I was at Moss Dodge last month, they had a Charcoal T Rex in the showroom, with the dealer markups etc it was $130kPicked up my truck for service at the Havasu dealer and saw this bad boy sitting out front. 710 hp TRX aka T-Rex. Sales guy said $100k ish. Engine has this image of a T-Rex chasing a velociraptor.

I drove one around the block, Holy Hell! I’d love one, actually nicer than a Raptor designed years ago.
Fixed it for ya
The new Raptor ought to give the TRX a run for its $$$
These are street trucks with power that few will/can use offroad. And using that much power off road is an invitation to get thread-famed on internet forums
The new raptor-R will kill the trex all around. Our owner will be getting one of the first to roll out.
Raptor owners would still have a V6 if the TRX didn't come out and pushed the envelope.
The raptors are better in every way.
with the dealer markups etc it was $130k...Or, about $5k less than I paid for my house
Lol!I like both trucks but this is factually inaccurate. At minimum, the TRX wins the HP war. So that isn't *every* way. Maybe you meant "the raptors are better in every way that matters to me"?

after all... it is a F150The raptors just look so much better IMO.
The charcoal example I saw was one color alsoI like the overall look of the TRX. Just think they went overboard with the two-tone colors. Seems like it’s the Dodge brand thing to do.
The only version i could get to build out in one color was Black. Added some bead locks and the launch control and came in at just under $80k. I’d have no issue driving this around. You’d break some hearts in the Fast n Furious crowd.

Lol 60mph I would be surprised if they could do 30mph.I am still waiting to see one of these amazing 100k factory ”off-road“ trucks take Barstow main at sixty. I will admit they look great at the mall and are fun to drive around town. Now if somebody has some video of a factory truck doing this I will change my opinion until then they are cool nice trucks but not “off-road” supertrucks.
Not everyone wants a truck with 20k of custom suspension work. If we are just talking bang for the buck, then starting with a new halfton is a pretty stupid thing to do. These fill a market niche and Ford has been incredibly successful doing it.You could take any new halfton spend 20k in suspension and smoke Raptors and Trex’s with ease.
When is the last time that you were in sand and thought, "Gee, I wish I had less power" Not saying these are sand machines, just saying it aint useless all the time.700hp in a trex off-road is completely useless.

let’s face it these trucks are for guys that have allot of money but want to have the badass image.

I doubt it. 700hp in the desert is a fuck ton. That’s getting up there with trophy trucks HP wise and you see what they have to build to be able to use the power.And you could take any Raptor or TRX spend 20K in suspension and smoke your "any new half ton +$20k" with ease. And the "any new half ton" wouldn't have the power. And that's what these trucks are really about. That and posing.
$79,910 isnt with the 710 hp engine I dont think.I like the overall look of the TRX. Just think they went overboard with the two-tone colors. Seems like it’s the Dodge brand thing to do.

My friend is in the sales manager office right now trying to make a deal on this exact truck.I was at Moss Dodge last month, they had a Charcoal T Rex in the showroom, with the dealer markups etc it was $130k
Or, about $5k less than I paid for my house
they look good but hopefully you're deaf. the v6 sounds terrible.
It’s not the best truck building app ever. It only shows one power option available. I only change to all black and added launch control. Comes in at a smooth $80,260. Looks like the first version didn’t calc my add ons.$79,910 isnt with the 710 hp engine I dont think.
Tell him to walk if they give him the sheet with 4 squares and ask him to pick a payment!My friend is in the sales manager office right now trying to make a deal on this exact truck.
Looking forward to hear what kind of deal he walks out with.My friend is in the sales manager office right now trying to make a deal on this exact truck.

Don’t get me wrong these trucks are cool. But let’s be honest they are built for rough fire roads and mostly to look cool on the street. Where most of them will be used.
