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.

[@boosted_red8294]

Add aftermarket bumpers to the weight of the TRX. Stock vs. stock is just about an even race. I just wish I could afford an R at $110K plus dealer markup they'll be well over $130-$150K unfortunately.

[@masorcas1000]

That passenger you are talking about is about the additional weight the steel bumpers on the trx added. Plus the rear tires and rack are about 500lbs. And the 37’s on the trx are real 37’s not skinny wanna be 37’s on the raptor. I can assure you the 37’s on the trx are waaaaay heavier

[@dailylife3975]

That's a fair race I have to say same size tires the guy in the back of the Raptor he was well over 200 pounds look like so with the tires in the back that's probably Fair

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

Vehicle Virgins Awesome Video I think those races were absolutey incredible and I think the TRX would have won anytime without those Tires in the back

[@evanharris3802]

Yeah, and what about the 37s on the TRX? That’s not 250lbs as to the spare wheels in the bed. Try 300lbs +. Oh, and the TRX has a spare under the bed too. Also add in the 200lbs steel bumper. Any other handicaps you want to throw at the TRX? Still ran as good as the Raptor.

[@tuckerlehman]

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.

I think that having the trucks designed around tire sizes matters too. The ford has proper axle ratios, etc for 37s, and the trx was geared and set up for 35s. Maybe if engineered around having 37s it would be different? Who knows. Also weight of tires/rims plays into it as well.

[@6774Bambam]

I was hoping someone would point that out.

The ford has the same axle & trans ratios in 35 or 37” form the factory just changes the ECM

[@braidendespain28]

@@MS-mr4zm the dodge is not for 37s though, might be better to put the raptor on 35s, same tire, and then run it again. Since it’s just an ecm change, it would be easier to do that.

[@MS-mr4zm]

@@braidendespain28 yeah I agree that would be more apples to apples, I’ve owned 3 Raptors a ‘14, an ‘18 (that got totaled unfortunately) & now a ‘20, both gen2’s tuned, my ‘20 made 440whp/490rwtq w/ a 93 octane Gearhead tune. If you add some bolt ons & tune for e50/e85 or add meth injection more power, bigger turbos? Even more. The 3.5HO has fully forged internals/rotating assembly- shared w/ the Ford GT- only other vehicle that has this engine (albeit w/ a dry sump oiling system, a revised intake/exhaust & way bigger turbos), point is the 3.5HO can handle way more power than stock & it actually makes more power than advertised. I was always a V8 only guy, but w/ the forged guts & easy tunability the 3.5HO is really perfect, the R & TRX are basically overpowered, I’d rather bring the 3.5HO to close to the R power level & call it a day

[@thesaffellman]

The trx tires are heavier than the raptor tires as well your running a hybrid tire vs a all terrain and as mentioned the trx was designed for a 35” tire

[@SuperOogoog]

[@user-kn7ps7wr7o]

You need to incorporate drones in your video. Two drones set up on objects following to provide the frontal and rear view or at least one drone with someone flying it to capture the race from different angles. It will save you a lot of editing time and provide a way MORE cooler race effects. Just my $0.02c

[@jamessudbury6943]

[@christiansjolander86]

[@kwkabbes]

Apples to oranges man. TRX has several weight addition/ speed hindering mods, I understand the extra person and spare in the RaptoR but my biggest argument is the 37/12.5 super heavy toyos on the TRX and the fact the 10wide rim is putting roughly 10 percent more rubber on the ground which leads to a major downfall on asphalt. Go stock for stock if you get the chance. Really annoyed that ford is making that truck 20k more as well.

[@Acorn12g]

Apples to oranges?? Geeez, It’s like you have never seen a vehicle performance comparison before. Also why be mad at Ford’s higher price?? Seems you like the TRX anyways so save your money

[@thomasallis1]

I LOVE both trucks, but this was not a fair race.. you have added a considerable amount of weight to that ram by: -Adding two extra spare tires (I own a TRX I am aware that there is also a spare under the bed of that truck as well) -FRONT & REAR bumper are not stock -unknown what yellow square shaped objects are w/in the grill? After noticing all of this I would say that it is an unfair race. To make this a fair race I would at least consider stating in your video all of the aftermarket adjustments made on each truck and the total weight of said adjustments. Only then would the audience be aware of what actually they are comparing b/c this is not a stock v.s. stock race. P.S. I think if your going to argue the 37” v.s. 35” tires then don’t add two tires in the bed of the truck and just make the only difference the tires and not everything else that has been added. (Also if you’re going to counter balance weight w/both trucks don’t use two different objects use the same objects not two tires then saying that the weight of that individual is equivalent. I think people want transparency and I don’t think that does a good job of showing it) Hope this helps w/future videos.

the tires in the back of the TRX make it slower? or is that standard?

