I have not seen that but I suspect it's coming for both the F150 and the Ranger. The only reason I didn't get a powerboost F150 is because they don't have enough payload capacity. Otherwise it's perfect for me and camping.

Out here I have no issues with this truck. If I lived in say Portland again that might be a different story. But out here the town was designed around big trucks. Seriously at least 75%+ of vehicles on the road here are trucks and suvs with a large majority of trucks being HD ones. It's all orchards, ranches, and farms here so everyone has one. Like I said before, on the street I live on, I think maybe 1 person doesn't have a truck in their driveway or garage. Many have more than 1. The offroad stuff here is also a mix of forests and open desert so the raptor fits right in.

Going in to get the tint fixed tomorrow. Going to have them do 20% on the fronts. Factory is like 24% on the rears and you can go to 24 here in Washington

This is pretty cool. Doesn't have the front and rear for the new Ranger Raptor though.

It does have the previous version though. That one was within an inch or so of the current one.

Pretty cool overlay there.

So Ranger Raptor then

Got an up close look in the parking lot at Whole Foods the other day... I actually like it more than I expected.

New tint. Matches rear and fixes scratches/cuts

That truck looks familiar...

Looks terrible you should send it to me to, uhh, take care of

Debating on if I should spend the money on tires. Currently have duratracs which are OK with about 50% tread left, but never been a fan of the tire in general. Maybe get KO3s with a warranty.

So new tires being installed tomorrow?

General grabbers are good too!

Consensus on raptor forums leans toward the KO3s. Were built and designed from the factory for ko2s so the KO3s are a great upgrade.

I had them on the avalanche. Not impressed. Cooper discovery’s are way better.

Got my plates today. Kind of want to do a custom plate, but no idea what. Also never did one on the vette like I have been thinking.

loved grabbers on the forester, but i think the falkens on my lexus are better

I had toyo on the 250, falkens on the outback, ko2 on the cherokee. Honestly loved the ko2. Never had a problem and the ko3 is an improvement on the design.

Just not sure if I want to spend the $2k right now

I feel like the KO series has been really over hyped. IMO they lean too far for off-roading but if you're doing that much off-roading there's better choices

I feel like this statement doesn't belong in a thread of this title

Also been toying around with this idea. Engine is plenty as is, but the 10 speed has a lot to be desired and this is the highest recommended aftermarket tuner.

Problem is its not the end of the world if I leave it as is, but it does annoy me. I'd say about 1 out of every 3-4 trips it shifts weird and bothers me.

Just not sure if worth it just to fix an annoyance and not a real issue.
