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
I just got my 23 v8 tremor 402A today , looks like the exact same one here.
Im happy and all, but I was drooling over a 23 raptor on the lot. Just couldn't pull the trigger at this time living close to Chicago.
When we move back out to PHX in a couple yrs, then it will be Raptor or Raptor R time.
But damn guys, I love the Raptor even if it's a baby Raptor for now.

I almost got a Tremor also, but I am sooo glad I went with my Raptor. I found my Raptor new with all the specs I wanted, designed for Ben Abbott, from Forged in Fire. He didn't end up picking it up, so I got it hehe :)

...and now you're selling it. I'm not sure why this "Ben Abbott" guy is so important but you sure like to mention him often.

If the f150 you’re looking at has a 7 at the beginning, I wouldn’t choose anything other than the raptor. If you need more towing than the raptor can handle, you’re probably better off with a 250.
