I have 5000 miles on my Raptor, averaging 15.9 - 16.0 MPG on the east coast In normal driving mode. Sad thing is mine is a rock magnet. In less than 2500 miles, 2 rocks and 1 windshield. I drive typically 8 above speed limit. I know if may not make a difference on the juice, but I only run...
Try TrailRax or Turn off road for a half rack. You can keep the rack on and still take the roof off. Should easily fit your skis on it. I had the TrailRax on my 2 door, and had my Maxtrax boards on the roof along with my surf fishing rods. I plan on buying a half rack for the Raptor this...
I absolutely loved my 2-door Badlands. Put 22K miles on it in just over a year, and that 2.7L engine was a beast. Selling it was tough and it will definitely be missed.
Fast forward to the very next day after selling the Badlands. I stumbled upon a 2023 Code Orange Raptor with only 2,400 miles...
I had it on my 2022 Badlands. Great Bull Bar! I actually am waiting for a new one to be delivered for my 2023 Raptor. DV8 has some real good quality and easy to install.
Bringing this beast home soon! Sold my 2022, 2 door Badlands 1/21/25 on consignment, the next day 1/22/25 bought this beautiful 2023 Raptor. Got one heck of a deal! Less than 2500 miles, OG MSRP sticker $93,740. Waiting on some window tint and ceramic coat before bringing her home!
Well it’s been a blast! I will absolutely miss my 2 door badlands! I hope the next owner enjoys her as much as I did! As an avid car guy, I decided to sell the BMW M3 and the 2 door Badlands for 1 vehicle. So I cross pollinated the 2 rides and will soon have a 2023 Bronco Raptor. Got a deal...
If anyone is interested in a Beautiful 2 door at a great price, check out Cosmo Motors in Hickory, NC! All Highway miles, southern Garage Princess. Lots of pictures in my build. Not easy letting this whip go. Can only look forward to a Bronco Raptor in my near future.
I purchased my lights and all wiring from SPV, John is top notch on everything. Heck I just spent another grand on lights and harnesses for a Ford Bronco Raptor that I have not even bought yet. Black Friday deals…
Love the blacked out look! You should get a sticker overlay for the FORD emblem on the tailgate that will cover the chrome and blue. Below is what I did on mine (I went with white race stripes and white badges on my Badlands, so black and white sticker overlay on the Ford was the route I...
I second spending a day at the Biltmore Estate and winery. It’s definitely worth seeing, several restaurants on site, taste some wine and just relax.
It’s a 6 inch difference in wheelbase between the 2 door (100-inch wheelbase) and the 4 door (116-inch wheelbase). I think your choice will come down to what you prefer. My 4 door Jeep Wrangler was a white knuckle beast, meaning when it was really windy, my knuckles were white because I was...
Added the TrailRax half rack recently. I went with the TrailRax half rack so I can take the roof off easier. Wanted to bring fishing poles on trips and possibly install a pelican box for extra storage. Was averaging 19.4 MPG combined without rack; after 16 hour round trip to Florida with...
Added SPV front marker lights today! They are smoke color, so they blend in nicely during the daytime. Since I already had the headlight adaptor for the backlit Rigid pod lights, it was a plug and play with a Y adaptor to add these 3 lights.
Install wasn’t too horrible, had to take grill off then the black back plastic behind the grill on the Badlands Pkg to get the lights in (small screws behind the grill). Easy plug and play with the existing light harness from SPV from the Rigid light set-up. I’m still thinking about ordering...
