The pedal trick has literally been a thing since the mid-2000s lol a Ford expedition has it. Lol

My Raptor R is scheduled to be delivered Jan 28th….I am stoked!

[@joemomma707]

Congrats!!!! Did u get it at MSRP? I’m in Cali. Markups are insane

Love both Raptor R & TRX but Raptor R gonna cost waaaay more for essentially an identical truck. I found out a dealership my buddy works at is selling their Raptor R for $175k!

The trx cant do rwd only because the trans would blow into pieces.

[@meatpunch9144]

I've owned a 2014 Raptor V8, a 2018 Raptor w/ full Whipple tune and upgrades, and a 2021 Raptor... Sold that and got a TRX and I'd NEVER switch back even if the Raptor had a V8. My favorite part isn't even the V8, it's the interior quality, features, steering feel, literally every aspect except the tailgate step (I miss that from that Raptor) the TRX beats it. The R is the same ol truck different engine, and the TRX is a completely different and premium feeling beast. My previous Raptors were great, but my TRX is just in a other league

[@AAC12345]

Exactly! I hate the cheap interior plastics of the Raptor. The TRX is money well spent.

[@robertwilson1664]

I just got my new 2023 TRX and I was driving a 2020 Raptor. You're right, I can't get over how much nicer this thing is. I got it for 6k under sticker which is pretty awesome. Raptor R going for 50-70K over sticker around here. No thanks.

[@brandonmacon3317]

I hated the turbo V6 when they came out in 2010-2011 But... With years of fine tuning and years of data showing it performs not as good but Way better than the V8 I've come to realize it's not bad at all.

Vehicle Virgins Awesome Review I think that Raptor R is Absolutely Incredible although I think Ram TRXs are way better because they sound way better and have Launch Control

Lmao you base your pick on sounds and launch control?? That's priceless. Humanity is doomed 😩😆

[@philipgreensmith1694]

@Brandon Macon is that not how you choose ANYTHING you buy??? Ya know if it offers what you want?! If you want to have launch control but 1 of the 2 cars you're looking at doesn't offer that obviously that's going to affect your decision is it not?! Ya know like if you want something that does 200+ mph your not going to buy a Ford Focus 🤔

Awesome truck my lord, I’m getting the Ranger Raptor as we can’t get Effie’s like this down under..anyway, just to clarify the adjustable accelerator and brake pedals were first done in the Ford Territory 20 years ago by Ford Australia, the inventors of the Ford Ute in 1933, the Barra etc, etc

[@tdlaustralia7791]

Looks great. Doubtful it will come to Australia and if it did it would be 250k

[@ilocanodetoy2225]

Dealers wanted $50000 above MSRP here in Hawaii so it’s $162k not including tax, but the third generation here is available in $80k so you can buy 2 instead of one.

[@nicobellic2465]

Amazing concise review. Keep up the good work PArker.

[@megalifted]

Let’s be real for a moment. This is exactly the same truck as the EcoBoost 37 package Raptor with a different engine for twice the price. And before all the fanboys say “it’s only $109K” yeah right, go buy one at that price. You’re paying $$30-$100K premium for what 250hp? LOL

[@TRX2021]

I like the Raptor but love the TRX and the TRX is faster at constant 3.4 0 to 60....Just a better truck...Seeing a lot of Raptors breaking parts from cheap build but not on the TRX....To each is own and I was a Ford Guy with a 2021 Raptor 37....Best switch I ever did and glad I did....

[@evaristocorripio5434]

Yes trx is much better in my opinion plus looks cooler!

Lmao your full of it. Plenty of videos showing raptors clearing gaps and Fiat RAM trx literally tearing up after a simple hill climb. Put the glue down kid. The TRX has what like 5 more horsepower and sounds mean. That's it.

[@TRX2021]

@Brandon Macon "Put the glue down kid" you say to someone, yet your remark is supposed to be important..I'm not even going to school you cause I have way better things to do then have an argument with you when I own both and going off my ownership of both....Thanks for your reply and do hope you have a great weekend...

[@gersonteo5622]

The fact is you don't own a raptor r, you have a v6 raptor and you're going to compare it to a v8 trx what a dumbass.

[@RogerMNunes]

Was missing a lot your car review videos!!!

[@KingDeadMan]

Clickbaiting is common nowadays (still not cool. So, don't go & get it twisted), but telling me a worst product for more money is better than something at the helm of stock supertruck technology is downright idiocy. 😮‍💨

[@R19Robbin]

This is such a nice truck 🔥🔥

[@nicoboiardo3612]

Nice truck I think it's a little expensive everything takes spensley ridiculous now but if you're going to use that to drive cross-country it won't make it to some of the states with 9 Mi to the gallon don't know the size of the gas tank cuz you'll have to fill up but it always put an aftermarket exhaust in it and you can put a tune in it to get better gas mileage and you'll still have plenty of horsepower

[@wPTwixtor]

Those who can afford these trucks don't care about gas prices lol

[@joemomma707]

@@wPTwixtor lmao!!!! Exactly!y Trackhawk averages 8, raptor 10, 5.0 14, Don’t get me wrong. I rather pay what I used to pay with trump as president. But mpg is not a factor at all when it comes to buying one of these. I’m going with the TRX over the R. Ford messed up with this one. It should have launch control and more power than the TRX. I have a 2019 Raptor. Dodge absolutely murdered the v7 raptor with the trx release. I was hoping ford would do the same or similar here. I’m disappointed.

[@wPTwixtor]

Dodge responds with fuckin authority. Ford is pussy. They purposely make less hp than TRX to show that they don’t need to compete like that. Lmao! Fuck Ford! I’m never buying Ford again. And no fuckin launch control!!!! I’m so pissed cuz I could have bought a trx at MSRP but I decided to wait for the raptor r and it disappointed! Fuck. How much u selling TRX for? Shit.

The TRX sounds better, was built around its 702 hp and didn't start life as an Eco boost and then had a v8 shoehorned in.

[@richardmodglin3900]

Raptor didn't start life as an eco boost.....it was V8.
