[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1824938, member: 31322"] The Raptor isn’t “marginally” better than the TRX off-road- it’s a good bit better measurably & subjectively, the BASE Raptor is better than the TRX off-road, the R just ups the ante on power. It seems to me many of the people I see doing serious off-roading a) are driving Raptors already or wranglers & Broncos & Tacomas & FJs much MUCH more than TRXs, & b) certainly do seem like these types of buyers DO have $$$ to burn to an extent @ least in terms of their off-roading hobby b/c the amount of mods people are blowing + camping gear etc seems like paying a bit extra upfront for more capability, more fuel range, & higher payload/less weight than a TRX would make sense This is coming from a guy living in New England w/ limited access to GOOD off-roading- but when I travel out to UT/CA/NV/AZ/CO what I see repeatedly off-road are what I listed above - NOT TRXs - & most of the Raptors I see out there are usually all kitted out too…. For the type of off-roading I get to do the TRX would more than suffice for the most part….but the fuel penalty is what kept me away (that & always concerned about the MOPAR quality) but when I bought my 2nd gen2 I could’ve certainly gotten a TRX @ MSRP spending $10-$15k over a TRX & since I had a $70k check from my insurance provider burning a whole in my pocket wasn’t like I couldn’t “afford” the TRX So in a nutshell when you get up to these price points & extreme vehicles I DO think legitimately better off-road capability DOES matter b/c many of the wealthy owners DO use the Raptor as intended Same reason why guys who have the $$$ & are into racing would look @ a challenger hellcat & say no thanks, they’d rather be in a “less powerful” Z06 or ZL1 or Viper ACR etc. b/c they really do race on road courses [/QUOTE]
