Four Wheeler: 10 reasons Raptor better than TRX

[Predator_Raptor]

I, for one, am just watching all this to see what my next truck buy is. I had a gen1 raptor and loved it. Wore it out, and went diesel until we had some v8 back in a raptor. So, if there isn't one back in for 21, I guess I have to buy TRX. Both trucks to me are fine, BUT, I just can't do the v6.

What sort of a functioning adult cares about a “rev battle”?

I prefer actual engineering.

The 12 year old in me does.

Speaking of Toyota...why can nobody else reproduce the full roll-down rear window of the Tundra? There must be a reason why it's expensive to pull off, or why the glass will get shattered by off-road twisting, or something like that. Because that should be the only way to do a rear window in a full size truck.

I’m always afraid the Toyota window would rattle like a bastard!

Must suck to have a micro-*****.

Seems to handle the flexing just fine

I have a V8 car for that. Never saw the draw in a loud truck.

He must not tow much. Shit gets old quick.

I doubt the 1st year TRX will be as reliable and.long.lasting as my 10 6.2 has been. But it is possible. Not likely though.

The Toyota twerk.

Lots of insightful responses. I think there are many of us who are more interested in the practical aspects of a Raptor than in the emotional need for V8 noises.

I was planning to buy a Rubicon Ecodiesel but test drove a Raptor at the last second and found the Raptor could do all the rock crawling I wanted to but was better at high speed offroad, daily driving, towing/hauling and fuel economy.

I know I’m gonna take shit for saying this but I get over 20MPG Highway. The TRX will definitely not do this.



So in the end, you’re paying a higher purchase price and more at the pump for a one trick pony (straight line acceleration). Not my thing
