This video of the Maximum towing capacity of a Ranger Raptor (W/ Ford Performance Tune) in 90 deg + temps is very impressive. For what the ranger raptor is and to be able to tow max capacity under these conditions is almost unreal.

Will the TUNED Ford Ranger Raptor Fail The Extreme TFL Toaster Towing Test?

Save up to $1,300 on a Ford or Mopar (RAM, Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler) extended factory warranty for your new vehicle at Granger Motors! Ford: https://www.grange...

Thanks @NastyGT500 . The way I see it. Its better than not having nothing. Otherwise someone could make off with your spare in minutes.

Nice decision! Let the fun begin. Congratulations on taking delivery. That Ranger Raptor looks really nice. I love those tires/wheels on the Raptor. Perfect IMO.

 

[Vinnie_B]

Going for big power?

I haven't decided on the extreme yet, these 3.0 TT engines have no proven longevity. No doubt they put out power but how much for how long is the big question! Going with an ecu swap allows you more tuning options for aftermarket components imo. Those 2 bolt mains are concerning on how much abuse they can take outside the stock boost /405 hp rating.

Im coming up for a oil change soon (1000 mi) flush. I'm going with Amsoil 5W-30 Signature series. It comes with the filter and the O-rings to replace on the oil assembly canister if anyone is interested. Kit was $103.00 (7 quarts oil, Filter W/ 3 O-rings)

If you not a preferred customer its $129.00


If you're not a preferred customer sign up. The savings are worth it. I'll be changing my oil every 3000 mi. I know I can go probable to 5k with this oil easily but I'm doing 3K oil change intervals.
