Thank you guys again for covering interior in detail, ease of entry / exit, seat comfort, knee room all that good stuff. To me having things like a B pillar crammed in my shoulder or knees bumping the dash or hard seats, are all deal breakers for me. Great job guys.

Beautiful truck, not worth $57,000 though.

I absolutely LOVE Red vehicles. My last pickup was a 11 Ranger XLT super cab 4WD. We bought it used with only 20K miles. It was Silver. (We Hate Silver, Grey, Charcoal Grey and Black), but we bought it for $6K less than book price. It was mainly used for work around our property. I wanted to break up the Silver, so I had it 2 toned in Red metallic from the lower belt line down. It also had Gloomy Grey and Death Black interior so I had it reupholstered in Red with black trim and stitching. Everyone complimented me on what a beautiful truck it was. I sold it right before I bought my 23 Tacoma TRD double cab, 6’ bed with Premium and Technology pkgs. The Ranger had custom wheels, A/T tires, a K&N intake, Flowmaster exhaust, a LineX spray in bed liner, tonneau cover, running boards and red pinstripes, rear air shocks. It booked out for $22K and I sold it for $28K. It had only 36K miles. It looked show room new. The very first week of ownership with my 23 Tacoma, I installed a K&N cold air intake, a FlowMaster FlowFX turn down exhaust system. It’s White and I’m saving up to have it 2 toned as well in Barcelona Red metallic that will follow the body lines of my Tacoma. I’m currently waiting for Katzkin to finish making TRD Red seat covers with Black trim and stitching. After Katzkin removes the factory Black Leather seat covers and installs the TRD Red, my buddy is buying the Black Leather for his 23 TRD that has Grey cloth interior. I wish that my truck would have been painted the Barcelona Red, but finding any Tacoma TRD Off Road double cab with a 6’ bed and the Premium and Technology pkgs are VERY hard to find. Furthermore I bought my 23 on 2/29/24. It was the dealerships owners truck with 6K miles. It booked for $51,848, but I bought it for $48K. I had been looking all over WA state and Idaho for the truck I wanted in Barcelona Red for almost a year, so I grabbed the one I bought. If I could have found one in Barcelona Red, I would have had it 2 toned in Tan metallic. By the time I’m finished with my White TRD, it too will be a 1 of a kind like my old Ranger. Thanks for letting this old duffer ramble. I Love your new Ranger. I’m sure that you will enjoy it very much. I hope it doesn’t break down as fast as your Blue 24 Tacoma did. Cheers !

I laughed and bought from another dealer and then took it to the oversticker dealer for service (it was closer) I always would pop my head in the finance guy (of the over sticker dealer) and say hello and nothing more.

Nice truck TFL!

I looked a few days ago, and in MD there were 2 of these at nearby dealers with $10k markups. Another dealer nearby had a black one at MSRP.

From the Brighton Ford website it looks like they are one of those dealerships charging markups over MSRP for Ranger Raptors and Bronco Raptors. Glad you guys got the hookup but it would be worth calling them out on the fact that if you aren’t somehow connected they will stick it to you on the price. The way I look at it, they can make some extra scratch by selling these few vehicles over MSRP to folks with more money then brains but in doing so they are also tarnishing their image and reputation. It’s their shop and their rules, but I hope people will remember how they put extra profit ahead of reputation since that will probably come into play one day when a customer needs service. Are they going to go that extra mile for the customer or will they, as evidenced here, put all their effort into wringing out a few extra bucks?

They also kitted them out just like what is done to Jeep Rubicons for overlanding and extensive winterization but done to compact trucks and they use them like Raptors but in a smaller easier to maneuver Maverick configuration for the local off-road trails. The Mavericks work GREAT as a compact 4x4 off-road truck. The unibody construction is NOT an issue! You can put fog lights, light bars, winches and heavy duty bumpers and bush bars with some proper welding of structural reinforcing members. Not that expensive to do either! V

Good looking truck. Nice specs.

Do you know if the NEW KO3s have the option of raised white letters?

Granger Ford in Iowa offers dealer invoice minus 2% to anyone willing to pick up a phone and drive to Iowa for pickup. I just bought by F350 Tremor there and had the best experience. They are high volume and can get anything you want. Send in your order sheet then pick it up when it arrives. Bypass the high markup dealers and bypass MSRP. Ask for Chip. They also deal in Dodge/jeep/Chrysler with the same deal invoice minus 2 percent. Never a markup, perfect customer service, no upselling no gimmicks

@@AJourneyOfYourSoul Very welcome. I am constantly surprised by the comments about dealer markup when places like Granger exist. They also deal in Dodge/jeep products with the same deal.

@@marklihsu You don't buy off the lot, They order whatever you want. Vehicles on the lot are a different story. Ask for Chip and he can walk you through it but basically you go to the Ford site and configure your vehicle. Send it to them and they will tell you exactly what their price is compared to MSRP and if you agree they place an order with Ford for you. I saved 8k off MSRP. Vehicles on the lot are handled separately.

It will always be just a baby Raptor. Just bought a Chevy Silverado maybe just a little bit jealous😂😂but I had the opportunity to buy one for the same price 57+ and chose the Chevy over the Ranger it is great bang for your buck . My truck cost a good bit more unfortunately.

Is it electronically speed limited with the off road tires?

Paid that much for a truck and you still have to prop the hood open... My 1995 Grand Prix didn't even have a hood prop. My 06 GMC Sierra Z71 doesn't have a hood prop either...

My 2016 Canyon has gas struts on both sides of the hood. I guess Ford was trying to reduce weight by installing a hood prop. I assume the prop rod is made of titanium, right?

Struts fail. You bought a 95 Grand Prix. Not sure you should be giving car advice.

@@danielrn133 can't complain about free. My mother gave me the thing when I turned 17. If anything complain about her choice in vehicles. It was a decent car for what it was. The sad POS is still rolling around in East TN so it couldn't have been that bad. Got it with 55k on the clock and gave it to my brother in law when it had 160k. He sold it to some fat old guy I worked with back in the day. He kicked it and his son is driving it around haha.

No bedliner at that price??

It is an extra 400 plus dollars option from Ford. Probably extra time to ship if they went with that option.

Bedliner from the manufacturers are really not great quality. Very thin and scratch up easily. Better off going with deal or aftermarket sprayed liner
