Tough decision because the TREMOR is a sharp looking truck.
But then again, and if price is a concern, a TREMOR will be cheaper than a used low mileage 2020 RAPTOR.

If you go for a 2020, I’d definitely look for one that’s still under the 3/36 warranty but these will command a hefty price.

Right? It's a really good looking truck without being 'in your face'. Just a classy looking pickup. Ford nailed it.

Price is always *a* consideration, but not the only one. I've been saving up for awhile and am in a pretty comfortable position to buy either, the question is really which is better suited for what I want to do. I'm leaning Tremor but haven't committed. I'll see what the 2023 orders look like then make a decision.

The good news is there's actually a huge selection of 2019-2020 Raptors within a 200 mile radius of me. I don't have to be invested in negotiations on any given one, there's always another with the same options, roughly same milage, etc. and I don't have to hurry. My current truck is absolutely fine and I have a low milage car as well, plus a work supplied car. I can be slow, methodical, and not get wrapped up in chasing a particular sale. He who cares least wins when it's time to negotiate, after all.

Decisions !

Ok, I’m convinced.
Four Wheeler magazine wouldn’t publish the fuel mileage of Tremor because it’s thirsty.
Four wheeler just tested the Bronco Raptor.
All big smiles. They loved it.

A co-worker drove a real nice late model Camaro. It was stealth and rumbled.
One day leaving work his Camaro seemed to look different. Hmm, was I hallucinating ?
The next day I asked him about his cameo.
He replied saying he traded his V-8 model for a V-6 because of Fuel Consumption.

I am taking an interest in a post ‘17 Raptor with the V-6 eco-boost.
So, my quandary is giving up my ‘77 F350 longbed 4x4 Crew Cab for a Raptor short box.
If I do, the Raptor will feel like driving a sprint car compared to the Crew Cab (6-pack).

You do know that the Raptor and the Tremor have basically the same engine don’t you?

Also, I’m sure the Raptor will be just as if not more thirsty than a Tremor

Stock for stock, Tremor has roughly 10% better fuel economy than 2nd Gen Raptor.

The Raptor might cost more up front, but will hold it's value better than a Tremor when it comes time for resale.
