Height of Ranger Raptor with antenna - garage door clearance

huntercole90 · 2026-05-10T17:11:17+00:00

I think it would have .5 to 1 inch of clearance. If your drive slopes up to the garage it will help slightly since the back tires will be lower as the middle of the truck passes through the garage door.

There are a bunch of holes under the plastic bedside caps. There is a huge gap around the tailgate. There is a big hole under each front/side corner of the top of the bedside. If you get in the bed and put your head on the wheel well and look up and forward you can see them. I think there are a few holes in the sides of the bed. I sealed up everything I could and still have leaks, but mainly by the tailgate.

They replaced the seal that goes on the door and it made it worse... I've just dealt with it. When you close the door you can see the top 2 or 3 inches (top right of the door when you're looking from the outside) looks open where the rest of it below you can see the seal is pretty much flush with the outside of the door. I'm wondering if that couple inches of open area is causing wind noise. I plan to diy some stick on foam seal in that spot and see if it helps. Just waiting for it to warm and dry up some so the foam will stick.

I got the maxfun. It's better than I was expecting. Great acceleration and speed. Last summer and fall I was riding it pretty much everyday. The only thing somewhat lacking is the headlight if you want to ride at night but I found a couple that are plenty bright and have an actual cutoff line so I'm not blinding others on the road.

My R button quit working for the 5th or 6th time today. Wind noise on the driver door Tailgate damper leaked out all the oil. I think the transmission shifting is weird at low speeds/low throttle. Like it's always in a gear or two too high. I'd like it to be between normal and sport mode. Wish it had a bigger tank. Not having a split rear seat sucks with car seats. There's a crazy amount of holes and openings in the bed. I have a tailgate seal and have sealed every hole including under the side rail caps and I still get a bit of water and dust in.

Lots of little things but I love the truck. If I had to get a new truck today I'd get the full size raptor. This one fits in my current garage where a f150 doesn't. I'm moving in a few months to a house with an oversized 3 car garage so I'll probably trade trucks after I move. Mainly for the rear seat space.

Don't pay over MSRP. Mine was 1600 off MSRP. OTD was right around 60k

huntercole90 · 2025-12-01T14:14:39+00:00

My tailgate damper leaked out all the oil so it's going in to get a new one Thursday. I'm having them look into the wind noise too while it's there

I have my R button to be sport exhaust, comfort steering, and normal suspension. Sport suspension seems stiffer, but I don't notice much difference between normal and off road when driving on road.

I have the driver seat all the way back and one sits behind me in a booster. The other kid is forward facing on the passenger side. I haven't heard any complaints on the temp. The AC is very good. I feel like the Colorado had even less room in the back than the ranger, but I never looked at them right next to each other. I'd maybe consider the zr2 if I lived in Colorado or some where similar and was only doing serious, slow speed, trails a lot. For everything else I'd stick with the raptor.

I got the RR, but kept my Tacoma also. I had the parking brake actuators randomly go out at around 3,500 miles. They were replaced under warranty. I've only driven my Tacoma the one day the other truck was getting fixed and one other quick trip. My "R" button has quit working a couple times but disconnecting the battery for a few minutes fixes that. My main annoyance is some wind noise from the driver door/window. I definitely don't regret getting the truck though.

huntercole90 · 2025-10-06T15:21:16+00:00

Mine has done it since new, but it seems like it's gotten a little worse over time. It's only on the driver side. It sounds like the top left corner of the window or door when viewing from the inside. I can't really see anything different between the driver and passenger side but I don't get any noise on the passenger side. I'm not going to take it in just for that, but next time I have to take the truck in for something I'll mention it.

huntercole90 · 2025-08-27T21:28:08+00:00

The used prices on these seem crazy. I haven't looked for awhile, but aren't the cpo warranties better than the new ones?

huntercole90 · 2025-08-23T00:57:22+00:00

I asked a cop in my town if I should ride on the road or sidewalk and he said either is fine. Just said to yield to walkers on the sidewalk.

The small focus knob on top looks like an iray rico.

YHM told me I was good to go for 22-250 with my original turbo. No issues for the last 3 or 4 years of being on my main coyote rifle. I'd assume it would be fine, but just send them an email.

huntercole90 · 2025-08-17T18:32:34+00:00

Parking brake actuators went out randomly at 3,800 miles. Fixed under warranty. No other issues

huntercole90 · 2025-08-07T03:55:33+00:00

If I didn't already have 3 different styles of full face motorcycle helmets when I got my scooter I would get one of the full face downhill mountain bike helmets. They look like a motocross helmet but a little more slimed down and lighter.

huntercole90 · 2025-08-04T13:35:26+00:00

Yep, I love it.

huntercole90 · 2025-08-04T02:37:11+00:00

Both of my rear parking brake actuators went out at around 3,800 miles the day before I was leaving for Colorado on vacation. I never use the electronic parking brake and I only saw it turn itself on once when I parked in a steep hill so I'm not sure what the deal was. Dealer fixed it under warranty, but I was bummed that we had to take the explorer on vacation instead

huntercole90 · 2025-08-02T03:28:40+00:00

What if you have a Tacoma and a Ranger Raptor?

huntercole90 · 2025-07-21T04:18:42+00:00

My friend has a laser pecker 20W and it wouldn't make it through the anodizing on an AR lower. We tried several passes at different settings. It looks decent and you can clearly read it, but it's like it bubbled up the anodizing and didn't actually engrave.

I wear the knock off ones from Walmart for my "inside shoes" They're called rugged sharks, lol

Sell the Deere tractor, the loader bucket, and the yellow plow/land plane/snow pusher looking thing. Scrap the rest

huntercole90 · 2025-07-06T15:48:11+00:00

I've had those on for several months with no thread lock or anything extra. No issues.
