They are not the same. Ranger Raptor is called Shelter Green and looks kinda bronze/green in certain sun light.



That's a nice rig! And built in limited numbers, only 750, I think. So, hold on to it, it's gonna be rare in a few years.
He was saying it looks bronze/copper b/c he is color blind to green colors.

Oddly enough i saw another EG Ranger this afternoon driving home through San Diego!! I tried to get along side and give them a thumbs up but they were booking it at almost 90 and i don't feel like getting a ticket the first month of ownership lol


I resemble this remark :confused:
With a MKIV R i bet you do!! The 3.2 is still one of my favorite sounding engines OAT!!

Thanks Jason, I wasn’t sure if they were different colours and now I know. If they were side-by-side, they’d probably look the same colour to me. 🤦‍♂️

It’s weird but Ranger drivers out in the wild are not nearly as excited about their trucks as we forum members are - no one waves…..ever. :(

We could all chip in and get him this one and tell him it's the new RR in Shelter Green. He'll think everyone's pointing and smiling because it's Raptor but little will he know the real reason. lol

Oh ya! lol I budgeted for mods and maintenance haha. I had an 07 VW GTI for 7 years. My wallet is no stranger to pain and suffering lmao


Oh damn you're right! I need to put one on order and get my trans service kit and PPE pan ordered up too. Gotta keep this 10R80 as happy as possible!


The Dealer in Gilbert AZ had one in their "Bronco Building!" Great looking vehicle but no thanks haha
You still have a wallet? Not trying hard enough until you have to pawn it off to buy more upgrades !
