The Long RANGER RAPTOR for ever and ever my friend. 💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸
Had a 145lt LongRanger tank on the dmax for 9 years without a single issue
Bloody awesome reputation 👍🏼
Around 500 miles, not bad for the thirsty beast.
Looks good mate good on you for supporting a local business should be more of it one day you might have as much fuel capacity, as the FJ 😅😅
Hahaha I probably use it three times as quick 😂👍🏼⛽️⛽️⛽️⛽️⛽️
35's are turning slower than 33's over the same distance. Therefore, the odometer will actually show kilometers that are less than actually covered.
That’s a crazy fuel tank 👌🏽
Plenty of fuel !
Anaheim 1 mate! 👍
Gally's vision is fruitful 😊
800kms from a 140lt tank. That’s rough. Gotta pay to play I guess. I used forscan on a PX2 to configure the larger tank. Worked sweet no issues. It’s good to have the gauge working correctly, no doubt the car nerds will work it out soon.
Playing is expensive 😂
Gauge works as per factory it’s just DTE reading that’s a firmware thing calculated to 80L tank. Ford will need to update it in the over the air updates for Raptor.
@@TyFenwick Yeah that’s weird if the gauge is working correctly but DTE no good. They must calculate DTE differently now. If it’s calibrated to a 140lt tank and gauge works sweet u would think DTE would be good too.
One day you will play with the gods
Great video. Keen to do this one day.
How do you manage 15L/100 driving like that haha
I just smile and wave 👋🏼 😂
Please post an update here, also, when you have more information on if the instrument panel shows a longer range for the larger fuel cell. As well assd if you are able to come up with some other solution as to how to more accurately display the fuel level and distance till empty. I don't have instagram, so I won't see any updates there. Also, how much does this cost please? The website does not say. I am VERY interested in this product. Thanks for posting!
Get the contract Ty for World Motocross back to Aus 👍
Count us in for the Raptor Run!
Copy that !!! 😆👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I hope you find a work around for the DTE. I'd been keen to buy the tank also but would really like the gauge to work properly.
Yep the gauge works on the screen as the fuel goes down it’s just the DTE that Ford will need to change in the Firmware updates.
Try EZ lynk. I used one on on my 2019 f250 when I put the S and B filters tank on. It took maybe 5 mins to reprogram.
Great channel Ty, I have an orange one - absolutely love it - did ford manage to sort the dte yet to your knowledge?
love the raptor content mate, keep them coming! what's the cost of supply and fit?
Around $1650 I think and $400 or so for fitment
If you need to ask , u cannot afford one
@@tyzon00800 well I actually have a 24 raptor dick! So guess I can afford it
Would appreciate a detailed video from you on Forscan when you get a chance. Can you adjust the speedo to be accurate with your 35’s?
Will do
Great vid can you give a ruff price thax😊
$1656 for tank I think and around $400 for install.
Any motocross kid out there watching this. Keep your vision. Even if you dont have a bike, make tracks, watch the best. That passion will never leave you
does anyone know the situation for the bronco sport like realistically what is the largest gas tank can you fit under it
Ty what do you need to do to make the fuel gauge work correctly? Did the DTE end up working? Thanks.
Hi mate,
Unfortunately you can't get the DTE to work as its an internal Ford software thing. We have tried everything but nothing has worked. However the guage still works.
It looks like Frankentank but I guess no alternative. Why Ford didn’t maximise the available space is beyond frustrating given their intended market.
How did you go with the fuel gauge calibrating the extra fuel load ? Does it work it out automatically?
The fuel gauge works as normal but DTE I’m still working on. Looking to see if we can change it when vehicle gets tuned here soon.
Hey @TyFenwick any reason you chose to go long ranger steel over the ARB Frontier Polymer tank?
There is no ARB tank for raptor. They only do it for the diesel Rangers.
What about spray lining the new tank with Rhino/Line-X??
Yeah I guess you could if you wanted to.
I'm a little concerned about the break over angle. Looks like the front bottom of the tank would catch obstacles before the frame
Never been an issue, tank is very well tucked up. Been fitted for a while now no issues with that sort of thing.
@@TyFenwick I see. Have you gone over a big ledge enough to test ground clearance? About 2 or 3 feet vertical drop that would be a good test.
Fast track
Any chance they’ll start offering tanks for the USA versions, or do they fit exactly the same?
I think the tank is exactly the same. Call your local ARB dealer ask for Longer Ranger fuel tanks.
Hei there,
i saw u have mounted some ditch lights, wer u get the brackets from?
GMF brackets with Lazer Lamp lights
thanks man
@@TyFenwick
Great video. What's the legalities with these? Do they need mod plating or engineering ?
No mod plates or engineering.
Is that just nsw or what,? Would be a totally fuller Information session giving this basic info state to state and regarding engineering and mod plating. My interpretation is qld may need some form of Inspection or mod plate to be good with insurance and the likes.
@@Muckinhellx4 Qld does need a Compliance Plate for the modification. ARB look after this if you get them to install it (mod plate cost approx $150)
Someone has land that'l put their hand up! Just get Aus Motorcycle on-board 👍
Hi. Who software is used on that laptop? Great video
Forscan software
Hi. Did the reset to 140 liters work on the trip computer?
Are you able to order and they shipped to your house? Or was it like? Do you have to be there? I have a 2024 ford ranger raptor I was planning to get a bigger tank as well
Best to get your local ARB store to install
One question: Did you change the Springs because of the extra weight?
