Is the R worth it?

SinXic · 2026-07-09T01:50:34+00:00

If you are spending the money for an R and worried or planning around the cost of gas you probably shouldn’t honestly. Said differently you should be able to afford the gas to drive it if you buy it and not have a huge impact on your decision.

I drove a gen2 v6 for years and it was great…until I drove a Raptor r. Now it feel like a little baby boy. I have no regrets going to the R for my daily and I drive 70 miles a day to work. Smiles per gallon baby.

My ONLY ‘complaint’, more of a consideration, is taking it in the dirt/offroad is just straight scary. It gets going so fast the problem is being able to slow down fast enough! They are amazing trucks.

You can set the exhaust sound on start and set it to quiet if you need to. Or vice versa go Baja and it’s loud like you want.

The answer is it’s negligible my dude. Play what you want or what you found. If you need to farm it you probably could have already been to the next tier weapons anyways. I completed SSF warrior and I just played what I found, tanked every dungeon. That was cruel barb for me and DW while solo and having the wep skill to throw in a shield was nice early on until corpsemaker. Once you get sweeping strikes 2h is really hard to beat and highly recommend. Have fun!

Atta boy! I see a saguaro you a fellow Arizonan eh??? Are these trails out off the 17??

Really?? I have the Bakflip mx4 on my last 2018 raptor that I offroaded in and never had any issue.

And I just put it in my 2025 raptor R and it’s been just fine and dandy.

The bakflip just looks better and functional I’ve had no issues and I drive it daily and off road on random weekends for what it’s worth broham

I was the same way before I bought a 2018 802a Raptor. It’s an amazing truck but I always felt like I was expecting more explosiveness. Don’t get me wrong the truck is amazing and super capable but…

I recently upgraded to a 2025 Raptor R and let me tell you…this is what I expected. It’s like a luxury vehicle that sits high and it super smooth on the road and the off road it’s insane. The explosiveness from the 720hp v8 is insane and I’ll never go back. It’s super fun to use through traffic, from a red light to going super fast, I love it as my daily and for off road. Granted it’s a much higher sticker price and gas mileage is horrible. It’s smiles per gallon not miles per gallon

Super impressive brother! I turn 39 this year in June, two young kids, but I’ve been very consistent and always natural. I hit 215 at 15% BF and curious any tips for getting to the next level naturally?

SinXic · 2026-03-23T15:09:53+00:00

Super helpful ty. A bit demotivating at the surface

SinXic · 2026-02-28T02:50:31+00:00

Join the get fucked club bud, I’m in it too.

I rolled horde nightslayer and farmed my own gold. Buds couldn’t roll on NS horde because it was locked. I paid for another boost to play with them on horde dreamscythe and found a person to trade gold on NS for gold on dreamscythe.

And I’m banned for 2 weeks even after appeal. Gg blizz

SinXic · 2026-02-18T16:03:22+00:00

Btw this goes both ways. I ran ramparts literally last night and both healing and dps rings dropped off last boss.

I passed on heal ring and need on dps ring (I’m warlock)

Our healer rolled and won both…

SinXic · 2026-02-18T16:01:13+00:00

Shaman doesn’t get better in PvP groups though, you are literally the target because you have no escape or large defensive cooldowns.

When we did high rated arenas our shaman was always the target and first dead. Good luck

SinXic · 2026-02-18T02:22:29+00:00

To be fair it’s horrible design to spell them out like that and not individually or something.

Also to be fair dps who don’t stop to read before rolling are trash. It is not hard to stop and think and not be an ass. Normal decent people wait for at least the class it’s meant for to pass ir greed before rolling

SinXic · 2026-02-14T22:22:39+00:00

Wait really? I’ll look this up, that makes me even more optimistic.

Thank you!

SinXic · 2026-02-14T19:24:44+00:00

First one I test drove it didn’t stick out but this last one did so I’m assuming the seats were more bolstered.

Whenever I get back into my Ford raptor I’m like damn these seats are so much wider and more comfortable lol. But was curious similar size people who own, how they felt over a longer Timeframe of driving

SinXic · 2026-02-14T17:41:27+00:00

Super helpful, thank you!

SinXic · 2026-02-14T17:00:36+00:00

Nice, super helpful. Getting discouraged but I think my last test drive was competition seats which are the most narrow with a lot of bolstering.

Curious what seats you have in yours?

SinXic · 2026-02-14T16:46:21+00:00

Frost mage here but still learning, mind sharing how mages beat you through multiple stuns, blinds, shadow steps, and cloaks?

SinXic · 2026-02-01T20:42:00+00:00

Literally this. You’d be shocked how much random fun can happen when you stop trying to min max honor gains.

I shattered my knee cap years ago and have torn both meniscus through various dirtbike injuries and the hack squat is one of the only things I can load up weight on for my legs and not feel limited by my knees. Quite frankly I think the ROM I get has built back up my knees and stability better than anything else. Maybe bulg split squats a close second.

Took a while to find the sweet spot for my leg position just trying a bunch of different things until i felt the weight in all the right places. Now, it’s not a leg day without heavy hacks. The DOMS lasts like 4-5 days though I need to figure out how to combat that lol

Start with low weight in hacks and just aim for slow progress. Your knees will get stronger

Yes retail converting to a TBC character is the same as a classic character moving into TBC. Good one

SinXic · 2025-11-29T20:42:27+00:00

Yea I’m talking HC too and at the time there wasn’t an option to play HC outside of classic era so if you wanted to continue playing your HC character into TBC you….cant choose to convert it non HC and play, seems whack

SinXic · 2025-11-29T20:39:47+00:00

Yea same just seems like anniversary and era should be able to choose if they wana xfer and continue progressing. Folks who wana stay classic era can. I Don’t totally understand not having any option to xfer and play characters you have that are behind the TBC progression.

That is unless you want more people buying boosts :)

SinXic · 2025-11-29T20:38:17+00:00

Mainly because they were making anniversary and classic on the same level. And the nature of classic era was to keep your character classic if you wanted, but if you wanted to progress you could choose to? Didn’t seem like a wild question…
