Four Wheeler: 10 reasons Raptor better than TRX

[FordTechOne]

How so?

I think he's referring to the coil spring rear suspension.

How so?

Ahhhhh....well first off & most obvious, it’s got a coil spring Rear suspension vs the shitastic leaf spring setup that seemingly needs to be swapped out for aftermarket for any real/regular offroad use- I’ve experienced the nasty wheel hop/axle wrap on these trucks Pretty regularly on or off road & im not driving it offroad much.

it also sits higher/more ground clearance

I’ve read reviews commenting that despite the smaller diameter shock body, the adaptive bilsteins on the TRX are quicker to react offroad & have better manners on road....I believe one of those reviews/comments came from a current Raptor owner - I think the link to that review is somewhere in this thread.

supposedly they’re doing away w/ the leaf spring setup for the gen 3 raptor, and supposedly they may offer a V8 option, & supposedly I’ll be able bench press 500 lbs next year too if work hard lol

with what we know for fact right now, the TRX has the better suspension setup

The electric trucks are coming. We will be dinosaurs.

If anything is going to depreciate more in the near future it will be the Gen II Raptor. Who the hell would want to buy a used Gen II Raptor over a used TRX if price isn't a consideration? That ship has sailed fellas.

I think I do, that's why I sold mine last year

If most were honest, they've never been truly satisfied with the eco **** engine. Now, with the TRX and the next Raptor both having blown V8's, your appetite can be satiated.

Looks like brand new Gen II’s are going for all time high values except for maybe right when they came out. I guess your understanding of the resale market is as bad as we all thought it was. Should have kept yours until now, you could make a killing.

TFL said maybe were being marked up over $100k.
