2023 Cadillac Escalade V:
-Supercharged 6.2L V8 rated at 682 hp and 653 lb.-ft. of torque
-10-speed Transmission
-6,217 lbs
2022 RAM TRX:
-Supercharged 6.2L V8 rated at 702-hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque
-8-speed Transmission

Whether you fall on the TRX or Escalade-V side, these are two amazing feats of engineering. The fact that vehicles of that size and girth can launch like this is nothing short of incredible. 🇺🇸🦅

I all I hear is pure American Glory! Hearing these V8 monsters at the same time is truly a treat. The squat on that Caddy is insane! LOL! I also think thr ESV should've been raced to level the playing field against the TRX(closer weight and length), but not that it matter much here. I can tell the TRX was not raced in Baja mode. That allows the truck to start in first gear and really cracks the shifts. It is also still remarkable what Ram accomplished on that truck with A/T 35s and its considerable weight.

@mybro727 Жыл бұрын

The Escalade tuned for comfort is certainly more impressive in this race from an engineering standpoint - but I understand Mopar/Dodge fans and their obsession with straight line performance & drag race trophies. GM would embarrass Stellantis with a TRX competitor, just wanted to be clear.

@@mybro727 in case you’ve forgotten, GM did make a competitor to the TRX and Raptor. It’s the ZR2 Silverado and it is the single biggest waste of money they’ve come out with in a long time. It’s barely cheaper than both of the competition and has the same powertrain as a Yukon Denali. Total embarrassment of a car. They added some extra ride height, added locking diffs and called it a day. GM has the tools to make an outstanding truck, yet they could not have fallen more flat.

Great video 👍👍. I have to agree. My Cadillac Escalade absolutely flies, but off the line it has that split second hesitation. I plugged in an AFM delete to see if that would help. It was night and day. Instead of waiting until the computer switches it into all 8 cylinders, it always runs in 8 cylinders with the AFM delete. People say that you get worse mileage, but I didn’t buy a Prius. Great video. Thanks.

@mr.89chevy13 Жыл бұрын

It was very much expected for the TRX to win. But, the guy in the Caddys was late on the gas, essentially when he did a countdown on the roll. As far as pricing go, your paying for luxury, a vehicle that looks and sounds better, along with it not being overrated. Though, I'd pick the Escalade V at a cheaper price by finding one that's wrecked not too bad with low mileage (obviously), but buying one brand new wouldn't be for me. All together, the TRX wins in performance, but grabbing some attention by women and driving in luxury along with a crazy good sound system from factory, Escalade V takes it all damn day.

@yamahaguy1732 Жыл бұрын

Well another thing to mention is he said they were running the Escalade in sport mode which is not as aggressive as V mode. The TRX would probably still win because it weighs less and still makes more power but I think it would be closer.

I prefer Cadillac Escalade a thousand times, Ram trx does not offer infotainment screens, front cameras to be seen on the dashboard, double air conditioning outlets with courtesy light, it does not offer many passengers to be comfortable and a good trunk, it does not bring wi-fi , good agency sound with 36 speakers that brings speakers up to the headrests and ceiling, reclining passenger seats. // For the Ram trx to compare to an Escalade it is missing a lot. It is useless for Ram to be powerful if it will not offer all those amenities like that for which I want it.
