I've been waiting for this.Thank you TFL
You've been waiting for a sound comparison. You could take any V8 and any V6 and the V8 will sound better.. it's a lame ass test just to make a video. And a 0 to 60 on dry pavement between a truck that's 200 horsepower more, is that supposed to be a joke too.. I wanted to see an off-road comparison between two off-road vehicles and instead I got a video with two dudes babbling about statistics. The only thing positive I could say is I like both of the trucks..
@@jameswalker5645 oh boo hoo ho.. I came for some nice comments instead I got one of some guy babbling on why he is sad....
@@jameswalker5645 ford sucks

Seems like TRX 8 Raptor for breakfast.
I'm a Ford guy and I love the Raptor but damn Ram has done a great job with that truck
Thank you, that's awesome to read. Also I'm genuinely looking forward to see what Ford does next... they caused the TRX so I gotta tip my hat to them.
Same here... If I picked one tomorrow I'd get a Ram just out of spite for the fact Ford knows everyone wants a v8 and they won't do it
@@WideAwakeHuman Seriously. Not that I could afford it, but I would've loved to have seen the Ford GT with an upgraded GT350 or the GT500 motor. The TTv6 sounds decent but either of those V8s would have been insane.
Yeah same boat here, I have a raptor. But that thing is sick. Curious to see how they hold up.
Supercharge the ford n u got em beat that dodge gonna fall apart in 50k miles anyway
Exhaust: TRX, but V-8’s always sound better.
Yeah, they might as well do a sound comparison between Corvette and a moped...
For sure, ‘Merican Muscle.
Thanks Sherlock.
Sound doesn't give you any advantage whatsoever
@@gabrielcornejo238 you have to at least like what you’re driving, when spending that kind of coin. For me, sound of the engine/exhaust is part of the driving experience.
TRX blows the raptor away. It looks, sounds and performs the way you’d expect a badass truck to be.
Boooooo
The sound of the TRX put a smile on my face.
😂 You already knew what was coming for the raptor
14 thousand in markup, I wouldn't go near that dealer for an oil change let alone to buy a vehicle.
Trx will have a mark up also

@@ShersGarage in my opinion, if you pay over sticker for ANY car, you are getting ripped off
the fact is, if no one paid these stupid dealer markups, the dealers would stop doing them because they don't want product rotting on the lots, but because people with more money then common sense are willing to do it, they keep doing it.
I think we should get rid of dealers

The EcoBoost will never compare to the sound of a supercharged hemi.
Let's look at fuel economy. Thats where the TRX loses. That Hemi is also a bitch to work on. But that doesn't matter. I guess if you are buying one of these super trucks, you can afford it.
@@dominiczanella8443
Yep, as well as the gas and having it working on.
However, did you know that Ford has been in litigation (they got sued) due to their wrong mpg numbers for the last 5+ years. Owners sued because their "Eco boost" engine returned the same mpg as the v8 models...
@@Bluebeast2005 True my friends 15 f150 ecoboost only avgs. 15.5 to 17 mpg.
Dominic Zanella the hellcat engine can still get over 25 mpg. I’m assuming if you drive normally the TRX can do the same.
@@lonewolf24v61
And those are the main numbers that I've heard from all the F150 buyers I talk to. None of them break into the 18s or higher unless it's 90%+ highway which is ludicrous!
I absolutely hate this mpg game, it is such a sham.
What an amazing time we live in when a 450hp truck is the granny one of the group!
450 hp has seemed a little modest (for a halo product) for awhile now given that GM and Ram have been putting 400+ hp V8s into "regular" trucks for a long time now. Doesn't the 6.2 make like 420 HP?
@@tcv4 No doubt! Without any real challenger, Ford didn't have any incentive to do much more than a small boost to 450hp.
This challenge from Ram is going to be a good this for Fiat fans and Ford fans alike. This will no doubt encourage Ford to step up their game with the Raptor, especially since so many people have been complaining about it having a V6.
@@billyunderwood7221 it makes you wonder why Ford went away from the V8 in one of their more sought out trucks. Now don’t get me wrong, the V6 ecoboost high output is fun just lacking the sound and some power.
@@felixvidales8786 I know Ford has really been pushing that EcoBoost, and it is an amazing engine. I think Ford realizes that they made a mistake by not using some kind of V8 powerplant. Anyone who wants a halo truck like that is also going to want that amazing V8 sound to go along with it.
That V8 sound, that V8 sound, I know it's the same thing said twice but it's so important it needed to be said twice
Ford engineers forgot we wanted a badass American truck to sound like one, not like a 350z lol
Well to be fair, When Ford was designing the new F150 back in 2009 (first gen 3.5 turbo f150 came out in 2011), they were facing very strict government fuel economy regulations that were supposed to go into effect in 2012, as were all US car manufacturers. In order to meet them, dropping V8s and eventually going to aluminum was the only way that was going to happen. Then in 2016, most of those regulations were relaxed so Ford go screwed a bit.. Luckily, the Ford f150 still sold very well and it was the fastest, most powerful, light truck for 6 years even with the puny V6 . Now that Biden will likely win the election, those regulations will likely be coming back. So Ford will again be in a good spot. But only time will tell...
@@Livinghighandwise if they already had a coyote available why didn’t they just slap a whipple on it and send it? Lol same with the GT that thing should’ve been a twin turbo voodoo
Truer words never spoken
@@brewskibrew986 haha 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
I swear I said the same thing lol
When Ford debuts the next gen raptor they should challenge Ram to race them in the Baja 1000.
My thoughts exactly
Instead of competing it on the Baja race they put a huge engine to turn the attention. The RAM is good but I'd still go for for the Raptor.
And somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, in the dino world Raptors are smarter than a T-rex right? Sooooo Yeah.

