I had a 2017 Raptor and loved it. I was in market last year and decided to get a new truck while the used vehicle resale market was good, ended up going with a black TRX (loaded of course). As far as the major differences, its nice not to rely on the turbo for torque and i dont think the turbo whoosh can match the hellcat whine of the supercharger. After having the TRX Id really dig a supercharged V8 option on the raptor, however Biden admin is making a bunch of new EPA rules that strong arm auto manufacturers to reduce ICE footprint with higher average MPG across fleets. 3.5TT Raptor is still a good truck (except the shifter) and its a bit smoother on road IMHO but at least for me, the TRX is what i always wanted the Raptor to be so i hope we see a a new one. I just doubt it will be a V8, with the hellcat going away by 2024 it seems these fun vehicles will be replaced by boring electric powertrains where they will have more software driven features. Seems sad. Keep your raptor or trx until the tires fall off!
