I started looking at TRX or RHO. Interior is higher quality, but the exterior styling, just doesn’t inspire me. Plus I think the new Atlantis platform has growing pains.
I can’t believe I am even looking as long time Ford guy.

Never hurts to look, but at end of day (no matter some of this cheap sheet that Ford is pulling on Raptor), nothing beats a Raptor IMHO. I've strayed and quickly came back (within weeks). If you think Ford quality is crap...Stellantis is a joke. I decided to buy a second Raptor (25 being delivered today) to keep at lake house (and DD my 24) as there is nothing truck wise that's any better (or that I will enjoy as much). Cheaper, yes--as good over all, no.

I’m curious if the $10k cheaper RHO is stealing Raptor sales. The RHO is the first competitor since the Raptor made its debut.

The TRX got many Ford loyal Raptor owners to jump. Most of those came back or moved on to something else! Want proof look at number of TRXs sold. Not all that popular (TRX) long-term, look on used lots at quantity and price. R will be king for a while 3 years in production and hard to get a used one under MSRP unless 20k or more miles.

Even at highly discounted prices most say no to RHO, it won’t be better than the TRX IMHO. Wonder what comes in Gen 4 2027 Raptor ?? Thank god we are saved from only an EV answer!!

On the quality side they all need help but I’ll still choose Ford in 1/2 ton and Raptor like trucks. Believe me with a Lemon and lots of issues in next truck I know of the many issues.

Picked up my 25 Raptor R on Friday and love it. It did have to have a repair on the rear bedside from transportation to the dealership from factory. Other than that everything was great. After driving to all weekend don’t regret pulling the trigger on it all.
