Which one to buy? I am trying to decide between the 35 package vs the 37 package. Any input from you all?

[ihoffland]

Just ordered my 22 with the 37s and black interior. Can’t wait. The 35s look amazing in person but the deciding factor is I can’t leave well enough alone, so if I bought the 35s I would have thrown 37s on. And ford already confirmed 37s on a 35 truck will void the warranty. I really don’t wanna void the warranty on an $80,000 truck….

First drive review: 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor gets new shocks, still awes

A five-link, coil-spring rear suspension and available 37-inch tires give the 2021 Ford F-150 more capability, but the 35s are more fun.

This dude actually explains the difference in feel quite well in his review.

Yeah & this direct quote says all you need to know:
"Every course revealed the same thing: Raptors with 37-inch tires are more composed, stable, and comfortable, but feel slower and less engaging. The 35s make the Raptor more nimble, and it acts more like a rally truck with a rear end that wants to kick out when pushed through turns on sand or dirt."

Soooo, that being said, & knowing the bulk of the extra weight penalty is in the rims not the tires AND knowing we're talking about the same HO 3.5 EB that gets hyper motivated w/ a simple tune - I'd totally stick w/ my preference & go w/ the 37"s

BY the time I wind up buying one I bet (and hope) you'd be able to order on a lower trimmed Raptor as a stand alone option

The rims? They are both beadlock capable 17s

It’s not just the weight, it’s contact patch, sidewall height, inertia further away from center. Everyone keeps talking about weight of the tires well ya only if you plan on only running those weak ko2s. Most tires stepping up to a 37 from a 35 adds a good 10lbs plus per tire

I’m sure the 37s roll over parking curbs a little better at bed bath n beyond

This sounds a lot like the mtb tire size debate 26 vs 27.5 vs 29. Pros and cons, but at the end of the day we’re talking a couple pounds difference per tire and 5% diameter. They’re really not THAT different in the grand scheme of things.

I had ordered a 35 but never got scheduled. Now that I can get black interior with the 37's thats what I ordered. I just think it will like the look better.

I would think that resale value with a 37” will be higher as well. Less dealer allocations, less 37” were built.

After looking at all the new owners pics of Gen 3s, I'd go 37s hands down.

Me too, I don’t even know how this is a question. lol

Thanks for all your input. I have decided to go with the 35 package. For what i plan on doing with the truck i cant see spending the extra money for the 37 package. I can spend that money on a camper shell and other mods that i would want to do. Again i appreciate the input
