And I have the new Tremor with the new 7.3 gas motor and she hauls ass. I’d prefer to see them put that motor in and open her up.
Here’s some driving time:
The 7.3 is the wrong motor for the Raptor. Its a HD truck motor. A work horse if you will.
It will be great to hot rod in the future when they start filling junk yards but im not buying Ford would be pushing that engine in their halo truck.
I'd bet the Raptor gets their new hybrid engine and it will have close to 650lbs ft of torque

When I bought my Raptor I was really torn between it and the Super Duty in the Tremor Package and 7.3L V-8. If memory serves me correctly, you have both the Raptor and the SD Tremor. Which one do you prefer?

That’s truly a tough answer and if I had to chose I’d take the Tremor. And only because she is more versatile being towing and weight capability. And yes the new 7.3 motor is just bad ass. But damn the Raptor for sure on the bad ass package. It would have to be an economics decision to pass on the Raptor otherwise Raptor is just such a nice truck
and fun. Which if Ford drops the 7.3 motor in her and even does not supercharge her she will
still be a hell of package.

I appreciate the response. It was hard to not buy the Tremor. After a couple of big wind storms, I’m disappointed in how the Raptor gets pushed around. Maybe I should have bought the Tremor after all?
That said, I keep thinking how much better the Raptor would be with a Supercharged V-8. The exhaust note is pretty terrible. I’m really hoping Ram gives us a complete package with the TRX, and that the price is in line with the Raptor.
