Long wheelbase, heavy, decent tires and more than enough power. Both did well just as you'd expect. I drive my raptor here in the mountains where we regularly get 2+ feet of snow overnight, sometimes more. Can confirm it's awesome just as I'm sure the TRX would be!

Hey I live in Mammoth Lakes and I've lost count how much we have had this year and in 2022. What setup do you have on the Raptor and do you use studded tires?
@@paulthomson1434 I'm in Tahoe, we've been having a hell of a winter so far. Love powder days but I'm about sick of clearing my driveway every day, lol! Aside from bumper, lights and retrax cover my raptor is stock. The regular KO2s do just fine for us, but our roads are almost always plowed by sun up. Have tested in normal snow driving and also pulling tourist out of the berm, works great!
Full throttle or half throttle, the key to keeping forward momentum in deep snow is to never let off. I think a more reserved but very persistent throttle input is the best way to go. Full throttle is a lot of fun though lol
It would be cool if they could do a proper match up of the top 4 chosen off road vehicles in these conditions WITH chains on, to exhibit traction with vehicle capabilities. But don't hold your breath for that content to ever come. ;)
I've watched many great videos on tfl. This video was perfect and is my new favorite. You guys are fun and funny. Thanks for doing this video, all of you. The camera work and editing were stellar and the snow was beautiful. Great great video.
This is what the Raptor and TRX videos should be. Way too many videos out there with the TRX doing straight line racing on pavement. Yes the TRX is way more powerful but it seems the Raptor when it comes to off-road is the superior baja truck. Like 95% of the people commenting I haven’t driven either so I’m going by what I see on off road videos.
You mean the raptor throwing drivertrain errors up the hill and needing a cold start to clear them? That does not sound like a very solid offroader big tires or not.
@@nielsdebakker3283 yeah your right. That was a major problem that took major work to fix. Sure it had nothing to do with the driver. But the 3 wheel spinning TRX is a true off-roader right?
This looks like a LOT of fun! I'm in the Metro Vancouver area (i.e. in West Coast of Canada that is just north of Washington State) and we have got similar snow to this when we drive up into the mountains. I am actually surprised at just how WELL BOTH TRUCKS DID in this deep stuff! Two full size pickup trucks going at it decently well shows JUST HOW FAR WE HAVE COME in automotive technology! Normally, this is stuff you only take a Polaris Razr or a Can-Am X3r into and NOT a 5000+ lbs pickup truck! I AM VERY VERY VERY IMPRESSED with this video (Good Job FTL!) and I am also very very impressed impressed with the TRX and Raptor! I WANT BOTH TRUCKS !!! V
Tommy whenever you want to retire Snow wheeling, I'm classically trained in snow wheeling. It's my favorite kind of offroad.. You did great by the way.. Thanks for all hard work
I think off-roader vehicles should have an on-road snow mode and an off-road snow mode because the normal snow mode assumes you're trying to get somewhere on road despite the snow, so it severely limits the amount of spin you can have. Honestly, I've found sand mode to be the best option to have fun in the snow.
In my raptor I run it in Baja mode 4H rear diff locked when running in snow covered fields/offroad- on road 4A normal if just a little bit snow, “slippery” mode 4a, then 4h if real slick/packed & sometimes it’s good to take the TC off & you can take the stability control off too if you really need to send it. When it’s heavy deep snow I feel Like it’s better to run in 4H all Nannie’s off in regular mode or sport or baja
Love those kinds of videos, awesome trucks through the snow. Love the sound of the TRX supercharger. Those are the kind of videos I live for also Micah Dad.
It only costs like $7k less tho. When you already spending 60k plus in a truck, might as well spend a little more to get 250 more hp. I love the raptor, and I always wanted one since it came out, but I just love the hellcat motor more
@@karanpatel7815 Been shopping for both. On paper maybe 7k, at every dealer ur gonna spend about 20k more for a TRX. Also, I have an SRT Durango, they're waaaay too thirsty
@@fireant1272 I don't own either so I can't say. Raptor been out for a decade so I image ford worked out almost the issues with out. On the other hand, the trx has a better and more reliable engine. Until I see a trx with 200k miles on it, I'd say the raptor is probably better long term. But then again, the raptor had a mechanical issue in this video while the trx didn'
In my snow wheeling experience, I've found mud terrain tires do best to not become snow sliding on snow. They shed the chunks of compacted snow/ice better than a standard AT tire.
I too hate snowwheeling- in heavy trucks- in my old 88 Tacoma it was a blast because it was so light I could stop and start and be floating over the snow... In my new Duramax it's so heavy the second it stops it sinks and sucks.
Took me a while to realize that. I had a Power Wagon for 10+ years, loved it and the factory 12K lb Warn winch, but for snow travel I now have the LIGHTEST tool; a Jeep JL 2dr Sport S.
I had a big smile just watching you guys! Both trucks are sweet but I do like the Wrangler Territory tires a bit better in snow. I still believe that overall the Raptor is my favorite.
This was an awesome comparo! Beautifully shot! Looks amazing with the snow in the trees. And most of all, y’all had a blast and it was fun to watch and live vicariously!
