These are the twins, both 2025s. I picked up the Shelby American at a deep discount as it sat for a year at the dealership in another state in the last month. Paid just under retail for the Ranger Raptor. I know many consider both of these cars the inferior versions of what is available, however I am happy regardless and owe nothing on either car. I have ice and snow for a solid 6-7 months per year, lots of heat during the rest. I did use AI/Gemini photo editor to remove the license plate on the ranger. I don't have plates for the mustang due to a rather impressive snafu from the dealership and state office. I'd like to get more blue for the truck, but not Shelby stripes since they have trucks for that, I really like the super dorky dinosaur graphics I've seen online.

The raptor is ford tuned and has a JL Audio Stealth box.

The mustang has full body ppf and ceramic coating. It needs to have the sub switched out from the stock b&o, which is lovely but not what I want.

Let me know if you have any mod suggestions for either. They are both a blast to drive and I have to move the baby seat back and forth depending on my toddlers mood, lol.
