Jim is worth his weight in gold. When I heard him say how much he liked working on vehicles in the rain and that's when he did most of the work on my BRaptor. I realize I owe him at least another beer.
Good old zip tie will fix that from accidentally unplugging. I've went through sand both beach and sand dunes, even Hell's revenge with no issues. Glad you tried the water and mud before me 😅. Still love this little truck. Just needs cooled or ventilated seats for the southern heat. Guess the people in Detroit only worry about cold weather and not 100+ degree summer days in the south
It has a zip tie and doesn’t fix the problem unfortunately. Overall, it’s a fun truck! I always recommend staying out of the mud cuz it’s a pain to clean 🤪
Also this couldn’t possibly feel more scripted as a ploy to sell the product you managed to design, fabricate, (hopefully) test, and post on the internet prior to uploading this video. The “oh crap” and “oh my” reactions were very unnatural and poorly executed. “The last couple hours have kinda been stressed filled” was the nail in the coffin for me. I’m not saying this is all just a marketing scheme, but it sure felt like a marketing scheme.
I have a Ranger Raptor in Australia and i have bought a steel aftermarket protection kit for the those sensors and have never had a problem with mine...
@robertb7254 they were made to protect the sensors in Australia we protect as much as we can...it's the 1st time I have heard of the plug coming out....
@@robertb7254 Plugs never come out. Feel asif this video was fabricated, we have had the ranger raptor for over 2 years in Australia and this issue with the plug unplugging itself has NEVER happened.
Such a bummer. In two months I have put on a couple thousand miles on mine. I have jumped it several times, smashed it through some whoops and g-outs, and slipped and slides all through some loose high speed sections. I’m actually shocked that I have barely kissed the steps and not hit anything else, even on the 33s. The bronco raptor was definitely rowdier, but so far I actually enjoy off-roading this more and especially on roading this more as it’s quicker and better as a daily. All that being said it’s a ford, I’m sure I’ll experience some glitches and or some recalls very soon lol. Good luck out there!
Aaaaaand here we go. I've been watching and reviewing NUMEROUS videos regarding the RR and like some have mentioned, how in the hell does Ford create such a vehicle for it to have fault like that? I'm waitng to see how you DIY fix this or protect it from ware and tear.
We ended up making a guard, so far so good! buckleupoffroad.com/products/buckle-up-off-road-trailing-arm-sensor-protector-and-skid-plate-for-2024-ford-ranger-raptor-set-of-2-made-in-usa
There are companies that already make protection for all the sensors on the outside and underneath the truck. Unfortunately, they are not cheap. GMF4x4 in AUS is one of them.
"Breaking-In: Your vehicle requires a break-in period. For the first 1,000 mi (1,600 km), avoid driving at high speeds, heavy braking, aggressive shifting or using your vehicle to tow. During this time, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics."Jun 3, 2024. In addition an engine requires a warmup period before going full throttle. Why? Engine oil is needed to reach the upper cylinder to avoid damage and seizure. it's just too painful watching this channel.
You are going to have to get used to this.the sensers are allways going to be a problem.my bronco raptor who I beat the shit out of took it like a champ.but I was plagued with sensor issues.and the losers that talk about ford no one makes a vehicle like this no one! So laugh all yiu want its the very best truck on the market by alot! Maybe you losers are not noticing the issues with the new tundra.the new tacoma.the chevy zr2 bison in a pos.ford destroys everything in most catigories!
Yeah I ended up making some! buckleupoffroad.com/products/buckle-up-off-road-trailing-arm-sensor-protector-and-skid-plate-for-2024-ford-ranger-raptor-set-of-2-made-in-usa
Wow. Ford engineers FAIL again. They need to fix this issue under warranty for all Rangers. This is inexcusable to leave a connector exposed to the elements.

Trailing arm sensors? Really? Do they give you a dash screen message that the arms are trailing? And the sensors aren’t weatherproof? On and over landing vehicle. Jim Farley disappoints again.
Well it's anecdotal but I have Had my RR in much more difficult terrain and mud and water with no issues yet, I enjoy it more than my bronco and my F150 Raptor overall.
Im glad you were honest enough to post this. Most people would decide otherwise as it would hurt their egos, especially bias Ford owners. Hopefully, Fords not half assing these builds and throwing a tag on em because its a beautiful truck.
I was off roading yesterday and for the first time ever my Bronco Badlands on a trail and the dash lit up like a christmas tree of fault codes. Sta-bar disconnect fault, ABS fault, Traction control fault, etc... But the bronco just kept driving in 4hi. And when I got home the bronco had cleared all the codes on it's own and my Ford Pass app showed zero issues and no faults with the vehicle.. Is it possible it's a software and glitch and there's nothing wrong with anything??
Could be. Depending what you were doing, if you get mud on your traffic sensors, it can make your dash light up like a Christmas tree. If you’re not having further problems, it is probably something like that or a glitch. Glad to hear you’re using it though! 😀 happy trails!
I made one! buckleupoffroad.com/products/buckle-up-off-road-trailing-arm-sensor-protector-and-skid-plate-for-2024-ford-ranger-raptor-set-of-2-made-in-usa
It’s a great truck. Thanks for posting your video and creating a part to prevent the issue. Can we ask what trail that is you went to? Maybe I missed if you mentioned it in the video
They should have mounted the sensor the other way so the water flow wouldn’t tend to pull the sensor off. Just use a zip tie to hold it on. No big deal. Looked fun off-roading though
Sorry mate you’re wrong. We’ve been taking these through deep water for the last two years and no issues. With the forward facing air intake a snorkel is a worthwhile investment.
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV add a extra zip tie across the connectors from end to end so it can’t be unplugged unless you cut the zip tie. Use a long skinny one
Absolutely astonishing that Ford would manufacture the vehicle with sensors that can be so easily disconnected, especially a Raptor. I'm sure you and Jimmy will have a fix for it, but you shouldn't have to. Not for such an expensive truck. Regardless, keep smiling, it will get better.😊
Thanks! We did come up with something, here is a link to the masterpiece 😂😂 buckleupoffroad.com/products/buckle-up-off-road-trailing-arm-sensor-protector-and-skid-plate-for-2024-ford-ranger-raptor-set-of-2-made-in-usa
@BuckleUpButtercupTV all you are doing is dragging out the loser ford haters.every truck out there has issues but these losers just have to say something when it's a ford.I will never understand these whiners.
@@casper24ism lol I have a Ford, homie. Rona 2022 Expedition. Glitchy as hell so when I get excited about something new like the Bronco or Ranger Raptor these videos keep me grounded in not buying another Ford product even though I've owned 5 Fords. Hater my backside.
