gotcha
Hahaha🤣
Being a Ford guy & the fact that I'm a salesman at a Ford dealership, I'm extremely happy to see these results!
My condolences 🙄
Yet one might ever see is one Raptor R ever in that dealership....
Ford is garbage just look how much y’all spent on recalls last year .. wait till these new trucks get a couple years old lol you’re gonna have your hands full.
I talked my friend out of getting a new maverick and into a used Subaru outback for this reason not gonna let him guinea pig your guys new Teck junk for you. Y’all broke records last year with the crap you put out and not in a good way.
I can’t believe somebody would buy one of these new trucks and think for a second it’s gonna last him anywhere near as long as the trucks you guys made 20 years ago did
The American carmaker issued a total of 67 recalls in 2022, a full 22 recalls more than the next highest manufacturer, Volkswagen, which filed 45 recalls. Daimler Trucks follows closely behind at 42 recalls in 2022, with Stellantis coming up fourth at 38 recalls. Rounding out the top five with 35 recalls is Forest River Inc., a recreational vehicle manufacturer.
Out of those 67 recalls, 12 of them are powertrain related, according to the DOT. A further eight recalls had to do with "back over prevention," which usually relates to back-up cameras or sensors malfunctioning. Other causes for recalls at Ford include electrical system faults, fuel system problems, and airbag malfunctions.
Ford has been dealing with quality issues for years. It's struggled to launch new models on time and recalls, complaints, and warranty claims have weighed heavily on service departments, driving down the company's bottom line. In a recent interview, CEO Jim Farley said fixing quality was the brand's "number one priority," and that "it’s going to take several years" to make it right.
@@joatmon1857 - still drive ford since 1998, Zero issues. Yes recalls, but there were zero issues otherwise.
On exhaust note I love the sound of the TRX. Raptor R sounds damn good too. Hummer might be faster on asphalt but it wouldn't keep up with the Raptor R or TRX off road. I'd be curious how close of a race it would be with matched gear ratios. I know TFL only tests how they come from the OEM. I'm thinking the Raptor R has it's slight edge because of the 4:10 rear end and weighing 500lbs less than the TRX.
Not only that, the TRX is in 4 wheel drive the entire time and the raptor r has a 2 wheel drive rear option.
I was thinking the same thing from early in the video - put the RaptoR on low profile, light wheels and sticky tires - let's see what it can do then with the lowered gearing and much lower unsprung weight. Put the truck on the dyno and compare as well - you will see big gains in HP and Torque the lighter you can go on the wheel/tire combo. Excellent video!
Well if you're going to make excuses for that POS Ford then we get to make upgrades to the TRX
No need to make excuses, it’s clearly the faster truck even running on 37’s.
i personally appreciate the $200 in gas that was spent to film this hahaha!
You are showing zero respect for the climate hoax. How dare you be an independent thinker in 2023.
@@ihelpidiots5102 hahahaha
😂😂😂
And 100$ of electricity
Thanks to our current administration it only used $75 in gas that now costs $200!
Love how Andre grips the wheel tightly with both hands while Case sits back with one hand on the wheel like he's cruising down the highway. 😄
Andre is definitely milking it for the video lol his reactions are always exaggerated but he's a cool dude lol
Came here to see this comment. I can't take the kid serious when he's so lackadaisical behind the wheel.
Case also needs to scoot the seat up a bit further in the TRX so he can go full throttle! 😂
Not holding the steering wheel properly at 3 and 9 o'clock may cost him his (and maybe others) life someday in many different circumstances...... I fell asleep driving home after nightshift one time, and because i was holding the steering wheel properly, I woke up when my arms hit my legs. If I had been holding the steering wheel with one hand at the bottom, may not be writing this now...
@@alsheremeta Sounds like less of a problem with how the wheel is held, and more of a problem with driving while falling asleep.
I’m a trx fan but I love how the raptor r sounds and looks 😮
That Raptor R totally surprised me! I'm a ford guy through and through and absolutely love my f series trucks. That Raptor R is amazing! Can't believe it beat the TRX.
I am just surprised the Hummer EV made it to the end of the track without breaking down 🤣😂🤣
I know right? At this point I think racing it is a bit sketchy lol
I'm surprised the Ford made it!
@@fireant1272 First On Race Day
@@fireant1272 Ford has always made it that's why dodge worked for Ford cuz they wish they could be their daddy Ford.
