Whether you fall on the TRX or Escalade-V side, these are two amazing feats of engineering. The fact that vehicles of that size and girth can launch like this is nothing short of incredible. 🇺🇸🦅
Brah, its just big engines, no feat.
@@mobleyMobley wait until they come in the shop lol
@@mobleyMobley a lot of vehicles have big engines in them and can still be slow bro
@lorenenoch6020 and a lot are very fast, nothing new or that impressive, still slower than a tesla brah.
A Tesla is beating a lot of cars bro, it’s hard to beat 1020 horsepower on instant torque… pretty dumb comparison. Not to mention one is thousands of pounds lighter.
The front end lift on the Caddy is unreal...nice
No doubt
Nice??? It got smoked by a goddamn pickup🤣
@Mayhem Mike well the thing that you're missing is dodge underestimates their numbers
@@lmn7_743 only makes 585 to the wheels. Amazing truck though. Fun to drive
@@mayhemmike1789 and..? If you had a fast car with a nice front end lift just to be gapped by a more powerful beast it doesn't take away the fact that 1. It's quick and 2. It has a nice front end lift.
I didn't even care who won the race I was just in awe by the fact that these big trucks are going that fast
So true. Who gives a rats ass what you have both are fast as hell. It feels good to be alive!
RIGHT! Same here!
Look up UCC if you want to see heavy trucks go mega fast. You would blown away at what a cummins or a duramax can do. FirePunk is a good channel to check out.
Cadillac needs to round that figure to 700hp in order to increase the width with the size of TRX, it would be very cool if Hennessey gave it a modification
pretty stupid really
Those V8s though! Unreal !!!
Imagine the TRX on the same tires as the caddy 😮
Imagine a trackhack and the Cadillac
@@CristianPerez-zt8rh the Durango dusts the V, so I can only imagine what a Hawk would do.
@@CristianPerez-zt8rh imagine the weight difference
@@adrianl6754 Weight and power difference is massive. Mopar or no car.
@@PyroBlonde7777 No land yachts for me, Heartbeat for life
I all I hear is pure American Glory! Hearing these V8 monsters at the same time is truly a treat.
The squat on that Caddy is insane! LOL! I also think thr ESV should've been raced to level the playing field against the TRX(closer weight and length), but not that it matter much here. I can tell the TRX was not raced in Baja mode. That allows the truck to start in first gear and really cracks the shifts. It is also still remarkable what Ram accomplished on that truck with A/T 35s and its considerable weight.
The Escalade tuned for comfort is certainly more impressive in this race from an engineering standpoint - but I understand Mopar/Dodge fans and their obsession with straight line performance & drag race trophies. GM would embarrass Stellantis with a TRX competitor, just wanted to be clear.
@@mybro727 more like tuned for nausea. This is a "performance" SUV on 275 section all-season rubber from a lower-tier model? This thing is barely faster than a Grand Wagoneer.
First GM has to figure out how to stop lifters from failing before they come for the King Kong TRX.😂
@mybro727 well the TRX is for "baja" racing btw...it's just happens to have 702 horses...
@@mybro727 in case you’ve forgotten, GM did make a competitor to the TRX and Raptor. It’s the ZR2 Silverado and it is the single biggest waste of money they’ve come out with in a long time. It’s barely cheaper than both of the competition and has the same powertrain as a Yukon Denali. Total embarrassment of a car. They added some extra ride height, added locking diffs and called it a day. GM has the tools to make an outstanding truck, yet they could not have fallen more flat.
@@mybro727 So your big idea to somehow make the slower Chevy relevant was to mention interior quality/comfort? The TRX is literally the nicest truck on the market. Anyone saying otherwise is drinking massive copium. While the TRX isn't winning against a luxury SUV in interior quality its still nice enough to the extent that the small lead the Cadi has in luxury is literally meaningless. GM fanboy lol
These behemoths sound like thunder and lightning fighting each other as they're going down the track, awesome!!
funnier if one blew a tire!!!
Great video 👍👍. I have to agree. My Cadillac Escalade absolutely flies, but off the line it has that split second hesitation. I plugged in an AFM delete to see if that would help. It was night and day. Instead of waiting until the computer switches it into all 8 cylinders, it always runs in 8 cylinders with the AFM delete. People say that you get worse mileage, but I didn’t buy a Prius. Great video. Thanks.
I can't think of anything more fun than watching a truck and a SUV drag race!
Maybe a truck vs bulldozer?!🤷
Love watching you guys. I would love to have a chance at racing one of those. Great job!!
A race we definitely needed to see....
That Escalade looks like a beast with that take off lift! 😮
I have to admit, that's a nice cadi. Big fan of it now, always hated the look, but I like everything they've done.
Earned a sub. Been researching both vehicles extensively and learned something today. Thanks for doing this awesome vid!
