I had both, a 21 TRX and a 19 Gen two Raptor. We took the TRX to Satera Tuning in hampshire, IL. for a pulley, tune, trans tune, ID 1050 injectors, thermostat and catch can. The truck made 739 wheel horsepower! (removed the front driveshaft for dyno)
It was a blast to drive and was quick considering it was 6,500 plus pounds. I loved the exhaust note and the supercharger whine, it was intoxicating! The interior/tech was cool with all the modes and custom settings. However, the truck just felt big and nose heavy, like a 3/4 ton.
After about 8 months being tuned, I decided to sell because I wasn’t sure how the powertrain would hold up since I voided that part of the warranty. The Ram dealers around me are sticklers for any type of modifications. I went to one dealer for an oil change and the parts guy wanted to know “who makes the TRX?!!” I just turned around and walked out. Just not a good experience…
I still have the Gen two (stage 2 Goosetune) and just enjoy driving it more. It’s lighter and just feels more sporty. It has the Recaro seats, which to me, are more comfortable and hold hugs the body better.
My plan is to keep this until prices come down on the Raptor R. I know it might be a year or so, but I refuse to pay a crazy markup!