Not standar! Now, the Raptor R its way more lighter than the TRX and you add more weight to the TRX. 😬

I just ordered a fully loaded trx for 107k so no it’s not 30-40k unless you’re talking about a bare bone entry model which you can’t compare to a fully loaded ford.

Didn't reducing the tire diameter on the Ford for a drag race have a similar effect to reducing the gear ratio of the rearend making it more competitive than it originally was?

I’n the last race the ram did not jump that was just a great launch you were sleeping on the hit

[@jeromehill7411]

This was a pretty close race

[@lonnyjohnson8732]

If you know engineering, it is the combination of tires, rear axle gear ratio, transmission, and engine that really give you the performance. You took the TRX out of it's designed and engineering performance by changing the tires. You should have looked at changing the Raptor to 35s, and run the test again.

[@guardrail2897]

I've seen numerous other videos where the TRX eats the Raptor R. The R is geared for the 37s. The TRX isn't.

[@triplexpotter5159]

If we are comparing price the trx is cheaper and comes with more options.

[@kubeanie18]

Actually the Raptor is fully loaded Max options except for the sunroof so actually that your answer is not true

[@slsa915]

I heard the price difference between both fully loaded is about 20k. Is the 0.1 sec faster Raptor worth an extra 20k? Assuming they perform the same off-road.

[@brokenwrench404]

The raptor has the better tried and true suspension

[@Shreddinstan]

Everyone crying a river about weight but it was still a good race to me! I drove a trx and would love to own one! Never drove a raptor but that would be killer too!

[@Lhondureno]

Use a stock trx n take out those 2 spares

[@Jimmyxsx]

That comparison has already been done, the TRX is quicker from a dig but the Raptor is faster in a roll race.

[@jaytee742gearhead7]

Then why try to give the ford an advantage?

[@MG-jp5ij]

You need to make it fair and put both on 36 inch tires also take the 2 tires out of the bed of the Ram.

[@justinrichard6837]

I am no ford dodge or chevy guy. If it has a engine I like it. I just know messing with trucks in general a little bigger tire then stock is slower without gearing for proper size. Not a true test without gearing trx for 37s.

[@thegoodwood.71]

Lol your saying you need 37in tires for true test but the two tires wight are different TRX us MT and Raptor us AT the wight difference is a lot . Maybe take out the extra two wheels out of the TRX

[@jbshipe]

The person who is doing the countdowns always has an advantage. Gotta have lights or an external flagger to start.

[@skmadsen1010]

Those aftermarket 37” Open Country tires on the TRX weigh 94lbs each. So to have two spares in the bed adds 188lbs just in tire weight. With the wheels it’s at least 300lbs. And yet the TRX was only behind by a hair. Try swapping and putting those spare tires in the Raptor and then we’ll see what happens. This was clearly set up for the TRX to lose.

[@spacefras]

Raptor had passenger in back seat

[@skmadsen1010]

@@spacefras that person would have to be 300-350lbs to make it fair. The Raptor also needs to have steel bumpers. You can’t take a modded truck with extra weight and compare it to the stock truck and say “Yep, the Ford is better.” It’s just funny to me how the Raptor has lost every race until they find this TRX that is heavily modded. And I mean heavily. I guess that’s what it takes to make a ford fan feel better😂

[@skmadsen1010]

@@spacefras also notice that the Raptor’s gas light is on and the TRX shows a full tank. So there’s another 200lbs right there. So we’re easily 500lbs more in the TRX with unfair weight and it lost by a hair and won the third race which he says the TRX jumped but he clearly started after “Go!” It’s just comical how much they set up the Raptor to win.
