Why 700hp instead of 705hp?

Can't wait to see what @GooseTuned does with his personal R. Ford had to send him one, right?!?

I’m with LVsFinest on this one. Jump over the TRX in HP and they start working now to bumps theirs up for MY23 to jump the Raptor. Slow roll them to think they are still on top and outperform them for at least a year as Ford works on the MY24 refresh.

I wish! It would be nice to get one. Maybe one day!

I think they won’t up the TRX HP, they are going to put it on a diet and try to beat Fords weight advantage. They get better performance and agility along with increased fuel economy.

How? The only thing that sounds reasonable is fiberglass hood and fenders. How much would that save? Or are they already fiberglass?

Just my 2 cents. It's still going to handle like a TRUCK. Good luck keeping that on the road. Lol. Average person can't even handle high HP cars

There a 1000 ways to save weight, lighter wheels and tires, thinner body panels, smaller and shorter bolts, lighter seats, thinner glass more aluminum etc…a pound here and there adds up.

Great to see Ford back on top with the R. With that being said, I find it annoying they built a trophy truck just to top the TRX. Cause we all know the R is way too expensive to take off-roading. Lets not forget to mention it'll need some heavy mods to control all that power. With that said, I'd take one in a heartbeat if I could afford it.

The R has "2" more inches (that's what she said) in tire diameter. Does that count for anyting?

Every design change costs money. And then there's the fundamental trade off: fast, light, cheap. Choose any two.