@@fordflexking2014 my EcoBoost only made it to 23k miles then had major issues. My 6.0 diesel only made it to 60k miles then had major issues they had to take the cab off to rebuild motor lastly my 5.4 triton only made it to 90k miles then it kept blowing out spark plugs and transmission went out. Junk junk junk.
The HUMMER didn't break down today...it's a miracle.
I believe in miracles
🤣🤣
10 minutes after filming was over...
I like seeing the goal post get moved when combustion vehicles get smoked. 😂 like Dodge is known for their reliability! 😂
😂
I'm a TRX guy, but damn, good for raptor finally. 😜 Ram still kills interior though😉
Heres to hoping the TRX Demom comes out lol
@@robertsoria9293 my god💀🤤
Basically the trx is better because you are getting almost the same thing as the raptor r but like 50k dollars less
You guys are a joke
TRX In real life
Great job by Ford on the Raptor R. Can't go wrong with that or the TRX.
Have I told you guys how much more I love this race spot then the IMI ?
That Raptor R is fast. I laugh that Ford for so many years try to tell us we didn’t need a v8 Raptor. Yea we do!!!
I really wish greed wasn’t a factor and that there wasn’t 3 different models of the gen three 3.5 w/35” tires, 3.5 w/37” tires and then the raptor r. Wish every truck was just a raptor r.
@@waynekeizer5720 the V6 is better for offroading. Better torque profile, less weight (less pogoing off the front shocks), and better fuel efficiency.
i had faith in the TRX but it lags greatly against the Raptor R..smh😢
I think that depends on what type of off roaring your doing. I have the 3.5 gen 3 and I deff wish I had more power. But I live in Arizona in the desert so we have a lot more high speed stuff here then like somewhere like Colorado. I do think they should have just came with 37”s across the board for sure though.
@@waynekeizer5720 Fair point. In Texas we mostly have hard stuff that even really built machines have to slow down for....so power is rarely an issue. Tbh, there's maybe 1 or two times where I really wanted more power, and in those situations I'm not sure I'd have been able to put it down anyway.
Now that my favorite off-road park is shut down, I'm even more envious of the great public land y'all have to play in!
I’d love to see what the r would do on 35s the regular raptor has.
This regular raptor is on 37s
@@Tallnerdyguy The 3.5 TT Raptors come with 35s or 37s.
@@Tallnerdyguy no they don't. The 37" tires are an additional, more expensive option...
@@richfarfugnuven6308 Read his post again, he said "This", not all Raptors.
@Gary S he also says "regular". Regular Raptors are on 35" tires. This is an additional, more expensive option, which is what I was pointing out...
I hope you put the trucks in neutral to prevent the rev limiter that many companies put on.
Either the Raptor R or TRX. Love the V-8 sound.
I'd take that raptor R. That hummer ev is a pos.
Would be awesome if they also had the first Gen SVT Raptor I'll take the first Gen even though it's not in this video Raptors are proven and tested and used in the BAJA 1,000 where the TRX is not tested or used in the BAJA 1,000 to actually say it's King of OFF Road Trucks
Raptor R also is super ridiculously expensive as well which is unfortunate
@@texandy89 so the Hummer EV 🙄😅😂
@@carllovullo6602 yes I know I'll never be into in fully electric vehicles the Hummer EV is just a show truck that's it
@texandy89 gotta pay to play. Honestly the regular raptor will be plenty enough for most people. If you don't off road just buy a 5.0l f150 and put a Whipple on it. It would handle a raptor easily.
Can't get behind the sound of that twin turbo 3.5. give me a good old V8 in a full size truck supercharged or not. I think the Raptor R sounds the best.
Big difference between a pushrod 2 valve that’s 20 years old (in its 3rd generation) and a dohc 4 valve that was designed from the ground up in 2010.
For some reason I never get tired of watching drag race videos of trucks I can’t afford lol. Keep the videos coming race them backwards next week I’ll watch lol
Man, we live in a great time for trucks. Ford Raptor R, Ram TRX, both are badass and I’d be happy with either one. Good video guys
Same
Thanks TFL and all the truck owners for doing this awesome race! That Predator engine gets my vote! ❤️
One had a predator engine? Like the harbor freight lawn mower engine? Pretty neat
@@pryme2013 I'm on my way to harbor freight to get a few right now! my mini bike is gonna smoke that raptor R
Hellcat more durable
@@ronldg805heck yeah dude 😎😂
Great video guys. Love the RaptorR. Its sounds beautiful & I’m not surprised by the results. identical Horsepower, less weight, & better gearing. It makes sense.