Ford can't compete with dodge when it comes to interior
As somebody who used to sell Fords they can't compete with Dodge in most categories. The 3.5 ecoboosts are known for turbo and timing chain failure and I've seen them blown up with less than 70k miles. The 2.7 ecoboost is the better engine if you ask me. Their interiors are very plain compared to Dodge, and even though Ford uses a 10 speed which is a good transmission I can't personally knock the ZF 8 speed in the Ram. And in accidents I've seen pictures of the cabs ripping off the body mounts with the aluminum body, but I will say it is lighter and wont rust but will corrode. Overall though I'd say the new Ram is an overall better truck. Say what you want about past Chrysler products, they really stepped up their game recently and it shows.
except they arent dodges anymore. just ram. also they are fiat now as fiat bout chysler dodge and jeep
@RSD 3 lol why u lying 😂😂 I drive a 2019 Rubi .. water pump failure, front and real crank seal leak, cheap inner fenders, transmission glitch.. list goes on. And is only 15k on the clock.🤦♂️
@RSD 3 in not complaining .. I like the jl .. and I had the jk before and it has it set of issues in the beginning. It usually takes 3 to 4 years for a newer model to rectify all its issues. But the 8 speed in jl alone sold me to make the switch.
Another great video! You guys are on point with your videos! Greg analysis and perspectives!
If a t-rex can kill a raptor then Ford should drop the GT500 motor in and call it the Meteor
Lol. That’s good. Put a smile on my face. 😀
That’s awesome 😂
@Zach Alverez Let's see how silly the horsepower wars can get.
They can call it the UtahRaptor since that would be the largest Raptor species
Good one my friend I really like that one....

Loved it! Excellent video.
I'm not a Ford guy but when Ford set the standard it makes Ram's job a lot easier with something to shoot at. And it took someone ten years to take the crown.
Worth adding Ford could reclaim the lead if they wanted to simply by placing the Shelby GT500 engine in the Raptor since the GT500 engine is faster than the hellcat engine
@@gs300rich4 I have been saying this about the suspension for some time now, yes it has a lot of power but it’s all about the suspension but with Ford getting rid of the rear leafs it’s makes this truck look old already here’s the link to the Raptors new rear suspension,

