You so missed the point. It's not about doing Baja it's about having a truck reliable enough and made well enough to run baja then drive home. If you never drive baja you can rest assured that whatever you do The Raptor is far superior to the TRX in every way except the 0-60 time on the street...

Nope...code orange as a throwback to earlier Raptor.

They were never in the same class and the R changes nothing in that regard. Don't know how many times they have to say it but Raptor was designed to be competitive off road not the mall crawling on road glitz of the TRX. 0-60 means nothing. Raptor and now R have always been steps beyond the TRX...

The bailout program was called The Automotive Industry Financing Program(AIFP) and Ford didn't receive a single dollar from that program. They did indeed borrow 6b to help adhere to government mandates. The government mandated certain fuel standards and electrification. Borrowing from the person...

Yes...every single day of the week. It doesn't sound as good or have as much HP but it's Baja proven and comes from a company that has never taken any tax payer bailouts and ranks much higher in the overall reliability rankings. WOuld only own a Dodge or Chevy(except corvette) if you gace it to...

The TRX engine is great. It's just that all that HP is not necessary off road. I'd take it if it was available but don't miss it at all. The TRX fuel mileage is so bad it gets worse mpg unladen than I get with my fully loaded out overland rig. The TRX transmission is very good. You are factually...

It's a mystery why the doors locked in the first place. Unless the truck is moving the doors don't automatically lock. Something else is at play here.

I put mud flaps on all 4 corners. Loved em. extremely tough durable and helped a lot. Several commenters talked about how they didn't use mud flaps cause they ripped em off and for the life of my I couldn't figure out how that was possible......Until I did. On roads they are awesome but when you...

I think you need to figure out first what your going to do in front. Work with a reputable suspension shop specializing in raptors. Front end mods are tricky at best. If you mess with the geometry your asking for trouble down the road as it will change the wear points on front end parts. Collars...

Don't use local mechanic, back yard wannabe dudes, passionate sky is the limit tin foil hat guys or anyone else other than a reputable paid professional suspension expert specializing in Raptor or at least F150. In case you haven't noticed you get a lot of memorized canned answers and they may...

I wasn't going to reply but you are getting so much bad advice I couldn't help it. The absolute worst place to get suspension advice beyond maybe brand name or peripherals is any kind of forum. There may be some who know their stuff but you have no way to know who that is. Most who propose mid...

Why does it matter that the Raptor is Baja tested? Stock truck runs the toughest 1000 mile race in existence and you don't know why it matters? TRX is probably more your speed if you don't care about capabilities beyond 0-60 times.

Talk to us after TRX runs BAJA as Raptor did. TRX has absolutely no cred until they run Baja then drive it home.

The stocl suspension is considered a 2 stage rear spring wheras the Deaver prepacked kits are single stage. I can't equate the end result to a Deave +3 or +4 because the way they did it I retained the 2 stage spring and by adding additional leafs it is stiffer. I'm sure if it's stiffer in the...

You mean this where the TRX was totaled on the same jump that the Raptor survived? https://www.thedrive.com/news/38727/do-it-for-the-clicks-youtuber-trashes-his-ram-1500-trx-with-huge-jump compared to this where the Raptor takes TRX to school...

Not even a tiny bit....I'd consider asking for additional money off if it had this package

Wouldn't even try to street drag a TRX. It's all they got let em have it. Raptor is the far superior off road machine and if they want to meet on the trail then it's on for sure. Not street draggin them leaves them wondering and robs them of the satisfaction they can only get on the street.

Deaver +3 Deaver +2 SD HD it's all the idiots on here can say. If you don't call deaver and discuss your specific needs then you are taking risks with your ride and your money. There are very few people on this forum that know what they are talking about when it comes to suspension...problem is...

Based on your description...and only based on your description...you agreed to sell the truck for x dollars....had you walked away and never mentioned those beauty rings you would have been on the hook for the entire amount of the beauty ring repair since you already had someone doing work on...

You go boy...heck with power and TQ it's all about sound....NOT

For sure...take the raptor and add as much HP as it can carry. I am not opposed to HP it's just that the Raptor is so much more than HP where the TRX is mostly just about HP. TRX is unproven and the only thing the TRX guys have is HP. Obly years from now will we know the actual truth of course...

I actually have driven a TRX...on the road not off road. What I know is that the Raptor is literally Baja proven. Driven off the assembly line...ran baja then driven home. When the TRX develops those kinds of creds then talk. As far as the Gen3 at least on paper every statistic except hp is...

Other than a stright line street dra race the Gen 2 Raptor is still the best truck on the road...period...so not really a valid argument. Going for HP and sound is fine but that doesn't make it a better truck by a very long shot. The TRX is untested where the Gen 2 Raptor is Baja proven and it...

No and just no. If I needed the 20k desperately then yes but otherwise there are way more than 20k in stock upgrades between the Gen1 and Gen2. 47k for a used truck is a lot and I understand that Gen1 raptors carry a premium but still...if it's a bad **** truck you want then the Gen2 is that...

As others have said...for a mall crawler you won't have many issues. For off road you will unless you make the right mods. In either case you are stressing the front suspension and shortening the life of components even if you deal with the rubbing. It's prob 10-20k to do it right. You will feel...