Very cool video… your channel is the only „crazy“ one who shows such a content👍🏼.
I am impressed from the performance of the new RaptoR…
It was clear that the Hummer EV is a beast over 1/4Mile but a beast without any emotions.
I hope Ford , RAM and GM will still continue to build also trucks with V8 Sound and Emotions.
By the way I drive a RAM 1500 in Switzerland 😉…
Thanks to the complete TFL Team
Look forward to see more from you guys
Ahhh nothing like seeing the two duo going at it with they’re V8 super trucks 😮💨😮💨😌🤘🤘
Love the car seat in the Raptor R. A real family guy. There was someone on the Ford Raptor Forum who weighed his 17" Forged wheels with the 35" KO2s and then with the 37" KO2s and found the 37"s to be about 1.5 lbs lighter. So maybe the 37"s don't play that big of a roll in slowing down the times.
- Ford Forged wheel + stock 35's weight was 103.2 lbs
- Ford Forged wheel + 37's weight was 101.6 lbs.
Race 4 times, back to back in the Hummer, and see if it still works.
hahah it wouldnt win the third race
Ford sucks!
Why wouldn't it again? 🤔
@@4literv6 it’s broken down like 4 times 😂
@@freedomisntfree_44 ah gotcha so because Roman has issues with his it's unreliable then?
The Raptor R nails it! It’s got the looks, it’s got the most fantastic burly V-8 sound and just flat out hauls arse! And I suspect that the Hummer was making more than its 1,000 initial rated hp simply because of how fast and hard it launched that 9,000+ pound lead sled. That instant torque from those electric motors was wild. And that Carolina squat. It was entertaining to watch as it kicked the Raptor R’s beak. Until it splat faced against the speed governor.
It’s not even burly, it sounds straight up like a race car in Baja mode.
I was a little disappointed you didn't race the hummer and Raptor R from a roll. That may have been a little different since the electric junk runs out of steam at the top end. Overall it was pretty good. I love the Raptor and the R variant, but the ram sounds the best in my opinion.
Finally! Great video guys! If anyone is curious about what the Raptor R does the 1/4 mile at sea level, it's 12 seconds flat from what I've seen.
Yes....but Car & Driver claimed that after 110 mph @ 11.1 seconds the RaptorR's speed limiter started kicking in already and holding it back.
@@johnyvoth4916 fr.
@@richardmodglin3900 that's going to be the case for any of these big off road trucks. They are speed limited due to their tires.
@@howiekearney
I know why they have a limiter. What I was pointing out was that the speed limiter started kicking in well before 114 mph limiter.
@@richardmodglin3900 oh really? I misunderstood. So you're saying the limiter was pre mature? Maybe a slight variance with the speedo be gps. They are rarely the same.
Awesome video guys!!! 👏 Great job!!!
Great video to kick off my Saturday morning. Thank you !
The TRX still gets my vote in the REV Battle.
Other video shows trx wins
It's the driver I guess
I hope TFL gets a Dark Horse Mustang...watching these Raptors reminded me of that car
The Raptor R almost lifts the front wheels off the ground! Awesomeness! The raptor took the TRX to gapelbeez. I’m selling my TRX immediately
Andre in both trucks the TRX went 13.13 to the raptors 13.29 the TRX still wins the kid couldn't launch it.
@@1wide7 13.31 for the Ram
World record for the TRX is 3.6 0-60 and 12.1 quarter mile. At sea level, on a prepped strip. The Raptor R matched those numbers when it was half a mile above sea level and on a road.
@@The-fs5wn More than just drag times though. There are more settings to the TRX that could be optimized for this. How do they both do in a Baja setting instead of a flat race, which they're more made for.
@@teacatstudios3236 Raptor wins Off-road pretty much, it's already been said many times over that it's much more confidence inspiring and has a way better balance in weight and suspension so when it jumps or hits hard bumps it absorbs and lands properly and soft. Very polished and poised and well mannered. The TRX is good too, but it's heavy front weight and overall abilities don't match the Raptor as well.
Case is a good addition to the crew. Keep giving him more spotlight
Love the drag races. I can't help it, the TRX is my favorite. Even though it lost I have a sentimental attachment to it because of all the great videos you did with the one you owned. Great video guys
🥴
I’m not a Ram guy, but I do wish they had kept their TRX since it was the first one off the assembly line and for sentimental reason. Also wish they had kept their blue 1st gen Raptor from years ago.
