Don’t look at the shifter when you are looking for reverse. There is a display on the dash screen right in front of you that shows which mode you are in.
In Australia our raptors are made in Thailand. I am extremely impressed with the quality of the build. Nothing loose no rattles no build issues
You’re spot on with the parking sensors…. It drives me crazy when I’m backing up and the cross traffic alert comes on because a car in front of me is driving by 🤬
Why do people obsess with bigger tires? Their more expensive, they make it louder, they make it harder to get into, it rubs, and it bottoms out. Big tires are STUPID unless you do one thing. Low speed rock crawling. And 99.7% of others dont.
😅
Wrong
One simple reason.. Because they’re Cool!
These darn young whipper snappers I tell you.
Nothing worse than a truck looking like it skipped leg day……..
I went to a bunch of different dealers recently to look at their truck offerings, Ford def stood out as having the best factory bed liner.
First time seeing a Ranger Raptor reviewed. I'm impressed with your Ranger Raptor from the color you selected to the overall design. I'm also a Big fan of It's high tech features. Awesome truck. Looking forward seeing you making some off roading runs
Thanks! 👍
Definitely something wrong with that cover mounting near the rear vision mirror. Mine is not like that.
Great to hear.. I’ll have to get it checked out then
Neither is mine
I posted before I read the comments definatly glad I got a later build. Once I got a build week my experiance with Ford was Awesome. The wait before then was hell. 😅
Thanks for you thoughts on the Raptor. Always informative.
Enjoy your new truck.
AM radio travels a significant distance compared to FM and Digital. Come to Australia - we need AM radio in remote areas otherwise you’ll never know what is going on in the world. Australia has the same landmass as the USA but we only have 28 million people not 300 million.
The Ranger Raptor might have been developed and tested in Australia but it is manufactured in Thailand. Sadly we don’t make cars here anymore.
The 33 inch tyres will allow you to get into top gear in auto rather than forcing it up manually.
Good review.
I agreed with your comments about getting the factory spray-in liner
It makes me happy to see that you have over 1000 miles on the truck and your average MPG is 13.2. I am just around 14 with 2000 miles and thought i was driving it hard. Always good to see that i'm not the only one getting sub 15 mpg. Awesome video. Your comment about the running boards making the truck look a little lower than it really is was spot on. i didn't notice that before but now i see it big time haha.
We have a fuel economy video coming.. It will do better that 13 :) but I cant stay out of it
Number 2 here to proclaim I just signed papers for my shelter green raptor ranger!!!!
Congrats!
Great video guys! I’m definitely bummed about the shifter and no real locker buttons but I think this is still king of the midsize trail trucks!
We agree!
Yes my Bronco collision sensors are a bit too sensitive.
Now my Ranger Raptor sensors for collision seem set pretty well. But lane departure just constantly fights me, or if I hold the wheel loosely to avoid the fight, it gets mad and thinks my hands are not on the wheel when they are. So I pretty much end up turning the lane keep off .
I love my Baby Raptor! After only a week the only thing I would like to see changed is the position of the My Menu items. My Menu could be off to the side and the speedometer or tach in the middle in the line of site would be better. Or better yet, let us decide what we want to be the focal point in the center. I have adapted to the mini shifter. Perfectly happy with the wheel/tire combo (we have 35's on our Bronco). Kinda like the bump in the middle of the dash where the speaker is (guess that is why we don't all drive Black Model A's). Only pop the hood to air up and am amazed at all the things connected that make me smile when I press the go pedal. And the hangy downy thingy at the mirror is locked in on mine.
Really nice video, I have one of these, my first ford. I'm down in Colombia and we get the euro spec engine with only 288bhp, which although significantly down from the USA / AUS is more than enough for these tyres on wet sealed roads. I've really been impressed with it so far, very comfortable on and off road, build quality is very good ( i dont have that problem with the mirror surround). Materials are ok, the sensors at the front I find a little slow, but the one thing I really dont like is the key. My other cars are Porsche and AMG and the number of times I have set the alarm off when either going to lock the vehicle or squashing it in my pocket when loading bikes in the back I have lost count of. I dont like the opening the drivers or passenger door does not open the whole thing, which means messing around with the key again to unlock the tail gate. However overall I'm very happy after 2000 miles.
I ordered mine on May 26th 2023 and waited almost a Year for delivery. I ended up not taking delivery because of the quality issues. The windshield had a bad Fishbowl distortion on the right side and as you said the loose cover over the windshield camera and shifter etc. I really did not like the way it drove on the street and for me most of my driving is on the street and only about 10% unimproved roads in the North GA mountain. The truck did ride great, and the engine and drivetrain are the bomb but for the price I feel an F-150 is a better option. I felt the truck should corner better on the street and yes I did try sport mode I drove the truck 50 miles before I decided to pass on it. To me it felt more like the F 250 I had in the past regarding cornering and breaking it was just not as nimble as I had hoped it would be.
