You won't regret the seat of the pants feel of the additional power. You must use 91 or higher octane fuel, so a fill up will cost you more.
In baja or sport mode, the car is vastly better. But even in normal driving mode, there is a burst of power that is much improved.
H3R tailgate mount. Great company to deal with- I overtightened one of the bottle mounts and broke it. Sent them an email and they replaced the bracket with expedited shipping at no cost.
I have their extinguishers on my Raptor, my ‘75 Bronco, my rock crawler and my RZR. Good stuff!
I did meet a guy in NC last summer with 3" collars, 1" body lift and 40s on his Raptor. He used it on the trails and it had the battle scars to prove it (video too). It may not tackle some of the big trails at Windrock like a purpose built buggy, but he would give it a try.
Good review.
Can't wait to see someone swap out the center console on their pre-2025 Bronco to see how hard it is to add the rear air.
The phone charger on my '23 is useless anyway, so I don't feel that is a loss, but is overcome by the addition of real rear HVAC.
To be clear- I think Ford built the most capable platform across all types of off-road. It scores high in rock crawling, higher speed baja runs, as well as overlanding... AND is an excellent streetable vehicle. Alot of this can be said for the Bronco platform in general (with the Sasquatch and...
I have to say, a Bronco Raptor will not be used by everyone here as Ford seemingly intended it to be built for. We don't all live in or near the open, vast desert-like terrain of the southwestern part of the country. If I did- I would likely be looking at options to retain the ability to hit...
i don’t know about full price, but the could give me one as a warranty upgrade for the top they are about to replace. I would shell out the difference.
yeah- this is certainly a worst case, but delaminating doesn’t stop when it cracks.
for what it’s worth- I was in the camp that this was a minimal issue until it happened on mine and I went down the rabbit hole. Ford will never publish data, so it is wild speculation.
Being an operational...
I picked up the KC spare tire bracket- it was on sale and cheap at the time. I used a couple of Flex Era 1 lights I had in my garage. I will have to get a pic of my setup.
I like the bracket and will modify it to move my license plate there eventually. The lights aren't great. They are spots...
I haven't- the message was laden with Sarcasm where so many on here say this isn't a big issue. It does seem that once the problem appears, it gets worse with time, not better. Would you expect this not to be a possible end result??
If it is 20-30% of tops that have some issue, we will see...
Didn’t happen- these tops are fine and never crack unless it’s the owners fault…. Just ask around here a little.
OK- sarcasm… I have an appointment next Friday to have my 11 month old top replaced due to cracks.
hope they can work something out for you- poor design
Was quoted $180 by a local dealer for my Raptor. But he said I had to buy the Procal from him at $850. I bought it online for under $700 delivered and installed it myself. You just don't want an unlikely power loss during install.
In regards to the warranty- I spoke with two different dealers...
I tried mounting small bags on the Molle and while they seem useful, the seatbacks are not practical if you intend to have anyone ride in the back other than small children.
My young teenagers wouldn't fit if anything were strapped to the seats, nevermind an adult.
I'm not a tire expert by any means. I quoted Discount Tire's website which is what their technicians read from as well- I have run into this before with them and had to get them to measure my rims on another vehicle.
You are correct Nitto's website does show 9" for the 38x13.5R17. Where Toyo...
discount tire strictly follows manufacturers guidelines on recommended wheel width. Most of the tires in this thread (13.5 wide) are listed at 8.5“-12.0” or 8.5”-12.5” width wheels.
stock Raptor wheel is 8.5” so they will mount them And there should be no problem. You will likely need to run...
I installed this about a week ago. With normal driving, I see slightly improved gas mileage... but its too fun not to run in Baja mode. It is a great seat of the pants change in driveability!!
Sorry- Meant that you would have to change brand to find something in a 'D'. Going heavier in a load rating should not be a problem, but again 'rules'. You could try a different tire store to see what they would allow. All the popular tires appear to be load range E (BFG, Toyo, Nitto, etc)...
They have their 'rules' they must follow.
Load Range E is for a heavy truck and will likely ride like a Jeep... (LOL). Most of these sizes are in the D/E range to cover the biggest buying audience. There are alot of 'D' range ties in that size. Check them out on Discount Tire website.