@@EVsSuck777 I don't think the engine being faster will help. An engine that gets 700 hp @ 3500 rpm doesn't "beat" an engine that gets 700 hp @ 7000 rpm, even though the 7000 rpm engine is faster.
@@gs300rich4 no the ecoboost gets the same mpg as the TRX, and the Ford's lighter frame bends easier something to think about when you're jumping dunes
@@EVsSuck777 no this is a base hellcat engine, the Red-eye still has more power than the Shelby GT500, Dodge can easily give this truck 800HP with a Red-eye tune
*The TRX for sure , it sounds so good!*
It does! And the Ford sounds like a broken vacuum cleaner lol
@Dale Ross and I care why? I’m not here to argue with you I just stated my observation, with the stealership markups these are two trucks I can’t afford. I will tell you this though, I’ve had a lot more issues with the Fords that I’ve owned than any other brand. I put 40-60k miles a year on my truck so neither one of these are for me, that’s why I have a diesel 3/4 ton and not some hopped up half ton only yuppies that make $250k can afford.
@Dale Ross no it’s not
They are just rams now
I’m a ford fan but the raptor isn’t that great
@Dale Ross 1. At no point did it say anyone should care, like you I’m offering an opinion.
2. I didn’t state that you are a yuppie, I was inferring that most people buying a $91k truck are rather well off suburban yuppies.
3. Are you normally this rude to strangers? I’m not even arguing your point that dodges suck yet you’re insulting me.
4. If the Corps taught you anything one thing you would have learned is attention to detail, you jumped to conclusions without even understanding the content of my previous comment. Chill out it’s just UA-cam.
5. Semper Fi
@Dale Ross no not yet
Might get one or get a nice used 7.3L Powerstroke
I have driven them though
Thank you very much for this video, TRX is an amazing thing!😎🤟
Just got to say, we can tell your camera man is a Ford guy, can't hide it, even on the editing 😂
Agree
Thanks guys!!
We cant be crowning the new king just off of a 0-60 test, we need to do an offroad test at moab or something and see which one is better there.
Exactly my thoughts.
Oh lord, I think they were crowning it based on the two test so in these 2 cats there is a new king. Once they do the others then you can add more Cats that this TRX will take away then you can tally them all and eventually usher in the new King of Speed Off Roading Trucks (Ram TRX) all Hail the King!!!! Also there is no way ford is going back to v8. That will be left up to the after market guys to make Exorcist models, Brontosaurus Raptor Models, Haunting of Hill House V8 billy billet models etc.. Any way I am just glad there is a real competitor and not just how it has been in the past with Trail bosses and , Highlanders, and Rebels. We truly have a real competitor and folks should be happier it makes both of them step the game up.
Moab is a terrible place to test these trucks. take them to Baja where they run the 1000, or take them to glamis, or Pismo something where there's speed tests options. Neither one of these trucks will do well in Moab compared to the power wagon which is the off-road king of that world as far as stock trucks go. the TRX has a rear locker, bigger tires and better ground clearance, putting the raptor at a disadvantage right out of the gate if you wanted to try and take these trucks to Moab though. Again stick these trucks near high speed moggles, and jumps that's what they were designed to do. Ford hasnt challenged the Power wagon in 15 years which makes believe they have no intentions of trying to win over that market.

The Trx sounds so mean. I love it.
Nice! Thank you Guys!👏🏼👏🏼
As soon as I heard the start up of the TRX I immediately said “You can definitely tell this is a Hellcat engine” 😂

@@ddollarz567 Oil needs to reach operating temp to properly lubricate engine. Especially important in turbocharged engines as they are oil cooled and can burn off viscosity. You should also let them idle a while to cool before turning the engine off.
Looks like the temp gauge on the Ram was over 160 degrees, looks to me like the raptor was cold
Raptor sounds like a swarm of bees trapped inside a vacuum cleaner! Old one sounded much better. Ram sounds like a truck should sound.
The RAM TRX is awesome. I love the REBEL but the TRX is in a different league.
Would you choose the Trx over the rebel anyday of the week? I'm trying to decide between the 2 and the longhorn.
loved it! Ram's TREX got something you can't ignore. It catches more attention, and noticed this personally, with my friend having one! It's a monster truck!!! worth the money
The TRX sounds so good!
The Raptor sounds like a Ford Focus from the front and a Honda Civic with a broken exhaust from the back. Lol
Sad but true
Putting the eco boost in sport mode would have been a much more fair comparison. That changes the timing, fuel, and boost. where in the RAM the mode does not change as much, it is essentially always in high HP mode.
One of the dumbest comments ever.
Ummmm, anyone else disappointed that the first time comparison is of sound and acceleration? One of the first comparisons and its THIS?
Well they couldn't take it where they wanted, it's not their review unit prob had a bunch of ppl test the same truck that day.

I love the supercharger whine on the TRX!!!
That is just awesome!!! His reaction says it all!! Time to see ford put the gt500 engine under that hood. Time to bring back the battle of the v8s baby !!!!!!
Comparing a V8 to a V6 on exhaust note like it's even a competition lol. I wouldn't buy a TRX ...but I'd be lying if I didn't admit it sounds much better.
Superchargers from dodge always put a smile on someone’s face 👍🏾👍🏾
I understand they wanted to compare them as apples-to-apples as possible, but you have to change the Raptor to sport mode. It's night and day difference. Shifts in normal mode are extremely soft, it would drop at LEAST a second off the 0-60. TRX may be the same deal, IDK.

