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.
I've said it several times now. The more off-road oriented you go, the more your on road performance suffers.@blk02edge
Why do you think Ram simply matched the Gen 2 Raptor tires and suspension instead of going for the kill and going with 37's with the proper suspension to match? Do you think it's a simple as MPG rating?

These are still very much luxury street trucks which will be daily driven and need to maintain their street manners.
Dirty 7's are on another level in terms weight, cost, balancing challenges and drive train/suspension wear.
To increase travel more would mean to increase width and height more, which means even less a chance this beast will fit in garages and parking spaces. Tweaking spring rates and rear suspension will also halve your tow/payload and you'll likely get a firmer ride on the road.
What's happening my brother!!@tones_RS3 a Regular cab short bed TRX would be the way to go
No comparison.There's one battle Ram is superior at to Ford, the interiors are on another level of niceness.
Ford stayed away from 37s because that wheezy v6 cant pull them.
Rumor is RAM TRX comes out with 40s from the factory next year.
Well that's just not gonna happen...Ford stayed away from 37s because that wheezy v6 cant pull them.

Because it was very simple to do and gets the monkeys fired up. It's very true that the more radical the suspension gets the worse the road manners but they absolutely could have stepped it up more than what it is and run a 6.4 NA engine that would be nicely suited to the suspension levels while keeping the price somewhat sane.@blk02edge

You forgot power and torque as well.There's one battle Ram is superior at to Ford, the interiors are on another level of niceness.

Different strokes different folks.... People who drive to Starbucks are the main people that will be stuck on repeat with this debate. People who honestly care about offroad won't care at all about the TRX vs Raptor debate, they'll be buying aftermarket suspension and doing their own builds

Ram now has that too now.

These threads pass time no doubt but in all seriousness I feel like the TRX has a chance to blow the gen 2 out of the water and it didn't. I feel like for the 90k price point the TRX should have a mid travel kit and 37s . @Corbic mentioned garages and parking spaces but but I don't by that for multiple reasons .
Again.So that was kinda my point, after seeing and riding in a mid travel kit raptor I don't think the compromise was too great on the road for the TRX to have that along with 37s.....

So suspension wise what do you see the direction going for the Gen 3?
