active emergency braking system (or whatever it's called) saved my ass one day as I was leaving work. This particular idiot pulled out RIGHT in front of me. Had I been a half second earlier this guy would have straight up freaking T boned me. I was...
I'm with ya on that last part. I got a 22 XL supercab and added the regular STX and FX2 package, spray in bedliner and auto stop/start delete. The dealer tried talking me into the STX SE package but I had a number I was trying to get to and the STX SE put it over that. Wondered if I'd regret not...
I'm not really qualified to comment on the merits, or not about this upgraded Hennesy Ranger Raptor but this is my theory:
In stock form the Ranger Raptor, at least on paper, looks perfect as is. IF I could spend the money on one I'd probably just leave it as is. In my opinion, these aftermarket...
Well, I'm stock on everything still, and I drive VERY conservatively (usually) and I have a mix of highway miles and city miles, mostly highway I'd have to say. For what it's worth, I've always used 93 octane. I have 10,500 miles so far and have had one service, so far, and got full synthetic...
Yeah, they are getting up in price, for sure. BUT consider that the XL trim 24 model automatically comes with the STX package and crew cab. And all the new interior bits along with LED lighting. So I guess it's kind of justified. But all of this makes me happy I got my 22. XL 2wd STX FX2...
