Yeah, I just saw your thread there. Man, what a difference a proper detailing makes.

How’s the ride quality? Ive read it’s on the stiffer side.

You have several dampening options to choose from. Its comparable to a F150 Raptor, just tighter and more nimble. I would say its dang near a Cadillac as far as a pickup truck goes. Coming from a Tundra TRD pro, it is a different universe.

Thanks for the insight.
I’ve owned 7 F150 Raptors, currently driving a Braptor.
I have read the RR was on the harsher side, but the truck still peaks my interest.
The only vehicle that was ever comparable to the comfort of my previous F150 Raptors was my TRX.
Unfortunately it was a lemon.

I think the Ranger Raptor gets that because of it's shorter wheelbase and lighter weight. I think they drive really nice.

Ford is having a Memorial Day sale, 20% off. I used that and my Ford points and just bought the ProCal tuner for my RR!!

Install sometime soon! Want to dump the oil/filter shortly as I like to do it around 1000 miles on new/fresh builds/vehicles for piece of mind.

Looks sweet!! I'm sure you'll love it even more with the Procal!
How is the fuel economy vs fuel tank size? I've read some guys say it drinks pretty heavy and the fuel tank doesn't hold a lot. Not a deal breaker, just curious if its a PITA.

Also a little random, I saw these pics of one with 1.25" bolt on wheel spacers.
It looks pretty good with the wheels pushed out closer to the flare edge.
I know people have strong opinions on them, but I've run quality BORA wheel spacers on 4 different vehicles for years and thousands of miles with no issues. Most factory wheels have reliefs on the back side adjacent to the lug holes, so there is no need to trim the studs.
Something to consider.

That actually, to my eyes, looks perfect. I'm also liking that white paint.

I was getting around town approx 18mpg. Highway on the way home was 15-16'ish. Tank is a bit small, be cool if it was a bit bigger, but it wasn't that big a deal. Just keep an eye on it during road trips.

Spacers are on my list!!! Thanks for that, it does look good with them!
