    At what point will Edmunds stop doing the EV vs. ICE vehicle drag race? The results are almost always obvious (and when they're not, it's generally because of an EV manufacturer decision to limit acceleration beyond a certain point--I'm looking at you, Ford!). Instant torque wins drag races.

    Lol. Comparing an over 800hp single speed electric truck to a 702 hp gas motor is not really a comparison. What do you expect is going to happen. In the end the trx is more truck more capable off-road than a mall crawler on big rims and small tires. The trx can run Baja the rivian Goodluck.
