Not sure I would go that far. What would have Ford used in the Gen 2, the pig of a motor 6.2 @ 400HP? Sure in 2017 it may have been ok and still a market leader. But by 2018 it would have looked pretty week. I don’t think they planned to keep that modular motor around. The only performance...
Good point. But it’s mostly about the money and profit. If Ford see’s sales continue and profit is high. This R lives even if the TRX as we know it dies. The only thing other than sales that would kill the R would be electrification at some point.
One problem that will keep this truck always limited production is the engine. Can someone confirm this is built at the same factory as the GT500 motor and built by hand? Not to mention is this factory going to close soon down the road?
Hellcat motors are masses produced, so Ram can make...
I wonder how many of the people who actually land an R will be on this site? I know the show off types certainly will be here. But many don’t give a rats azz about chit chatting online.
This program expired 2-28-22. So not sure how they can document you had it done before this. I would follow up.

Ford doesn’t want to sell a lot of these or basically cannot. Who else can pump more trucks out? It could be this engine being hand built is just the limiting factor. Otherwise if the R was competitively priced to the TRX and with that it could still be more expensive, but it would sell sell...
I said it before, the TRX is becoming the true bargain truck here. Obviously it has to be what you want, but it’s much cheaper in comparison to an R and competitive with a standard Raptor in some cases.
These are the slowest moving and most lane bottlenecking vehicles in the road. At least full EV’e have enough get up and go to keep on the move and not cause these issues.
Welcome! Now was the time to make a change and get out of that gas sipper. If and when gas comes down it can only get better for you. The future looks bright, enjoy that truck.
