Yes ..like my old 1971 International Scout....a tank...all steel....no synchro 4 speed shift...4 wheeled like a mother ..
Sounds similar to a truck that my Uncle Roy had when I was a kid. Old Red is what we called it lol. 71 Ford 3/4 ton faded and patinaed red paint hint the name, no power steering, no power brakes, the body was beat up from the front to the back and top to bottom from him and Casey being out in the woods hunting, with a 1 ton rear end and transfer case, 390 FE big block engine with a 4 speed transmission with Granny low 1st gear, true dual exhaust with hollowed out glass packs that ran straight out the back and turned down at the rear bumper and 16.5x10 white spoke wagon wheels with 33×12.5R16.5 Wild Country mud tires white letters out. From what I remember from the times that I rode in that truck with Uncle Roy and my late cousin Casey, it would plow through just about anything that he wanted it to go through lol.

Nice looking color, if I had the chance to get a RR, one of the hardest decisions would be which color to get. There are a good 2-3 colors I could be happy with. Bummed they got rid of the blue/grey color for 2026.

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 green looked good in the sun but not for me. Oxford white, cactus and dessert sand a no go. Also I loathe any rediculous graphics, which my raptor decal will be short lived.
