GEN 2 Sold my Raptor and couldn’t be happier

[Gen1 Beast]

You know I was on the fence between selling my Raptor and buying a TRX.

I was afraid that buying a TRX would turn me into a raging ****.

Vintabutt has helped me with my decision.

I'll be keeping the Raptor.

Id be upset too if i made $26 an hour

People get that working in grocery stores. Techs worth a shiit get 40+ an hour. I made $65/hr as a tech up to 3 years ago when I retired. Again go take a picture of those receipts and lets see them.

You fit in great with the Democrats. Change topic and focus on something than the actual narrative.

My guess is that on your salary as a ford tech you cant afford one.

Just admit it. You lost bud

You realize you sound like a little trust fund, petulant child, right? It's actually quite entertaining watching you stomp your feet and throw a temper tantrum. Please go on.

So here’s the issue or perhaps problem with the OP and his thread.

First, who the F is Schmurda and why do we have to read that in every one of your posts?

Second, the Raptor and the TRX are excellent trucks. I’ve owned four raptors and have never had an issue with the engine or transmission. In fact I think the 10 speed is excellent, and I own(ed) 2020 M5, and 8 Porsches with PDK and their torque converter transmissions.

OP tells people to grow up, yet he bashes what many of us have invested our hard earned dough in and enjoy, instead of being a man and keeping the peace himself without infantile, moronic rants.

The OP could’ve said I had bad luck with my Raptor, don’t find it to be of high quality but YMMV and I’ve now decided to sell and buy a TRX, a truck that gets considerably worse MPG, has a much smaller gas tank to go along with that, and I don’t mind waving to you Raptor guys as you pass me while at the gas station twice a day.

All in all, I hope the TRX is everything you want it to be and drive it in good health.

You can probably get an inordinate amount of money for whatever you’re currently driving. If you’re on the fence go for it man.

I got more on trade than i paid for my truck brand new, after 4 years and 37k miles. It was a no brainer.

There’s a reason you Raptor held and increased in value, not sure you can say the same for the TRX. My buddy sold his Gen2 Raptor for more than he paid, bought a new TRX, then sold it six months later at a loss, now owns a Gen3. Having said that, I do prefer the overall fit and finish of the interior and that SC engine mated with the transmission is stellar. But I think the Raptor R will edge out over the TRX

But is he wrong?

I bought my Gen1 because I didn't trust the Ecoboost 3 years ago. I'd buy a Gen3 or Raptor Bronco though. Maybe 2nd year run.

tl:dr - if you call the OP out and/or disagree with him, you are a democrat. If you don't want to buy a TRX you make $26/hour. This about covers the entire argument by the OP.

 

[NASSTY]

It doesn't appear that he is changing the subject, he is still on the same narrative that you are claiming false issues , so again, supply those receipts and lets put that issue to bed. Prove him wrong with your engine rebuid receipts. I really want to see those.

There are none. He's a lying troll.
But congrats OP on your daddy buying you a new TRX.

Yes, I have a gen2 and have run it high speed in the deserts of S AZ, Sonora and Baja Mexico. Additionally, I pull a 19 ft Airstream with it with a fully loaded bed (dirt bikes etc) and have never had a problem. The dealership has been hugely proactive in reaching out for any recall that might affect the engine and drive train. I couldn’t be happier with my gen2.
