Following up. I got the Ford Performance programmer from Lethal Performance for $600 and some change. Prepped the tuner per instructions. All I had to do was find a local ASE certified mechanic to press the install button. Paid him $40 for his ASE number on the repair order stating all the...

My Ford Performance Tuner should show up tomorrow. I wanted to get a few miles (36xx presently) on the Raptoy before I did it.

Had the brain fog too. Get those T levels up to 950-1100. :cool:

Congrats @Outlaw99 !!

Are you installing it yourself? I'm definitely getting it. Just don't know if I'm sidestepping the dealership or not.

Full paint correction and ceramic coat were priced together. I think it was around $2200 from a reputable detailer here.

First oi change at 18xx miles in the books. MC 5W-30 Full Syn - 7 qts FL2062A oil filter $69 from Rockauto Easy job. Oil filter is a canister type like the GT500 but located on the top of the motor. Remove a skid plate and the drain plug is right there. No need for ramps. No mess.

It is not fulltime 4WD. I drive it around in 2H. 4A, 4H, 4L are available. Yes 1st gear is 4.71. 7th gear is 1:1. Gotta watch your ass on slippery pavement. I guess that's why they have a slippery drive mode...

Performance Upgrade Available for Ranger, Bronco Raptors; Raptor Rally Attendees Get Discount  DEARBORN, MI, August 29, 2024 – Ford engineers have delivered significant low-end torque and horsepower improvements to the 3.0-liter EcoBoost® engine in the Ranger Raptor and Bronco Raptor thanks to a...

Firm downshifts under braking stands out. Can get the occasional odd clunk from 2-1 or 3-2. Not sure. Upshifting is outstanding, imo. Upshifting it scoots quick from 1-3. It can hold 3 a little longer as it accelerates. But it really depends on how much pedal you're inputting. I've never...

1300 miles on the RAPTOY.

Some new Ranger Raptor owners complain about the drivers door specifically being hard to shut and the seat bottom leather not as taught as it should be. I think the door closes like a truck door. It takes a little more effort and I guess I'm just not that picky about a couple of leather...

Wow 4.5 miles... I waited with my 500 till after I crossed 100 miles. I'll probably do a WOT to the Ranger Rap soon.

On the Hwy I observed 17-18 traveling home (100 miles) from the dealership in Normal Mode. In town in Sport Mode, it drinks. The truck is just really fun to get on it a bit. I've only got 450 miles on it so I have not gone WOT yet. I'll check it in more depth next week. I've filled it up...

Sport Mode is the SH**. Throttle response, HP, gearing and shift points... I was also pleasantly surprised that the truck remained in Sport Mode when I went out to start it this morning. Downside is fuel consumption. Lol. But this truck is a hoot to drive.

Some more pics

Back from getting Expel PPF on the front half and just before the rear wheels. Full paint correction and ceramic.

Expel XR Plus tint and a stubby antenna today.

It's a hit! I love it. I realize I'm still in the honeymoon phase, but I've bought a few new vehicles to know. It scoots. It soaks up the bumps and is a pretty smooth ride. Very comfortable seats. Best cab room of any midsize. It feels not much smaller than a F-150, even tho it is. It's...

So, my story goes... My son is a Marine stationed in Hawaii, and I was using his 4-door Colorado 4x4 LT as a daily commuter to work. Back in January, he informed me that after 4 years in Hawaii, he was getting stationed in AZ come August. He's coming home for leave in July and then going to...

Thank you. I wanted to get "Iconic1 and Iconic2" vanity plates for the 500 and Raptor respectively but Iconic1 is taken in TX. So went with RAPTOY instead.
