Today marks exactly 1 year since I picked up my Ranger Raptor from the dealership! As we start to approach 1 year ownership, what is your list of mods and experiences with it? Mileage: Just under 15k Mods: Black Rhino Etosha wheels in Matte Bronze...

I've had my share of small/fast cars (Audi S4, Golf R, WRX STI, Mini Cooper S) and driven even faster cars (Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Porsches, Ford GT, Corvette ZR1, etc..) and I have to say that the RRaptor has not disappointed in the slightest. The feeling those cars give you on the track is...

A few months back I heard a story about one of the gnomes working at the Ford plant lost his leg and they never found it. It's an extremely dangerous job. Tragic!

Ausmotion makes a ton of custom panels for that area if anyone is interested. https://ausmotion.com/ford-ranger-ra-series/

That color looks great!

I'm looking at getting the toolbox. Do you think the bracket will fit over the Ausmotion air compressor mount?

No leveling kit required. I've had zero issues with it.

Are these connected to the frame? Do they double as rock-sliders?

Do yourself a HUGE favor and go watch Top Gear. Start around season 4 as that's when it really catches its stride. I expect a full report back in a few weeks on how it has become your new favorite TV show. You won't be disappointed!

He takes his daughter out for a spin:

The stupid iPhone 16 Pro camera bump is so ridiculously big, it lifts the back of the phone too high to get a proper charging connection. The charging indicator on my phone is constantly turning on and off because of this. I'm sure if I had a phone case that made the back flush, it would be...

My "Trip 2" counter had never reset since I bought my truck. It was nice to have something that showed my overall MPG over the lifetime of the truck, but that got reset with the software update. :(

Looks great, what is the offset on those wheels?

I ran two 4-gauge cables from the battery straight to the back, that was by far the hardest part. On the Raptor, there are two cables pre-ran for aux 3 and aux 4. I used aux 4. The ARB twin air compressor has a long wiring loom that I ran over the top of the spare tire zip tying it to the bar...

If you use Apple Carplay, there is a screen you can view both at the same time if you push the home screen button while you're already on the home screen.

I got my EZ Flate Air Command auto manifold a couple of days ago. I connect it to my on-board air compressor, set the PSI and walk away. It works great, I'd highly recommend! With the 4-way hoses, I can pump up all 4 tires at the same time. I'm able to fit the bag with the manifold and hoses in...

This is what I'd like, but for the Ranger. https://mpowerlights.com/product/mpower-orv-chase-light-kit/ I tried emailing them to see if they have any plans for it, but never got a response.

The only advantage of the Lariat is the tow/payload rating, and maybe the toned-down looks if you're into that. Payload is very minimal, but towing will give you 2k lbs. more. As for the gas, you can also put 87 octane in the RRaptor, so that becomes a non-issue. I don't notice a difference with...

If you're getting 10mpg, you probably have a hole in your gas tank.

I owned a Tacoma and loved it. Thought I was a lifetime Taco owner, then I drove a 2021 Tacoma back to back with a 5G Ranger and there was no comparison. The Ranger had more power, nicer interior, and was overall more pleasant to drive. I ended up liking the 5G Ranger so much, I sold it to...
