Cybertruck is IT.
Raptor is always the gold standard to me. Great to hear your thoughts on the comparison. Thanks for sharing! Picking up our CT today. ?I have a 2022 raptor, 37 package, with the blue leather interior package. 27k miles. After a week and a half of ownership with the cyber truck, I am seriously considering selling it. The drive is definitely better. It is easier to drive and the suspension is so far better going over bumps and cracks in the road. Nothing lost in the rear seat, which I am so happy about because my family loves it back there. Now they’ve got huge 9.1 inch screen they can watch Netflix on for road trips.
All that to say, all the off-roading I’ve done w the Raptor now brings me to the one unexperienced unknown, which is needing to take the cyber truck off road in Baja mode. I’m not in a rush to do it to be honest, because I am enjoying it so much at this point without needing to wash it and the in town drive. I am not a major off roader, but I have sent the raptor on a few 60 foot plus jumps and I will say if the cyber truck can do that, that would be amazing too. Tough decision. She’s detailed and ready to go. I just have to commit to selling it. So hard!
I really didn’t expect Tesla would deliver such an amazing truck.
I agree, I had a TRX in between my 2020 and 2022 Raptor ….. it’s not even close in comparison. Granite my trucks saw time Off Road then they did on pavement, which is what most TRX owners care about.
I have owned several Broncos including a Raptor and one design flaw is that the doors dig into the paint when the body flexes on very rough terrain. I haven’t yet tested the CT off road but I imagine it will be stiffer and there is no paint to chip. Jeep understands this and uses a bunch of foam and gaskets so you don’t chip your paint but Ford hasn’t quite figured it out yet. I don’t think you will be too impressed with the Bronco Raptor off road on smoother stuff compared to the CT but the 37s combined with the beefy frame and suspension design will allow you to do burlier stuff off road without worrying too much about breaking things. The Baja video showed the CT hitting its nose on a dip and that cracked the windshield, and Heavy D also broke the car on a dip, etc. Bronco Raptor will not bottom out as easily.
Sold my 2018 Raptor, been a truck guy for years, just recently sold my 2024 Ford F350HO once I got the configuration email. Drove a Cyberbeast a few months back, waiting for my own now.I have a 2022 raptor, 37 package, with the blue leather interior package. 27k miles.

Delivery was 4/29 but now they moved it to 5/1 (Weds). I got the VIN maybe 4/22 on a conversion from reservation to order 2/22. This is Foundation AWD.
I’m 6’5” and will let you know how I feel when I pick mine up this afternoon ?
Dang… you gave up the F350HO? I have a 23 F350HO… I LOVE that engine. They will have to pry that truck from my cold dead hands. I will keep it along side the CT… just to handle the big stuff and any long hauls I need to take. Those trucks hold thier value… I got mine for 92K because of XPlan, incentives, etc. KBB still shows it at 100k. I’m guessing you did well on selling your 24.
The dealer wouldn't accept XPlan I would assume due to it being just before end of year. I don't tow anything heavy, my Ford Edge or Winnebago Ekko can tow what needs to be towed. If I was pulling a 5th wheel or something heavy I would've kept it. Lost a little but gained taking advantage of Section 179 tax deduction that the CT will be replacing once received.