And what about ground clearance, any changes with the new tank?
No need to change anything
Hi Ty, I have the long ranger installed on my Raptor and tried to get Ford to recalibrate it. They advised that they dont have the capability yet. How did your recalibration using Forscan go?
I’ve personally spoken to Ford engineers and they are not doing fuel capacity calibration on Raptor at this stage. It’s a software thing that only they can fix. I’ve just left mine as it.
@@TyFenwick Thanks for getting back to me. Its a bit frustrating with the gauging in that when it says 80 klm left it only takes 90 litres to fully refuel.
What do you estimate the reduction in clearance. Didn’t do before/after on mine but I’m certain I’ve lost clearance. Guessing about 50mm. Maybe more. Can confirm they’re robust. Mines taken a few hits and has probably lost a few L’s of capacity with a big ding in the underside….
It looks to be not much I don’t think compared to stock. To many pros in my opinion not to fit the tank, not stoping for fuel every second day is awesome.
@@TyFenwick absolutely agree!
No where else to channel the appreciation. Sorry Ty
Without Gally, Gypsie tales would be replacing clutches
Is this additional tank, or you’re replacing the factory tank?
Did you watch the video ?
any issues with the raptor since owning it ?
Nothing so far… been awesome!
40 +1
Any updates on the distance to empty issue ?
DTE can’t be calibrated unfortunately it’s a ford software issue. Gauge works as normal and say around 580ks till empty. So once you use that top extra
Amount of fuel it operates normally.
hey mate so the DTE still doesn't work with the long range tank then. have you tried going to ford themselves to do the software fix?
I’ve personally msged the engineer from Ford. They won’t change it as it’s a steel tank in a petrol car and has not crash tested. Only tank that can be done is the V6 diesel tanks from ARB.
@@TyFenwick yeah wow that's a bummer then having to rely on the trip counter to roughly track kms. would of thought a major company like arb would have a tested petrol tank for the raptor by now. is what it is i guess. thanks for the information
400klm extra 👍
How much heavier is the long range?
All specs should be on their website, almost no difference.
Hi. Did you weigh both of them? Weight is a big concern For these rigs.
Bugger all difference
i believe there is a problem with the fuel guage after fitting the lager tank ?
No problem with fuel gauge. The DTE is a algorithm in the Ford Firmware so it only recognises a 80L tank and calculates accordingly. Unless Ford changes it to work with bigger tanks, it just takes long for the gauge to move down now while your driving. About 800ks you’ll get
Can confirm no real issues. Gauge reads full first couple hundred Ks. DTE sits at what it would be with 80L full tank. After it gets below 80L DTE is accurate if you keep your avg L/100 consistent! I just reset trip every time I fill to get a gauge on how much I’ve used in the intervening period until DTE reads right.
Can someone clear something up for me please. One of the 2 company's I've found that imports this tank to the US, site says will NOT fit the Ranger Raptor, but the title of this video says otherwise. Which is correct?
There could be differences with AUS raptor VS American raptor. Long ranger build many different tanks, the one you’re looking at might be for the standard Ranger.
Any distributors in Alaska?
Possibly ARB ???
This is one of your US fans. Is this going to be available in the US? I have looked at the website and I’m very interested in the upgraded skid. I will be smashing it in the rocks.
I’m not sure about US market at this stage but Long Ranger are looking at all possibilities to expand to new regions.
@@TyFenwick hopefully they will make a 115L version with a beefy skid plate. I’ll buy one and pay the crazy shipping. Destructive testing is what I’m good at.
Wow, thirsty isn’t it🤔
You getting the Herrod upgrade by any chance?
Would love to see a before and after run after Herrod upgrade
Hi mate,
Yes I am looking to get it done. Everything on the raptor so far has been helped by sponsors so it allows me to get videos out quick.
The Herrod install I had to put on the back burner. Unfortunately my priorities to buy things for my business came first 😅
Il be getting it done in the new year.
@@TyFenwick fair enough mate. Enjoying your content. Cheers
Any issues after?
No issues, great tank
Ok thanks mate because i actually mentioned on the next gen ford group of FB to watch your vid as someone was asking if long range tanks were possible but other blokes said it had problems after.
2RAR - 2nd to None
800km and let’s say 135ltrs used. That is terrible consumption, roughly 17l/100. My old 4.5 petrol Land Cruiser used less and the 4.5’s were well known for their love of fuel 😊
But the Raptor is way more fun than a Land-cruiser you’d agree ! Gotta pay to have that much fun.
@@TyFenwicki used 15l/100km with my non turbo 70s Diesel , which had about 130hp- so I guess, my current fuel consume on my Ranger Raptor , which is 19L/100km is not that bad….regarding the Ranger Raptor has about 400hp…
But if someone really wants to save on fuel, a 400hp car is not the way to go…
140 litres is roughly 36 gallons
Jeez only 14mpg? Yikes, I know you guys don’t get the F150 Raptor but for us in America why buy the ranger with that crappy mpg. F150 does better.
I am running 35s so numbers might be off a bit. With the Herrod Performance setup it drops a fair bit I’ve been told but if fuel economy is what your after raptor chews it
Looks great for long distance desert running but not for rock crawling due to the lower break over angle.
these little ranger raptors are much more fun to drive as a daily compared to a full size f150. you factor fun into things, not everyone cares about mpg. obviously comes down if you can afford it of course. same concept as people who buy v8 supercharged cars. not everything is about mpg.