I owned a Gen2 Raptor and now I own a TRX, and although the Raptor R is the faster truck now, I will take a TRX all day long at my 82k price tag for a fully loaded one vs the 110k price tag for the Raptor R. I cant see paying 6 figures for a truck.
@@sensei2121 you have a point, however it was not too long ago when all the Ram fanbois were all crazy about the TRX being a better truck than the Raptor, not realizing it’s because it’s $10-15 thousand more than the Raptor at the time.
@@sensei2121 the reason behind the hefty price tag of R is the Predator engine. It’s over $40000 alone as a crate engine.
Great video! But I wanted to see the rolling race between the R and hummer.
I do love the Raptor R sound best but their interpretation of the Hummer sound was creative.
Great video, great races. But I loved the exhaust notes of both the TRX and the Raptor R. Nothing better than that V8 sound.
Gas sounds bad try diesel for sound 7.3 hopped up no smoke all power
@marcusjennifer785 Bro just wants to be “different.”
I know Throttle House did it already but I want to see a race on the dirt! To my ear that Predator exhaust note is so raspy and fire breathing…. Have to say it’s my favorite.
The V6 Raptor needed to spool up its turbos. But the Raptor R sounds great.
Wouldnt have made a difference
Nathan’s ice cap joke was the perfect start
That was a super fun video guys!
Thank you for watching.
The raptor has 37” tires the race was way farther apart then it seemed. Plus the Raptor has real off-road suspension.
Raptor R comes stock with 37” tires
So what? The RAM weighs 500 pounds more even with the smaller tires and it has 18 inch wheels vs the 17 inch wheels on the raptor. The TRX has brakes that are over one inch bigger than the Raptor R’s. The TRX also has heavier duty D load rated tires versus the Raptors C rated which makes them heavier per inch. So in total the one inch bigger wheels, higher load rating, and 1+ inch bigger brakes are heavier in rotational mass than the 2 inch bigger tires on the Raptor.
The Raptor also has a 4.1 final ratio vs the TRX 3.55 & 10 speed transmission vs the 8 speed on the RAM so any gearing advantage of the smaller tire diameter is nullified plus some.
@@epap1375 You have an excuse for every race you lose, don't you?? LOL!!!!
@@epap1375 right, the raptor R is way better than a TRX
@@jacobwalls452 it’s better not way better and deff not 50+K better. You can buy a TRX and a mustang GT for the same price as a Raptor R. Once ford dealerships stop fleecing people than it would be a viable option at msrp until then it only makes sense for the filthy rich or die hard ford fan boys
Can you guys do an autocross/track race? Wants to see which truck has better handling at higher speeds. Wondering if the lighter v6 would have an advantage?
I have the v6 3rd gen raptor and I love it!!! But... DAMN THAT R IS AMAZING!!!
Raptor R sounds absolutely amazing...what a beast!
I think the Ford Raptor R and the RAM TRX both have a really good exhaust sound.
they both sounded pretty amazing. I think the raptor sounded a bit better but damn they both sound mean!
That was awesome fellas. Nice work 👏
Great job guys!!! Love the concept of the race.
Raptor R is a true monster. What an epic race 👏
Nice to see the hummer ev go a whole quarter of a mile without breakdown, now after that, I’m sure it could use an hour on the charger
Hey Nate im in California right now and believe i just saw you on the 405 in a Ford Raptor’. I looked over and said I think thats Nate ‘ i was in the Big Ford white Box Truck . We gave each other a Nod “. Love the Channel and all its Content! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Love it. Do more drag race please!
I really miss your videos guys with the TRX.
I am not a Raptor fan at all but sheeesh that R is impressive
Sending this to my wife because she’s a RAM lover haha but SOLID WORK all around! This was great to watch! Just something about watching vehicles I can’t afford just makes great video watching lol
The Raptor R having big 37's and a higher gear ratio should launch a little slower then do it's damage on the high end. That is incredible that it pulled from the start.
That Raptor R is a beast.
The R and TRX sound Amazing!
Andre - I too am ordering 2023 Colorado Trail Boss in nitro yellow - I too am 6’ 3” ...of course I ordered sight unseen ....so, pls tell me when u sat in the Colorado at Chicago Auto Show is it comfortable n roomy ...headroom/legroom? Thx BTW: no worries I am in Jupiter Fla so we will both be unique....👍
I love the diesel comparisons. One thing that is missing - I have been driving diesel trucks since 2000. I've owned over 15 diesel trucks and have loaded them much heavier than most of your tests up and down steep grades. The missing component on your videos is the longevity of the trucks and which ones produce true results over time. I'm a small business owner and I've own all 3 major brands and hands down there is only 1 truck that I would ever buy for business purposes. Reach out if you'd like, I'd love to share my story.
