    Can Ford excessive prevent ADMs?

    Very similar experience here emailing the CEO of Costco. He didn't email me back. But 3 days later I got an email from Costco's concierge service, and boy had they changed their tune!

    Raptor R vs TRX Drag Race

    Yes, modifying vehicles from their factory condition can produce different performance from their factory performance. That's why it's most useful to compare stock vs stock. Going down the road of "just do this mod to that truck" is a never-ending game on both sides.

    2022 Raptor on my 6th day. Gets clunkier every time.

    If you want 0.5 extra mpgs, stick with the factory 40+psi. If you want your luxury performance truck to drive like a luxury performance truck, go with these.

    With the price of TRx, why are folks paying ADM for raptors?

    Is it at all possible that the Raptor and TRX are both awesome trucks, and nobody is an idiot for choosing either one of them?

    Raptor R Mods

    Same here. Turns out they mean "This supercharger will support up to 2000 hp. That does not mean you can put this supercharger on an otherwise stock Raptor R and it will then make 2000 hp."

    Raptor R Mods

    First thing I'd do is hit it with a can of ADM remover

    Anybody else over the new Raptor R already?

    I actually agree with you. You are coming at it from the manufacturer's perspective. I am coming at it from the consumer's perspective. Now I do contend that the consumer's perspective is what will determine the "success" of the truck. In essence, you're giving Ford credit for good intentions...

    Anybody else over the new Raptor R already?

    I think you're discounting a couple incredibly important points: 1. TRXs are commonly available for $10-$11k off MSRP. Koons, Chapman, Dan Cummins, Granger, and more offer this deal. You have to order one and wait, but it's a sure thing. So you're actually comparing the $103k MSRP TRX that...

    Hard shifts between 3-4

    Very common. Mine did it for a long time and I took it to dealer. They reprogrammed TCM shift tables. It eventually came back. Then I got my cam phasers done and got the ECM reprogram that came with it, and that fixed the problem. IDK. I'm just reporting my experience.

    I, for one, hope your science project is wildly successful!

    Ford Raptor R vs Ram TRX

    I believe when it's said and done, the two trucks' performance will be very close. And given that the Raptor R will be so rare I'll likely never ride in one...I think TRX may have the value advantage, at least for the time being. You can order a base model TRX from several dealers nationwide for...

    $109,145 Starting Price

    I think the "and whatnots" and "throwing it in" probably get you close to the cost of the Raptor R. No doubt it can be done. But it's a science project. You either gotta commit the time to do it yourself or pay a highly skilled customizer a lot of time at their highly skilled pay rate.

    2,000 Horsepower Supercharger Upgrade

    Does nobody else really question that 2,000 hp from the 5.2L predator is possible? That's more hp/liter than the Koenigsegg Jesko, which puts out 1,578 horsepower on E85 from a 5.0L and was considered in 2020 the most power per liter in the world.
