Cool, but not really much to pull from that teaser. I hope they continue to use Enter Sandman for the hype music.

True. They are saving it for the reveal. I’m digging the song. Takes me back to some great times.

Looks like @K223 beat us to it, but we'll post the video here. If you listen closely, that's either one tuned V6 or hopefully a V8!

When* Ford announces the Supercharged Predator Raptor R tomorrow, the TRX forum is going to crash. It is going to trigger a shock wave across the performance truck world.

The Leaf springs are gone as well. No more. Also looking forward to the fully digital dash.

I'm on the TRX forum as a vendor. Most the guys over are excited for it be announced. Most of them plan to order one if it's truly the Supercharged V8. Not a lot of brand loyalty over there. Just a bunch of guys that like high HP trucks.

I think my favorite quote was "by the time my truck gets here there will already be a new king" lol.

For sure man. Anyone who buys the TRX is just chasing the HP like you said. It looks like they have made the TRX all about drag racing exclusively. All Ram guys talk about is the 1/4 mile time and 0-60. No talk of off-roading or suspension when in fact it is a truck built for off-road! That is fine and all, but they have put themselves in the category of high performance cars that will smash them on the streets. A lot of us own cars that trap 135 + MPH on the street and run very fast. The TRX guys wants to make it all about drag racing...they are going to get humiliated.

Will the Gen 3 get 1.8 inches of additional suspension travel over the Gen 2 (like the Gen 2 did over the Gen 1), giving it approx. 15” front and 16” rear? How much better are the shocks? Will the front shocks get remote reservoirs? How much will the rear coils improve handling over the leafs? Does the RAPTOR 37 PKG mean you can get 37s from the factory? These are the things that actually matter in a high speed off road truck. I don’t care about an overplayed V8 soundtrack or not being able to even finish the quarter mile because I’ve exceeded my tires speed rating. Either way, looking forward to tomorrow.
