ctafoya Report post Posted July 19, 2021 With our hopefully still pending move out of the valley my wife is considering letting her car go for a raptor. I don't like the new body styles but have never driven one. I really like the stance on the first gens. Anyone have one of either the new or older ones? Complaints, issues, etc? Thanks.

CouesFanatic Report post Posted July 19, 2021 You have to be 60+ to own one and never take it off road. Seems that way at least. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted July 19, 2021 Driven many many many miles off road in a Raptor.... they live up to the hype. Suck gas, and aren't what I would call "fast" but they are awesome off road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctafoya Report post Posted July 19, 2021 Might need to go on a test drive. She doesn't need fast, but wants quick acceleration. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ctafoya Report post Posted July 19, 2021 TRX is nice, but she can't have a nicer truck then me. And I don't have 120k to dump in a truck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get one with an ecoboost. 3.5L ecoboost is fast becoming the best gas motor Ford ever built. Mine goes like scalded cat. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwoody Report post Posted July 19, 2021 $120k for a TRX, why, is this the new FJ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ctafoya Report post Posted July 19, 2021 FJ's were fun, but not close to worth $120. I've had two of em. TRX is the new rebel 1500 with a hellcat engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
