What a fantastic life when the fight of the day is whether you are stuck driving a Raptor or TRX. I am a little jealous gentlemen.

Why don't you trust FCA? The only people who don't trust FCA are dumbass keyboard warriors. The are a great company. The 6.2 hemi shares parts with the 6.4 and 5.7. Both of those are very reliable engines. This truck uses the ZF 8 speed, which is considered the best auto transmission in the world. It is used by GM, Ford, Toyota, BMW, etc. The bad reputation comes from the early 2000's. The old Dodge trucks had bulletproof motors, but probably some of the shittiest transmissions ever.

I think people *WANT* that story but from what I've seen in the Raptor community that type of thing is few and far between. I'm guessing it'll be the same with the TRX.

It work out to 5,000 dollars in fuel for every 100,000 miles you drive Over the raptor lol. Wow bang out another thousands every year if you drive a lot.

[@gsxr1189]

Except it's not $17 a tank because being turbo the Raptor can run on Regular but being supercharged the TRX must have Premium to avoid detonation. Figuring the price differences of regular/premium in my area it's a $13,000 difference over a 150,000 mile life of the truck and that's figuring that gas prices stay where they are and we don't ever see a rise to a national average of over $5/gal for premium like they did in the recession.

[@gsxr1189]

Also the trucks are not the same price if both were similarly optioned out including tax the Raptor is $19,000 cheaper than the TRX. Add the $19,000 lower price tag of the Raptor to the $13,000 lower cost to fuel it and the Raptor is $32,000 less. But that's not all because TFL's Raptor which is nearly fully optioned out was $77,000 but you can get a 2yr old Raptor with the exact same option package and 30k miles on it for $55,000 which actually including fuel savings would make the Raptor over $50,000 less than the TRX.

Really looking forward to the off-road video. For me, same cost, I'd take the Raptor all day, the extra power isn't worth anything to me for what I would use the truck for, mild off road, camping, overlanding. But the range is a killer...500 per tank is a very big deal when planning a route that takes you through fairly remote parts of the country off road where you can easily be 100 miles between gas stations or worse. I'm actually thinking of converting my current F150 to the 36gal tank to end up with around 600+ range on a tank which almost means no need for a 5gal rotopax, though regardless of range, knowing you always have a backup can set your mind at ease.

[@richarddemelo]

Hi Roman and Tommy, quick question why do you fill the gas tanks to the brim when manufacturers say do not fill the gas tanks right to the top and just fill till the gas lever clicks

[@603me.]

Believe it's to help normalize results when they're mpg testing. A given pump/tank and environmental conditions may lead to the pump shutting off inconsistently. By letting any frothing subside, and topping off, it's likely a more consistent fill.

[@richarddemelo]

Dave, thanks for your insight

[@Steve-yr5vi]

I had a truck with a camper shell, taking it off always bumped my highway average by 1-2 mpg, I'd say add 1 mpg to the Raptor mpg average or take if off completely? However even still the gas cost difference won't be significant, if you're driving ten thousand miles a year the TRX is going to cost around $500-600 more in gas. The impact of having a 550+ mile range vs a 342 mile range will have a significant impact on what can be done with the TRX vs. the Raptor. For example, there are already people getting rid of the GT500 in favor of the GT350 and the stated reason is the GT500 consumes so much gas they have to constantly fill it up.

Question for TFL. Does the camper shell affect MGPs? Possible video for camper shell vs tonneau cover vs normal?

[@woodfloordoctor663]

There are studies all over that are done on this. Its conclusive that the best fuel economy is done without any shell or cover over the box. The trucks cab and box are designed to work together to reduce the drag coefficient, without using a box cover. In other words, adding a tonneau cover or shell to the box, makes the truck much less aerodynamic, thus reducing mileage. Also, removing or lowering the tailgate also increases drag. The cab and box work together. These new trucks and actually really aerodynamic with number barely at a .30

Big Ram fan here. I’ve owned two. I’d rather have the Raptor d/t price for what you get, gas mileage, and ten years of perfecting the build. Front end diff is better on the Raptor as well.