We just went from dealer markup to markdown on the Raptor in two seconds
I’m all for that. Means I can get into a Raptor sooner.
It's been that way for awhile. The Raptor has been around for 10 years or so. Even though you see all these jackass marking them up over sticker you can get one for way less than that. I was actually able to pick up a 2020 Raptor fully load with the 802A package for exactly 61k out the door that was 12k under sticker with a 14 year old Nissan Titan as trade in.
So I've been looking at getting the TRX and it will cost way more than the Raptor... like 30k difference. The same equipped TRX as my Raptor is around 92k... dealer said they could get it down 3% of that. So I'm looking at a fully loaded Raptor at 61k or 89k for a TRX... almost a 30k difference. I'm gonna have to see and drive this one for myself before I spend that kind of money on a truck.
@@robertwilson1664 Dont waste your money. Buy the Raptor and a Can Am with the extra $30k. It will skool both trucks offroad and if you roll it doing something dumb you can still drive it home pulling it behind the Raptor. I love the TRX and am a 2019 Raptor owner, but I would never buy it as the V8 sounds and extra power is not worth $30K to me. So many other things I would rather have. Shit I could buy a used SXS and a new Snowmobile and a Raptor for the same money. I have never been offroad in the Raptor wishing I had "more power"
Your happy laugh on the TRX launch said it all! 😁🤣
Haha! I thought the same thing and literally laughed with him lol
If you’ve got one of these trucks and your happy with it that’s all that matters. I’m good with my 6.2 raptor. Neither the eco boost or the Trx make me regret my purchase. But reading the comments is thoroughly entertaining from BOTH sides.
What about reliability comparison between the two companies? Ram is notorious for breakdowns. Am I wrong?
Wrong
Mopar designed the motor for the super charger.
It was purpose built.
It could withstand the power of 6 buicks on that motor.
This is a old video they put the supercharger from Shelby with 760 hp in the raptor.
It got smoked bad.
So did the Chevy Jackel so did the super snake gt
500 mustang.
Now the Durango is the the Fastest SUV at 3.5 0 to 60
As far as reliability the turbo on Raptor and other fords carbon fowls at about 30,000 miles.
It is from cold starts.
Since the turbo is out of warranty Ford charges you for a new turbo.
Big bucks when they could clear the carbon out of the intake manifold and keep the same turbo.
Consumer reports ranked Ram number one this year for reliability.
It beat the Japanese imports and Ford and Chevy.
The good news Ford was number two.
I'm for American Trucks I did my research and bought a 2019 GMC van with the 6 liter motor.
The 6.2, 5.3 and 4.3 had oil consumption problems.
Ram vans were mixed with fiat crap.
And Ford did not use a V8
They turboed their 6 cylinders.
My van has stock 342 hp and can be brought to 400 hp with bolt on parts.
I have owned Ram trucks before they were Ram since the 1980s never had a lemon

