Before I placed my original raptor order, I was comparing it to the trx. However, paying 90k for a truck before TTL seemed insane. Because of that, I chose to place an order for a raptor. About a month after placing my original raptor order, it was canceled due to the dealer not having an allocation. Because of this, I began looking around for another allocation at MSRP. After about a week of calling dealerships trying to find one that had an allocation with no success, I began to look at other options, mainly the trx.
After looking around for a few days, I was able to find a dealership willing to sell me an order for a trx for 10k off sticker. That made the decision between ordering a trx or continuing to look for an MSRP raptor extremely difficult. After thinking about it for a few days, I placed my order for a TRX. Two days after I placed my order, I received my vin#, and fourteen days after that, the truck went into production. I now have an estimated delivery date of 04/09/22.
I just wanted to share my story about my raptor/trx hunt. It is crazy to believe that you can find a ram dealership willing to sell a trx for 10k off MSRP but can't find a ford dealership willing to sell a raptor for less than 10k over MSRP.