I wish mine had power steps. Thatway they are tucked away and make truck look higher. How about a video showing how to remove the black fender flares? I want to pull mine off and paint them body color. Just want to make sure i don't break them when removing.
Beautiful looking truck Dave. That colour really suits it.
Thanks 👍
I agree about the top of the dash. They should have reused the hero switches from the Bronco
Hi Dave! Thank you 🙏 for another gem 💎 of a video! Very informative!
My Ranger Raptor is now in production ( Hot Pepper 🌶️ Red Metallic), and am looking forward to hitting the trails and the road in the vehicle 🚗!
Keep up the great work you are doing for us all my friend!
Thank you for the nice words.. you are in the hardest part of the ordering.. Feels like the truck will never move.. Stay strong is a great truck
I have been 2 weeks with mine full loaded XLT in azure gray. Love the thing but I do have that same issue with the cover in the rearview mirror, also a little gap in the right side of the radio. I checked another one and it was fine seems some of them have that gap but still Love it I just wish I had the 2.7
If you tuck the running boards up as you suggest, why are they even there? They will provide no assistance in entering or exiting. I'm 6'2" and the first thing I did was take them off my new '24 RR. I'm looking at installing electric running boards just because they go lower when the door is opened, making entry/exit much easier. You are correct however, the OEM running boards look nice and from that perspective, I didn't want to take them off.
Mine was ordered last July. Still hasn’t arrived and has been showing “being built” status for 3 months. Any insight on order to deliver timelines when the website is showing no movement?
Have you talked with your dealership? I know in production can show for a bit but generally once it’s built it should ship pretty quickly
Yes I have. They are as clueless as I am.
Just checked the peice near rearview mirror on mine. It moves like yours. Very disappointing. I've had my truck 9 days now.
Do you use the wireless charging with your phone?
I put my phone on it when I left the dealer 30 min later I lost car play, turned out the wireless charging overheated my phone and my phone shut down.
I have not used that charging pad since.
Yes I use it but will say it does get warm.
Great video. I am very excited to get mine. Do you know if they are limiting production on these. I have heard some dealers may only get one allocation this year. My dealer is small and they already ordered and delivered their first one this year. I am next, just hoping I can get mine scheduled before the next model year. I am worried the price will go up dramatically
Same fear here to
The initial run was every dealer gets one allocation but I know dealers are gaining more now..
Thanks For the Video Dave.
I’ve been waiting for this one. I haven’t had mine long enough to gather my thoughts on it. But I will say I definitely don’t like the running boards. I’m 6’2, they are just at that height of where they are either too low or too high for me.
Visually I don’t like the forward rake of the truck. But so far I am completely satisfied with mine
We have a few other things but it’s a fun truck.
⚖️ Thank you for sharing your story, much appreciated . Good reasonable comments, I think the tires are that particular size for better mpg, nice truck, however, your right about sharing Information to negotiate possibilities, open communications is essential to enhance quality and practicality . Thanks for the moral support 🎵
Hi Dave I am glad I got an April build over a Feb or March build. My plastic by the mirror is tight and no rattles. I agree on the bed liner. Awesome! I was 31 days from blend date to picking it up at the dealer here in Oregon. I love the shifter it is so easy to use. Takes a light touch...perfect. I use the steps and I wouldn't want them any higher. I have only owned 4X4 vehicles since 1974. Nothing matches the Baby Raptor. I do have a nit pick on the plastic around the mirror blocking windshield view. I'm sure Ford needs it for some reason. Question are you going to the Raptor Assault school?
We hope to go to the school this year
@@AllTerrainNation I am booked in late June. Would love to meet you in person if you end up in my class.
Great video as always
Thank you for watching
Wish drivers side had grab handle! Can it be aftermarket? I’d like you to investigate this!
I’ve been trying to find one to sit in… I’m 6”3’ and don’t know if my head would rub or not on the roof… thoughts?
I’m 5’8” so 🤣
I’m having so many quality issues with my 2024 Ranger raptor. I was so hyped for this truck but the only 300 miles and the issues keep piling on. Just to list a few:
-creaking dashboard. Anytime I hit even a slight bump it creaks, or even a sharp turn and it will creak. Anything other than a perfectly smooth road it creaks and it’s driving me crazy cus it’s creaking like 80% of my drive.
