Hello from Michigan

[LeadFootTarp]

Thank you! I always default to black or white. Bright colors are usually too bold for me but any suggestions??

I’m a little biased but Lead Foot is fantastic. Also, Antimatter Blue may be something you like. In direct sunlight it’s a deep blue and in shade looks almost black.

Of course, #BlackRaptorsMatter.

Dark horse: Silver. it’s a rare color and looks good on the Rap.

Welp, the dealer I thought was offering a good deal wants $4.5k over MSRP .. but.... I found a RAM TRX dealer offering $9k UNDER MSRP.. do I join the gas guzzling dark side?

 

[smurfslayer]

it depends on what you want.
Were it me, I’d bluntly tell the Ford sales-bot : “2k under or I buy this TRX”.

I like the Raptor. But I don’t like it enough to pay over MSRP.

Agreed - I'd likely pull the trigger at $2k or less over but I can't justify paying more than that.

I can't imagine owning anything but my Raptor. I've owned Toyota, Nissan and GM trucks in the past. The TRX looks great, but our family history with Dodge's poor reliability keeps me away from that brand. I'd keep looking and/or wait. The dealer I dealt with in Kent, Ohio was very fair (although that was in 2017). I think they sell a lot on the internet.

Like you, I've usually gone with black or white. This time around, I went with Lead Foot and love it.

I used to work for Buick GMC and can confirm this. I’ve seen trucks returned with less than 100 miles on the odometer with engine failures. I’ve pushed my share of new Sierras into the shop. Funny enough I never came across any Yukons come in for engine failures. If they did I was not working that day lol. Didn’t see this issue with the diesel AT4 or the 5.3 motor tho.

I came from a Silverado and it had never given me any issues. Loved that truck with all my heart had it modded almost to prerunner status. But I couldn’t resist gettin into a Gen 1 with low mileage and 1 owner. Gen 1 came out when I was in high school and it was my dream truck from them on.

It’s tough making color choices because they all look great. I when with white and love it. Mine is a 2018 and I recently added the below items to give it a better stance. The leaf springs were added because I overload the factory springs.

First time truck buyer here who was stoked for the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 (refresh) 6.2L but after reading so many complaints about GM’s engine failures I decided to look forward a Raptor and that’s when I stumbled across this forum. At relatively the same price point hopefully I’m making the right decision! The lesser payload and towing numbers are still sufficient for what I’ll use it for. Anyone regret having the short bed??

Anyway, just wanted to share my story. I’m on the verge of chalking a deal (hopefully) with a dealer in northern MI. It’s almost time to wait!

Where are you from? And are you talking about the UP?
