This thread is cute. lol
RAM TRX debut
- Thread starter dsrtdukone
- Start date
Well what is it? Extended travel or just preload adjustment...? If you have extended travel, you have physically/mathematically speaking the same thing as a strut spacer with added preload...
Don't tuck tail and run, I'm down to have an actual conversation as well as talk shit.
I'm sitting at an airport with nothing better to do
I do believe you have me confused as I’m not dumb enough to buy either one so I can crawl around malls, nor am I dumb enough to pay 60k+ for a truck to abuse it off-road...especially like the majority of the dumbasses who will while they took out a loan and financed it for 7 or 8 years to be one of the cool kids.
Keep trying, while you’re at it, please explain how one is to increase articulation without altering the frame or overall track width? I mean, who doesn’t love a daily driver with the turning radius of a semi, but it’s cool because I can fit 37s while I sit 12” off the ground in my 100k 4x4.
Next time, why don’t you contact Ford or Dodge and offer to finance in whole the clean sheet design and tooling it would take for such a small segment truck.
Forrest for the trees...
i would buy the T-Rex simply because it had the V8 and the easter egg under the hood
I'm actually 100% in agreement with your first paragraph. Really, I'm only here because I enjoy debating the technical stuff. I don't care to own either this or a Raptor.
Anyway, your word, articulation is not correct here. We are talking about suspension travel. (no not the same).
A simple boxed lower arm and a nice billet UCA with poly bushings and 3.5" coilovers/bypass is all it would have needed for 16" travel up front.
Your argument is for cadillac ride quality and mine is for a truck that at least will out perform gimmie11s VW powered buggy... Which... It probably won't.
Fantastic?? To say that's a reach is an understatement. The quality, fit and finish is nothing close to fantastic but it's much better than anything GM, Toyota or Nissan.
Not sure what’s up your rectum. The Raptor interior is plenty spiffy. As a matter a fact, it is too cush of an interior for what the truck wants to be...
Articulation, by its very definition is vertical suspension travel, i.e. how far it moves up or down. I know you understand the concepts, but you can’t have your cake and eat it too without a clean sheet design and even then you may not be able to do everything you want while making crash standards, low and high speed cornering, etc.
Who wants a 100k vehicle that beats them to hell? Every time your point gets countered you move the goal posts and bring up something new.
Lower the motor or shoehorn something bigger you have to widen the frame. Widen the frame or increase suspension travel and you increase track width. Increase track width and you increase turning radius. Increase the turning radius and low speed maneuverability suffers. That’s just for beginners in this cascading shit show.
When i test drove one, i also felt the interior was too nice for what i was going to do with it...haven’t seen the RAM in person, but guessing I’ll feel the same.
BTW...concerning “mid-arm”
In the jeep world, on say a rock krawler brand kit...
Mid-arm= stock UCA/LCA mounting points, but adjustable arms, longer shocks, longer coil springs
Long-arm= grind off OEM mounting points and weld on new brackets, longer UCA/LCA, etc, etc.
Could be the cause of confusion...anyway, carry on
Faggits that don’t even own a Raptor or even thinking of buying TRX fondling all the ballz lolz
I appreciate you posting pics but remember I actually have one....i am well aware of what the interior looks like
the pics weren’t posted for you, homeslice...
You are aware that, you owning one, bears no relevance on whether other people would consider the interior of a Raptor, great, right?
Funny part is the ones talking shit about the raptor not having a V8 and how bad it sounds etc etc etc how they love the TRX because it has 700hp V8 etc etc etc aren't buying it anyway. A lot of ppl loving this TRX in the thread but how many said they reserved one? Lol
I would assume everybody talking about how bad the raptor sounds would know more about it and actually know what the interior looks like.
Maybe I gave ppl with an opinion on raptors too much credit??
You are the guy talking shit about the interior, no?
what are you trying to get at? Lol... come on, we know you want to say it... let it out, you will feel better!
Call me crazy but I really like the interior of my truck. I have not sat in one, but what makes the Ram interior a Bentley compared to the Raptors?
As a fellow raptor owner I can say the ram interior is much......MUCH better. I highest trim level rebel is much better than my 2020 recaro package raptor.
