Raptor vs Tremor 402

[James Dean]

You work for Dairy Queen? We need to start a new thread about the greatest fast food. The Dude and dilly bar. Years ago you could order a double chicken fried steak plate. Sadly, the one closest to me closed up. Guessing they couldn't get workers.

Its a fun job. I get to meet a lot of people and see a lot of nice auto's come thru the Drive Thru. My wife and I have been doing it for 24 years. Its funny the year we built that store in the picture I had an orange F-250 Harley truck. When I saw the code Orange Raptor I really wanted one. Sadly it wasn't in the cards this time.

Wish they would bring back Race Red for 2024.

If they brought back lightning blue my order would be in already.

Hmmm...I don't use the drive through at Starbucks. I buy the Monster's in a can, so I guess I wouldn't have a need for a Toresn diff.

I don't have a need for a Toresen diff, just wondered why the Tremors kept them and they were removed from the Raptors?

From what I could dig up the Raptor R was destroying them during the testing phase. Fords workaround was their Eletronic braking control system and to lower manufacturing costs the removed the toresn from all the raptor platforms. I have a 23 and have not had any problems. I run west Texas lease roads daily in all weather conditions.

Interesting! If the Raptor R was destroying the Torsen Diff, seems like they would have kept them in the Eco as they kept them in the Tremors or maybe offer some other enhancement to get folks excited. They have them in the F-150 and FF250/F350 Tremors. I guess it's the new way of the world now raise the price and reduce options.

For the price of a base Raptor it should be loaded with exclusive options. That would at least make me feel better about purchasing a Raptor, even if I didn't use them.

It’s because Ford only developed the electronic abs/traction system on the Raptor R, which was able to work on the Raptor. I would bet in the next couple years they’ll do the same on the Tremors.

Tremor looks like a pretty Stock F-150 with Wheels. Raptor would maintain resale value longer.
The B&O Raptor Stereo seems to still have rave reviews...funny but we still cannot hear anything from a lot of those extra Speakers??

B&O gets rave reviews....

The 24 Raptor that I ordered doesn't come with the 18 speakers that the 23's had. I believe they will come with 14. You can get the same B&O in the Tremor.

What’s so bad about it? I’m an audio simpleton.
