Raptor or Platinum

Which one do you think looks better at night?

Had both, but I still have my Coyote Plat. :wink:

Middle ground: Tremor.

I’d take a Tremor over either.

Agreed, and I did. Bought mine in 2022.

I like the Tremor a lot, but not enough to trade my ‘21 Lariat.

I was in the market for a new truck, so it was a no-brainer. I had a 2018 XLT SuperCab 4x4, but now that I’m married and planning for kids, we needed a SuperCrew. I went with one that has some real ‘oomph.’

CLU vs TRON.

Platinum. My wife had a red and then a blue Raptor, and while they were fun, I prefer my black 502A Lariat. It’s more comfortable and sleek. Small part of me wishes I’d gotten a Limited, but I’m eyeing those retro builds for my next ride. New tech with old-school vibes.

Platinum. I’m kind of over the ‘lit up like a Kenworth’ Raptor and Tremor trucks. Too much going on.

I think the white lighting looks better than the yellow.

I like the yellow—it gives it a darker, meaner look.

Raptor 100%. I’ve driven a lot of trucks, and nothing compares to my Raptors.

But how many Platinums have you had? Sounds like a biased opinion.

When my ‘17 Raptor was in the shop (blew the front diff), my loaner was a 2019 Platinum. I put 6K miles on it, and while it was nice, it didn’t match up to a Raptor. My ‘23 Raptor is an even better ride. What can a Platinum do that a Raptor can’t, aside from massage seats?

Tow more, have a higher payload, and get better fuel economy.

I don’t tow much, and I care more about off-road capability than payload or MPG. It depends on what you need a truck for.

Surprised to see so many folks picking the Platinum. I love the Raptor look, but I’m a Platinum owner, lol.

Went from a ‘17 Avalanche Raptor (amazing truck) to a ‘21 Kodiak Brown Platinum PowerBoost. No regrets!

The Platinum is so comfortable.
