When did I say that putting marker lights in the grille makes a Rebel look more like a TRX?

You missed the point several pages back, no point in repeating it. You're just trolling now. But keep up with strawman argument and name calling.
I would just ignore the guy. He has nothing valuable to add to the conversation.

Damn this thread has turned into a blood bath. The truth of the matter is, from a far the TRX and Rebel have a lot of similarities. When you get in range you can spot the hood scoop, lights and the bulged out panels on the TRX. There is no doubt the Rebel was the starting point for the TRX.

You can say the same for the F-150 and Raptor. I just personally found the Raptor more distinguishable from a far.

Funny how a brand new suspension, available 37s from the factory, way more technology, an entirely new interior that is infinitely nicer than the outgoing one, and exterior updates (albeit little ones) are minimized because Ram has a v8 in their truck and Ford doesn't. Let's be real - all it's coming down to is the engine note and powertrain....
Well, if you listen to the commentators on the interne, the Gen 2 is a terrible truck because of its V6. However, if you look at the sales numbers, Ecoboost F150s outsell everything else by a wide margin.

Thankfully, Ford knows to ignore the idiots who aren't actually buying trucks, and instead improve on the weak links. In this case, the suspension. Actual Raptor owners - using the truck as intended - have been asking for a 5-link and stock 37s since the release of the original truck.

My wife spotted a Raptor a quarter of a mile down the road last week, so proud of her

Don’t forget to get some wolfs head oil from the supermarket.
Couldn’t help myself, wolfs head is rated just as high as Mobil 1, in case you’d like more details please see attached:

If you know what to look for, sure and look at it from the right angles, sure. However, if you haven't spent time picking out the differences, you aren't going to easily and quickly tell them apart.
Yup. I finally recognized a TRX the other day. Looked like a brodozer RAM. We've got a lot of those, so the TRX blends in. What gave it away was the chase rack. Which I hate.
