I think the RHO will allow ram fans to get into a truck like the TRX ,but not have to feed the hellcat, for people that will have to daily it if they buy one. I think it broadens their market. Like myself, I can't afford an R nor do I wanna daily drive one. But the price/economic side to the...

Just like my tires, I clean them with my favorite cleaner for rubber, and that's it. No tire shine or anything like that.

Typical GM move, sacrifice quality for cheaper supplier costs. Was a mechanic at a GM dealership for 20 years. After their bailout in the early2000s it got bad.

Had a commuter years back while the raptor sat in the yard or the wife drove it. Sold the commuter and bought a second raptor and never looked back. What are you saving the raptor for, the next owner? Yeah, 98% of my miles are highway, but that's where I put my miles on. Not gonna spend my...

Swore I wasn't buying anymore BFGs but I couldn't pass up the deal, so I caved. Installed them on my fuel wheels and finally put them on my truck.

If you've spent as much time in the woods as I have, you'd know that bears don't shit in the woods. They shit in the middle of the road. Agree with the rest, lol.

Those were two of the things that made me seek out a 2023. Red stripe is the raptors heritage right from baja, and the HUD reminds me of something from 1997. Sorry, not a fan, but to each their own. Glad you like it.

I like the look of them also, but not as much as the 21-23 style. Are they still forged? Thought I read somewhere that they're not forged anymore either. Only the wheels that come on the R are forged.

Anyone have an opinion about the steering wheel center stripe being basically deleted? That was one of the small things that defined the original raptor and its roots. I was disappointed with them deleting it.

One of several reasons I picked up my 2023 37 pp. Didn't want the recaros and now your forced to get them if you want the 37 package. Bumper for 24 is cool, but I'd have to paint it. Shocks probably are better, but for my situation would I even notice it? Look for a 23 on the lot somewhere...

I must live in a remote area. I've been on here for 10 years or more and haven't met a single member. Although I feel like I know some of you just from being on here. I see raptors almost every day, but nobody on here. Maybe its better that way:happy175:

I was having the same complaint with my 2020. Just didn't seem to ride near as smooth. Had 50k on my truck. Replaced the front shocks with no noticeable difference. My truck was 100% stock and was 98% highway miles. Small sharp bumps would hit hard and send shudders through the truck. I...

My 2020 had to have the rear end rebuilt twice in 50k miles, but im not sure the second rebuild wasn't caused by flat rate mechanics rushing through the job. Apparently getting good bearing now days is an issue. Pinion bearings failed initially. Differential was a non issue. No abuse, 98%...

Well, what's going on there, and when? I haven't made any definite plans yet. Actually just ran it past my wife to see if she'd be interested, which she is. Might be a bad idea to teach her what her truck is capable of, lol.

I've bought 3 raptors since assault was available and haven't went yet, but I'm seriously considering it now that there's an option for my wife to join me. Thinking about making it a one time vacation in my life by driving out to raptor assault and then driving north to visit glacier National...
