First 24' Ranger Raptors start to roll

Anyone have a good article on this?

Just can't fall in love with the looks. Waaay too bland relative to others in the segment. Already looks dated.

Mechanical chops are definitely solid.

The new Ranger is just so darned ugly. Compared to the GM and Toyota competition is is as bland as hell. Even the Raptor version is bland. I would not own either of the competition, but I would pass on this as well if I were in the market. Of course, until Ford gets with it and truly fixes the issues with the 10-speed AT transmissions, I am going to pass on anything with it. It is why I got rid of the 2019 Ranger that I spent a bunch of money on and loved otherwise.

Now if the Bronco's 7-speed manual were an option... Another story.

If you prefer and prioritize boy-racer looks with scoops and intakes over actual performance, OK, but ironic on this site. Everything 'looks data' when the new model came out, how did you like the prior Tundra or Colorado? Let me guess, they 'look dated' now....

Dislike the reg ranger, but really like the Ranger Raptor. Unfortunately, I feel they are over priced. Plus the ****ery that Ford likes to play with availability, makes it a pass for me.

Bad ass truck. @13COBRA what are these going to sell for?

I have this one coming in for a customer, I sold it to him for MSRP. It'll more than likely (99.999999% sure) be my only 2024 allocation. My first 2025 is going to @Outlaw99.

Wow, ok. Hell of a lot more affordable than a Bronco Raptor. Less truck, yes I get it, but much cheaper nonetheless.

And about 40% less than a Bronco Raptor

Looked at the Ford website to check it out. Looks OK, but not for me. One thing that did catch my attention is that it does not even come with the Raptor decals. Ford wants $750 for those. How does that even make sense? Like ordering a sammich at the deli and being charged extra for the bread to put the pastrami on.

Take it easy brotha, just a humble opinion, which is what forums are all about.

Those boy racer looks will sell a whole helluva lot better that this Raptor. Performance is certainly debatable.

I’ll tell you guys firsthand…. We’re building ALOT of ranger raptors.
Not sure if it’s just for ramp up/launch… but it should be easy enough to get one.
Same with Braptors

That's not what we're seeing at all or what we've been told from Ford. Do you have a production number total?

Gotta at least be doing 100/day 10% blend if I had to guess, and we’re going into a 3rd shift come June so that will add even more capacity.

Just really began ramping the 1st of this month.

That's at least triple what we've been told if that's true.

The Ranger Raptor absolutely does come with the "Raptor" decals on each side of the bed. It's $750 for that hideous digital splash decal option.

This one looks better than what Toyota and Nissan and maybe Chevrolet are offering but the weight. Holy moly.

All EB’s. SMH.