The squat on the Escalade is hilarious 😅
It was very much expected for the TRX to win. But, the guy in the Caddys was late on the gas, essentially when he did a countdown on the roll. As far as pricing go, your paying for luxury, a vehicle that looks and sounds better, along with it not being overrated. Though, I'd pick the Escalade V at a cheaper price by finding one that's wrecked not too bad with low mileage (obviously), but buying one brand new wouldn't be for me. All together, the TRX wins in performance, but grabbing some attention by women and driving in luxury along with a crazy good sound system from factory, Escalade V takes it all damn day.
Well another thing to mention is he said they were running the Escalade in sport mode which is not as aggressive as V mode. The TRX would probably still win because it weighs less and still makes more power but I think it would be closer.
LOVE IT.. TRUE FUN AT ITS BEST!!! LOVE YOUR CONTENT
That caddy is unreal 😲 something stock can finally keep up and look good
Amazing video!! That TRX is a beast but that caddy is mean too..
Question: I read there is a ‘’V’’ button behind the shifter - was that button activated for the race?
2 absolutely beautiful vehicles testing their might on the strip one hell of a video
Two awesome vehicles💪🏼👍Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏽😎🌴was in Texas a month ago didn’t make it to Henessey performance 😃I’ll be back in the summer to check you guys out
Nice comparison, good job fellas
The roll race was even more impressive! 😳
The dad truck vs the hot mom suv the kids are the real winners here lol
Great video
The video description clearly says the TRX is heavier.
2023 Cadillac Escalade V:
-Supercharged 6.2L V8 rated at 682 hp and 653 lb.-ft. of torque
-10-speed Transmission
-6,217 lbs
2022 RAM TRX:
-Supercharged 6.2L V8 rated at 702-hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque
-8-speed Transmission
-6,439 lbs
100% correct. The 35 inch tires, much wider and reinforced steel frame/chassis, and heavy skid plate add considerable weight to the TRX. So many people are assuming the Escalade is heavier.
Great research guys. Thanks 👍🏽
Still have Hellcat Durango vs. EscV?
It’s crazy a beast this size can move like that. The sound is fantastic.
TRX Win 🥂🍾🎉
this RAM TRX is my dream
Love mine
That TRX is an awesome truck!
love mine. it's like christmas everytime i get in. so much fun to drive.
@@DavidGPope I have the 2018 Ram Hemi 5.7ltr V-8. And it's really nice. If I could afford it I would definitely upgrade to the TRX
Junk
Ram TRX FOR THE WIN. love both these vehicles. Caddy looks like it wants to pop a wheely the whole way down
I would kill for either of these. The ram is probably more fun though being more of an off-road focused vehicle
you know we know you have no class
The caddys front lifts so much 😄
Only in America do we think we need massive vehicles to be outrageously fast and I LOVE it!!!
I want to see the new escalade v vs the hpe 800 escalade from the previous generation that would be amazing to watch a hennessy v escalade against the new v
That caddy really hauls the groceries! I'm impressed but that price is also mind blowing! Lottery ticket anyone?
That Escalade is impressive!!!!
Man I love it. I gotta come out there. 😱👏👍
That was the coolest thing ever!
TRX didn’t use it’s launch control, nor did he mention being in sport mode or not… as the caddy driver did have it in sport.
The TRX is amazing… I love how I keep seeing videos of exceptions having to be made for other trucks to give them a chance.
one of yall needs to be on hoonigan's this vs that series
Both of these are my favorite vehicles!
Interesting mashup.
Those Hemis are Savage beasts🤨
TRX rules baby all day and all night 😂
That’s the sound of 1000 bald eagles screaming at the same time. Amazing.
The Ram is no joke but the caddy is still no slouch.
Would be very helpful to include engine/hp/torque, etc. stats on screen overlay
I don't think cadillac interior puts ram to shame. With all this cadillac plastic everywhere and seats way more comfortable in trx
this had to be one of the most entertaining races i have ever watched i loved the energy from the guys and them two beautiful monsters running it!! as i like to say!! FUCKING MINT!!!!
Awesome video! I do think the Escalade can launch a lot better than that. I had a 6.2l trail boss and it would literally jump up while launching it in 4auto with trac control off. Idk could be different since it’s supercharged. That TRX is crazy though!
Great job thank you 🙏
I agree. I think the Escalade could launch better as my 07 Silverado launches better, but it does have the 5spd allison and not a 10spd.
I would say is the transmission because I driven the 6.0 Denali with 4 speed advantage of not shifting too much I think helps more this kind of trucks compare to my Escalade 2010 with the 6 speed I something think the transmission is kinda figuring out like the guy said should I switch or keep going on eco mode
@@mr.89chevy13 your 07 silverado has a 5 speed allison??? I thought they came with a 4l60e? Or the 4l80 in the HD's.
@@Bsims50 I did too, but that's what the previous owner said. Might be swapped in, but not sure. Only time will tell till I break the engine down and modify it soon. But if it DOSEN'T have the allison transmission, I can say it sure as hell launches pretty damn well for a built tranny if that.
