The spokes of the stock wheelset stick out a bit, and they can get dinged when going off road. I'm wondering if it's worth it to get a more dished wheelset. But then, if the tires stick out, it might compromise suspension articulation (tire could hit the fender in rough ground). I'd appreciate...

You're right; apparently there are more Ranger Raptors in the Philippines than any other country. I guess it's a tax thing -seems they're cheaper here than anywhere else, even Thailand, where they're made. I'm not interesting in hardcore trailing either, just wanna try stuff the truck was built...

Took an off-roading class and did some camping. It was eye opening to actually experience what my truck's capable of.

Hahaha, I'm actually curious what's the percent of buyers in the Philippines who opt for 4WD. 10% or less? Is the group you joined a Ford owners group? Maybe there's a multibrand trailing/overlanding group in CDO that's more your speed? I just assumed fewer big cities = loads of trails...

I should've taken more pics, but anyway, I took a beginners trailing class since the Raptor is basically my first "useable" 4WD vehicle (I've got an old Range Rover Classic, but that's a garage queen :blush: ). It's freaking amazing what this vehicle can do, and as the quote goes, it's great to...

Exactly. Especially since every light in front is LED. I'm tempted to change to aftermarket rears.

Damn. If there's one thing I'd like to tweak on the Raptor, it's adaptive cruise control.

I've seen a ton of videos on chip installs. Hopefully someone from Oz chimes in, I'm not aware of any chip distributors in my neck of the woods.

Great, thanks!

What tire pressures are you running off pavement? I'm on the stock 285/70 R17s, and this is my first time to have 33s.

Many thanks, Jim :)

Here you go. The sticker's OEM, and the color is "Performance Blue" (yup, cheesy).

I wish Rangers where I am (Philippines) had that tray on the dash. It's so useful, and the Ranger lacks storage and cubbies in general.

For my business, we need to load stuff that can't get wet, so this comes in handy. It's been pretty weatherproof so far.

Yup, sorta. It's likely a combination of low taxes in the Philippines on utility vehicles (including pickups) plus free trade agreements within ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations), which the Philippines and Thailand (where the Ranger Raptor is built) are a part of.

Thanks, never heard about it until you brought it up. Had to look it up: https://cnnphilippines.com/business/2021/1/4/DTI-car-imports-additional-duty.html It does sound like a money grab.

Ahh sorry, I misunderstood. I have the same problem with sliding objects, so i put a generic rubber mat (made for the trunks of SUVs), but it's not perfectly sized for the Raptor bed.

In Cyprus, the Raptor doesn't come stock with a bed liner? Interesting. Here in the Philippines our Raptors come with a plastic liner, which I don't really like. I wish it came with a spray liner instead.
