[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1746671, member: 31322"] Yeah….& I get the appeal of the TRX don’t get me wrong, but I could easily play devils advocate as follows: Raptor is made entirely of AL- this was previously relegated only to the highest end luxury/exotics, & still isn’t common in the auto industry to have a FULL Al body- no rust, & it contributes to the next advantage: Raptor is way lighter, 7-800 lbs lighter maybe more depending on options between trucks, & it’s lighter in all the right areas where the TRX is literally heavy in all the wrong places. The raptor center of gravity is hunkered down. It handles better & feels more nimble as a result, which brings up advantage 3: Since it’s so light the Raptor is essentially equal to the TRX performance-wise w/ a tune, their ttV6 engines react possibly the best to a tune only of any engines on the market. you could tune a TRX too…doesn’t seem like that nets the same power gain, jury’s out on durability, The raptors suspension is far superior & beefier, overbuilt for a lighter truck & made by a manufacturer w/ a helluva lot more cred in offroad use Oh & there’s also the superior T-case in the Raptor, the extra 2 cogs in the tranny, the much superior range AND MPGs, & the fact that it has a true 2wd/4wd/awd setup- 702hp be a lot more fun if you could use it un 2wd once in a while, and here’s a hint- they didn’t build that way from the factory (no 2wd option) b/c they’re really confident in all the drivetrain components holding up…. While saying the Raptor is more reliable MAY be objective- it certainly has a lot more history/real world testing behind it to back that statement up- regardless, as you just pointed out, the consumer market has shown us which truck they deem more valuable & which truck holds its value more- not up for debate. So there are some pretty good advantages the Rappy holds Over the TRX- plus you can measure shit on the tailgate, take a nap in the front seat, & eat a picnic lunch on the center console :) [/QUOTE]
