IT'S Official TRX coming

[reaper1441]

This truck should soak up the "should have came with a v8" Starbucks crowd. So the raptor community can get back to focusing on jumps and turbos.

it's only going to pull the very rich of the v8 crowd because I suspect the Rebel TRX is going to cost pretty close to 100k.

I'm sure it will , because you all payed $80,000 for a V6 and Focked up the pricing.

Price isn't relative of number of cylinders.

Acura NSX V6 190k$

Nissan GTR nismo V6 180k$

Porsche gt3RS F6 200k$

Ford Gt V6 490k$

Jaguar xj220 V6 550k$

Oh and the new holdens will be turbo v6.

V8s are dead and ford knows it. I'm surprised people on this forum aren't petitioning ford to make a carburated raptor next.

This also won't add competition to ford and Make them put a v8 in the raptor. Ford is investing heavily in making an electric assist f150.

You just compared all those exotics/rare cars to a Ford truck!

That's on the same crazy/dumb level as saying MSRP has anything to do with number of cylinders.

Will there be a Supercab version of the TRX? All I see in press pics is the land yacht version.

Also no way the lights, bed rack, two extra spares, beadlocks, etc come on the truck. That's like $5K+ in aftermarket parts. It will look a lot more like the current rebel than the promo shot.

It's great to another entry to get the Raptor some real competition. All you have to do is look at the graph on the last page of raptor sales to see why Dodge can't get this out out fast enough. 20K trucks at $25K over the average sales price is $500 million.

I agree to an extent, but if you really want to compare apples to apples, let's put everyday vehicles into account, not the exotics harder to obtain cars you mentioned. I'll use Dodge as an example. A base model Dodge Challenger is offered with a V6 while the Hellcat is offered with a V8. While it's not the number of cylinders that make the cost difference, it is the horsepower among other performance upgrades throughout and more cylinders generally provide more performance and higher prices. Same goes for other make and models of cars. Mustangs, Camaros, Jeep Grand Cherokees, Dodge Durangos, even Mercedes C and E series cars all have cheaper versions with V6's, but offer performance versions with V8's and all for a higher price tag. Ford F150's are pretty much the the only exception to the rule. Base F150's can be purchased with a V8 and for high $20k, while the creme de la creme Raptor is only offered with a V6 and is the highest priced F150 you can obtain.

So generally speaking, normal non-exotic V6 model cars are cheaper than V8 model equivalents. And not every manufacturer is jumping on board with killing V8's like you are making it sound. Acura, Nissan and Porsche have NEVER offered a V8 car.

I’m excited.

I’ll preorder one. Who doesn’t want a 700 horsepower supercharged behemoth?

And here I was thinking of adding a powerstroke to my collection.... well...

Now I need this!

That's the only version most people care about.

You really hit the nail on the head

we will see a hybrid raptor before we see a V8 raptor...... and it will be faster yet