-Panel gaps everywhere, this effects being unable to close driver side doors unless I slam them. I’ve often found out the door wasn’t even closed when i came back to car cuz I didn’t slam it hard enough. Tailgate is misaligned as well. The hood has a big panel gap on one side vs other so has to be slammed pretty hard to shut just like doors.
-the dashboard pieces all have play in it, I’m fine with this but after spending over 60k I wouldn’t expect this
-so much rust under body, yes I guess a little rust is fine. But there’s too much, why is ford having such poor rust prevention? Never had this issue with any of the other new cars I’ve bought in my life
I think I read your post on fb.. Lots of issues
@@AllTerrainNation correct, now it’s at dealer and it’s a one month repair sadly. They have to take out the entire dash to find the squeak, they are redoing all the doors/hood at the body shop. Just surprised a brand new car needs all that done to get it to normal condition.
Alot of people including myself have rattles. Seems to be coming from the seat belts. If I buckle and take up the slack on all seat belts the rattle disappear. Hopefully ford can do something to fix that. Oh also had to remove the center console tray.
Also the roof is flimsy so be careful with car washes. GMC had to add stiffener for the same reason on colorado and canyons
I don't like big tires because they tend to bounce too much and make the ride more jittery. I also wish the steering wheel tilted a little lower.
like it still haven't seen one in person
I wish the lockers were a hard button vs the touch screen.
Non ventilated leather seats sucks for this of us who live in the desert.
The back seats don’t have ventilation vent through the console, and again that sucks for us desert dwellers.
A grab handle on the drivers side post would make getting in a little easier.
I wish the trailer plugs were next to the license plate vs under the bumper, they may get damaged off roading.
I’d probably put a 2” level kit on the front and maybe go to 34” tires when the factory tires wear out. A auto drop down step would clean up the look and be helpful for getting in and out.
Otherwise I think this truck is pretty close to perfect. I hope that all the tech doesn’t hurt the reliability of it.
I feel like Ford was trying to keep the costs down which may be why no cool seats.
The locker should be a real button
I love the size.
I plan on ordering one in the next 2-3 months and I'm torn between that shelter green and azure gray. I love how the green pops in the sun but have yet to see the gray in person.
Both were on our list..
@@AllTerrainNation what made you choose the green? Does the gray look to bland in person in your opinion?
@@bryy2053 we wanted the launch color with is a Ford Performance only color
IF this didn't exist and you had to recommend a mid-size off-roader for about the same(ish) $$ would you go Colorado ZR2 or a Tacoma TRD Off Road ?
I really like the ZR2 but more so the AT4X trim. Feels more premium v the Chevy. The Toyota will have better aftermarket options but no front locker. That’s a hard one to pick.
Will it fit 35s?
With some minor adjustments
Show us how it parks itself.
That panel is not a Ranger Raptor thing, its yours... mine is solid... get it done under warranty... ive noticed US missed out with a few things in your Raptors, you did get heated steering wheel but useless in Australia..and the rear window.. which i would never use...
Ford doesn't longer use engine cover in most pf engines now
You are being particularly picky tbh especially on the little like that side bars and speaker space ontop of the headunit..... I have owned mine for 2 months in Australia now, its been tuned by Herrod Performance, bigger intercooler and transcooler, full turbo back Tickford exhaust, process west air intake and putting out over 450HP at the wheels. These trucks are astounding for a midsize. Give it a few more months and mods.
Dont get us wrong we do love the truck..
Ford is quality job 1, or 2. My 22 bronco had lots of in a hurry problems, have seen less in the raptor. Still a problem for them but getting better
No 35s or pano roof in a "raptor" is a fail... 285/70s ARE NOT EVEN 33s! That's like a 32.5x11.50... I was looking for a smaller truck but I'll keep my 22 F150 yes with 35s and pano roof...
The new Tacoma doesn't have an engine cover either.
You forgot 1 Bad thing..................................................PRICE but i guess that includes ever truck now.
RAPTOR!!!! They are saving $8.00 / Ranger with a Stick over Struts... :(
I'll never get use to that infotainment. I'll get use to the vertical space in general, but not the on screen buttons. Software will never replace proper buttons for when you're driving a vehicle. You're either taking your eyes off the road or you're waiting until you come to a stop. No vent seats nor sunroof are also bummers coming from an AT4X.
Premium price does not equal premium quality these days...especially in a FORD. Every manufacturer is making crappier vehicles that do not last as long, more tech, and charging a small fortune. Planned obsolescence.
This sounds really picky, but I HATE the Raptor graphics. They look cheap and tacky. This is an expensive vehicle. Why can’t Ford put a more refined Raptor logo on the truck?
I also hate the red accents in the interior. It also looks cheap and tacky.
The crazy look has always been part of what makes a Raptor a Raptor but I understand its not for everyone
