Debating a Raptor

[John M BUNMAN]

Of course you should get a Raptor.
But let’s red team this first.

What’s your use case? Are you doing really technical or high speed off roading and the Tremor is disappointing you? How often are you using the truck for that purpose? What’s the Raptor going to do for you the Tremor isn’t doing for you, aside from moving from a peasant truck to a real truck?

If you’re just posing at starbucks, save the money. If you’re commuting and posing at starbucks or car / truck gatherings, again, save your money. The Raptor tax is REAL.

OTOH, if you are off roading regularly the Raptor does everything off road adequately, and its suspension is unmatched in stock form. As the speed increases, the Raptor comes into its own. East coast off roading does not play to the Raptor strengths, but it will do fine. The Rap shines where you can really open it up past the pavement.

I just open mine up on pavement now. With the potholes everywhere it feels like baja. After the first few fast passes in the Starbucks drive thru, they seemed to have stopped calling the cops.

The rear 5-link in the GEN3 is the sauce that makes it unique and special. No matter what you do to the tremor, you could never duplicate the rear suspension setup in the GEN3

In my opinion the GEN3 raptor drives so much better than the GEN2 due to the 5–link rear.

Just curious, but when you debate a raptor, does it argue back?

Get the Raptor, you should have bit the bullet when you got the Tremor.

It will keep you up at night if you don't.

Haha-I couldn’t find any Raptors without atleast a 10K+ markup at the time. I got “lucky” on the Tremor and paid MSRP with a killer deal on trade.

hmm correct me if I am wrong but I believe the 23 Termor come standard or as an option to get a Front Torsen (front axel diff)... unlike the 23 Raptor who gets electronic breaking traction control, but still... Raptor!

 

[Space Ghost]

getting that much on trade in id do that in a heartbeat unless the raptor is marked up to hell

Hopefully Ford is offering a low interest rate right now. With current rates it will seem like a much more expensive truck than your tremor due to interest alone.

Hi Omaha, I had a 2022 Tremor and it was a nice truck. I leveled it (has the hideous 3” rake from factory) and put some 35” on it. Yes, it looked good, but not a Raptor. I have now owned a 2023 Raptor 37 PP for almost a month and it’s apples to oranges. Not even close on handling, Comfort, capabilities. Then let’s be honest, the exterior styling is on a whole nother level.

If you can swing it financially, please do yourself a favor and go get the truck you drool over every time you see one when driving the Tremor and wish you had it. I promise you won’t regret the decision! View attachment 404245View attachment 404248View attachment 404246View attachment 404247

Nothing says “fugg i totally regret not getting a raptor” like leveling kit on a tremor…

I am a master debater in search of a cunning linguist.

This is not a real question.
