    I noticed a handful of comments about the tires in the rear of the TRX. While it’s true that adds weight, to counterbalance that there was a 200lb passenger in the Raptor as well as a stock spare tire under the raptors bumper.

      Add aftermarket bumpers to the weight of the TRX. Stock vs. stock is just about an even race. I just wish I could afford an R at $110K plus dealer markup they'll be well over $130-$150K unfortunately.

    • @masorcas1000

      That passenger you are talking about is about the additional weight the steel bumpers on the trx added. Plus the rear tires and rack are about 500lbs. And the 37’s on the trx are real 37’s not skinny wanna be 37’s on the raptor. I can assure you the 37’s on the trx are waaaaay heavier

      Yeah, and what about the 37s on the TRX? That’s not 250lbs as to the spare wheels in the bed. Try 300lbs +. Oh, and the TRX has a spare under the bed too. Also add in the 200lbs steel bumper. Any other handicaps you want to throw at the TRX? Still ran as good as the Raptor.

    The Raptor R starts with the exhaust valves closed. And you either have to put it in Baja mode or use the button on the steering wheel to change the mode and open the valves. It's really not complicated, non of these reviewers seem to get it right. But Great video! At least he got the tire size correct.

If you add some bolt ons & tune for e50/e85 or add meth injection more power, bigger turbos? Even more. The 3.5HO has fully forged internals/rotating assembly- shared w/ the Ford GT- only other vehicle that has this engine (albeit w/ a dry sump oiling system, a revised intake/exhaust & way bigger turbos), point is the 3.5HO can handle way more power than stock & it actually makes more power than advertised. I was always a V8 only guy, but w/ the forged guts & easy tunability the 3.5HO is really perfect, the R & TRX are basically overpowered, I’d rather bring the 3.5HO to close to the R power level & call it a day

    Apples to oranges man.
    TRX has several weight addition/ speed hindering mods, I understand the extra person and spare in the RaptoR but my biggest argument is the 37/12.5 super heavy toyos on the TRX and the fact the 10wide rim is putting roughly 10 percent more rubber on the ground which leads to a major downfall on asphalt.

    I LOVE both trucks, but this was not a fair race.. you have added a considerable amount of weight to that ram by:
    -Adding two extra spare tires (I own a TRX I am aware that there is also a spare under the bed of that truck as well)
    -FRONT & REAR bumper are not stock
    -unknown what yellow square shaped objects are w/in the grill?
    After noticing all of this I would say that it is an unfair race.
    To make this a fair race I would at least consider stating in your video all of the aftermarket adjustments made on each truck and the total weight of said adjustments. Only then would the audience be aware of what actually they are comparing b/c this is not a stock v.s. stock race.
    P.S. I think if your going to argue the 37” v.s. 35” tires then don’t add two tires in the bed of the truck and just make the only difference the tires and not everything else that has been added. (Also if you’re going to counter balance weight w/both trucks don’t use two different objects use the same objects not two tires then saying that the weight of that individual is equivalent. I think people want transparency and I don’t think that does a good job of showing it)
    Hope this helps w/future videos.

For $82-$87k don’t believe me take a look online. Edit - the raptor r seems to be exactly 1.5x the price around here cheapest one I can find local is 138k. For that you can get a scat pack and a TRX.

    One thing, the tires have very different tread with the TRX seeming to have a more off road capable tire which is not great for speed on the street. Another possible problem, did you actually measure the tires? They both may be 37' inch tires, but the T-Rex's tires appear, at that camera angle anyway, to be much larger, maybe by an inch or two?

It may just be the camera angles, but worth a look. The TRX's tires also appear to be more of an off road tire than the Raptors tires which would also slow it down. Here is a better view of the tires side by side 2:21 though the TRX seems to be parked about 6" behind the Raptor which could cause them to look larger? The TRX seems to have larger tires, and tires designed more for offroad both of which would make it slower. Just a thought, something to consider. 😁😎👍✌

    Everyone is missing one key difference here. The Raptor has a gearing advantage - 4.10 gears vs the 3:55 gears in a TRX. Add that into the "physics" and you willl find that is a huge difference! If you could even up the gearing I'm sure the TRX would eat the Raptor everytime. Even when hauling the extra weight of the tires!
