2nd Gen Raptor Resale Value after TRX Release

[txgunsntrucks]

Nope. Name a Hellcat that has held its value? You can’t. On the other hand, the Raptor (Gen 1 and Gen 2) has held its value exceptionally well for the past five years. My 2020 Gen 2 is valued at least $5-7k more than what I paid for it. The only thing that could cause a Gen 2 to depreciate severely (outside of its normal depreciation) would be the new Gen 2.5/3 Raptor.

I will say though, I am curious to see how many TRXs are produced, what the price point is, and package options (if any). I don’t like how Ford offers so many options for the Raptor (800a, 801a, 802a), which can vary the MSRP by nearly $20k.

Most of the Raptor owners around here are die hard Ford guys. I don't see many of them jumping ship no matter what Ram does.

The TRX is going to look like a lifted Ram, and not everybody likes the looks of them. Ford did a good job on the Gen 2 and I can't see FCA coming close in the appearance department.

Besides the looks, TRX just sounds goofy whereas Raptor sounds bad ass.

I hope not. If the TRX lives up to the hype my Raptor is up for sale.

Once you hear the Supercharger Whine, you might change your mind on the “goofy” comment.

I might be in the same boat.

I disagree, there is going to be some pressure on Raptor pricing, both new and used. Suddenly, Ford's strategy of moving toward small displacement turbo engines will now begin to impact sales for the first time. Buyers had no real alternative in the segment, V8 or otherwise. Not only is there now a credible competitor on the horizon, but it has the 'correct' engine in a lot of people's eyes.

I disagree. When Ford switched to the V6 twin turbo for the Gen 2 sales didn't fall. They shot up. Everything depends on the complete design of a vehicle.
