After today's 108F and stop n go for 15 minutes for 1 mile, I would have almost traded in today for the 6G ranger with electric fan. Truck got up to 240F water and AC got warm at 240F, I think there is a cut-off. Cylinder heat 218F I think it was. Just zero airflow, hwy probably +130F warming...
haha nice. Yeah I have a pair down in the center like you, does well but I want to get the ditch lights on at least by the end of summer. Comes in handy having them mounted higher especially when trying to spot deers and such.
I like the position of these, not sure I would get them because I already have ditch light brackets for the hood hinge, haven't been able to make the time to install them for about a year now. My other pair is mounted in the center opening of the lower grill.
Great looking truck, I didn't know the later front end could be swapped. I was never a fan of that Tonka Truck front grill.
Did 2017 have the same version of Ford's Sync that the 5g ranger has? Ironically, I prefer the electronics in the Ranger over the newer F150's. So many nanny features on...
The stock housing does look quite bad, the inlet to the box is so much smaller than the outlet. I have just run K&N and AEM filters all this time but since doing engine bolt-ons and a Ford tune, I am thinking of getting the s&b cold air intake. Good price and they apparently manufacture...
Thanks, I love the truck. Almost paid off which is more important to me than a new truck. I did a double take because for a second I thought the Ranger Raptor was an F150 Raptor till I noticed the headlights.
I was on the 110 South around the downtown LA area and there was another 5g ranger...
Man, saw this Ranger Raptor yesterday, parked after I got there. I don't stop and take pictures of trucks often by any means but this one was setup so nicely, just how I would want it!
lol the thought that popped into my head when I saw it, "thats what happens when a 5g Ranger is given...
Did a turnaround trip yesterday from Vegas to Glendale, CA then Costa Mesa, CA and back to visit two clients. Roughly 620 miles round trip
Drive there 19.7mpg, ~95% freeway. A light headwind driving there but only doing 75mph. A little traffic in some parts, not stop n go. Cruised down PCH with...
Glad you loved your time with the truck. I plan on keeping mine for a few more years if I can. Every time we tow, like this weekend, my wife reminds me how small it is.....I tell her it's because she keeps a 7-11 worth of snacks in the front area. We had an f150 loaner a few months when my...
Just make sure it is in 2wd, it might start in 4wd. From what it sounds like, Raptors can do Baja in 2wd where my Ranger will kick it out of Baja if I select 2wd instead. It is a spicey mode, wish I could drive with it on-road lol
Congrats! Meanwhile, my Ford dealer has had a black raptor ranger on the lot all week for $10k markup. Asked when I was there for an oil change.
Was similar when we got the Tremor. My wife even noticed it drove better than an FX4
I have been curious what a 6g Tremor might look like, Australia has had it maybe 2 years now? I am worried they will not bring it to the USA at this point. There is plenty of room to build something in between the FX4 and Raptor. Only thing I don't like about the Raptor interior is the...
Ah shoot, didn't see that. Well in the months I have had it, I ended up using it more when they gave me 100GB. Mostly because 5g is so hit n miss in Vegas though
If you can get a RR at MSRP, I would argue it is the best option just on resell value alone. There is just so much good with that truck.
I'm not looking to upgrade but going from the Tremor to a normal 6g Ranger would feel like a suspension downgrade (multi-leaf rear and shocks, plus my mods)...
Yeah, looks like the email I received as well. I can't complain though, no other service comes close. At my kids school my phone will even show full reception 5G (T-Mobile) and I can BARELY open text emails. It is a business expense for me as well so whatever.
I just have been split on giving...