Living in the northeast I have spend decades snow wheeling, and you guys need some pointers, lol 1st) Minimum air down to 15 psi or less. (I could tell you barely let any air out and just did that for the cameras) 2nd) You want a slow momentum but not wheel spin, especially if there is ice underneath. You get more traction when you compact snow on ice , then just rubber on ice. Snow wheeling can be the most fun off roading you have, or if done wrong the worst time ever.
Watching this from Central Thailand with my Ranger Raptor sitting in my driveway wishing I had this climate to bomb my truck around in. Keep up the great content fellas!
During the Blizzard of 1993 my then 71 year old dad drove his 1979 F-150/ 4-speed, 300-6 with 31 inch tires up and down the steep ridges here in snow so deep the bumper was plowing it and even through some drifts that were 4-6 feet deep. He never spun out, slipped all over or anything else. He had to go tow my brother out of a drift who had a 1978 F-250 with 40 inch tires and a 460. Driving experience in snow trumps power/speed/truck in many cases.
I envy you. A day out with your dad in the 2 most bad ass trucks on the market tearing up that snow. I wish I had memories like that with my dad. Great video
Very fun video! As a dad myself, seeing you guys having all this fun warms the ol heart. The TRX seems to still be the super truck to beat though. The Raptor didn't match it yet.....perhaps 4th gen
How does it not match it? The Raptor R comes out later this year which will have more power than the TRX. But power aside, the Raptor is a step ahead of the TRX.
I am sorry but the TRX does not beat the 3rd Gen Raptor overall. The 2nd Gen Raptor itself still gave the TRX a run for it's money as is, the 3rd Gen just outright beats it in every category there is for a truck.
Get these to Iceland. Let us modify them a bit...or a lot...and see what is required when there is some truly deep snow on the ground...or on top of the glacier we are crossing...;)
Great video! Made me totally want the raptor even more now! I don't need 702hp to smile 450hp is perfect. Now i have more work to do with my 2016 2.7 ecoboost 😆
Idk if I like the trucks more, or the father - son relationship, Tommy and Roman have. Or maybe the combination of both. Love your content, Best regards.
Love this video TFL truck guys. You guys need too do more snow videos with your trucks especially with the new Raptor. I bought a second generation 2019 Raptor two years ago and would love too see you guys do more in the 3rd generation just too get more pointers 👍.
Maybe take some ice racing or rally driving lessons to understand that different circumstances require different driving techniques depending on conditions and terrain. As you are all doing automotive testing, taking different driving courses (ei off road, road racing etc) may enhance or testing procedures.... Still luv you content.
Looks like the Raptor has a Torsen front diff as well. That's a huge advantage that the Ram should offer but does not. It would have helped the TRX immensely at 11:03 and 11:20
You guys should do a video with 2 of the exact same trucks with stock off-road tires and another with off-road SNOW tires. I'd like to see how much of a difference it makes.
On my 2020 Rappy I run studded Nokian Hakkepelitta snow tires in stock size 315/70R17…..I drive “as if” there is no winter weather. I’ll pass plows on the highway in blizzard conditions in 4H doing 75 w/ zero F’s whatsoever to give- I’ve done this & then SLAMMED on the brakes while swerving….and….the abs kicks in & the thing comes to a controlled stop. I can dead stop in heavy wet slushy deep snow, park it leave it sitting there for an hr get back in & go no problem. I pulled my buddy up a very very steep ice covered driveway he couldn’t make it up in a 4x4 Ram on regular tires I was able to help Billy goat his ass up w/ a recovery strap slithering side to side whole time but clawed my way to the top w/ him in tow. In short, to put it into perspective, the delta between how much better a true dedicated STUDDED & siped snow tire does in winter on/off road vs an “AT” of “MT” or God forbid an “all season” tire is greater than how much better a DR would perform over a performance summer only tire @ the drag strip. That’s no exaggeration.
The key to snow wheeling is speed and redline. Ussually there are multiple layers of snow. Bottom layers are hard. You can float over the hard layers with wheelspin and speed. You stop and puncture the the hardlayer you are done. My half ton single cab 5.0 f150 ways 4400 pounds with me in it and is awesome in snow. 33s km2s and i was in 2.5/3ft of fluffy snow. Redline and selecting manual 1st/2nd gear is key
I traded my TRX in on a F150 Powerboost. I also got studded Hakkapeliita LT3 tires. I had a "pull-off" in a snow/ice covered parking lot. I pulled both of them around with ease. I guess the TRX and Raptor aren't as good folks thought.
The key to snow wheeling is reserve. You HAVE to be extremely light on the go pedal to go anywhere. I live in South Lake Tahoe. I go snow wheeling almost every day. I own a 2013 EcoBoost f150 with all raptor running gear, Mcniel body panels so i can fit 39s, hp tuners, twin gt35s. Its the most amazing vehicle in the woods out of any of my buddies rigs.
With the music tracks and video quality, you guys are taking it to another level. Great job. P.S. I'm a Mopar guy and I enjoy the TRX but respect the Raptor as well.
Long wheelbase, heavy, decent tires and more than enough power. Both did well just as you'd expect. I drive my raptor here in the mountains where we regularly get 2+ feet of snow overnight, sometimes more. Can confirm it's awesome just as I'm sure the TRX would be!

