Let’s at least give it to Dodge for making Ford give us (hopefully) the Raptor R eventually. Because keeping the same 450hp/510tq on an all new body style Raptor should be unacceptable in the auto industry.

The dealer added equipment is a hoot...Surprised no nitrogen..!!

$2,100 to tint 2 windows is what that adds up to. Dealers are freaking crooks.

All the things listed in that $2,100 they have maybe $150 in cost.

Why?

The package works. It is the correct power for the intended use? Token 5hp increases , like guaranteed union increases, at some point have to top out in order to be cost effective.

HELL I ZONA
I had my heart set on a syclone but impossible to find new in 1993 typhoon as well . Ended up with a 93 454ss only 843 made in 1993 . Its starting to come up in value now ,but took longer to do it vs syclones/typhoons. It has been sitting a long time 5 years , but fires right up after few keycyles of the fuel pump . like i parked it yesterday. Flowmaster 40s dumped before axle .

Yea this thing is hideous, and the interior is horrible too. Nothing but soft touch materials, way crappier than the Raptors full hard plastic interior. And the sound...terrible! Not sure what's more annoying, the supercharger or exhaust sound? The weedwhacker echoboost is far superior. Hell, that echoboost is soo awesome Ford didn't even make any change for the Gen 3. Oh don't forget that suspension, good thing Ford copied RAM's 5 link suspension or I would still be going sideways over railroad tracks. Yes, this TRX is pure crap.
