If you have ForScan you can put the Raptor display on the radio screen to really sell the lie ,LOL.I'm liking my 2021 Ranger blackout package I added what makes people think it's a Raptor. Kinda fun.
This one might have enough lights, lol. This is a garage in the Philippines that builds some crazy rigs.I think it's great beast of a Ranger...even though it doesn't have enough lights...many people will be proud owners...me? I've no envy...very happy with my baby...
I have to admit, I lol'd when I saw the damper display given all the jokes. Still a really nice looking truck.
I think he was talking about the actual RaptorThanks
I don't understand how crawling through a field, an not putting you truck in the ditch was made easier by a red line on the steering wheel?Hey.. I used the red thingy just yesterday to navigate over some rocks as I needed to go around the other car parked in middle of the field road and I had to go around the ditch. Needed to drop a replacement hydraulic pushing arm to the field as the previous one started to leak and the guy doing the baling needed one.
It is usefull.
When you land you want to keep the tires straight and not tilted. There's no feedback when you're jumping over the ditch...I don't understand how crawling through a field, an not putting you truck in the ditch was made easier by a red line on the steering wheel?
Shouldn't you be looking at the obstacles, not the steering wheel? How does a center marker make it easier? I have never, ever seen any driver look at the steering wheel to help them navigate the road, or obstacles.
For the record, the purpose is to help have your wheels dead straight to expedite tire changes when you pit for tire changes in a race.
The original design for the st line of vehicles was a massive improvement on performance, even now the edge st and whatnot are massively more powerful than the top of the line non-st edge. Focus/fiesta we’re even give close ratio manual gearboxes. With some small bolt one and a tune my focus st was making 300hp to the wheels on pump gas."Raptor-Line"
Like the ST-Line. Styling but no performance.
He’s jumping the ditch and there’s not any feedback in the air, so the redline helps you know where the wheels are.I don't understand how crawling through a field, an not putting you truck in the ditch was made easier by a red line on the steering wheel?

This is not what he said in the original post. "to navigate over some rocks as I needed to go around the other car parked in middle of the field road and I had to go around the ditch."He’s jumping the ditch and there’s not any feedback in the air, so the redline helps you know where the wheels are.
Also at the dunes, when you’re bombing around corners in 2’ of powder sand, sometimes it’s hard to know exactly how far the weeks are from center. It’s not super useful to most, but you can add it temporarily with red tape if you want to perform such maneuvers.
I think he’s playing with you honestly. That said, my Ranger has a dash screen that tells you wheel alignment and a bunch of other useful stuff, so there’s that. I can see how the line would be useful though under high speed sand situations. I’m from Michigan, and we have our fair share of mud. We also have some of the largest freshwater dunes anywhere in the world. I recently went to the dunes for the first time, and it was nothing like the mud, snow, rocks, or anything else I’ve encountered .This is not what he said in the original post. "to navigate over some rocks as I needed to go around the other car parked in middle of the field road and I had to go around the ditch."
IMO -
Jumping the ditch? Isn't the steering wheel centered at launch? Are you approaching a jump from an angle or with the steering wheel at 250 degrees off straight? Isn't that how vehicles flip? How big are these ditch jumps that you are in the aor more than a split second?
I've been playing in snow and mud my whole life. They are very similar to sand play. Having the wheel dead straight in high torque, high speed play does not ensure your vehicle is moving the direction you want, nor straight. Direction of travel and slippage is all the feedback needed to find straight, and looking at the wheel, even briefly is counter-productive.
The only practicality of the center line, is at, or approaching a full stop. IMO, for street and off-road vehicles it's nothing more than a cosmetic fad.
YMMV
