Unless you got a death wish, don’t buy a TRX (or a Bronco for that matter) I’ve already posted it so won’t do it again & you can search. But independent testing of ALL the trucks/SUVs you can think of shows the TRX crumpling like a beer can & bursting into flames on a 30mph impact from a dump...

Looks good but you either need new springs or shocks or both, nose high w/ just a cap is no bueno

Running a Gearhead 93 octane performance tune I typically just leave it in normal mode unless I’m doing something specific off-road or there’s really bad snow/sleet on-road. When truck was stock I’d run it in sport mode, TC off, 4A ….but once tuned don’t really need the more aggressive...

I ran them w/ a tune but I don’t think it would be adverse on factory tune- im Sure plenty on here running those stock as well as on other F150s And regardless you would benefit w/ fresh set of the standard plugs too I think would see similar benefit, these HPDI twin turbos seem to chew through...

I’d do the tranny if you haven’t already. I plan on doing mine around 70-75k (I’m @ 56k now on my 2020) I’ve already swapped the fluid in the diffs/T-case around 35-40k miles & will do so again @ 75-80k (probably just after the trans flush so I can spread the cost out some) I also did a coolant...

Independent testing- all same speed. Obviously they’re not giving preference by manufacturer, the Bronco did terrible but the Raptor/F250 did well. The wrangler did awesome but the TRX burst in flames lol. But even if they went 10 mph faster on the TRX & Bronco it still shouldn’t make ya feel...

You have a boost leak for sure

Why wouldn’t they? They’d install you headers, down pipes, bigger turbos, a cat back exhaust, methanol injection, nitrous- whatever the F you want if you got the $$$$ lol

See for your own eyes. Raptor >>>>>> TRX That being said….the Bronco, while not bursting in flames, may be even worse. I routinely have my 2 boys & 2 dogs (and my wife lol) in my truck. I got into my first Raptor (a 2018) b/c my ‘15 GMC was totaled by a deer jumping in front of me on the...

My thought is you’ll die a horrible painful death in a ball of fire in the event you even get into a minor head on collision. Dead serious.

Won’t touch ANYTHING from HF that I need to depend on to any degree. I’ve had THREE low profile jacks fail on me from them w/ limited use. Never again Don’t be a sucker- buy a pro eagle & never buy again

Definitely get the truck tuned, no need to run an upgraded aftermarket IC unless you are really pushing the truck off-road and/or live in a climate that is hot/humid more months of the year than it isn’t. If you’re not keeping the truck long that doesn’t even matter….but if I were going to add...

Replace the springs or replace the truck lol All depends on what your real intended use will be, for me….I wouldn’t mind the sagging rear if it’s just 2-4x a year scenario OR if I’m just gonna be swapping to a new truck every 3 years or so If not & you do intend on keeping long term the airbags...

Well, considering they’re based on the best selling vehicle in the country….. Anyhow- get a 2019.5 or 2020 gen2 if possible- All the kinks worked out, better equipment included in the packages etc Personally was always a GM truck guy, but between my 2018 that got Totaled by a distracted broad...

And it’s not going to put power down nearly as well, does it even have 4a option?

Just get a WD hitch & plan on upgrading the rear springs once you destroy them….which, at least w/ the gen2’s, seems to happen under “normal” use regardless by 50-70k miles, & if you’re not one to keep a truck 4-7+years & instead just swap em out every 2-3, who really gives a sh*t if it squats &...

Wife drives a 2019 MDX- will either get her a new one or an X5 when time comes- she’s due for a new car next. My DD is a 2020 Raptor- to answer your original question it generally has done the best job @ scratching all the itches, aside from having a manual trans- I get that itch scratched by...

Yeah they do it, not sure what it is- my 2018 made a faint repeating electronic type sound or almost like a pressure release valve faint & intermittent, I also know they make that fuel prime door unluck sound when you first approach - I’m not sure anyone has figured out the noises when parked &...

Mud tires don’t make sense unless you’re muddin lol! They’re heavy AF, loud AF, bad MPG, not good in heavy downpour/standing rain, not great in most snow (esp heavier slushier northeast snow) & horrendous on ice But yeah, I guess they “look cool” lol I was going to run Toyo Open country AT3s...

I made a tongue in cheek comparison above, but it mostly rings true. I actually like the Braptor quite a bit, more than a Jeep Wrangler in many ways….but I’d only own one if my DD was a super duty diesel I needed instead of an F150 Raptor for towing purposes or something….or if I truly was gonna...

Do you have kids/dogs? Are you in the burbs & have a house/yard/landscaping to deal w/? Would you also use either one as a DD? Do you prefer a vehicle w/ some “attitude” but that doesn’t also look like a toy designed by a 6 year old? If youre saying yes to most/all of these questions then the...

And you’re regularly driving over 100mph?!???

Sweet. Have you even driven it yet? Does not appear so!

When time comes for me I’m putting geiser springs up front, deaver +3HD rear leafs, some new bump stops (nothing too crazy expensive or too chintzy either- or maybe bags?) & rebuild the OEM live valves. Should gain an 1.5”-2” ride height & increase the payload a bit & eliminate the sag & the...

Are you going to have the shocks rebuilt too @ same time or just go w/ leafs? It’s an expensive maintenance item w/ these trucks kinda sucks but right around 50-60k mark after you’ve most likely already shelled out for a new set of tires you’re going to need a shock rebuild, leaf spring...
