Agree on tires. Wish they were 35s with proper lift and wheel well support. They should also be a 30 offset to match the fender flares. Only thing I like more on ZR2 Bison.
Hopefully they can add the mirrors to memory over an update.
Mirrors can be folded with “fingerprint” lock on door handle. Automatically unfolds on unlock.
The back seat warning can be disabled in the settings. The seat belt status on start stays on the screen way too long.
The vents are actually under the seats. They aren’t on center console nor do they have their own controls but every passenger I’ve had in the back seats said they felt adequately cool on hot days.
Not trying to be an apologist for any flaws but many can be mitigated. My biggest gripe is the wireless car play. It is better than when I first got the truck a month ago but Spotify has no audio and calls don’t have audio at least twice a week. Ford has acknowledged issues with car play and android auto and don’t plan to have a fix until next year.
Dude this is great!! I pinned your comment bc you just taught me a ton. I will definitely make an update video and share these points!
I do strongly believe they're gnna come out with a 35" package like they did with the gen 3 raptor. My assumption is MY26 it becomes an option
To be fair f150 raptor doesn’t really have 35’s on it either they are slightly smaller
Maybe 35" will certainly from a ranger raptor R
Full size raptor has 35" options 37"
@@geestang2662 they aren’t true 35’s just like on the ranger they aren’t true 33’s
Serious nit picking geeze.
Hard to find things I don't like! Love this thing
I disagree.
I find videos like this funny. This tells me you did zero research prior to buying this truck. Also: "this truck has too much tech". Also him: "this truck doesn't have AC seats". 😂
Because he already owned both the Gen 1 & 2 Raptors and assumed similarities and I probably would too. The R.Raptor has AC vents in the rear; not visible but it's under the rear seats.
Most valid thing is ventilated seats and rear vents. Everything else my guy was just shooting from the hip
Haha touche! Hard to find things to not like. Trucks amazing
You have a worldwide spec truck, of course it won't have 35" tyres.
the mirrors can be made to fold when you lock the doors
Didn't know that! Gnna have to get that setup asap
I just got mine yesterday. Love it so far. I turned the back seat setting off. Also the mirrors can be set to fold when locked. I agree totally about the AC seats. The back seat has vents under the front seats. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing man, congrats! What color? I really need to dig into the settings and fix those things
@@DavidFigs Azure Gray. I got the spray in bed liner and key pad along with the remote retractable bed cover.
@bigbawls81 great spec man! Congrats again!
For the mirrors, u can set it to fold/unfold when u lock/unlock the vehicle via the settings
U can turn the reminder to check rear passengers notification from the settings too.
I agree with the lack of ventilated seats though, but for my area, the AC is enough. Was surprised abt no rear AC in the US spec though, cos the rest of the world have theirs
Glad I made this video bc I probably wouldn't have dug through the settings to find that. Ty!
Excited to see if they fix all of these on 2025's. I will still not be buying one any time soon but I think there is a lot of room for improvement. My biggest gripes are lack of sun roof and ventilated seats at that price.
FYI the reminder to check the back seat is configurable in the settings. Also, I picked up my brand new Ranger Raptor 2 days ago and I absolutely LOVE this thing!
Oh, and 1 thing I don't like is the fake engine sound they pump through the speakers.
I really haven't spent time in the settings at all. Ty!!
put your exhaust in baja mode and you can’t hear the engine. 🤷🏻♂️
they probably made it that way to avoid additional regulations involved with it being classified as commercial. I know in California we have a crazy high commercial vehicle tax on registration. So i’m sure people here are glad it’s .1” short.
I really think it was on purpose for the 33" tires for the next year's 35" or even 37" package as their marketing strategy, and I can almost guarantee they'll relocate the rear AC vent on the next generation from under the seat. But considering the other competition, I think the Ranger Raptor is still the better truck. I got my standard Raptor last year and was considering the Ranger Raptor, but I couldn't wait. However, if they upgrade certain specs, as you mentioned I again will consider the Ranger Raptor and might trade in the F150 Raptor when it gets to a certain milage. Don't get me wrong, I love the full size.
Lol got message today be September before for my build, not far 2 on lot my dealer checking on, yeah vent thing stinks I’m in Mississippi and have a dog
How hard do you think it will be to fit 35s?
The Aussies have figured it out. My gut says 35" K03s (since they run small and are not true 35"s) w/ the right offset wheels, 2.5" perch collars and removing the crash bar should be sufficient.
Hoping to try that stuff out soon!
Valid points
F150 raptor and ranger raptor is two different trucks...
