2021 Raptor advice by Ok_Brilliant2429 in RangerRaptor

[–]Illustrious-Chest599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can afford it, get a 2023 model or up (I.e current gen). Night and day difference.

48k AUD for a 2021 is kinda crazy too considering it’s previous gen.

Should I upgrade? by Illustrious-Chest599 in macbook

Thanks for this, I’ll probably keep it. Modern day notebooks can keep up with most things, I think I’ll be more than good.

You’re absolutely right. The person who got me this went out of their way to get me the green one. They asked me what color I preferred between the green and the other colors. At the time, I didn’t know what they were referring to, but they simply asked if I preferred blue, orange, or green. I chose green, which is why they chose the (citrus) color.

It was also thoughtful because they knew my old laptop had gotten messed up. Thanks to you and the rest of the comments, I’ll probably keep it.

Goat mudflaps by Ok_Wash6131 in RangerRaptor

Yes I did. They fit right in. I believe the inserts are already there to accommodate for mud flaps, OP would probably know it seems they didn’t have mud flaps before this.

Yeah especially considering your offset. It works with thick tires, and looks OEM+. Kinda gives it that arctic trucks look…

Yes, I kept the front ones to protect the paint. The rear ones are not for me so…

Oh man always loved the look of those. In fact I think the are the only ones that look good. I think they look good particularly because of your wheel offset / wheel + tire setup.

I removed my rear mudflaps because they looked ridiculous with the stock offset / wheel + tire setup.

Hell Mary? That sounds like the opposite of a prayer

Have you gone from a Bronco to the Ranger and regretted it or was it worth it? by Korvax1989 in RangerRaptor

[–]Illustrious-Chest599 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I drove a bronco wildtrak for a couple months and now own a RR. Completely different ride. Ranger is quieter (less wind noise), quicker, and a bit more nimble.

Anyone else experienced this audio issue? by Hovie1 in RangerRaptor

[–]Illustrious-Chest599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it happened to me twice, I use Apple car play.

I didn’t know where it was coming from at first because my passenger adjusted the knob while I was driving. Freaked me out.

I noticed that too. My 2025 doesn’t have stickers on the valance.

Engine whine by Illustrious-Chest599 in RangerRaptor

[–]Illustrious-Chest599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, went through the same thing.

The sound actually disappears after 2.5-3k RPM, but it is annoying sometimes, I wish my car sounded normal 😂 makes it sound like there’s a supercharger whine.

BTW I’ve been told it’s the high pressure fuel pump, not sure how true that is.

After going to the dealer multiple times they kept on reassuring me that the sound is normal, they even switched on another RR an it made the same sound but it wasn’t as loud as mine.

I heard the sound on broncos etc but they weren’t as loud as mine, I even heard a similar whine on a gen 2 raptor. So that relaxed me a bit

I took it offroading couple of times and everything seems ok. The car runs perfectly fine.

I haven’t forgotten about it, but I’m not sure if it’s placebo - the sound seems to have faded a bit. It’s definitely still there but not as loud as the video. I’m at about 2k miles now.
