You have a source for 30k/year? Back in Gen 1 days they were making way under 10k/year.

You are mistaken. Ford made 22k Gen1 in 2014. They also said they'd make more than that every year for the Gen2. Raptorfinder tracked every 2017 produced and that was 23k in 9months. Raptor finder is offline now, but no doubt they made far more than that in the 15 months they were building 18s.

Good chance...

LOL...that truck looks like a real off road read vehicle. The Raptor and TRX are not in competition. The TRX is def a pavement princess. I come from the Jeep GC SRT world. Not many vehicles can touch that beast on the asphalt 0-60. Off road, my girl was a cry baby. You guys are comparing apples to oranges.

Raptor is not a "high volume model"

Yeah if you read what is quoted they are referring to the GT 500. Using the motor in another model would up said volume.

The TRX is confirmed which is likely the way I'll go. The Ford dealers are going to gouge the hell out of people.

You're a DA. The TRX and Raptor do not satisfy the same requirements space.

That’s my point. A 700 hp “Raptor” would be a glorified Lightning.

Gen 1s were junk imo, ‘17 - ‘18 Gen 2s are great, 19s are best. For now. If they build this mythical “Super Raptor” I’ll buy it. In the meantime, why get wrapped up in “what if’s”? Buy the best one you can afford, mod it, and drive the hell out of it!

After a few days of considering the GT500 motor in the Raptor, I have come to the conclusion that it’s too much for an everyday driver.

If I owned the GT500 it would be in the garage the majority of the time, taken out for joy and show off in good weather.

A Raptor weighs 50% more than the GT500. I expect the GT500 to get 14-17MPG... what could we expect from the Raptor... 10-13MPG?

No thanks on that... I would be interested in a naturally aspirated 5.2 Raptor (~500-550HP) though that got the same MPG of the 3.5.

Taking the Jeep GC SRT off road is the wrong tool for the job. It's doubtful you bought it for this reason. Likely you bought it to put donks on it you ass clown:

Power ain't free and modern engines have gotten really good at squeezing all the power they can out of an ounce of fuel. To get more power, the only way to do it is with more fuel.

Engine configuration only makes a difference when cruising down the highway at 65mph and 25% throttle. (feeding a 3.5L V6 versus a supercharged 5L V8)

Obviously depending on how it is driven, a supercharged Gen 2 Raptor will average around 8mpg. A 550hp Raptor would be in the low teens. More HP = less MPG.
