    Everyone wants to drag race. Make a two mile course in the desert and time the trucks. Add a pressure measurement device on top of the seat and the driver's bottom and see how much force the truck is pounding the spine and single race to see who has the best time the Raptor R or the TRX

      To be honest, 0 - 60 is irrelevant for this type truck. Definitely need an off road course. I agree that truck testing blogs do not test for what the truck is designed for. Typically, blogs do mud, rock crawling, and spinning donuts in the dirt.

      A regular gen2 or gen3 raptor will already beat a TRX in actual offroad courses, the TRX outruns it’s suspension real quick & is quite nose heavy. What we need to see is a race @ the drag strip, the outcome offroad is already pre-determined unless Ram plans on upping the ante in the suspension/fire dept while also shedding lbs & adding true 4wd 😬

      @@MS-mr4zm So if this is the case, why call the TRX the new King when it can't even beat the V6 Raptor Off-Road ? The literal purpose of the Raptor is Off-Road racing, not drag racing at all, so as soon as people complain and say the TRX beats it on a drag strip it's already lost, it's not an Off-Road truck than anymore or can ever be if all people praise it for is it's power and drag strip capabilities, which is exactly what i have been saying to anyone crediting the TRX to be better than the Raptor as an Off-road truck it's bs. The TRX sucks at it's own job.

    The Raptor R looks great and I would love to have one. My 2 issues are stealerships jacking up the prices way over MSRP and Ford doing nothing about it, and we are in the worst recession since the 1970s. The starting price of $109K is ridiculous. I can buy a 2022 TRX for $92K which is way over the TRX MSRP which will end up being $40K less than the Raptor R after dealer markups (greed). Why can't we order direct from the mfr? All you need the dealer for is maintenance for the 800 recalls.

      My local dealership here in Colorado won’t go above MSRP and may even sell for less than MSRP if you want to talk to them. Ironically, they sell both Ford and Dodge as well as Jeep. I just ordered a 392 Rubicon yesterday and am think about ordering a TRX Ram as well. I had previously said before that the only way I would ever buy a Raptor would be if it had a V-8 again and I won’t rule that out but I still think the TRX is a better truck and it will share like parts with my 2023 Jeep 392 JLUR.

    The engineer is 100% right on about building the truck to win in the desert! I could care less about 'winning' against the TRX in HP numbers, 0-60 or 1/4 mile on pavement. Keeping that weight down, keeping the truck well balanced front/rear, keeping the handling predictable is what it's all about if you plan on using if for more than just racing to the Starbucks drive through that you might not fit in. :D

    I think the people that keep asking for the V8 would have been fine with a 5.0 tuned in between the current truck and Mustang to 440hp back in the SuperCab configuration. Heck I think most buyers would like a more basic shock package if it meant Ford could bring the entry point back to $55k. Then make a Baja package with the live valve shocks and whatnot as a 10k option. Then the full tilt Supercab could be $65k and the SuperCrew $70k, which is where I think current Raptor pricing is. There is certainly room for the Raptor R but I think there is more demand for a more entry level truck like the Gen 1, which I think started at $48k when launched.

If you could have just optioned that into one or something. Make a Raptor and a Raptor R package for the Tremor. I think it's a nice truck but some of the pricing is just getting out there.

Improved all tha areas that needed it and now the ball is in RAM's yard...no matter what I think the back and foth between those 2 will be interesting but is going to be hard for RAM to overcome that weight difference.

      @@kinsmen1764 all this fuss over every last rated horsepower is silly. Who cares if it's 700 or 710 I mean come on. The only reason it's making 700 is because rpm was lowered to 7k and they optimized the power curve for truck usage. It has a better power to weight ratio than the trx and it will murder it in an actual offroad racing environment (what it was actually built for). This thing has potential to make some crazy power if one wants if people can actually tune them. May require a stand alone if they aren't tunable which would suck.

It’s clear that Ford instructed you not to compare to the TRX in this video, but I can’t help but to think that once Ram puts 37s on the TRX then they will sell a ton of trucks. The Raptor R will only be produced in limited numbers at a high MSRP plus dealer mark up and will push many more potential buyers to the Ram.

    This is awesome that ford finally did this to compete with the TRX. That being said at 32:16 the engineer sounds a little unsure of how many they will be able to build, which is unfortunate because that means insanely high dealer markeups and people who end up buying these never putting them to use so that value can 'appreciate'. Specs and performance aside, this is ultimately where the TRX will still beat the Raptor R and that's on the basis of availability.

    These are going to be highly allocated, dealers will not be able to order as many as they want. So due to the rareness, they will be bringing way over MSRP to the few that can buy one. Preorders are most likely have already filled up most of the original allocations. Dealerships are not nonprofit organizations, and I would bet that if those that are complaining about mark ups owned a dealership, you would be doing the same thing. Supply and demand. It is a great option for the few.

It’s infuriating that some of us have been waiting for a V8 raptor to make it’s reappearance only for it to have a limited run so dealers can get limited allocations and Jack the mark up’s to nearly double the cost of the truck… I’m a huge Ford fan boy, but all the moves they are making with their performance products are purely disappointing.

      The average V6 Raptor driver can pretty much accomplish anything off road that the new V8 Raptor can do. Most the time you won't be comparing your V6 up against the V8 or a TRX So beyond the bragging rights of owning the V8, im not sure the justification to drop easily $130,000 + if not way more from dealerships, depending on which state you purchase one from seems a tad bit asinine. Let's not forget its existence was forced based purely on the birth of the TRX. Ford never wanted to go this route.
