Just bought a new Raptor a couple months ago. Do it. You won't regret it.

Have the Tremor V8 with all the bells and whistles. It’s a tank. I’d get it loaded and save some coin. No complaints and have taken it through some tough stuff hunting. I’d put a winch on it, but other than that it’s bullet proof. The reinforced skid plates from front to back are pretty sweet. It has amazing ground clearance and I had the dealer level. It is the same as my other 2007 that has a 6 inch lift.

Why do they call it a Black Widow…that is because your wife kills you when you come home and she sees the note on that bad boy.

Did they ever fix the old engine eating itself issue with the new Tundras? I want one, but the new engines scare me.


That wasn’t a design flaw. It was a few morons in a factory flaw.

Its the same truck just with a different engine and some additional graphics. I have thoroughly enjoyed the base raptor I have. I was between the TRX and the Raptor but as others have stated, the Stellantis connection is always a huge problem in the long run. Also the TRX was far more ridiculous power that I didn't need. Haven't heard much about the new Ram RHO but the Raptor has been a tried and true trim option on the 150 for a long while.

Plus, the raptor looks spooky AF at night.

If you want an unreliable POS, you can't go wrong either way.

I was just forced to buy a new truck because I was tired of dumping money into my 2018 F-150 Platinum. Transmission, timing chain, transfer case under 100,000 miles just out of warranty.

Trucks keep getting more expensive and the quality is getting worse. I wouldn't buy either. Keep the tundra.

Give it at least a year to shake out the bugs. In fact, since it's RAM give it 3 years and stock up on pig mats for fluid leaks in the meantime.

That’s just a WAY overpriced appearance package that looks like shite anyways.




To answer the OP I’d go Raptor, but that just my opinion. And the pic in the OP is not a 2025.

Seems to be the case. This all due to stricter emission regulations?

They rank high on the douche-o-meter but if that doesn’t bother you then pull the trigger

I saw this TRX last Saturday and had no idea Dodge even made a truck like that. I'm not a fan of Dodge or Ford but that TRX looks badass. I only noticed because it says 62.L Supercharged



ETA: 27K miles
$91K

10-4 We have a suburban dad who drives a super Raptor to baseball practice.

It’s never had a piece of dirt on it.

I mean I wouldn’t be blasting through the desert at 110 either as I live in BR, but he ain’t spending my money so more power to him.

Does he have a Raptor R?
