Umm.. 2016 was roughly 850 miles, it took them 36hours giving an average speed of 24 mph (probably did some repairs on the road, being a factory team, they probably had a good amount of resources not available to smaller teams)... they posted the slowest time of all finishers (slower than the Baja Bugs) and twice as long as the big boys (the unlimited trophy trucks).

@ladawg81 I think you are the only person in the world who thinks it's a play on TRD. It is TRX short for T-Rex which is bigger and badder than a raptor, which is why they named their truck that and why they have a raptor Easter egg on the truck as well. It is specifically made to combat the Ford raptor I don't think Dodge RAM cares about the trd at all
This was a very good showcase on the new modular tech coming out these days, esp the electronic wastegates. Those in my time will remember it as a rumor or something that couldnt compete with a mechanical wastegate considering the high pressure, temps etc a wastegate sees. If im not mistaken ford is the first company that made a buzz and told the world they are here and they are durable.
Yeah, wanted to buy a Fox fork for my crosscountry mountain bike. 1500 to 2500 for a front suspension 100mm travel. Also that Kashima (bronze) coating requires more care than a woman requires moisturizing cream. If you scrape the Kashima your fork is forked. I'm wondering how much does suspension change cost on this car.
Well done. As an owner of a Gen1 that off roads, I think this was much better than the original B2B on the Raptor. More important than the live valve, from Gen1 to 2 the shocks were upgraded from 2.5" to 3". Not as fancy, but way more important functionally.
big difference between a ram rebel with a ton of horsepower on paper and a purpose built baja truck...its like saying a demon challenger is better than an Aventador SVJ because it has more power...

@Keith Westfall What's actually funny is you're using a third-party company in a argument against a factory truck. BTW Hennessy also cost a shit ton, both of those 700+ Raptor builds are gonna run you well over $100k. Also John Hennessy isn't affiliated Ford, there's no way he isn't going get his hands on the TRX and do some crazy shit.