Are we witnessing history... the beginning of the end of true G-HP
I would like both please ! ❤
Was I the only one on the couch pressing my imaginary gas pedal to the floor 🧐😂
They sound absolutely incredible
Yes Yes de Power las 2 👍👍👉👉💪💪
The way the caddy sits down at take off is crazy
This is glib- like wrestling. Still can't look away.
Just the sound of those 2 V8's screaming is majical.
The Escalade exhaust! Im in love. Just need $200,000.
I just love how the caddilac almost can pop a wheelie and keeps its nose up the whole way down the track 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’d still choose the caddy for the luxury and it still moves good for the size definitely would be getting the kids to school on time
The guy in the TRX looks like an American 🇺🇸 version on Sam Niel! Great work guys!
Wish I could see the builders name plate on that engine in the V.
Просто дух захватывает , от такой мощи ! 🔥🔥🔥702 лощади против 426 ти Эскалейд не плохо держится 👍
В Кадиллак 680. Это v
Great Video. Please verify the weight difference
Holy crap I thought $110k for a raptor r was nuts, ain't no Cadillac made worth $150k+
I will take both please!
Really evenly matched. The Caddy needs some transmission tuning.
Agreed, considering the TRX is 6,439 lbs and the Escalade is slightly lighter at 6,217 lbs. And the HP difference is also slight at 702 HP for the TRX and 682 HP for the Escalade.
@4:00 what drone you guys using? That thing is fast lol
I think the Escalade is simply just too big. GM definitely should’ve brought back the trail blazer performance line with this power plant. Would’ve been the hottest suv/crossover out
different class. maybe dodge should have brought back the dakota and stuffed it with the trx powerplant? 🤣
Less power and torque and more weight . The trx has higher performance stats .
@@Cuda_Jr was the Dakota ever considered a performance vehicle for dodge?
They supposedly have 2 door tahoe SS coming out with 600hp but we shall see
The TRX is heavier.
Can't wait to see what Hennessey performance do to both of these vehicles and running again...
♠️⛩️🎺🎼🤙🎮
Escalade V prob the most exciting SUV in a decade
At the 48 second mark, what is that pink fluid by bubbling? Is that the coolant?
Yes
This engine in the ZR2 would be perfect
I like both
That was fun
I just love the fact there is nothing to crash into 🤣🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Oh boy what are they going to do to the cadillac escalade? I can't wait to see!
Buy 4th Gen Escalade or Yukon or Tahoe with 6.2 L86 for have the money of EscaladeV. Put STG1 high lift camshaft with all the supporting mods, put forged internals with lower compression ratio (stock is 11.5, put around 9), put a supercharger on it, tune and that's all. You have a faster SUV for less money and with solved factory problems.
What these things run? Like a 12.5-13.0 second 1/4 mile? Wish you guys timed it. Both are big heavy beasts.
Not sure about the escalade but trx's have been running low 12s pretty consistently
y'all need to give the guy in the caddy some caffeine because he sleeps to much😂😂 ... both the dig and the roll race the TRX has a full second on him before he steps on the gas to take off almost like he is intentionally giving the TRX the jump for some reason but he's just really bad at timing.
Hennessy never disappoints!
Hennessy has nothing to do with these vehicles, except driving them.
@@XploreAz wdym
My God, the way Dodge has engineered their vehicles to launch as hard as they do is otherworldly. A full size pickup truck that weighs as much as a yacht should not be able to take off the way the TRX does. But it does, and that's why we love Dodge.
Love my TRX !
That caddy is one of best sounding vehicles on the planet
Holy hell, I was not aware of this new escalade v. Thing mobe out for being a house. I'm a ford guy but damn that caddy is nice.

To see a Horsepower war like the Late 60's / early 70's! It's a Great time to be Alive! I Need That Escalade! 😴
bonjour magnifique vidéo comparative entre le escalade v et le ram trx bravo aux ingénieurs des deux marques. je me demanderais ce qui se passerait si l'entreprise hennessy augmenter la puissance 1000hp du escalade v 2023 cordialement
The Escalade is impressive, everyone expects the trx to be fast.. not taking away from the trx because it’s a bad machine as well… and motor week had the gall to say it wasn’t as luxurious as its German counterparts… 680 horse kinda makes up for it
those V8's sound amazing!
I've been seeing the Escalade v going for 200k plus... ........ Crazy
It’s a Cadillac not a Chrysler
U should of tried the paddle shifter on the caddy
In round 1 the caddy fell asleep. Did you leave early at 3? Or how
Look at the squat on that caddy! Haha! Love both V8s! Take either over electric any day!
TRX is king of the full size truck category. The 10R outperforms the 10L in my opinion. The Mustang takes full advantage of its 10 speed.
I wonder what kind of mpg they are getting? They should share how many gallons were used, might be interesting.
i have the TRX, he prob got 1.5mpg at most!
7-9 on my trx
Was the caty in launch mode
