It good to see a Raptor with a V8 again.. I would say they are basically fairly equal in performance......But the TRX won 2 of 3 different style races this time.... I don't see myself trading in my TRX for the Raptor R. Both trucks are great, but I just prefer the overall package of the TRX...
True, but it would give people the choice for their needs.. The suspension, the appearance and off road capabilities of the Raptor attracts other offroaders. Not everyone has areas for high speed Baja.. I would love to see a powerboost version because of the 7.2KW power in the bed...There a...
So the why don't Ford offer a Predator, Coyote, 3.5 Eco boost HO and the Powerboost version of a 3.5 HO as engine options when you order a Raptor..They give options for the other F150s.
The million dollar question for me is, what are they going to/use for the drivetrain and tranny to withstand the demands for HP, Torque, tire size and stresses a truck inheritably puts on drivetrains . The other question is, will it have 2H ?
I know that some people will buy the R to pickle it and put away for an investment. I didn't buy my TRX for investment purpose and I won't buy a R for that either (if I can get my hands on one). I buy them because they are enjoyable to drive and have fun in....I really don't care about resale...
I know, they did the fix on the 2013 and 14..I saw the video. I waiting for front springs for the TRX to come out to level it and firm the front end just a bit. I had Geiser on my Gen 1.
I know, it seems like all trucks are holding their value. I paid 47k for my 2013 fully loaded in Dec 2014 and traded it in for 40K this May...unreal....I believe TRX will hold their value in Canada...only about 1200 or so came up here...
Thks I will enjoy it and Mod it like my Gen 1...I surprise you haven't bent your frame yet...It's hard to knock my old truck, it much easier to hack on the Gen 2 and 3...Lol
