Umm.. 2016 was roughly 850 miles, it took them 36hours giving an average speed of 24 mph (probably did some repairs on the road, being a factory team, they probably had a good amount of resources not available to smaller teams)... they posted the slowest time of all finishers (slower than the Baja Bugs) and twice as long as the big boys (the unlimited trophy trucks).

@ladawg81 I think you are the only person in the world who thinks it's a play on TRD. It is TRX short for T-Rex which is bigger and badder than a raptor, which is why they named their truck that and why they have a raptor Easter egg on the truck as well.

@@IKATEN501 Since his dad passed away, Pagani Gaming a.k.a the guy who commented this idea first asked James from Instagram to ask if he can continue writing the comment. He didnt said about other people commenting and also he ia not commenting anymore probably because James aaked him to stop.
i cant live without donut media content for a week. ive been looking forward for donut media content everytime i wake up and start my morning. these videos are super enjoyable and i need them to pass over my boredom
Well done. As an owner of a Gen1 that off roads, I think this was much better than the original B2B on the Raptor. More important than the live valve, from Gen1 to 2 the shocks were upgraded from 2.5" to 3". Not as fancy, but way more important functionally.
Yeah, wanted to buy a Fox fork for my crosscountry mountain bike. 1500 to 2500 for a front suspension 100mm travel. Also that Kashima (bronze) coating requires more care than a woman requires moisturizing cream. If you scrape the Kashima your fork is forked. I'm wondering how much does suspension change cost on this car.
big difference between a ram rebel with a ton of horsepower on paper and a purpose built baja truck...its like saying a demon challenger is better than an Aventador SVJ because it has more power...
Carson N S it literally doesn’t exist yet, you only have seen a video and a spec sheet. Only a teenager with no license can judge a car without seeing it in real life...
@Keith Westfall What's actually funny is you're using a third-party company in a argument against a factory truck. BTW Hennessy also cost a shit ton, both of those 700+ Raptor builds are gonna run you well over $100k. Also John Hennessy isn't affiliated Ford, there's no way he isn't going get his hands on the TRX and do some crazy shit.
@Keith Westfall Also Ram has been working on the TRX for years, remember the 2016 fully built prototype? They didn't just slap a Hellcat on a lifted a Ram and call it a day.
The more videos I watch of Jeremiah, explaining different engine internals. The more it makes me realize, how ineffecient and complex they are. It's actually surprising that engine run and can go as many as 300,000+ miles.

The Raptor won't be killed by the TRX, I guarantee you that Ford will have an answer to the TRX, whether it's simply beefing up the 3.5 ecoboost in the Raptor to the GT's power level or more, dropping the GT500's engine in it, or dropping the Godzilla motor in it and bolting a supercharger to it!
@@raptor4799 Yeah I know, but with how Ford has been answering Dodge and Chevy between the horsepower wars in the mustang, and the towing and horsepower/ torque wars in the trucks there's no way Ford lets Dodge one up them in the desert kings game and let them have the power advantage!