We all know it's a Ram.
Depending on what you use the trucks for but if you're really working/abusing them overloading while off road hauling or towing, chain and jerk pulling stumps ,snow plowing, pushing other trucks and equipment...then it's Ford.
Meter. Reading, pulling a trailer of siding, and antiquing is for the other 2.
From what I see it's pretty much a drivers race between the Raptor R and the TRX
Yes if the Raptor driver makes a mistake the TRX can win. If the race is clean the Raptor wins.
The TRX can win is people how to used like the launch control
@@iandelgado634 they did use the launch control
Wow 109 mph raptor r! Are those huge tires even rated for that speed? Downsize the raptor to smaller tires like the trx and it would be even faster!!
Yes for sure. A lot of people don't realize the tires make a huge difference! Either way both badass trucks 🤘
The stock BFGs on my Gen 2 were maxed out at 109, better off-road tires are less than that.
The V6 is best for off-road applications - but the TRX and R are marketed to those who care more about theoretical specs than actual performance off-road.
If you wanted to really be fast on the road you'd get a HO 3.5 Platinum or a Lightning. A tuned Gen 2 will outpace a TRX, but they usually die after about 100k.
@T4nkcommander
The RaptorR tires are rated at 114 mph.... which the speed limiter is set at. However, Car And Driver claimed that the limiter started holding the RaptorR back after 110mph. They claim the RaptorR should have gone from 110mph to 112 mph in half the time. They got RaptorR to 110 in 11.1 sec and TRX in 11.8 seconds respectively.
Ha, my 2010 Tundra 4x4 longbox will do 116 mph before the limiter kicks in..
@@richardmodglin3900 that's because the stock raptor is limited to 108 because that's what the stock tires are rated for. I find it hard to believe the R tires are rated for more than that, but no doubt they didn't change the limiter value. Most other off-road tires are rated for less speed.
Im a chevy guy. The rear gear and 10speed in the ford are a huge advantage id like to see them both with 4.10 and 10 speed. Would definitely be a very close race or maybe even the dodge would win if they didnt limit the engine rpm so much
Excuses
Where are you running this at?
Put some lightweight drag radials on that raptor R !🤩😎
Did Case even brake boost the Raptor? 🤔 I know it would not have beat the R but probably have done a little better.
Modern day trucks don't like to be messed with at launch. You're just inviting torque management to show it's face and bog you out.
@@WilliamStewart1 the raptors actually can take a little brake boost. It will help eliminate some turbo lag that Case had. But most newer trucks have their systems limiting them
Thanks guys. Great job.
Is the code orange metallic color an orange red color?
It's odd, when Throttle House tested the TRX vs Raptor R, they got the opposite results. Wonder what changed the results?
I think its been proven that brake boost is quicker than launch control on the TRX. I believe I saw that on one of the earlier Hennessey videos, when they started messing with TRXs
Came here to say the same.
They didn't launch the R correctly. Have to turn of TC and use auto hold per Ford as best launching.
The altitude raptor probably sucks in more air then the trx
Yes cause the TRX is clearly the fastest.
The Raptor R shifting through the gears sounds the best.
Enjoyed the vid. Sea level air would very likely be a different experience. Gas trucks have about a 20% loss in power at that elevation.
i feel like the trx in baja mode is faster than in sport mode from experience & watching trx smoke raptor r's
It is 100%
Well in every video the raptor beats the TRX so you're incorrect bud
No the TRX smokes the Raptor 99% of the time.
@@susanestes418 not with both having the same size tires
@Susan Estes
Really? Talk to Car and Driver, MotorTrend, and others to see the TRX lose. RaptorR beat TRX to 110 mph by 0.6 seconds. RaptorR does a 3.6 0-60 from a standing idle.... no launch control.
Raptor R takes the better sounding exhaust all day. Beautiful sounds.
Nice review keep up the good work fellas
Finally got mine Raptor R and after all said and done I got it for $220k 30yr loan term which makes the payments very manageable. It's a beast of a truck!
