Not always. The Rivian will kick its a$$ and it doesn’t even have a gas tank. :).

Maybe, but how far?:B

So it looks like the Raptor R puts the smack down on the TRX.

0-60 times (seconds)

TRX: 4.11 (MOPAR)
Raptor R: 3.9 (Ford Performance)

TRX Put on Notice!

And the wins continue! :C

I was able to check one out on Friday (must have been why it was released). An engineer had one for the weekend. Unfortunately, since I was supposed to be counting cash for the county fair, I did not have much time to check it out. He had it for the weekend to log miles.

Does Mopar know that Dodge CEO announced that the Hellcat engine will be ending production in 2023?

Yes, but there are other options coming out. Like a 500HP twin turbo straight 6. And this is the standard output engine!

My money is on the Shelby GT 500 Predator V8 engine over any I6 engine.

Of course it is!

Seems like more fun compared to the same motor in the Shelby Mustang.

The RAM TRX has just been put on notice. With good power to weight ratio the Raptor R is estimated 0-60 in 4 sec and will possibly be the last Super Truck (ICE) to roam the streets and off roads. If it wasn't for the TRX this truck would have never existed.

I think it's safe to say anybody dropped over $100k on a truck doesn't need to care about fuel economy.

I think it's a cool truck just like I think the TRX is a cool truck. Neither is something I'd ever consider personally buying, though.

Less HP than TRX.
Less TQ than TRX.

$30,000 more than a TRX.


Nope.....
