Traded my TRX for a Raptor

Well, I got an offer on my '23 TRX I couldn't refuse combined with irks with the truck itself and now I'm the proud owner of a '23 Ford Raptor! This is my first Ford ever and man is this truck nice. I won't get into differences or which one I think is overall better. I can tell you the only thing I miss from the TRX is the sheer speed/horsepower and that's about it. I was the second owner of that truck and only put about 1500 miles on it, had nearly 11k on it when I moved on from it. My Raptor has 28 miles on it and still has plastic on the seats. Still debating on keeping the graphics or removing them. It'll take some time to get used to the change in interior and controls but I love this truck. Glad to be on the forum and I'll be sure to search before I ask some of the dumber questions I'm capable of asking

I also came from a TRX! Congrats and welcome!

Nice truck. I’ve had both trucks as well, Raptor is the better truck.

Congrats! Enjoy!

Yeah, hard call on the graphics with the cost of them.... That said, mine lasted 2 days before I pulled em on my OW.... I don't think this years graphics work with light colors.

Yeah I'm trying to decide. I don't like the bead locks really and wanted the standard wheels so the color I wanted came with the graphics. Tough call....

The Raptor is a hell of a nice truck. I may have gone from Raptor to TRX, but I still have a great appreciation for the Raptor. In high speed off road situations the Raptor is more than likely the better option (lighter and better shocks). Enjoy the new truck!

Anything special to take them off? Being so new I figured either a little heat or sunlight and they'll peel off with no residue and a lot of effort. That looks CLEAN man!

morning...........

I just left mine out in the sun and took all of 5 minutes to pull all of them except for the G3 rears.

My final decision for me is I keep my trucks and I don't want to deal with issues years from now when they look like garb and the paint shadowed when I'm forced to pull em.

I did a paint correction and ceramic coat, figured best to pull em before the job.
