Any of You Trouble makers Familiar with New TRX Pricing?

How is a TRX better than a Raptor "in many ways?" Take the engine out of the equation and it's just a Ram Rebel.

Old guy, don’t feel threatened. It’s ok people have other tastes. Dodge has been the laughing stock of trucks for decades but the TRX is better than the raptor is many ways. It’s healthy to have some competition. Some would even say that without the TRX we would never have the R!

I‘ve mentioned this before. Without the TRX Ford didn’t have a real need for the R. The TRX encouraged Ford to give us the R.

As far as what is better, that’s ultimately up to the buyer. The TRX was the better truck for me, but that doesn’t make it the better truck for someone else. I enjoyed the Raptor for the 18ish months I had it. It was comfortable, and got considerably better fuel economy than my TRX will ever accomplish.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts. If there are some dealers doing 10K under, that could leave me pretty tight for any profit after I pay 6% sales tax and transfer fees.

I think it’s safe to say there is more to the TRX than just the engine. It attacks things in a similar fashion as the Raptor with 35” tires (a 37” package would be sweet), wider stance, performance shocks, and multiple drive modes.

I understand how people prefer one over the other. I saw a 3rd Gen 37” package at the local Ford dealership over the weekend, and it’s a beautiful truck. I just personally have a hard time giving up 700hp and a heated steering wheel.

I would love to give the R a rip. The reviews so far are pretty impressive.

The $10,000 off sticker is normally for new orders. Most TRX’s at the dealership are MSRP at best.

Maybe borrow the truck for a day to see if it’s something you’re really interested in. Who knows, after an hour you may hate the TRX.

I did a quick search here in KC there is a 2021 w/573 miles for $87k and a 22 for $91k.

So the same as a Raptor once you rake the engine out of the equation. Hence my statement. Both have a wider stance, different drive modes and better shocks.

Not sure how offering the same on both trucks is better in many ways. Just comes down to how you want said package delivered (giggity).

It is all in fun, except F the TRX.

It did not like my LOL emoji apparently

I do agree without the TRX there would probably be no Raptor R.

I will never own either so that doesn't mean much.
