Hi from the Northern Rockies

My TRX finally arrived in April, after ordering July 2021, but at least it's real - unlike my supposed Raptor R.

It's a great truck! Even at 3500 rpm partial throttle it makes my 2020 Raptor feel like a prius. I spend 80% of my time on Forest roads and half in low range and just love it.

I had to do a double take because the second picture it’s so dirty the paint almost looks like the sandblast! Awesome pics and great to see a truck out there working.

Haha! Raptor to TRX transition - the colour combo stays the same!

Looking good. Whenever or if I ever get mine it is going to be used exactly the same way. Glad to hear your happy with it. I plan to get mine dirty too....

I had also ordered in July 2021 and got mine in March 22. Takes awhile to believe it truly has arrived. Congrats on finally getting it! Great photos

i totally thought it was a sandblast too hahaha..... love the pups - that's one happy day!

Thanks -

I had the dealer pull the rear seats, as I did in the Raptor, to give my 4 Labrador Retrievers more room:

And put a Fab Four bumper on so i can push 12-18" logs out of the way easily:

The tyres are poor so I will convert the summers to Falken ATS-3, and run Hakka studdeds in winter, both terrific tyres. The Deck is in and I'm waiting for my Smart Cap.

And -- You know you're not in LA when the 2 Raptors in your drive are chick trucks!

Thanks to all for a kindly welcome; the knowledge here greatly appreciated.

Typical June end of the forest track at 8,000', hike from here.

A John Denver reference I assume!
