    I feel like a complete idiot. I didn’t have the auto time update switch turned on so every time I turned off the truck the clock would revert back to whatever time zone they originally programmed it for. Flipped on that switch and everything is perfect now.

    It’s under warranty. Dome Lights .Bring it to the dealer if you can’t figure it out. It’s probably something simple. I wouldn’t touch the fuses. That’s what warranty is for. Good luck.

    I own a ramger raptor myself. The lights need to be fixed in the dealership, something is wrong from factory it is not ur fault. As for the R button: chose the setting you like (for example you can put it in sport mode to have the gas pedal sensitivity high and better gear changes, then put the suspension in normal, steering wheel in comfort, traction off, and then keep the R button held down for a few seconds and it saves it all) So next time u want these exact settings you just double tap the R button and you are ready to go.

      That’s a good point about crap getting under mats, I had the decked system in my gladiator and when I took it out there were a bunch of rotting leaves and stuff, fortunately I had a spray in bedliner in that so it was an easy clean up.

      Thanks for the comment. I already took it in and got the lights fixed, it was a connector up under the dome light apparently. I love the sport mode and the baja off... i havne't done the manual mode yet, i traded an M3 for this so i'm just thinking it wont have teh same feel. i'm shocked at the differences in the Raptor trim between different markets... you get painted drive shafts and locking fuel door and we get a power sliding window... i'm gonna have to make a list of all these differences.

    As a Gen 1 Raptor owner, it looks like a baby Raptor, and that's fine.
    For the bed, don't do a spray in liner. If you need to put something in there worthwhile, you run the risk of scratching whatever you put in the bed. I went with a bed rug and couldn't be happier. I have hauled furniture, computers, and other items and never worried about them getting damaged. Highly recommended.

    • @flaberdoopin
      @flaberdoopin  7 месяцев назад +1

      Right on... it is absolutely solutly a baby raptor! i live near DC and wanted something smaller than a full size and i love the fact that the space between the wheel wells in the bed is 48" because of wider wheelbase... i can fit plywood in my ranger bed without having to build up a frame to keep it above the wheelwells. I was considering a bed rug, i will look into that. is it easy to take in and out if you need to load up a scoop of mulch or something like that?

      So carpet mat is easier to remove and install but I've but bigger and heavier items in the 2019 Ranger and a spray-in to me is key. I will say Fords dealership has to due it right though. They did mine and it peeled away why I loaded a motorcycle. They had to re-due it and it was noticeable. Factory spray I've never seen that happen. Lots of things to consider for sure. Best of luck to each person's new adventure in their Ranger.

    Your interior lights are probably off their is a + and - buttons by your headlight switch to dim the interior lights it may be pushed off push the + to brighten them and that should turn them back on. Make sure the overhead light switch is not disable too. My Rangers lights where off in the interior and pressing the plus + button next to the lights made them come on again. You may have to have the truck on to turn them back on make sure the over head light switch is on.

    Awesome Car❤❤❤
    If the lights won't turn on maybe you need to check the setting there might switch off. If still persist go to your local Ford dealership and complain it. Surely it covers in Warranty. I also watch your other video about bluetooth connection. You should also complain that too. I also notice here owner of Ranger Raptor that it disconnect bluetooth. This is globally issue not just you and Ford should fix this issue.
    I notice you don't have a bedliner. Here in the Philippines its all in package it has bedliner. But there is no window on the rear as I see you open it. The price of the Ranger Raptor Bi Turbo Diesel is 2.339M Pesos. Ranger Raptor 3.0 V6 is not available in our Country. I don't know why Ford did not bring here to see the performance of V6. I am pretty sure rich people would buy that V6 Ranger Raptor. The price might be 3.5M to 4M Pesos

When you turn the truck off, does the seat go all the way back? My 2018 fusion had that, and I loved it. My 2021 Ranger doesn't and really want it back.
