The 2022 Ford Raptor configurator went live today. You should now kill an hour of your day building a Raptor to your spec. Unlike the previous generations, it’s only available in the SuperCrew four-door version, and that’s a good thing. The SuperCab of previous years was tight on space, especially if you had people sitting back there and had a much smaller fuel tank, requiring frequent fill-ups.
Prices start at $$65,840 with destination. If you click off all the boxes you’ll get to almost $90k. Ouch. For reference, the Ram 1500 TRX starts at $72,020 with destination and can easily cross the $90k mark.
But wait! There is more. The configurator for the Ford F-150 Tremor is also up now. The Tremor, previously a Super Duty package is a stand-alone model on the F-150. It focuses on off-road ability while mainlining a reasonable $51,845 starting price. But don’t think of the Tremor as Raptor Light. The Tremor actually has a higher towing capacity (10,900 lbs) and payload (1,885 lbs) than the Raptor (8,200 lbs and 1,400 lbs).
Have fun playing with those. The new F-150 seems to be awesome vehicles – there is a model for everyone and for almost every budget. Now only if supplier shortages were not keeping them from getting to dealer lots.

Slight tangent:
I recently went to the Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. The Park Rangers were all driving Raptors. Suddenly being a Park Ranger is much more appealing…
I’ve personally always thought being a park ranger sounded appealing. I much prefer the outdoors to a damned laboratory. Sometimes I wish my younger self had been led more by passion than practicality.
The Tremor looks far more appealing, and more practical. I have to admit, the Raptor is a bit too ostentatious for my tastes. I’m sure some people use them for legitimate tasks, but for the most part they seem to be a lifestyle symbol for people without such a lifestyle. At least, the ones I see appear to get little use apart from commuting. Likewise, most Jeep Wranglers I see are driven by privileged teenage girls pretending to have an adventurous side.
The Tremor appears to be lot more attractive and functional. I must admit, the Raptor is a little too flashy for my liking. I’m sure some individuals use them for good purposes cookie clicker, but they appear to be mostly a lifestyle signifier for others who do not lead such a lifestyle. Apart from commuting, the ones I’ve seen look to be hardly used. Similarly, the majority of Jeep Wranglers I see are driven by rich adolescent females who pretend to be daring.
Raptor is one of the best camping/outdoors pickups out there in my opinion( on pair with Tundra). Fits pretty much all the stuff you would need for 2-3 people(I’m talking stuff like tents, stoves and rest of the survival gear https://gritroutdoors.com/outdoor-survival/ you might need while camping). On top of that it basically can get through any terrain(except for extreme ones, but why would you want to go there by car to be fair). The only downside with Ford usually is a waiting period – compared to Jeep or said, Toyota, it takes ages to get your custom one(at least was for me).
I would like to get one speed out
I gained so much after seeing your post! In the past I often played games, this is a fun game for entertainment, but now I will follow you, reading your article will give me more knowledge.
Hello there! Thank you for sharing about the new Ford Raptor configurator. From what I understand, vehicle specs and pricing can be a fun way for enthusiasts to let their imagination run wild. At the same time, it’s important we remember these are real-world purchases that require careful consideration.
It seems Ford has made strides with comfort and practicality on this new Raptor. As with any major purchase, starting a respectful dialogue around balanced viewpoints could help others decide what’s most suitable for their needs. Let Zibtek know if you’d like to explore any part of the review process further!
I really enjoyed exploring the configurator, it’s always fun to see how quickly the price climbs once you start ticking boxes! What stood out to me is how Ford positioned the Raptor versus the Tremor. The Tremor’s towing and payload figures are actually higher, which makes it a more practical choice for people who need capability beyond just off-road performance. The Raptor, on the other hand, feels more like a lifestyle truck—flashy, powerful, and perfect for those who want the ultimate off-road package.
That said, I think Ford did a good job making sure there’s something for everyone in the lineup. Whether it’s the Tremor for utility, the Raptor for adventure, or even the Maverick for budget-conscious buyers, the F-150 family covers a wide spectrum. The only real downside is the wait times due to supply shortages, which can be frustrating for anyone eager to get behind the wheel.
