Love seeing the same video and the same discussion the third time. Maybe power numbers become the truth more time we discuss this video...

if you like modifying your vehicles, you should probably stay away from the gen3. Gen2s are a big enough pain in the ass to modify.

people who like stock: gen 3

People who like Modified, up to and including mid-travel : Gen 2

Want to build a full-blown caged, linked prerunner? : Gen 1


also, I call ******** on the 10r80 only holding 590Tq ( yes, I am aware of the 800nm designation.

With clutches and steels, plus a billet torgue convertor, they'll hold more than double that without an issue.

Gen 3 is starting to look a bit like a placeholder and test bed for the new independent rear and 37" setup. I predict a relatively short run for this generation before the next one comes with electrification or hybrid setup.

The Raptor is tied to the F150 cycle, which will probably not be redesigned for four-plus more years. I doubt they would branch the Raptor off into it's own class and modify it independently.

I tend to think you’re right, but, it’s not taking the same strain as say a 3500 pound pony car, instead it’s pushing 35” tires, and 5800 pounds. I think Ford’s being a little conservative here and there probably is a bit more room and certainly built it’s worth more.

But, I think they’re primarily concerned with more real world use cases than the true Raptor enthusiast.

well, i guess we'll find out in a few weeks.

the break-in tune on my truck should be about 650/650 with 5.14s and 40s.

I wish there was an ecoboost bellhousing for the 10r1400. I'd swap one into my raptor with a 2wd tailhousing.

I think a mainstream, hybridized F-150 is coming a lot sooner than you think. Besides, Ford is completely out of their tree if they designate these late summer trucks as 2021s, so I figure 2022-2024 at most before it goes on hiatus for a year or so and then comes back as a gas/electric hybrid (or perhaps full electric if the Lighting can prove the concept.

Was able to drive a TRX today while at a birthday party for my wife’s friend.

Suppose I can see why a lot of Raptor owners are trading over, it was seriously a nice ride and comfortable as all hell. The seats were bolstered perfectly for my dad bod.

The HK 19 channel system was a lot better than the B&O system for sure.

I was a little surprised with the dual exhaust system from the factory. For a 6.2 V8 with dual 5” tips it wasn’t as loud as I was expecting inside or even outside. It had 300 miles on it so you couldn’t get on it still but that instant TQ was insane.

Reluctant to say this, but thinking about jumping into one after driving it for some time today. Don’t think I’ll be able to get a raptor for a while as I have no dealer relationship and really feel Ford has not one clue if these will get off the ground soon. At least I’ll have something to trade in next year when the Raptor market cools down, hopefully.

You guys are crazy. Ford is going to sell every gen3 they can make. If you can’t wait for the R then go buy yourself the TRX.

Why do so many people on this forum keep saying something to this effect.. "Ford will sell every Gen 3 they make"?

You know who else sells every vehicle they make? Literally every car manufacturer in the world.
