At that point you might as well get the Tremor and have a 7.3L.

International start selling the 800a again? Damn that’s a big price jump.

if you want to go slow .. yes. The Raptor will spank the tremor.

BUT I agree, at that price point the tremor is better value BUT based on performance .. the Raptor would eat the tremor for breakfast.

Watch the TFL video where they interviewed the head engineer. At one point, the engineer said his team could all drive the Gen1 and Gen2 off-road with no issue BUT with the GEN3, some of them could not keep up. In that, the GEN3 limits was beyond what the driver could do. WOW!

You do lose an inch of travel with 37s. I think 35s with the gen3 would be the sweet spot!

for my purposes, I’d rather have the ground clearance of the 37s

I was thinking Tremor after my Gen 2...now that I’ve seen the Gen3, I don’t want a Tremor...

Rumor from raptor engineer expect Raptor R starting at $70k without options. I would not expect any A-X plan discount or lease option , with taxes/options/ that dealer mark up , can easy be in the $90-100k + range .

The Five link rear suspension is a game-changer. Ford does it again.

Nobody will by an off-road sport truck- Ford” Hold my beer”

Trucks need leaf spring suspension to be a truck- Ford” Hold my beer”

So what other goodies could the Raptor R get that the regular Raptor won’t? I wonder if they are crazy enough to try an IRS...

Ram has been 5 link for about 10 years, I don’t expect Ford to go IRS and make their halo 150 ‘girly’.

Didn’t know the Ram had a 5-link. Should of expected it- Dodge has gotten pretty good at one-upping Ford lol.

As for IRS in the Raptor R, that is wild conjecture. But Ford has to do more that just drop a 5.2L supercharged engine.

Well the issue with the Ram is that it has a poor payload rating due to the suspension design. But it needn’t be that way as the H2 also had a 5-link and had 2,200lbs of payload so it’s all about the design.

Just giving the Raptor the V8 would be plenty for most people. I expect there are more people wanting that V8 power curve than there are people ready to jump their brand new $70k truck.

I heard order banks on the Gen 3 Raptor will be opening in May. I already notified my dealer to call me the day they open. I've decided to go with the 37 Package, but hoping they offer a Black interior instead of the fugly blue. It's like ground hog day, Ford and their dang Blue interior. Just because your the blue oval doesn't mean your buyers want blue interiors.

My dealer sent me this. Lots of info like the packages/options for the GEN3 Raptor.

Enjoy!

dont forget in normal times the raptor holds its value significantly better than a normal f150
normal times meaning not this crazy used car market where 100k mile trucks are going for new msrp.