[@devildogentertainment4904]

Who told you the lie of the differential 😂😂I’ve seen so many snap over my time at Ford

[@travisparcsi4267]

Sorry for the dumb question - Why do you have to double swip for fuel? Here in Australia we just keep going until the vehicle is full.

[@TFLnow]

some pumps turn off automatically at $75 or $100

[@travisparcsi4267]

​@@TFLnow thank you

Do the trucks require premium fuel

[@scotturich]

If you can afford these trucks and then you can afford the gas. Give me that sound!!!

[@R.Nelson]

Good morning Roman and Tommy!! Tough on the wallet filling up these Big Monsters!!😎 When your buying premium fuel!!!

[@kdtune33]

if the Ram is your daily driver. that close to $800 a month just for gas

[@steveawesome9538]

Depending on driving habits, cost of fuel, miles driven, other variables etc, that would be insane. My F150 5.0 has a 36 gallon tank. Usually I fill it up around a 1/4 tank but lately i've been filling it at half tank. A full tank for me is about 600 miles. I go through roughly 2 tanks of fuel a month. So my average cost with my truck is probably between $100-$150 based off driving habits, how much I drive and the price of fuel. Price of fuel varies as I usually go to a gas station linked with a grocery store to take advantage of their fuel perks program. I can't image putting $800 in my gas tank monthly and not using my F150 for some sort of business or work application where the truck was a tool and a tax write off.

[@michaelhorner4011]

You must be driving much more than the average person if your spending $800.00 per month at 12.3 mpg!

[@gasolinediesel972]

Worth it.

[@PaintsvilleLL]

"screw it tommy! oh Hell yeah!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@darkmatter206]

Is the TRX about the same mpg as the Gen 1 Raptor??

[@mariyancymauricioclub2403]

How much weight were you carrying? If not much, maybe you should do a test with added weight to simulate real world trips with family, gear, and luggage vs empty.

[@joethetrucker6834]

My 2003 F-150 FX4 with a canopy and work gear gets 13-14 mpg back and forth to work.

[@marcusmartinez7725]

Harder to resist a heavy pedal on that V8 supercharged motor. My guess 8-10mpg on fun drives but damn it sounds good!

[@amolinari9]

Listen I have to go with dad on this one! When you put it like this, “for ONLY $17 more dollars would you...” lol. Ram TRX baby!

[@lashbera]

But with the hemi you also get to add cam and lifers replacement every 70,000 miles. Raptor all the way.

[@ericadams920]

Did anyone else notice when he put the nozzle back after filling the raptor the first time it was locked wide open

[@traxiii]

The Raptor had a little bit of an aero/drag advantage with the fabric shell on the bed.

[@bionic_one]

$17 extra, plus forgot to mention that the RAM is gonna be spending a fair amount of time in the dealer getting all sorts of things fixed over the next few months... Nevertheless, what good video, as usual.

[@sylvaincote1729]

Yes it does....Sounds so much better...

[@wompa70]

One suggestion, don’t overlay the map unless you’re drawing a line showing where you are. My 4.0 Frontier averages 14 city and 18 highway.

[@Wittyusername82]

That TRX is sweet but I’d still take that Raptor over it all day.

[@HerrPoopschitz]

Id like to see a tuned raptor vs trx drag race.

[@herblorenz90]

Not that it's going to matter for the TRX MPG but the Raptor has a "Some sort of a Cap" covering its bed and anyone knows that if you cover the bed, either with a cap or a tonneau cover you will get better gas (up to .5mpg). Thought you might check into this and factor that into the Raptor's gas mileage, but it still does get good milage for what it puts out in HP.

[@Matt-me4zz]

I’m curious to see the mileage on the return trip. It appears that fuel purchased in Utah was 100% gasoline containing no ethanol. I think the fuel in CO contains something like 10-15% ethanol. I would imagine seeing a tiny increase on the return?

[@roadrunner4847]

Ethanol is not an mpg fix although it may help power

[@arbiter1]

@@roadrunner4847 Ethanol costs you mpg, doubt the mpg gain will be much maybe 0.5-1mpg but that is probably at most. We have 15% here in michigan and avg loss from that to 85 is around 20% mpg if i remember right.

[@roadrunner4847]

@@arbiter1 so true I don’t see a need for it added to our fuel
