I had an 18 and then a 19 Raptor. I traded the 19 Raptor for a 2022 F250 Diesel Tremor. I sold it and went back to a Raptor and regret it.



I added a Carli commuter, AMP power boards, 55 gallon tank and deavers. I also did the Raptor wheel swap and the center console swap.

The Tremor is a truck. A far superior truck. The Raptor is a performance vehicle but not a very good truck.

Sure you can use the raptor for hauling stuff and towing, but if you really want to haul and tow, nothing beats the F250.

They identical on the inside so that's not the issue.

Having a longer bed, torque for days, higher stance, dual batteries etc made it better, if you're looking for a truck.
When I added the Carli and dropped the pressures from 60/70 to 45/45, it rode as good if not better than the raptor. I had the comfort of knowing I can go anywhere and pull anything I wanted. I don't have that ability with the raptor.

I thought the raptor was a beast until I got the F250, and then I realized what a delicate flower the raptor is.
I'm sure I'll get flame for this comment but unless you've driven a F250 Tremor, you won't understand. @Nex know's what I'm talking about.

Correct. It really comes down to what you need out of a truck.

Yea I hear you for sure. Although, I don't have a diesel, the 7.3 has all the power I need. My worry is that, although the Raptor can tow the weight that I need, the stability of the F250 will be nice with my tall enclosed trailer in the winter towing sleds.

Would you say the Carli commuter is good for off road use? If I do stick to the F250, I will 100% be upgrading the OEM shocks in the Spring. I was looking at the Fox 2.0 Performance and the Fox 2.5 Elite. My truck is stock.
