Hey!! I think I may have finally figured out Ford's reasoning behind the new Raptor exhaust!!!

It was 8 kids and 7 chins which is far more poetic.

Wow....two threads are locked over at the FRF....Bambi you bad boy...

I really like the new Raptor speaker behind my ears in driver side headrest. Seems like a game changer. Makes me forget the sound of the SRT supercharger and puts me in a state of Zen.

Lol the kid even brings up $200 insurance as a reason to bash the TRX. My lord

It wasn’t even me I don’t think? I’m just not a beta cuck that will show my soft underbelly to a fetal alcohol syndrome actual beta cuck giving dumpster fire arguments while beating their chest.

And I’ve never gotten ok with walking away from confrontation

I rode that one into a bloody puddle but was my grand entrance so gotta have some swagger

Well it was fun banting while it lasted...Oh,,, there a thread over there called Premature Raptor Delivery......That is just like a welcome sign

 

[JJT07]

No. I have a legit hold on the Raptor R but will cool it

You can put an R on hold even though it hasn't been announced?

Would you get rid of the TRX?

I can't even get my mind right after reading that train wreck. I went by just to catch a comment or 2 and see what it was about but geeeeeez. The amount of downright willful ignorance over there is staggering.

Only what? 2 people made logical and valid points for why they would choose a raptor over a trx, or what makes it better for them, and those were acknowledged for being exactly that. The rest were "it's a dodge" or some form of "I can afford anything i want, but i dont want to pay for 2 less mpg, more for insurance, probably some other stupid stuff i can't recall". Lets sayyyyyy.... 93.78% mindless fanboy crap vs real intelligent conversation.

Now don't get me wrong I have nothing against raptors, nor the people that own them. At least not "because they own a raptor". But if that's the caliber of people that own raptors, maybe I should be a little more leary of them.


And on a side note, if ignorance is bliss that should honestly be a FAR HAPPIER forum.

Ok damnit, I don't even normally care enough to write stuff like this and it's probably a rambling jumbled mess so i apologize, but i had to let it out after seeing that mindless crap from the majority there (not everyone obviously).

Another post I liked that I was gently bantering members over there with, trying to be nice but honest about the Gen 2 Raptor vs. the TRX since I’ve had both and spent some time in a TRX though mine isn’t in yet. This thread stated it…. @Bambi did you see this last post that got closed out?

 

[Raptorgen3]

I’m supposed to have my gen3 between the 10th & 16th, and I’m interested to see how it compares to my duramax.

Big Blue having to play the delicate line of both sides...

To save us from reading all of the posts, what are those 2 valid reasons a Raptor is better for them?

To me it is all personal preference. And at least right now the lack of an V8 is a problem for many with the Raptor.

 

[Raptorgen3]

It’s the land of rainbows and unicorns!
Its probably a good thing they are only driving V6s, otherwise they might get hurt!
I should be careful what I say, they might send their “R” after me, oh I forgot they don’t have one!

 

[Bambi]

Would you get rid of the TRX?

Yeah. Just need agreement from dealer. If it never comes there is no agreement.

Depends on what I’ve done to the trx and what Ford specifically brings out.

I still don’t think Fords interior is there, and with all of the drivetrain testing issues they’re having with the R, they probably will spend all of their development budget on getting that right, which means the raptor interior will stand in on the R. Ram just does interiors well, Ford did not overtake them with the redesign (though it is a lot nicer vs the 2020 and older.

The main one i remember is a guy that legit overlands, and the amount of gas he would have to carry due to range etc.... at least that one made sense to me until i read something about 13mpg raptor vs 11mpg trx. I mean thats still roughly 20% difference if you're trying to pack a single truck for the length of time away that guy seemed to be talking about but i dunno.

I don't specifically remember the other one or ones that were legitimate arguements, but they were at least logical well stated reasons why the raptor was better for their needs. Not junk like "at least its not a dodge" and the other mindless crap.

Don't go read it, its not worth the headache unless you thrive on mindless drama. It was truly staggering