Maybe. But then Dodge will just slap a bigger motor like usual. First gen trx has basically hellcat hp, next gen will probly grt demon hp
@@lonewolf24v61 Slapping a bigger motor isn't gonna solve much, in fact it's gonna make things worse.
@@raionshishi8290 eh
So it will cost 15 grand more and still lose. My ram 1500 5.7 with etorque will beat that raptor to 60. Not off-road but u get what im saying. I drove all 3 half tons and the hemi dodge with its interior absolutely smoke the other two. Not even close. Add the etorque for economy and see ya.
@Jeff Meyer LMAO do your research before you decide to reply to a comment... your “economy” truck has a 0-60 of 6.6 seconds where as a raptor has a 0-60 of 5.5 seconds and gets worst mpg than the raptor. Your truck gets 15/ 21 mpg (city/highway) where as the raptor gets 19/25 mpg. Just to add on to this, your truck if it’s literally not a shit spec would cost nearly as much as a raptor (or more depending on how much you spec it out). I literally just disproved everything you said in the previous comment (these specs are for a 2020 crew cab 1500 5.7L etorque and the 2020 raptor) all of the proof to back up previous statements are on carindigo.com. Hope you learned your lesson.
the raptor sounds terrible. that is not how a 75k truck should sound.
Where have you been the last 5 years...we all know that. Wait for the raptor with the Shelby motor
@@chrisnewby5713 facts yo
@@chrisnewby5713 you wont be able to buy one. They will be super rare and expensive. Ford has no real intention of making the V8 widely available for the raptor.
Paul J right? That Predator engine costs something like $40,000 as a crate engine! The TRX is going to be rare and expensive as well unless they offer a more affordable one with less HP.
@@jaysson1151 The difference is if you have the money you can buy a TRX, if you have the money for the limited Raptor V8 you still don't get one.
Take the engine cover to see a t rex eating a raptor lol
The Raptor sounds like one of these Fast and Furious wanna be kids in their 4 and 6 cylinder cars with pipes ! 😆 Sounding like a weedeater coming down the road. But to them it sounds BAD A**! LMFAO!!!!
It took 10 years for Ram to be at Ford Raptor’s level ! And 3 generation of Raptor is still yet to come out
That's because they never tried to be at the Raptors level. And now that they have, well they blew the Raptor out of the water. I think Ford has some real work to do for this next generation of Raptor if they want to get their title back.
@@assassin1654 what’s it like being stupid?
@@MrDefaultplayer1 You should know the answer to that!
For 10 years of buildup,research by dodge,Fiat this thing should just blow the Raptor away,but I bet it'll only be close and then the next gen Raptor will again eclipse the ram,then back to the drawing board. Not to mention how many years of good times/memories for the Raptor owners they enjoyed while ram drug their knuckles and GM was in the basement sleeping,so I fully expect ram to bring it...finally, but like mentioned earlier it'll be short lived,not to mention the nearly 3 figure price tag that ensures only a few will be able to attain such a vehicle.
@@assassin1654 It's still an FCA product that will fall apart.
Just your daily reminder that brand loyalty is stupid, just enjoy both for what they're good at.
The whine of the supercharger does it for me; had a 6.2 raptor and would dream of dropping in a whipple in that thing. Since they went to the 3.5 TT platform, I wish Ford would do some additional tuning on the wastegates and compressors to get some sick sounds - currently it's flat. Regardless, I'd take either of them :D
As unlikely as this is to happen, I think it would really drive home the capability of trucks like the Raptor or TRX if they took a regular Ram or F150 through some of the same tests or environments to show the comparison. Plus it would make some killer UA-cam content!
Rebel Vs. F150 FX4?
Ford guy here, that Fiat Ram would steal the Raptors lunch money any day.
Lmao I like how you try to throw some shade by mentioning fiat, srt is very much dodge and this comes out of the srt team.
I've been a Blue Oval fan for my entire life... it hurts to agree with you. That TRX is a bad machine!
@@jaeehovaa The problem is when you buy a Toyota, it might be “made in Texas” but it’s still owned by a foreign company, so the profits get spend over seas. Guess what that’s not helping America vary much. Yay a few hundred jobs so what. Ram Fiat is the same way now. It might be sorta made in America but all the profits go overseas. I’m a tec and love all brands. They all have their pros and cons. Just trying to promote true American stuff.
@@cornfedproductions9773 you think ford doesn't outsource? Lol your going to be very disappointed buddy.
@@cornfedproductions9773 imagine if american companies couldn't profit outside the usa that's how you sounds right now.
people: we want a v8 raptor .
ford :you get a v6 turbo and like it.
ram : you want a v8 here a super charged v8 for you
ford : ........
And ford is already saying they're going to make a V8
Notice how they didn't do any brake torque because the ram is super charged and it won't benefit from it ? This channel is starting to get a bit sad
@@028943182 they use to have a v8 and nvr should've gotten rid of it.
@@028943182 naw shit cause dodge took it from them this year
@@028943182 they ditched their v8 dude
Love how they keep saying little more power.
I know everything is going turbocharged. But seriously a supercharger is instant power. And paired to a V8 is just so eargasmic.
