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.

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.

The 10spd in the fords seems to be the secret sauce, keeps it the powerband pretty good.

Damn imagine if the Raptor R had a launch control 🤔

[RRobbin]

So sick seeing these trucks together 🔥🔥

Were the valves closed on the raptor? Really sounds like it

[Adrenalinejunkieslife]

Sick video, miss your content! Keep it up dude!

I really like the sound of the ram TRX.

Great video Parker with very good explanations, especially with the physics info included. IMO you can't go wrong with either truck. Both have their pros and cons but either one would be a blast to own.

Raptor is geared for 37’s and TRX is geared for 35’s 🤫

[isaiahdunphy]

can’t wait for aftermarket support on the raptor r. like corsa extremes

[victorwang]

Love the little engineering explainer there😂 also hellcat definitely sounds better with stationary revving

The TRX in the video also has a leveling kit. I get matching tire sizes, but if everything else isn’t going to be factory spec aside from that, it’s really not an accurate race/comparison.

Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to get my Raptor R....

[madcow]

I think the best way to test them out would be, get two stock trucks and put 325 65 18s on the raptor r

[SHELBYGT]

That was awosome! Both are awosome! Cant go wrong with either one!

[mzach]

The TRX has an 8sp trans, the torque multiplies better in Fords 10sp. It also has a more linear power band thanks to the 10sp... So yes, it's quicker off the line

[Lambullghini]

Useful Info & straight to the point, best video you've made In a while!

[Goblin.The.Bastard]

Lol I really love the "for you engineer nerds out there"

What RPM was the TRX launching from? I didn't hear the torque reserve system engage on any of the runs and on the settings screen it appeared to be above 2000rpm which is too high. Any feedback on that?
