2021 Raptor Is a Total BUST!!

[Raptor R]

Yeah I was just reading about that on MTs site.

Not surprised they had to modify the rear to fit 37s lol, but that if you order a 35 inch truck you'll be SOL if you go to 37s and think, "hey ill just stuff a 37 under the truck". Plus both 35s and 37s have different shocks.

Guess we'll really have to comb through each option to spec a truck just right.

If your going though with the Gen 3, you have to go 37’s.

Yes lol.

I don't believe it, I call BS. That would be a huge upgrade and massive decrease in weight.

New steel in the Bronco might be for the 37” Raptor?

It was 2015. Lightweight military grade aluminum. That is why the Raptor is 1000 lbs lighter than the land barge TRX.

Definitely! My Gen 1 is on 37s lol.. no way I'd go back to 35s.

My F350 Tremor still has stock tires and its frustrating haha

Yes, I corrected my post above. I agreed with you.

Yes, I corrected my post above. I agreed with you.

I was gonna say that an aluminum frame could have partially made up for a lackluster engine.

the fact that they dont mention it being more rust resistant makes me nervous. i could see the panels rusting threw even faster with them being thinner. just stick with aluminum, people have accepted it and are willing to pay for quality materials.
