37 VS. 35 GEN. 3 RAPTOR

[ME120]

Also consider the 37 will feel much slower than a 35... those taller tires will kill your acceleration.

37s are for those that:
- Want the look with big tires
- Need extra clearance
- Expect 37s to have a higher resell value

Just my opinion...

We’ll said.

I just read that the 37s are like having 3:55 gears. That’s not good! I’m ordering a 37 for the wheels and graphics and will likely try to sell the tires

Why get the 37 graphics package and not have 37" tires? I'd get a 35 with the regular graphics or order graphics from rappygraphics instead of getting the 37 package, that way you don't have a giant 37 on the side of the truck. If you aren't going to run the factory 37" tires the 37 package is very much overpriced for what you are going to get it.

The 35 graphics look like ***. The 37s look great

I feel the 2022 Raptor $5,250 37 Performance Package option is worth the coin. The 37” tires really help fill out the wheel wells and help make the stance look PERFECT. After viewing a 37” Raptor it makes a 35” Raptor look odd.

The optional 17” black bead-lock wheel option alone will run you $1895. That’s a $3,355 price difference. Then add the unique 37” graphics package that costs $1,075 (and looks way worse) on a 35” model and your down to $2,280 price difference. Choosing the 37” package will also get you a unique to 37” frame, unique sport tuned Fox shocks and black tint carbon fiber accents. Add the 37” limited production exclusivity and resale value and I think the 37” package is a winner.

I have been phoning and e-mailing tons of Ford dealers in the Western section of the country in the hopes of finding one that will accept a 2023 37” Raptor order at MSRP. The hunt continues…

Love the Recaro Seats that came with my 37, some may not like the blue but I was very pleasantly surprised how nice they are... Tires and wheels are very nic in my opinion as well. Glad I went with the 37 and if can get at MSRP that is unusual and not a bad deal, I paid above MSRP for the first time in my life but I was getting impatient so just went with it... good luck!
BTW, my truck is antimatter blue and love the color.

I’ve driven both and went with 37. Chicago winters and where I take the truck made it a no brainer. I didn’t want to mess with swapping tires and wheels. Recaros were a bonus for me. They look phenomenal. If you can grab at msrp I would. Wouldn’t want a 35 now that I’ve had the 37.

It is not often a person can drive a vehicle off the lot on Tuesday then on Wednesday trade it in for 5k-9k more than they paid OTD. At least that is what KBB indicated happened with my 37.

I quit modifying my vehicles about 20 years ago. I may change to a different tire when the originals wear out but that’s about it. Most used car buyers want a 100% factory original vehicle with zero modifications. On top of that you recoup very little RIO on the mods that you made and the resale value is higher. There is always an exception of course.

After hours of e-mailing and phoning Ford dealers I may have found a dealer that will accept my 2023 37” Raptor order at MSRP

Crazy thing is that would be the case for a 35 or 37 right now.
