    I'm just here to see all the butthurt, Offroad expert, TRX fanboys say if he had more balls to drive the TRX, he could've beat the Raptor. This just proves a giant engine isn't everything, the TRX will always be quicker taking off, but being able to maintain the speed Offroad has nothing to do with the engine. I thought the TRX would be the superior truck, but the more videos I see of it, I've realized Dodge just put that engine on it to 1up the Raptor on paper. That being said, the Raptor R is just going to destroy the TRX Offroad.

    I think the more you raced that track in a row the bigger the delta between the 2 would grow, in succession there’s more likelihood the TRX shocks will start getting overtaxed/overheated lose some of their rebound/compression resulting in getting out of the throttle earlier in hairier sections & I also think the chance of “outrunning” the suspension/brakes & course itself is more likely in the TRX winding up off course getting too overzealous on the gas

      As an avid TRX enthusiast, I agree. The R&D Ford has spent on the Raptor program for the last 15 or so years shows in how composed and adept the Raptor is. However, with this being the TRX's first gen, I'm equally impressed with what Ram did. I'm sure Ram may do what Ford did on the 2019 Gen 2 and add beefier suspension components(updated Bilsteins, different spring rates, etc) to keep it fresh. I would never tire of the TRX that can keep up with sports cars, provide true riding comfort, all in a luxurious environment.

      I disagree, but wholesomely understand your point. Seems he warmed up with the TRX then drove the Raptor as fast as he could IMO. I’ll admit been a Raptor fan since inception yet I’m a TRX owner. It’s very true the Raptor has yacht boat compliance. Point and rip, you can’t feel anything. It’s numb to me and the TRX is designed to go over 100 in the desert with everything far overbuilt versus the Raptor and the Raptor isn’t designed for 100mph+ speeds in the desert.
      The TRX Bilstein BlackHawk e2’s provide a detailed sense of the terrain and grip. The Fox suspension is great for minimizing feeling, removing sense of terrain, and smoothing out all sense of wheel articulation. Feels like a Yamaha YXZ side by side. It makes for a yacht boat ride. I prefer BMW type of terrain feedback and the ZF-8HP95 planetary gear set transmission, specifically built for high end vehicles. that’s in BMWs, Bentleys, and Aston Martins. The Ford 10-speed is a version of the base F-150 transmission and has many issues. Now, RAM has had many issues with fit and finish for the 21’ model year, but this is typical of “all new model year” vehicles.
      Also, the interior of the TRX is far superior to the Raptor. It’s Maybach vs GMC when compared to the Raptor. Both are nice, but we know which one is better.
      Last point, the styling of the vehicles are Reverse Side of The Moon vs McLaren. One’s a block of legos waiting to transform into Optimus and the TRX is simply gorgeous yet muscular.

    I think you probably could’ve driven both harder, and also aired down the tires to 18 psi for better grip. It still proves that the Raptor is the better truck. The Raptor was visibly softer over bumps, and if you did drive them to the max, the Raptor’s superior steering would mean top speed is way higher all the while being more comfortable and composed. It also helps that the tires are 1.5 inches thicker (10 inches vs 8.5 inches). Also the TRX brake pads are smaller, with half a ton extra weight.

    Both nice trucks, but i think if there was a professional driver who can run both flat out, i think the trx will overwhelm the raptor in acceleration on the straights, im not saying the trx would be easier to drive or more compliant, but you cant ignore 700hp when someone drives it like they stole it.

      Nope, suspension is far more important offroad than power for Baja style racing. This was a pretty tame track - harder hits would have meant the TRX would fall further behind. A TRX I ran with at Texplex experienced this firsthand.

    TRX has the power. Raptor has the balance. Its all in the suspension.

The power of the TRX has nothing on the Raptor because it is so large and heavy it cant put it down.

    Please don't take this the wrong way because I mean no offense, but it doesn't take a professional driver to see that you're scared of it. The power of the trx is clearly to much for you. I think your right in saying the raptor is for someone less experienced to drive, even to learn with.The TRX would absolutely smoke the raptor with an experienced driver behind the wheel. You clearly are inexperienced, and don't know how to enter and exit turns at proper speeds. Your shifting before and after was a dead giveaway. It doesn't seem that you understand breaking and throttling through apexes, nor do you seem to understand how to use throttle to preload your suspension properly for jumps and terrain changes. If you were to redo that test with someone that knew what they were doing I feel that you would get drastically different results. Again I mean no offense by that. You're absolutely right it takes a way better driver, someone that is experienced to control the trx. However, that's exactly what it's for. Someone with no experience driving especially at greater speeds has no business attempting to do so with that much truck. That's just asking to get someone hurt or killed, and most definitely a destroyed truck. Other than that great review and comparison. You did a wonderful job hitting both of the trucks pros and cons, as well as explaining the differences between them. Great video keep up the good work I have no doubt with more wheel time and a little more confidence in your driving abilities you'll be fast. Remember when racing always trust yourself and your abilities. Questioning or second guessing yourself will either get you hurt or create bad habits where fear controls the outcome. 🤙👍✌

    • @T4nkcommander

      Suspension performance is the most important factor in this kind of driving. The TRX is more equivalent to a Gen 1 in this regard - so yes, he is definitely scared of messing it up giving how little headroom he has with the TRXs weight.
      Ford has done their homework and reduced weight while beefing up the suspension, which allows for much higher speed and confidence for surprise hits that inevitably will sneak up on you.

I think both of these trucks are great and it's personal preference more than anything. I've had a Gen2 Raptor and it left a lot on the table with power and I wound up tuning it and was still left unsatisfied. I like the Gen3 but can't do the ecoboost again. My TRX is on order and should be here next month. I'm sure the power is great and I would have to assume the raptor is easier to drive but it doesn't necessarily mean it's faster.