Kinda agree with the AC seats but the rear missing air vents its not a big deal the vents are under the front seats are have been more than enough for my rear passengers in 113 F Temps down here in South Texas. The Width thing is because this is a global truck, other countries don’t have big ass roads like we do. You can turn off the rear seat reminder so that’s not an issue either, compared to my Tesla the tech in this truck is ancient but that’s ok because it’s a completely different animal.
I didn't know there were vents under the front seats for the rear! Good to know
The tire they did was actually smart and helps with performance! You put 35's and you're gonna need a tune i think. The mirror thing sounded funny, my wife's 2022 Toyota 4runner doesn't have folding mirrors 😅 but honestly thats the last thing were worried about since its a true offroader.. the ac vents i agree 💯 percent and think that was just being lazy on ford! The width thing they did that on purpose or why would anyone buy the raptor over this.! Im messing with ya, i know you love this truck. Im actually looking too order one in the next couple of weeks. The dealership near me has a few allocations and when i was looking at one in person i asked the sales guy about mark-ups he told me they're not allowed too do that at that dealership and i can get one for 55,000.00-58,000 fully optioned and comes with oil changes and a detail!!
Thanks for the response and get that RR!! You're gnna love it!
If you look at it from an upsell perspective, the F-150 raptor has more cabin space and more luxory. So why not leave stuff like ventilated seats out and say, "here mr customer, if you want ventilated seats, where have this over there, and it's just $15k more epensive".
@@thomasroell5255 more like 20K lol. Quite a up charge.
Nobody needs AC seats and I live in GA
Agree, my kids asked me to turn off the ac bc they were cold in the back. Having said that for a 55k truck when gen 1-3 have it, shocked it's not standard
Bro its a ranger, not the full size
Cost that’s why!
Are you having buyers remorse at all? I currently Own a gen 1 and strongly considering the RR. However, all those points you make I agree with and makes me scratch my head a little. Also live in VA so definitely gets hot and have a little one that would be in the back seat.
Not having buying remorse at all! Just wanted to call a few things out after living with the truck for 3 weeks.
If you need the room of a gen 1 then you're gnna miss that. If you don't, it's a perfect package
@@DavidFigs I like the room of the gen 1 mostly for passengers in the back but wouldn't say I need it. I'm a little tall so driver side leg room is probably most important. Thanks for the feedback👊
@blazing2557 I have a buddy whose 6'3 and sat in the backseat no problem, not great but fits fine.
Find a bronco and jump into it, cabin size is almost identical
Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts! It's helpful to know the downsides of the new 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor. We sent you an email, check it out!
AC seats… 🤦♂️, never heard it described like this before 😅
Gen 1 and gen 2 raptor had ac seats 😏
@@DavidFigs They are heated or cooled seats. The AC system is not flowing through the seats themselves. Just pushing air through them.
Only important reason is -
It’s a Ford 😂
😂
Ventilated seats!!!... you guys in the US are getting soft.... In Australia we don't care about stuff like that...and the alarm about the back seat passengers..you can turn that off permanently
Gen 1, gen 2, and gen 3 raptors have ventilated seats! Your comment about getting soft is pretty accurate😂
Poor video. Needs better research. The difference in terms of horse power is due to the different/longer exhaust system. Does it matter ? No clue, what matters is the dyno-numbers. Bronco Raptor is 323 Ranger Raptor is 349 (both numbers from Hennessey). The tech ... really ? You can disable the beeping for the rear passengers, easy to find setting. IMHO this truck is spot on with tech, perhaps even on the light side. Width ... really ? The whole point of the Ranger Raptor is that it's not a ungodly big F-150 Raptor, so why bickering about the 0.2 inches that it's short of 80, for what reason again ? Lights ? Bigger tires, again, for what ? Ford spliced the market into the Baja segement (F-150 Raptor), Rock Crawling segment (Bronco Raptor) and Rally segement (Ranger Raptor). Why is 33 vs 35 such a big issue, when the product for this segment is called "Brono Raptor" ?
Your points, well put, especially agree with the "tech" -way too much for a what the truck is made for, really most trucks.
I'm kind of at a loss. You went and bought the vehicle and then just took a dump on it. If you don't like it that much just sell it. Life's too short for that garbage
I guess I didn't so a good job explaining that these are so minor and nit picky to find faults. I love this truck
Ugh oh 😮
Don't worry I got 5 things I love coming soon!
Wow…
My man you should save yourself all the money you spend on the truck or any other truck... Just get yourself a donkey... It can park itself... And no tech.... Lol...
Come in it is what it is... Deal with that...!
Trade in your range if your crying about it.. OMG🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Good morning sir
A question to ask
Make 🤔Mexico or American
Made in Michigan
