  • 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.
  • @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.
  • @thongknong
    The 10spd in the fords seems to be the secret sauce, keeps it the powerband pretty good.
  • @Mursedave
    Raptor is geared for 37’s and TRX is geared for 35’s 🤫
  • @R19Robbin
    So sick seeing these trucks together 🔥🔥
  • @Averybryner
    Damn imagine if the Raptor R had a launch control 🤔
  • It’s not fair you need to bring a completely stock trx not with a bunch more weight and other mods
  • @David11906609
    Were the valves closed on the raptor? Really sounds like it
  • @trav187
    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.
  • @Sean_Farmer
    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.
  • @mzach9018
    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
  • Love the little engineering explainer there😂 also hellcat definitely sounds better with stationary revving
  • @S8ER
    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?
  • TRX definitely got a slight edge in the sound department for me. Got a deeper note to it
  • 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.
  • @SHELBY13GT500
    That was awosome! Both are awosome! Cant go wrong with either one!
  • @seanrowe8894
