points!!!!

gotcha

Hahaha🤣

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

Iys only because ford is basically put after market exhaust on the new Raptor

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

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.

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

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.

Wouldnt have made a difference

hahah it wouldnt win the third race

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?

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.

Gas sounds bad try diesel for sound 7.3 hopped up no smoke all power

@marcusjennifer785 Bro just wants to be “different.”

Thank you for watching.

It’s not even burly, it sounds straight up like a race car in Baja mode.

🥴

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

But before that he was rolling in his grave about the Mach e an the New Lightning 😂

@@123paisa 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.

Wouldn’t even need that. All Ram has to do is drop some weight. There’s already races where the TRX wins on pavement & off-road. And when they pull against each other, the TRX thrashes the RR. But you can’t go wrong with either. Aside from these off-road/Baja/drag racing “niche” trucks, the Tundra TRD Pro is the best truck. It will outlast comparable models from both Ford and Ram. Especially a comparable Chevy 😂..

​@@alexferrara9287fax

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

Or when it’s on the back of a diesel truck being hauled in for repairs

Way to prove you know absolutely NOTHING about crude oil refining. Hint it uses massive amounts of chemicals, energy, water and electricity plus cobalt to refine every single gallon of gas or diesel used. 👍🏻😂

they both sounded pretty amazing. I think the raptor sounded a bit better but damn they both sound mean!

These two trucks come down to the driver. I'd say it's a loss for the raptor since it'll cost 20-30 thousand more in price compared to trx.

Ford is garbage I used to have their first gen raptor and that is trash raptor r is no better..

I’ve owned Ford Trucks since I’ve been driving, you couldn’t pay me to drive a Ram, I’d gladly pay more for a Raptor..

@@DaRevrin The difference is that the raptor is fully loaded at that price though (with 37", lighter and better suspension). Configurate a trx with all options and see the price.

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.

Unfortunately you'll be lucky to get around anywhere without breaking down.

@@jasonmeldrum7686 ur talking with what car?

That’s a good idea. We will do some endurance testing.

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

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.
