GEN 2 2014 Tundra 1794 w/TRD SP or 2019 Raptor?

[Deanwam8]

I came from a 2010 Tundra Rock Warrior with a TRD SC....sold it with 21K original miles for the 2011 SCREW I have now. My old tundra absolutely blows the doors off my current 6.2L in speed and acceleration, but I like my Raptor better in every other way. In your situation, I would do the ‘19 all day long....

Raptor. It’s like asking if you’d take a 2019 truck or a 2010?

Actually it’s more like asking whether you want a 2016 era truck or a 2005ish lol....probably more like ‘00-01 while the Toyota engineers toiled endlessly trying to duplicate a “real” 1/2 ton domestic pickup, by the time they finished they were soooooo tired by the task they decided to rest another 15 years before lifting a finger for that POS again. Alas....they forgot to add a real frame, gas mileage better than an 18 wheeler.... & ahh torque (Toyota mistook 4.1 gears for actual torque) - well hell I guess slapping a supercharger always livens things up a bit.

I guess @ least the TRD pro is more original than their most recent reprisal of one of their most iconic cars ever...the Supra, that car? Well the EXHAUSTED Toyota engineers just threw the towel in & said “F it” we don’t know how to build a sports car anymore BMW can you please do for me?

Oh yeah....& Subaru, we don’t know how to make a fun little car anymore or a fresh engine- can you also help us please?

Maybe they’ll ask ford/ram/GM to make their next 1/2 ton for them so it’ll age a little more gracefully ‍

Also worth noting- the standard frame on a fleet level ford 2wd work truck is stiffer & stronger than the “TRD Pro” lol- bet it’s a real “beast” off-road....until it rattles to
Pieces. The raptors frame is braced & strengthened significantly over a standard F150 to boot, so the architecture in general
Is leaps & bounds ahead/no comparison....then we can start talking about AL skin vs steel, etc. before even digging into the antiquity of the rest of the design.

I’d recommend a newer GM 6.2 w/ a blower kit over that ancient POS
