Meh I'm not a scab kinda guy. They look funny. Either SuperCrew or sport cab like the Shelby F150
Btw I'm going to keep bringing that truck up anytime I quote you just to make sure it's always fresh in your mind
I like it like that. No kids here. That's more than enough room for me and groceries and stuff like that.
F150 Shelby what?!?!?!? lol


I want to like them, but I love having space in the rear seat area. These days I can’t fathom not having a full size cab, then again I have two kids in car seats and dogs lol
No kids here.
But I do have a dog and that's more than enough room for me and groceries and such. Plus, it looks 100% better than the screwcab.


They look pretty bad ass. I don’t love red but it seems To show the flares a little better.
Not gonna mistake this thing for a run of the mill Ram by any means.
That blue though,.........
That looks really good.


Hell yeah that thing looks killer.
Plus its different looking than every other pavement-pounding swinging dick's crew cab.
I love it.
Looks more aggressive. Guy in my neighborhood has a brand new scab Raptor and it looks killer.

We all know the engines power is irrelevant in this series so the only thing that can be argued is fuel efficiency really. I'm going to go with the notion that Ford just had a superior team effort /race engineering as that's one of the most important factors in racing.

Given Corvette racing won the championship 3 of 4 yrs during (both driver and team) the Ford GT race program, you could argue they had the superior team. They all have the same rule book to work from, and BOP is a reality for them all as well. It's how you navigate within those boundaries that separates the good teams from the champions.

The more I see of it the more I like it but, I have always been a fan of wide fender "prerunner" looks

As much as I’d like it to be, that looks photoshopped like a mofo.

It would break upon landing, just like Block’s truck or worse.

I’m pretty skeptical of that. That’s about the height that Ken Block’s BUILT Raptor was jumping taking damage.

Im not seeing the Heavier TRX managing that STOCK, unless Bilstein and Dodge pulled some kind of sorcery with that suspension.

Last thing I read was those Bilsteins are 2.5s, if that’s the case I can see it happening. I’m considering doing a full King 3.0 package but I‘ve got buddies with the 2.5s that handle a Cummins pretty well on 5 footers. It’s the prolonged use that heats the fluid I’d be worried about. This thing is 2000lb lighter so...plus I know the frame was strengthened supposedly beyond the Raptors design. Only time will tell though.

Oh i fully agree, there’s a reason we don’t have video of this jump.

All depends how the landing is shaped... If he's going to flat then it'll hurt, if it's a perfectly calculated down sloped landing it could be just fine. Pictures can be deceiving but that one looks like it'll hurt

I guess all in due time

That interior is killer. I think that's the upgraded interior. So nice. The exterior,...so nice.



Saw a TRX commercial on TV last night. cant say I’ve ever seen a Raptor commercial?
TRX not even on the streets yet and Ram is doing a better job of marketing it than Ford for the Raptor.
Yup. I saw one the other night as well. FCA is killing it with their marketing team.

There is a night time highway video of a TRX in the wild floating around, cant remember where it is.
