[QUOTE="Deleted member 17706, post: 1445739"] Trophy trucks have been trying to run AWD systems for years and though the systems have improved, it is still a flawed system for off-road use and can be not reliable. Ram isn't going to put a AWD system on a purposely built off-road truck. Heck, we don't even know if the TRX will be a purposely built off-road truck. For all we know, Ram is slapping a blower on it (like they do with everything else) and adding some "off-road" suspension components and calling it a day. The TRX may just be another Chevy Reaper, which is/was another truck that failed miserably to unseat the Raptor. A lot of people assume that the TRX will be able to give a Raptor a run for its money—I am not one of those people. Yes, competition is good and benefits the consumer in a free market economy. But Ram has a lot to prove before the Raptor is unseated. In reference to the release of the Gen 3, there will be time (at least a year) in-between the release of the new F150 and the Gen 3 Raptor. By delaying the release, Ford is able to maintain awareness/hype/momentum of the new F150 lineup. It would be foolish to release everything at the same time. And as others have pointed out, Ford didn't bring the Gen 1 to market until one year after the new 2009 F150 was released. Ford waited two years after the new 2015 F150 was released to bring the Gen 2 to market. So it is reasonable for Ford to do the same on the Gen 3 Raptor. Also, Ford will want to wait until after the TRX is released just in case they need to make some adjustments to insure the Raptor stays atop the mountain of trucks. [/QUOTE]
