Great and beautiful scenery. Funny. I did this in 1996 in LR Discovery SE7 with 5 speed manual.

Great drone shots! New subscriber!

How awesome ! What brand tub cage are you using? Looks the goods

Absolutely gorgeous scenery, this area looks simply stunning!

So awesome. Great video! I am not able to make it out for my class so i am letting my dad go. He will be out there in 3 weeks. I hope he has a ton of fun. I have taken my truck on a lot of trails already. Only thing i haven’t been able to do is get on a dirt track where i can go all out.

Every KZbin guy using wirenuts, zipties, and electrical tape..... Get some wire loom wrapping, heatshrink, and a soldering iron.

With regards to rust I had problems with my Ranger Raptor Gen 1 (I am in Europe). Corrosion protection is practically non-existent on the ladder frame and other chassis parts. Especially living in an area with salted roads during winter, I wish I had put some proper protection earlier. Those Ranger Raptors where built in South Africa, now Gen 2 in Thailand (for Europe and RoW). Not sure about US models, probably built in the USA? But when I look at your video, what I can see from the ladder frame surface, I bet there is not much corrosion protection, too. I would watch it.

Just bough one built in July. Qc looking much better than the earlier builds.

Thanks for this video. I tried installing this same cover this afternoon before walking away frustrated. Tomorrow I will attempt again with this new knowledge.

I plan on splicing into side markers, as no legal issue with them here. My setup has an inline fuse, so not worried about that.

Lube is your friend! 😂😂

Super clean results! Best I've seen.

That looked like fun!

You got me. I was in truck 8. It was a blast.

Well done! I'm on my third week of ownership and looking forward to scheduling a trip out there as well... how would you rate the overall experience?

Lovely video, nicely put together!

Im also in market for a hard tonneau for my RR. Thx for your instsll video. However adter wstching you struggle with firment, i may look at other top brands. Cheers

Don’t you connect wire to battery at all

Our favorite nighttime hide and seek spot.

On a scale from one to ten, how much nicer is the long hwy drive experience between your Ranger and your Wrangler? My Wrangler makes me cringe when thinking about hwy driving...

Moved office to a $40M building three years ago. On the surface, everything looks nice. Upon closer inspection, there are so many low quality details that I wonder how anyone looked at their work and said to themselves “This is definitely what my customer wants.” It’s like this everywhere. People don’t build things, they don’t craft them. They assemble parts. Materials keep get cheaper, and to keep costs low, so must labor get cheaper. The result is that labor is mostly unskilled now. Apart from inserting tab A into slot B they have no idea what they’re doing and no control over the final product even if they do. If you pay labor more, you cut down the costs through the materials. Now apply the formula to each supplier. This is why Ford builds $60k-$100k trucks with atrocious panel gaps and buggy electronics. We simply can’t or don’t want to pay for anyone to get things perfect.

Interesting sounds like there a very few minor control problems and I'm sure Ford will sort it out but I can say here in Australia as yet the Rangers so far have 99 percent perfection ive purchased the Ranger Wildtrack and its 100percent spot on

Well I appreciate tour honest opinion

Nice install video. So if I understand correctly these are powered on by the switch panel in the headliner??? Are they always on ?

Mine had 2 flaws. Right rear plastic fender flare had a deep cut in it. And the AC had "no refrigerent" according to the dealer. Will wait a couple weeks, if the AC stops working again, its clearly a LEAK. mine came with 41 miles.

I have the same brand for my F150 Raptor but had little or no issues installing mines. It's a matter of deciphering the written instructions that are vague like sliding in the clamps on the rail but first removing the end cap; otherwise it's really nice and solid. We have a lot of rain and the scorching sun here in Floriday and to keep it from fading, spray and wipe it down with hybrid ceramic on a regular basis. I had it for about a year now and looks as if I installed yesterday.

I bought the Ranger Raptor in Carbonized Gray a couple of months ago myself. Just added the BakFlip MX4 and put the drain hose through the punch outs like you did. Fits like a glove and no issues with the install. I do get a little water in the rear tailgate sides when I go through the car wash, but certainly not enough to worry about. Good luck with you RR and you Gator.

Great video and thank you!

great install. can you give us a link to the lights you got please?

Look how far that boat ramp at Hite is from the water now !

Looks great! How did you do the tow hooks? Remove and paint yourself or buy new?

Fantastic job, this looks really cool!

Great job with this video- this is the first mod I plan on doing once my raptor gets delivered

Looks good I got the same lights on my Ranger raptor

You don’t get the foot wells on the bottom side of the bed as standard equipment for the price of that truck ….?

Why are tail lamp lenses not clear …I love that the Ranger has Amber Turn lamps but you can’t see them on this truck??

Totally agree that they should have ventilated seats as an option or standard on their higher trim levels. Heads up display is something I'd also want and surprised it's not included with this Raptor. Other mid-size pickups have both as an options.

Did you dump the Jeep?

I was lucky…. I got rid of mine last week. It was not a quality build. The tech was glitching all over the place. The paint quality was awful The gaps in the truck body was crazy I could keep going but I’m not …..😂😅😂😅

I just ordered a RR a few weeks ago from my local favorite dealership. No deposit needed, no dealership doc fees, no obligation to buy, and NO MARKUP! If I choose to not take delivery they will just sell it to the next person that walks in the door so it's a win-win for all. The one caveat is that I would be potentially be trading in my 2023 F150 Raptor. The RR, on the surface, seems to be a better fit for my life currently as the price point is much better (potentially up to $200 less per month in payment). I also live in a urban/suburban area in New England so the size appears refreshing...it will be nice to be able to drive into a touchless automated car wash again for a quick cleaning. I am also curious about the omission of the ventilated seats. Wondering if it is an engineering issue as you can't get them in the Bronco Raptor either and those approach $100K. My F150 has them. Comfort is an issue for me too. I'm 6'3" normal build. Most of the reviews I have seen are from folks that claim to be exactly 6' tall or below (I did find one where the dude said he was 6'4" and claimed to fit comfortably). I'm in no rush to get delivery. Regardless of what happens I will be still drive home from the dealership in a Raptor. Cheers

Nice that you got all those details down before making this useless video!

Mine doesn’t have the rattle or the unevenness over the infotainment, my tailgate gap is there but doesn’t seem as bad as yours, same with hood. Agree with you on ac seats and lack of storage. The controls are typical raptor across all of them. Only issue I have is my infotainment screen sometimes doesn’t boot and I have to restart the truck. Where did you get the red front tow hook red covers and center console tray? I love that grey, mine is black but it hides the agressive lines that show up nicely on your truck.

People are so spoiled these days complaining about leather seats that are not cooled. They used to never be cooled even when it was a luxury vehicle. This is one of the reasons why I have never liked leather seats. Miss the days when you could chose leather or cloth seats at any trim level. These Days, leather is the only choice on higher trim levels.

Ford leading in recalls by a country mile

Did u paint tow hooks on front?

I appreciate videos like this because it reminds me why I do not buy first year models.

Give it five years before I’d get one of these but yeah very nice.

My RR has a build date of 04/24 also and is still on a quality hold. I would not be happy with the tailgate gaps and the little humps in the orange part of the seats. Did you get mud flaps? Looks like there are on the front and not on the back. Great video by the way!

Still way better than my Toyota Hilux, rattles all over, squeeks, and tupperware interior. Everything just feels cheap and dated. Well done Ford, this is next level💪
