So I felt like I did a good amount of research prior to my purchase. But I bought the Raptor 35. I love this thing. I thought about the R, but really didn't want to spend that much on my first Raptor. So now that I've had this thing for a few weeks, I don't have much for regrets, I have yet to take it off road, but I have put on about 3600 amazing and fun miles.
The question here is should I have went with the 37 package?
When I was debating on what to get, I was thinking the 35 would get better gas mileage and actually have more power overall, due to the same engine pushing smaller wheels. But after looking at things it seems the 37's are a way higher demand and do offer a few better performance upgrades as well as some better interior options.
So did I screw up? Should I have went with the 37? What's your thoughts on comparing the 35 vs the 37?

There are no regrets on any RAPTOR.

That is your first infraction. Such non-motivational jargon will not be tolerated on this forum.

jk, its a free world... but take it off-roading please, and an exhaust...

"Did I screw up?"

I see what you did there :cool: Well played.
No more super-cabs (SCAB) so of course all you can do with a Raptor is SCREW aka Super Crew.

You can put 37’s on the Jen Tres 35 truck. IDK what the 37 wheel and tire weigh but I think my 35’s are like 95-is # per tire / wheel. Can you change it if you get a flat - because you will be ridiculed by other truck drivers if you have to call AAA to change your tire.

You’ll be fine with the 35 Rap. Go enjoy it.

Just because demand is higher, doesn't mean the grass is greener. You've already described you don't use even 1% of the trucks capabilities. Only screw up was getting a Raptor instead of a Prius if you're just going to drive on road only.

Go to "Raptor Assault" they will show you everything your truck is capable of. All their trucks are 37s and this will give you a way to compare your truck to the 37s. After I went, I immediately ordered a 2024 802a. Traded my 2023 801a and lost some cash but now I have the truck I want. Well worth every penny.
