2022 Raptor Confirmed to get V8 from GT500

The hood on the Trx is much meaner looking.
Yep. Love the hood on the TRX for sure. The rest of the truck has many similarities to the Rebel tho. The Raptor has a little more of a unique look.

TRX walked this one but it can't beat the Super Snakes

I'm actually surprised. The Gen 2 Raptor with an intake, intercooler, tune, and exhaust lost to the TRX by maybe 5 feet. That's on 37s and a lift. Stock ride height and tires probably would have beat the TRX. Everyone knocks the Gen2 Raptor but add maybe 3k in mods and its very competitive. Still sounds like a tin can lol but impressive nonetheless.
 
FYI I like your channel...
Thanks man. Appreciate it. Working on growing and getting better. Got a couple youtubers on the forums. Knightmare has a channel too (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgL4h7_Eq1Mwk0UUAwN73pA). Gotta get our boy monetized. He is gonna beat me to the TRX content. I'm a little jelly that he is gonna beat me too it but happy for him too lol. I promise I will not destroy my TRX when I get it.

Little insider info, working on buying back my first truck I had in high school. 1999 ram 1500. Be cool to compare my first truck and my newest truck when the TRX gets here. See how far ram has come. Thanks again for the positive feedback.

Dude I been trying to buy back my original Hellcat. I tracked it down to a dealership in Massachusetts and it was sold the week before I called looking for it. I wanted to get it back since it is granite as well and would have been great content to see the evolution from 2016 to 2021 Hellcats

That would be a cool comparison. The actual truck you owned? I like the video on the 20 vette. How is that going? I’ve been thinking of getting one in a couple of years . The Trx will be good for a while. I hope you get monetized soon . Put in an order for the 21 raptor ASAP so you can compare them etc. That will bring tons of viewers. Good luck.

The exact truck I owned. I sold it to someone I knew cause I was tight on money for college and they might be getting rid of it. Its rusted to oblivion but that's New England lol. I think 2-3 years from now will be the best time to buy a mid-engine vette once the hype wears down. Great car. I love it. Doesn't beat a truck tho :) I have a feeling I am going to like the TRX more.

Just wondering if there were any trucks built yesterday? Thanks

I'm sure there were, but the build sheets always show up the next working day, so Friday builds typically show up on Monday morning. We normally only see window stickers over the weekend. I assume this is because the regular production line is not operating. It would make sense that the production line is an all or nothing and wouldn't work for volunteer shifts since everyone has to be there for an assembly line to work. Some departments are open to those that volunteer. Since we see window stickers I assume QC is allowed to continue working through the weekend trying to catch up.

Thanks , I guess I should’ve known that but getting old ain’t for woossies... I feel young, it’s just my body and brain disagrees sometimes. 😄

But what if you spent 3K on modding the TRX?

There’s no replacement for displacement. ;)
 
It's about to be on!
From this report looks like the competition about to heat up for Ram. Apparently it was confirmed a couple days ago that the Ford Raptor will get the engine from GT500. And there may be a hybrid Raptor coming as well that use a version of the current 3.5L Ecoboost engine in a hybrid setup.

There will be a V6 Raptor in 2022 this year and then the V8 version to come by summer of 2022 based on the article...
I bet 1000 the gt500 motors will only be available in a raptor R variant or a Shelby raptor and they will be north of 130-140k. There asking 120-130k for a Shelby gen 2 raptor now and it only comes with bumpers front and back , a tune, and Shelby badging for a up charge of 50-60k . But hey I could be wrong haha

True true. Can't compare stock TRX to a modded Raptor. But fun to watch.
Have to consider the TRX is about 10k-15k more expensive. In the off road segment, I would say the Rebel is a great 50k truck, the Raptor is a great 60k truck and the TRX is a great 70k truck going base prices.

I agree with that! I think.(and that can be scary) The TRX Is going to take away some arrogance, And confidence from Ford! But we got to give them credit they got the ball rolling!!! And I currently own, And have owned several.
