The 2024 37" Package Ripoff

[BaseModelRaptor]

Yup fair point! Not arguing here with you at all but theres also the resale value factor when manufacturers start putting out "premium" tier options of their vehicles. Let's take Porsche out of the mix and use the TRD PRO trim models of Toyotas as a more fair example.

All the things mentioned could be done easily with a non-TRD PRO model but the resale value of the TRD PRO is going to stay strong, while it will force the non-TRD PRO models to take a back seat.

I have a 37pp and like others have mentioned, its not simply slapping on 37s. I had a gen2 that i had to put 37s on. I had kings on it, hammered back all the pinch welds...still rubbed. Had i had the ability to simply have a full warranty on a vehicle that can fit stock 37s (AT FULL TUCK) and i don't have to worry about all the headaches, count me in (hence why i paid for a 37pp). The spare tire also fits underneath the bed which frees up my bed. This plus the other items factored in as mentioned above when i go to resale i'll be happy i have a 37pp as i can demand a higher cost (albeit not a life changing amount) but for someone who wants the higher model trim without going to an R, it'll help the sale over a non-37pp.

AND last point, while this is a individual point, i got my 37pp at sticker and in comparison to the market at the time i was shopping, my 37pp Raptor brand new was atleast 4-8k cheaper than used non-37pp's on market so in MY certain situation, i actually saved money by going 37pp based on what was available.

I'm not sure who has mentioned it isn't possible but it is as easy as slapping on 37s and the spare also fits. It's been done countless times and yes you can stuff the tire as long as you don't go crazy with the wheel offset.

Yeah I’ve read some comments where people say the 35 raptor doesn’t fit a 37” spare. I need to crawl under my truck and look lol. Maybe the oem bfg ko2 37 tire fits? Think it’s 36.5 and not really wide like other 37’s???

Yeah I wouldn’t try a 37 Nitto MT or something on a 35 truck. Im sure it’s been done, but I sure wouldn’t do it.

If it doesn't fit a 37 spare then my truck must be a factory freak. Really there's a huge thread on here with people who have done it.

Here you go…

Installed 37's on Gen3 35 Raptor - no issues.

Lots of speculation / feedback on if 37's would fit. Thought i would share some pics/info on my install. - Stock truck, no suspension changes. - No clearance issues, full lock each direction has a minimum of 2" clearance even at closest position to any chassis/fender. - Full size Ford Forged...

I don't disagree. I have a 24 R, and it is fast, there is no disputing that. But, if I'm being honest I think I enjoyed my eco Raptor more. The eco Raptor has plenty of power, and you can accelerate as much as you want and throw it around all day. Sporty seems like the correct term to use. The R is a different animal. You really need to be more intentional with regard to where and how you decide to use 720 hp. I could rip around in my eco with my wife and 3 year old and no one got too excited, but with the R my wife barely wants to ride with me. She still hasn't experienced anything past 50% throttle lol

If you daily drive your Raptor and you're on the fence about getting an R, you'd probably be happier in the eco. If you need to have the fastest truck made, and you put the pedal to the floor at every traffic light, then maybe the R is your thing.

Just my 2 cents

100% agree. The ecoboost daily driving or driving in general outside of flat out is better. Its a bit obnoxious that you barely breathe on the pedal and its beyond 1% throttle position. The Ecoboost torque comes on stronger and lower but then runs out past mid rpm range. But pretty much everyone is not wrapping either motor beyond mid range unless you are drag racing.
