Yeah too big. I just need to carry basic tools. I own a chain of stores and need to carry your usual tools like a battery drill, screwdrivers, small socket set, wrenches, hammer, etc at all times... Nothing crazy just enough to do basic maintence and repair on things and I don't want a tool...
I wish but no. The Ranger barely fits a sheet of 4x8 plywood that I have to randomly buy at the home depot for my arts and crafts projects, and those get in the way. They work perfect on F150's though. I've spent hours looking, and it seems like there just isn't a market for anyone to make...
1992 called they want their diamond plate back. All I desire is a slim tool box in black that is SMOOTH sided. I just need something that can hold some basic tools that doesn't sacrifice the bed for like plywood or tall objects. So no cargo boxes in the bed floor, no overland topper, etc...
You don’t have money wasting it on crap you don’t need no matter how much you make. I can buy a raptor with two weeks of income but it doesn’t mean you just spend money.
Yeah I just crossed 55k. The only thing it's ever needed was a new battery and a DPFE sensor (never threw a CEL but the symptoms were starting to show, so I just replaced it anyways, instant fix). Always dealer serviced. They want to give me 25k for it, which I think is a smoking deal for a 23...
I don't see any reason to wait for a 2027, as nothing new as come out on the Australian models Raptors. Raptors don't get BlueCruise and there's been no mid-life body refreshes overseas. The only difference I saw on the lot is 2025 has 12v in the bed, 2026 has 120v.
My current 2023 Ranger is lifted on Fox suspension, OME leafs, sitting on 285/75/17s and I don't even notice my camper trailer when towing... other than getting 11mpg towing or 15mpg not towing. It's interesting that a truck with 200 more HP would have less power pulling?
In terms of money...
My 2023 has 17x8 methods 0 offset with 285/70-17s. Will those rims/tires bolt of with no drama? The dealer said we can swap the Raptor rims/tires to my truck at time of trade in.
I also have an OVS truck cap and I did some measurements looks like that’ll slap right on?
I tow a 16ft camper...
The 2026 Super Duty supposedly has the stronger USA frame not the PX3 frame to give it the tow ratings. At least that's what I read through the grapevine.
Also, if the USA ever got the Super Duty with the 3.0 diesel I'd buy it tomorrow cash. Ford would never do such a thing though, the Ranger...
The new 2026 Ranger Super Duty in Australia now comes standard with a 130L fuel tank. I wonder if it can be adapted to our USA rangers as an alternative option to the LRA tank. I haven't yet purchased the LRA because of how it sticks down 1.5 inches over stock. I do a lot of off-roading...
Method 701 bead grip 0 offset rims. Fox Racing coilovers up front. OME 1.7 lift springs out back. High clearance crash bars.
Does it rub? A HAIR at full lock due to the very aggressive sidewall biter design, it effectively makes the tires more like a 300 width. It wouldn't rub with other...
Ha! It's around 40k miles on the clock. Paint all tiger striped and scratched to the metal in places from branches, dents, etc. What's a little hammering to the frame at this point.
I might just go with 0 offset. I should have the setup to make it work with 285s. If not, nothing a hammer won't fix. It's 25mm more poking out and 0.5in taller tire. I don't see why that won't fit, got tons of room right now.
A +35 offset rim would actually suck in 12mm compared to my OEM...