Raptor R sounds the best 🎉
Man I’m loving the new “R”
I love the RAPTOR R with the Code Orange Metallic exterior paint
Now, taking into consideration the mpg on the raptor r and the price MSRP difference between them, which one of the two is a better daily driver?
That’s what I want to know !
What is the city mpg of both ?
You could have been a little nicer to the "little" Raptor and let it run with 35s. Didn't have to crush its hopes and dreams like that, lol. As for the roll race, pretty sure you both hit your speed limiter. That's why the R stopped pulling away.
Wow Henry Ford is shaking in his grave with excitement lol wow that Ford takes off QUICK!!!! wow
But before that he was rolling in his grave about the Mach e an the New Lightning 😂
@@stephencontreras8322 he resurrected and died again after he found out it was called a Mustang Mach E
Honestly, ole Henry would probably be rolling in his grave. The man was extremely resistant to change and technology. He initially wanted to keep all Model T's 4 cylinders and didn't like the idea of adding a V8 the lineup and he also refused to incorporate hydraulic brakes even years after his competitors started using them, maintaining the added complication wasn't worth the benefit over mechanical brakes. I say all this as a Ford guy who thinks the Raptor R is cool as hell, but it just is what it is, or more appropriately was what it was.
Sound is close between that Raptor R and TRX but then when you add the under the hood sound … ugh that Hellcat whine is lovely
The hummer needed a recharge after that run...
And the TRX and the R are pretty much identical in performance. Considering the ram weighs 600+more lbs than the r either will get the job done...
The hummer is cool as hell, but they wont tell you couple of pulls like that and its needs recharging and forget about towing with that thing.
Wow EVs are so fast!
Love the way the raptor R squats when it launches
Good one guys, love that Raptor R! But we have a Hummer EV and Regular F150 Powerboost here at home so have to remain biased a bit ;-)
I’m a Raptor guy but I have to admit that the TRX sounds loooovely!
So FORD is king
I ordered a hummer ev and I've been waiting almost 2 years and I was happy to see the results thank you guys I love the videos keep it up
Unfortunately you'll be lucky to get around anywhere without breaking down.
@@jasonmeldrum7686 ur talking with what car?
That rolling race was closer because they both were hitting way too much drag to keep that acceleration up. Trucks win down low and drag catches up really quickly after 60, probably more like 80-90 with that much power.
I love to see the hummer ev vs the Raptor R drag race at sea level. I think that will be a better race.
Still lose big time!
@WhistlinDuramax I'm not too sure on that, that Raptor R should run low 12's to high 11's at better DA levels.
It's close between the TRX and Raptor R but I think the Raptor R just edges out the sound.
What's the weight difference between the two trucks?
The Raptor R and the TRX sound are so close in coolness! 🙏☘️
In person they are very much not. The Raptor R is way louder, doesn’t drown out the V8 noise with supercharger whine, and sounds much more akin to a NASCAR engine. It almost sounds like a straight up aftermarket exhaust, like something you would find from Borla, Magnaflow, or Akrapovic.
Raptor R is and always will be the best sounding stock truck ever made. Absolutely phenomenal.
really wish you guys would show some of the fastests trucks in the world at Midnight performance. Stock sealed coyote f150s and theY run in the 8s in the 1/4 mile!!
Whaaaaat …………8’s in the quarter …… I gotta see that !!!!!! 😳😳😳
How does one remove the Hummer's top speed limiter? Or would the motors explode much past that RPM?
considering the thing has left them stranded twice. I wouldn't go messing with it
The problem is weight. It puts so much weight on the tires that they would wear down fast and explode at any faster speeds.
Note here: hot air is LESS dense than cool air. VERY hot days in Phoenix will ground airplanes.
Love that Raptor!
Having mentioned the TRX launching better without launch mode, I'd still put my $ on the R edging it more times than not. But remember, this took Ford 2 years and tens of thousands more $$ msrp to match. And it likely wouldn't be here at all if it weren't for the TRX. Give RAM a couple years and see if they strike back with the red-eye engine. Either way, both excellent trucks! Where is GMs comparable entry!!!?!
True to thank trx for pushing ford to do the V8. But thank ford for the whole segment 👍🏼
@@markrode7331 Yep, that's what I was going to say. This whole segment of high performance factory baja trucks exists because Ford dared to try it first. But credit is due to Ram for lighting a fire under Fords ass to put a V8 back under the hood of the Raptor, competition is good for everyone.
It took the TRX 10 years to get past the normal Raptor and it still lost the only desert race between the two by a significant amount.
