TRX actually is a big truck. My Raptor is in the shop for a repaint, so I don't have any side by side comparison shots, but my TRX on 37s with stock suspension feels about like my Gen 2 with 40s and ADD suspension (in terms of height). The TRX doesn't look too much different than a Rebel, so that's my only negative on the TRX so far. That SC V8 is wicked though. One thing I've always lamented about my Gen 2 (besides the abhorrent shifting) is the not as impressive 50mph to 100mph+ sprint. It's quick, but it's not impressive. The TRX has that V8 pull from 50mph to 100mph+ that I was yearning for in the Raptor. I surprised a Panamera 4S yesterday on the freeway doing just that. He thought he would be cute and run away, but I had to actually let off the accelerator to keep from running up his butt! I hope the Raptor R is a fire breathing V8 with the dual clutch transmission. I'll get over that boring front end really quick if that's the case!

The stickers look like ass, especially the checkered flag portion at the back. Didn’t Chevy put similar stickers on their ~1983 Trucks with checkered flags?

if they are required on my 37 truck they will be promptly peeled off.

Are those aftermarket wheels? They don’t look like the wheels on the release trucks.

And the 5 amber front marker lights that were always the Raptor signature on the Gen 2 almost appear white in those pics..

I planned to order a white 37 truck in April, but those pics are discouraging...

Thanks for posting...

I was worried about those beadlocks in the picture above too because i think the ones on the release truck look much better. In the press release it states that there will be 3 17" wheel options., 2 of which are beadlock capable. And those 35 stickers are ugggggglyyyy. The plain gen 2 bed stickers look way better.