Mud, silt, and deep snow you never want to slow down.
yeah, sometimes less is more in snow
Use only as much throttle as you need without spinning the tires. Any idiot should know this but bozos will not.

beautiful landscape there, and love the competition between the Ford & Ram, and as always, the snow makes it more fun
Tommy you did just fine. I grew up in the snow belt and love wheeling in the snow. I’m not so good at rock crawling. Not my bag.
They should include a “Old Mode” which is just plain ol 4wd with no electronics haha

Are you calling the Ram "none"?
or are your feelings hurt

“All that whining I did for nothing.” - Tommy
Theme song of the channel?? 😂
This segment should of been Andre and Nathan
Momentum, big foot print, light weight, no wheel spin, low air pressure, is the key to snow wheeling.
TRX is the baddest pickup truck ever made! Things a savage beast
Cool guys... In Russia, this was never dreamed of... Real happiness for a man.. Here you only have to dream about it.. 👍👍👍
Don’t stop grinding gentleman ! You guys are doing great, I’ve been a fan for years.
This was amazing . More of this
Should have brought the Sasquatch bronco to compare against full size off road trucks. All terrain tires never my choice for offroad.
Something to be said for brute strength 💪. Good job TRX
Best this about snow wheeling is how clean your truck is when your done.
Love the raptor but I just can't get over the sound. Great video.
That opening looked like a riot. Wish I had snow here.
Maybe take some ice racing or rally driving lessons to understand that different circumstances require different driving techniques depending on conditions and terrain.

Looks like the Raptor has a Torsen front diff as well. That's a huge advantage that the Ram should offer but does not. It would have helped the TRX immensely at 11:03 and 11:20
Ram uses BLD to simulate a torsen, not as good as a true locker or torsen but certainly better than a true open diff.
