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)
Unfortunately I can't really agree that the engines
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 could probably have gotten more, but I only paid $66k for the TRX (ordered out of state). Who gave you that for the raptor, are you in CO as well?

I might have gone for the atlas blue if I would have known it was an option for 22. I was going by the online build tool and Velocity Blue was too bright for me. So I went with AMB which looked good in the online pictures but appears to be much darker in pictures on here. They should represent their colors better.

I ordered a 37 in June with them, still don't have it, getting a bit antsy but since I am only paying MSRP, guess I cannot complain! Enjoy, you planning on doing any mods to it?

I ordered a 22 non-37inch in Sept with them and still no VIN.

Which Phil long did you use? They have been telling me for a few months that my VIN is coming “any day now” …. All but given up and at the point I’ll never buy a Ford!
