I have nothing else to contribute other than I very much want to do the EXO Baja Raptor run!

c'mon! you'll show up as an attendee your first time. By the end of the first run, you'll have made some brand new best friends, and will have developed a Baja addiction.

One of my favorite things about running with ExO is showing Baja to first-timers. It'll change your life!

Just waiting for them to open up another trip

If I were you, I'd jump on the waitlist for the March run. From time to time folks need to bail a few weeks before the trip is scheduled for one reason or another.

If that doesn't work out, ExO traditionally does a June trip to Baja Sur, which is my absolute favorite trip. ( It is usually about 1500 miles.)

We're doing some new routes in 2021. The 4-5 days runs are around 750 miles. I'm excited that the 4-5 day trips will include some of my absolute favorite sections around Bay of LA.

Please let me know if you end up coming along. First round is on me.

IMO - the TRX interior is the only thing that has a leg up on the Raptor.

They won't have that leg up on the Gen3. I like the 2021 F150 interior better than Ram's.

The TRX weighs 6866 lbs...not sure where the 9k figure is coming from.

The 9k number threw me for a loop as well. Nearly 6900lbs of truck. That’s a lot of weight to throw around and wonder how the components will hold up.

It’s also a testament to how much power the 6.2 Hellcat power plant generates as shown by real world numbers. Mileage/range is another thing.

Current Raptor SCREW is about 5800lbs. A thousand pound disadvantage in racing/performance is tremendous! Rule of thumb give or take in drag racing was a 100lbs of weight was worth a .10th in the quarter.

Ford has a working advantage here big time. While I imagine a Predator engine weighs more, just imagine how quick for one thing a Gen 3 could be? Or just say an H.O. PB 3.5 can be in this truck.

Ford has a chance to shine and come back on top if they so choose. Cannot see how not. Competition could make a new Raptor something.

Yeah but they need to include the
Fold out office space and massaging seats in the Raptor. Off roading can be a rough business LOL

so it'll be damn near 8000lbs with two people, a full tank of fuel, and the appropriate supplies in the bed. That's a big bitch.

Maybe it’s 9k in Canadian lbs?
