TRX to 2022 Raptor (Atlas Blue)

[cdiddy4224]

I ordered my 21 from Phil Long Chapel Hills and it delivered 10/2. MSRP. No pressure to add anything on on their end. They actually found me financing that was basically free money (I had planned to pay cash) that wasn't their in house financing. I'll be a customer for life after that experience.

Mind me asking what they quoted you? Have a credit union already lined up, but if they can match, I’m game.

I really like it. Thanks for the pics. I ordered atlas as well because I loved the color on my wife's Explorer ST

That is the best "feel good" story of '22 so far!

I’d like to know too

Looking good, any regrets letting the TRX go?

Interesting to hear your opinion…truthfully, I don’t think the hellcat engine is necessarily superior to the HO 3.5, I am pleasantly surprised to find that Gen3 Raptors have been dynoing showing their true TQ figures are actually more to the wheels than rated @ the crank….goose tuned got 518rwtq on stock tune running 91 octane….675-690TQ @ crank, which is effectively more than the TRX esp when you consider the 700-800 lb weight advantage. Throw a tune one the Gen3 to bump that HP 50-100 (depending on how aggressive/fuel) along w/ what I assume will still be a bump
Up in TQ you’ll have a truck weighs 750 lbs less than a Raptor w/ superior suspension/tranny & more TQ, probably still down bout 125-150 HP @ the crank but w/ the lower weight & more TQ . I think you made the right choice….that’s before we get into build quality/longevity/mpg (if any of that even matters)

The length people go to justify their position is mind boggling. Yes hellcat engine isn’t necessarily superior to a 3.5 with 250 less horsepower, the same as your 180 pound gf isn’t necessarily fatter than Gisele.
This is the not superior hellcat engine doing 3.9 sec to 60 with 4 guys (~800lb load) in the truck. Stock.. please stop with the equivalency nonsense.

It’s a damn off roader truck who cares about 3.9 sec 0-60. If I want speed I’ll drive my 992 turbo s tuned 900hp. If I wanted raw race car I’d drive my 991 gt3 rs.

A raptor is a good off-roader daily for me. I’m happy with with 400 or whatever hp it has.

That's a gorgeous truck! Congrats and good luck to you.

Have I not been following along close enough or is this one of the first '22 Raptors we have seen?

There have been a few delivered since December on this forum, but more reported on other formats (fb, etc)

We could have traded trucks I got rid of my velocity blue 21 because they gave me 82500 for it to get a 22 TRX.

I feel like you could have gotten more than 80 though? Was it the same dealership you bought the Raptor from? If so the tax benefits makes up for it

I'd continue your logic here...why don't people compare cars like the 992 and GT3 in their ability to baja sand dunes...it's not what the cars are for.

RAM made the TRX not to be a better off-road truck, but to show Ford wow we have a bigger engine in a RAM...that was quickly discontinued.
