The new raptor drives different and it feels more limber. These new shocks are pretty bad ass. I’m hearing the new raptor is going to be over a 100 grand. Too much for now

If Dodge can get over 100k for a front heavy nose diver, then Ford should be able to get 100k for an improved Gen 3.

So that’s the consensus, the TRX is a heavy pig? Way front heavy and unbalanced? Unfortunately the pricing structure for these trucks has now gone way way north. If Ford wants to undercut the TRX in price, that would surely keep the
Raptor on top too. Even if this dream of a 5.2 or Godzilla was released lol

To me, its just too damn expensive to get into a raptor, glad I did it 10 years ago and can continue to upgrade as needed.

Yes, it's a pile of money, but people are paying a bunch for hard loaded 1/2 ton trucks. I figure I probably paid 10-15k more than a similar msrp Limited, King Ranch, whatever. I fully expect to get a good chunk of that back when trade in or sale time comes.

Correct, they do hold their value really well. There is that side to it.

Please compare the Recaros to the standard seats in your '18. Thinking of my next trade-in.

That’s what we are hearing. For a ‘19 there is no upgrade path yet.
