That sir is a 2022. The 2023s have a fully digital driver side gauge cluster display

[@uPilot]

Yes!

I am a filipino, and i admire how this guy slowly and clearly verbalize his message. With God's blessings, may your tribe grow. Thanks

[@joecharmley]

Glad you got hands on this!

[@FaithfulServant316]

I love the new TRX in White with the Black graphics & accents that POP so much better than any other color, looks so mean like that.

[@chefls1]

Great video! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@LCculater]

Black is the best colour! , beast !!!!

[@Autoguru83]

Never saw a TRX run such a slow time. Your test time is not the norm. Mine does 3.7 and has never ran in the 5's 🚩

[@scarroll625]

Agreed 100%, he wasn’t driving it to its full potential, but I do understand that it’s a loaner vehicle and he probably was asked not to beat on it. Still, he’s obviously a Ford fanatic.

[@TestDrivenTV]

Yes we are Ford fanatics which is why the TRX made it to our recommended Id Buy It list and the Raptor R did not. In any case our 0-60 testing is NOT by any means scientific, though we did test the Raptor R and TRX in the exact same location under similar conditions. Both were driven in their respective sport modes and given it all.

[@FaithfulServant316]

Maybe because they tested in higher elevation??

[@paultruesdale7680]

It goes on my I would by it list. The suspension looked really good. great review Sam.

[@rickeyb450]

Recently traded in my Gen 2 Raptor for a lightly used 2021 TRX and I’m completely blown away. Haven’t driven the Raptor R but I’m sure it’s a blast as well. However, in my personal opinion the TRX has more of a road presence and the steering feels more grounded as opposed to the Raptor. The immediate power is mesmerizing and the sounds of the supercharger and exhaust make it one of a kind. TRX for the win!

[@scarroll625]

Only thing I disagree with is when he said the Raptor R is faster. I raced 2 different Raptor R’s and beat both of them. I think the TRX is the best truck ever made. Other than that, a solid review as always.

[@TestDrivenTV]

In our own testing the Raptor hit 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. The TRX hit it in 5.5. While that is not scientific, if you look at most contemporary reviews and even factory stated acceleration times, the Raptor R is faster.

[@scarroll625]

@@TestDrivenTV if you say so!

[@TestDrivenTV]

And the factories and most other news outlets. This isn't Fox News, we report facts and data.

[@user-wb5in6jp6l]

@@TestDrivenTV Truth, Raptor R is all the craze and fandom and it is certainly faster. Its gonna bring in big money for the Raptor industry.

[@jeffwill4923]

To be honest most of the TRX's tested are fully loaded. Not many test base models. I can see a base TRX being very competitive with a mostly fully loaded Raptor R.

[@NomadikJean]

This truck makes my heart pounding really hard!!!!!

[@Jazzyexplorer]

I the one thing you guys forget is that without the Raptor there would be no TRX and it seems over the years that you really don't like Ford

[@robertannable9584]

The backseat of the fifth gen ram has two more inches of legroom than a ram hd Megacab. 45.2” vs 43”

[@uuuu-or3wf]

👍

[@tira_otro_cambio]

This is a hell of a truck but i would buy a 392 rubicon if i was on this level in life.

[@aenarcos7021]

i will reach this level but i am considering the trx more because it can tow more

[@OGMOPAR]

Power extending mirrors slide out 🙈

[@name.doommvi]

How did bro get to New Austin🤣🤣

[@TestDrivenTV]

In a TRX
