GEN 2 Sold my Raptor and couldn’t be happier

[OEMPlus Raptor]

Sorry it didn't work out for you, but congrats on the TRX. My wife has a 2500 HD Limited and they are really nice trucks inside.

Bro couldn’t find a Gen 3 or afford the ADMs.

Good luck with your Stellantis product. Hope the squeak doesn’t drive you crazy!

SO... HOW many users now have bought a TRX?

But these users who bought TRX trucks are not cutting into Raptor sales? Ford is a year late, and millions of dollars short and if they -were- going to build a V8 Raptor, it would have been out by now. As it is, if they released a brand new S/C V8 Rap today, the TRX would still have the advantage because Ford seems to be far more impacted on vehicle delivery AND the stealership network is far more infamous. The prospect of $8.00 gallon gas is very, very real right now and while Ford can possibly make the S/C V8 Raptor as a show truck, it’s obvious that they’ve essentially conceded defeat to the TRX, just like they did to the SRT10 truck.

Even if they put the vaporware Raptor R out today, it would likely last only a model year because only niche buyers would jump on it. Not enough to sustain the required assembly line changes from the standard Raptor which is, let’s be honest far more versatile. Berlin to Warsaw on one tank of gas and all...

The RR had it’s moment and the moment is passed. It passed by last year.

Congrats on the new truck, don’t be a sore winner.

You shouldn’t have had trouble with your Rap, and many of us have not. Unfortunately, workmanship can definitely play a part because Ford has sold cargo ships full of the TTv6 +10R80 in varying forms and customers keep buying them. That isn’t because they’re garbage. But, feel free to keep saying so. Hopefully others will believe it and dump their Raptor Jen Too. I’m looking for an inexpensive stable-mate !

In all fairness to fuel costs they were developing the gen 1 in 08 with $4.00 gas.

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

Because it’s a Ford.
Good luck selling your Ram in 4yrs when its rusting at the quarters.

Or the fact they’re already selling for $9k under msrp on new orders

So you thought the raptor had a shit transmission and turned around and purchased a ram? Lol good luck with that. Coming from a mechanic, you couldn't pay me enough to purchase anything Ram. They have a glass trans, mid sized truck u joints, wheel bearings that need replacement every 10k miles and the list goes on. Nice of you to come here one last time and try to shit on everyone's parade. You seem nice.

I probably would too but I've had 2 trouble free gen2's. 42K miles on my 2017 and 27K on my 2020.

Me too. I also have 27k on my '20. It's actually been the best and most reliable vehicle I've ever owned

Im just trying to provide valuable information so that folks on here can be as happy as I am with a better truck. If you get out now you can likely make money or at the very least break even. Is that so wrong?

The problem is you’re not providing any “valuable information”. You’re posting your opinion mixed in with a bunch of exaggerated and false claims.

If you had provided a objective comparison as others have who bought TRXs, you would be receiving much more positive feedback. Instead, you’re spreading misinformation and lies while bashing Raptors.

 

[Gen1 Beast]

Seriously?? Does anyone actually place any credibility on a guy that was "new to this whole truck game" (his words, not mine) in 2018?

I've been driving trucks for the last 40 years. I've driven Dodges, Toyotas, Ford's, Chevys, Nissans. I wouldn't buy a Ram.

Apparently you don’t know how to read. I stated that its better in category every sans the keypad and the tailgate step.

If you would like, I’ll go get my window sticker and I can list every option and go line by line with a specific detail how each item is better than what was on my Gen 2. But im pretty sure that would be very tedious and not very interesting to read.

Im just curious what about anything is misleading, or even exaggerated? Im speaking from first hand personal experience with both vehicles. Probably more qualified to do so than you are to be honest.

You just fall into the category of being upset you have the lesser vehicle. And again its okay to feel inferior. There’s always someone bigger and badder bud.
