The heat is on for the raptor

Looks good, loved it but build on Ram site comes to $93k (802a equiv) before taxes, they must be crazy!!!

But it does have lighted shifter indicators in the console and a wireless charger for your iPhone!

(edit) Oh, I forgot..... it's also manufactured and supported by FCA and their $hitty dealer network.... the same reason I sold my 3500.

TRX Base Price: $70k; Raptor Base Price: $53k

IMHO - Raptor looks way better but I think everyone here is a little bias.

Its good timing for Dodge since there will be no 2021 Raptor. Also good timing for Ford in case they need to pivot to come out with something better.

10 years late to the party and we are supposed to give a **** about some Dodge junk now?

Has a HUD on windshield too!

I just went through and built one with all the stuff my Raptor has (everything but carbon trim package) and it came out to $97,850. Holy shit that's a grip of cash for a truck. I'd consider one once they're on the used market with 30-50k on them, and they get all the bugs worked out. I'm sure liking my loaded Raptor with lots of goodies for 55k 3 months ago!

In every single post on IG Facebook whatever, what’s the first thing mentioned? 700hp, beyond that most don’t know much about this truck. Still don’t have a clue how it will perform off-road, beyond doing donuts in some dirt. I like the look of the ram, but not as much as the raptor. They tried but I feel came up a little bit short, especially with the amber light placement in the hood scoop. And the price is $20k+ up from a comparable raptor, all because 700hp. I’m one of the few that doesn’t care the raptor doesn’t have a v8, and 700hp would be nice in a street truck, like the Shelby f150, I’m just not sure how well it will translate to an off-road truck that’s purposely used

the big question is where does ram go for a gen 2??? looks like they blew their WOD on this one, no more motors in the stable

The lights in the hood scoop just don't look good IMHO. Like putting on Wal Mart lipstick on a 1500 trying to achieve a Raptor look.

Look, it’s a fancy over priced Ram rebel with a supercharged motor. And I’m sorry but ram trucks are like ********, everybody has one. Now, a Raptor is a way less common truck (although I see gen 2’s all over Long Island). And duck man, a raptor is a ford. They run forever. I’m hoping my gen 1 will run as long as my Ford Expedition with 245,000 miles. Sorry, I’m done ranting.
