Traded my M3 for 2024 Ranger Raptor (Shelter Green)!

[KayaPayaPigDog]

I spoke with Ford Performance at the PRI show and there is a tune coming for both the BrAPTOR and the RR. The rep told me the "mid range" feel is greatly improved.

That is fantastic news! my dealership didn't know much about these trucks... I figured I would ask my questions here rather than chance it there. I have found that in general, I tend to know more about the specific car that I want to buy than most of the sales men / women I have worked with.

Can’t wait for the tunes. I’m gonna leave my Ranger Raptor stock for a while, and probably do intercooler and tune on my Bronco Raptor instead. I’m hoping to eake out a little better mileage because I want the Ranger to tow an overland trailer, and since the Bronco has less tow capacity, might as well go crazy with it instead, maybe 40s. We also have a 18 Shelby Raptor Baja 525 that has the intercooler and tune, it’s awesome, way better than stock. Another Raptor we have is a 2013 Shelby Raptor Baja700 that has a whipple supercharged 6.2 and crazy suspension from Shelby, it’s on another level, and only maybe 20 made, so it’s a showroom queen now. Can’t wait to feel the difference, if I ever get mine down here in Texas lol

Nice Stable! This is my first "real truck" and one i plan to daily drive. We had a Ridgeline (Gen1), my buddy called it a "gateway" vehicle - the truck you buy before you buy a real truck. Then I owned a Maverick (pictured) for three weeks until my son asked to buy it to replace the 240K Ridgeline. Sold it to him and have had the RR in my sights since the ROW launch. May will bring good things! After seeing and liking the iconic Silver on the Mav I chose it for the RR.

Heck yea, it was the opposite for me, my first truck was a 2012 f350 powerstroke, followed by our 2017 platinum dually. This will be the first modern midsize we get, but we have a SEMA prerunner long travel 94 Ranger, and we’re building a 72 Bronco with a blown Coyote and roadstershop rs4 frame right now. We’re also hellcat swapping our 2wd 84 d150, and putting a LS crate 525 in our Jeep MJ. We also have two more roadstershop chassis for two of our 69 mustangs, with our whimbledon white one getting a kasse boss 9. You’d probably also like our 03 Mach 1 we Coyote swapped with a whipple. I like iconic silver, but opted for azure grey for mine, kinda a sucker for metallics. Can’t freaking wait, I’ve been wanting to go to Moab and have been waiting for something cheaper to take.

Love it! Kasse Boss 9 is the MOTOR! I went to the Roadster shop party in Vegas during SEMA. Who's who of the auto world. We share a similar affliction. The 03 Cobra and Miata are mine. Not my garage.... The 2020 is also ours.

I went in an traded my M3 for mine yesterday. I didn't have an order in for it and i just got extremely lucky. Sales man took some pictures of it coming off the truck and i was there the next morning when they opened. ended up paying 2,000 over MSRP but to me that is acceptable. I get that some think any markup is not okay but i wanted the truck and didn't want to wait a year plus... had to do the same thing for my Focus RS when it came out. One of the few on the roads in Northern Virginia at the moment.

Love the color! Congrats on your new truck!

Niiiiiiice! Been waiting to see a Shelter Green out in the wild. I'm sure pics never do it justice but I like what I'm seeing. Can't wait!

They really don't. It is a green metallic in the sun and fades a little at night until light hits it.
Love mine!!!

Me too! Was parked at Scheel's in mine the other day and a F150 Raptor in Shelter Green parked right next to me. Was interesting but I think the Ranger wears it better.