Trex plaq eating the Raptor is the most epic subliminal diss of all time in Automobile history. Savage level 1 million shots fired at Dearborn
TRX winner. I have been waiting for this video since y'all announced it a few years ago.
Wow very nice truck and powerful.
Just bought a 2020 Ford Ranger and love it. This is the next step up lol
Me too, I’m very happy with the truck.
the king was dead ever since someone decided to use a V6 in the flagship model instead of a V8
Amen
Funny, since that's when they actually started selling well.
Yeah absolutely. Imagine having an engine (that's actually extremely de tuned) that's won the Baja in stock trim, and also won Le Mans.. oh and also sells better than anything else. Yeah what a pile of shit. Get a grip you aussie clown.
Ford is chief not an Indian. TRX looks like standard Rebel.
@@Flying_GC You done making pathetic excuses?
I like them both but the question is there supposed to be off-road vehicles there were no off-roading today Show me that and how far can you go on a fill up in case I need to bug out
If your biggest worry is fuel economy when buying either of these trucks you sir don't need a truck like this!!! The new Humme or Tesla carr is far more your speed!!!
Username checks out.
as what FCA always like to do is to put powerful engine on every available platform so their suspension is designed to help the truck to reach its speed. No wonder why trx doesn't want to do baja 1000 because of reliability and range. having a fast car doesn't get you any longer. In off-road world, reliability and range is the key which the trx is doubtful
If you are interested, most of the other automotive channels released their videos from this event last night - surprisingly rugged especially the rock crawling and big jumps.
@@gs300rich4, there's NO WAY your Raptor does 500 miles WHEN you're having fun, you are full of crap.
The exhaust note test is such a no brainer, I won’t even comment...
I want both of these! Love fords and rams!
🤔 RAM !
Umm what about handling the bumps and jumps?. Speed isnt everything
I'll wait.
And it's really good on the whoop de doos
go check out the other TFL video. it claims and jumps really well.
Sez the Ford fan boy licking his wounds
TRX is also good at off-roading. Its heavier and has smaller shocks but its just as capable.
I can’t believe Ford is still running lead springs.
At around the 24 second mark when the Trx took off. You can tell they sped the video up. Look at the other vehicles to the right.
Don’t be shady TFL
Picking up my Rebel on Monday!
What a fun shootout!!
I’m not a Ram fan for a variety of reasons, but they hit a home run with the TRX. FCA has a winner on their hands!
I remember the 80's myself!
@@joatmon1857 Yeah and imagine if you actually decided one day to start living in today's world instead of the 80's still.
@@joatmon1857 Of course you do since you are still living in the 80's.
Wow when Roman took off in the ram. That was impressive.
Where was the other guy tho? He was in the Raptor, then jumped in after the runs. Whassupwitdat?
@@CorePathway he wanted to drive the real truck, not a gas guzzler.
Raptor was built for for off-road baja racing. TRX was built to "beat the raptor". See how the TRX has such a heavy front when jumping in the beginning? Sure it sounds better but its more likely to fail on jumps. Also the extra 600 lbs will wear out springs, shocks and other components on the truck more quickly. Have fun with those repair costs.
Bone stock 2nd gen raptor placed 3rd in stock class. I'd take one in a heart beat over the trx
It will be interesting to see if the new Raptor has the Megazilla Supercharged 7.3L as an option. A tuner with a few mid mods got over 600hp N/A, so 800 or 900 would be well withing reach with boost.
There no Honda Ridgeline but they cool 😉
They sure aren't. These are real trucks that aren't a transvan.
@@Welcometofacsistube True that!
lol
👎😭
The new Hummer is the big brother of the Ridgeline.
One sounds like a minivan, the other sounds like its possessed. Chrysler coming out swinging lately
Lately? LMAO you mean since 2015!!
Truth! 👍😎
*fiat*
What swinging??
Ok yes, the TRX sounds better and is faster. But when you go off-roading it’s not about speed or sound. It’s about weight, suspension, tread, shocks, differentials, clearance, etc. the Raptor has perfected that for a decade. That supercharged V8 in the TRX adds a substantial amount of weight to that truck compared to the lighter twin turbo charged V6. I mean yea the TRX is a badass truck and I’d definitely drive one, but if we’re actually talking off-roading, I’d take the Raptor over the TRX.
I second that! I took Raptor to sand dunes, and the weight gave me penalty! All the 4x4 buggies were having fun, sailing through the bumps.
Also, don't forget the fuel economy of Raptor vs TRX.
Lack of 2wd on the TRX is concerning, much higher maintenance costs? Also, I would not consider a touch screen of that size and multitude of functions reliable or rugged, which this truck is supposed to be.
@@alex_707 Oh yea definitely.
@@Tac729 I agree with you 100% seems TFL is looking at aesthetic appeals rather than off-roading capabilities
My thoughts exactly, Raptors in general were never giant monsters, they were light, fast, intelligent pack hunters, Ford has shown that perfectly in they're Raptors, I still think the Gen 2 Raptors are the perfect blend compared to other Raptors, the new Gen 3's will most definitely be crazy but they'll lose a lot of what makes a Raptor a Raptor
Yoooo. I didnt know they filmed this so close to me
Love the raptor!!
Love the trx!!
TFL is the best!!
