I switched to 37 and got a GTS, which will be here in December.

What trail is this?

Rollins Pass West aka Corona Pass. Good chill trail with great views.

Definitely putting this on the list. How bad does it get in the winter?

I think some of it gets closed later in the year. It gets above 12000 ft so I'm sure it gets pretty deep up there

I gave up my search for a reasonably priced R, threw 30 years of brand loyalty right out the window, traded in my Ford for a 2023 TRX for sticker off a dealers lot. One step on the gas was all it took. 3 new F150s and a ranger over 30 years was what I drove. I wouldn’t even consider a different brand…and then I did. My new TRX is awesome. I considered it and went with it. I wanted an R…couldn’t buy one for sticker and not throwing away money above sticker. The TRX is awesome. Ford lost a very loyal customer

You joined a Ford Raptor Forum to post that drivel???

I joined the forum as I intended to buy an R. It didn’t work out the way I wanted it to over the 3 months I looked for a new one. I bought the only alternative I could easily pass inspection with in my state. I didn’t just have a hypothetical consideration in my head…I actually acted on it. Thought it was worth sharing. It was pretty ******* hard to wrap my head around buying any other brand of truck. Do you really not want to hear from someone who truly considered the alternative? If I could have slapped a 6” lift on my f150, added 37s, and put a Whipple on the 5.0 AND had it pass inspection in Massachusetts I would have done that as a holdover. My state inspection laws are tough. I will leave now I suppose. If there’s still an R in 2025 and ADMs have disappeared who knows what the future holds. Enjoying my new truck so much more than I imagined was possible.
