So true. Had my local dealership manager tell me it didn’t make good business sense for him to sell me the special ordered R they placed in my name. Bc he could make so much more money selling to someone else. They gave me 8 hours to get an offer on my 23 when I said I didn’t like their trade...

Welcome to the place. Happy to hear there’s another Raptor owner in the state. What year, mileage, and nuisances are you experiencing? There’s a wealth of knowledge on this forum that will likely help you to address many your issues without having to take it to the dealership/garage.

Looks like bad choices were made with 22’s and color matched trim. If somebody did that to my truck I’d want to get rid of it too.

No start stop on the 5.2 Not on either the 23 or the 24

Resurrecting this thread. What have you guys been up to with your R? We worked on the basics over the past two weeks. First family RRRoad trip, these trucks are a dream to pack the family into and my kids hadn’t ever seen the Smokies. Fished a bit and enjoyed some walks. Got home and added...

Sold.

Yep, or the whipple upgrade. But just a pedal monster livens it up quite a bit on its own.

I went to my local ziebart and paid $500 for the rhino extreme bed liner and $100 for corrosion prevention on the rear wheel wells. They said they would touch them up annually for me for $25 if they needed it. It’s not as pretty as rhino liner on the wells, but they didn’t want to spray the...

Was offered 113,500 for my 23R with 3,000 miles via a wholesale bid at my local dealer (I paid 121k for it in December). I didn’t like the 24 enough to justify the extra cost (they wanted my truck and 10k) and they weren’t willing to wait on me to sell it. Keeping the 23 unless some magic deal...

24 Order, but not Delivery I placed an order with my local dealer in November of last year. New car manager said he didn’t think the order would get picked up. Said if it did get scheduled he’d call me to give me time to figure out my trade in. I went out and bought a 23 R in Michigan bc I...

Never messed with superchargers before. Had a TRX for 18 months and left it alone…not sure why but I’ve only had this R for 90 days and I’m contemplating this upgrade. Whats a ballpark for installation costs? Whipple site states a lot of guys install themselves…anybody contemplating going that...

Last Price Drop- $650 Trying on here before they go up for sale on Craigslist/FB. Would like these out of the garage.

…..?

Welcome to the forum. Rappy > TRX. Went rap to trx and back again. You’re right about the suspension being much better in the Raptor. I liked certain aspects of the TRX better, superficially the TRX interior was better, and I give a slight nod to the curvy TRX exterior but after 18 months...

I found their weight listed online at 26lbs…it’s a flow forged wheel…that seems to be the same as the 602 venomrex I’ve had and a just a hair less than my black rhino Rapids were.
