s. In this episode we will find out who is the fastest Super Truck of all. Stay tuned for the endurance series to begin. In the races we are going to compete with the normal Ford Raptor against the Raptor r, then the winner faces the Ram TRX and finally the winner of that race faces the Hummer EV. We are serious about melting the ice caps here and to do that we have the new Ford Raptor in 37 with a slight lift and wait for it, the new Ford Raptor R this is the first race, so why are we doing this?

What well defines a super truck three special things looks big, wide body with special off-road suspension and of course more power and I'm in the newcomer Ford Raptor R for 2023 and I have a big 5.2 liter V8 and they call it the predator. It has 700 high rpm horsepower, 6600 RPM Plus and 640 lbs. ft. of torque Now my standard F-150 Raptor makes 450 horsepower with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 and a 10-speed automatic transmission and I have a slight weight advantage compared to Andre's truck: it weighs almost 100 pounds less, so I'm just under 6000 pounds, there's about an 80 pound difference here, well this is just a warm up, this is the opening act, oh man it seems like it took forever to take off.

I don't think he jumped it, oh man he is. Getting away from me, foreigner, I mean, from the beginning, the displacement and supercharger of that V8 was thrown so hard that I didn't stand a chance, is

everyone

safe? Well, that V8 launches the Raptor hard, right? I jumped. to begin with or you fell asleep, well I guess it's just that this twin turbo V6 doesn't fire off the line like that V8. I don't have the displacement and the turbos take a second to kick in so it seemed like I took off in slow motion so here's my time 13 SEC 13.13 so 1313 at 108 miles per hour which is a spectacular time from a quarter mile.

However, I did 15.56 at 93 miles per hour, so not bad for a mile above sea level. but nothing like that V8 Raptor is the only Mod in your truck, it's sitting a little higher with its guys are Springs, so I mean, your truck is almost full of jams and this restaurant is all jammed and to be fair, The slight lift and larger tires on this truck definitely don't help its quarter mile time, but one way or another there's no escaping the horsepower difference between these two and for a little Break In Action We're going to have a referee battle because These are super trucks and sound is very important, right, foreign 3.5 liter turbocharged V6 and now the newcomer, the Raptor r 5.2 liter supercharged V8.

Now let's listen to the old 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 engine. Foreign electric horsepower sounds like hmm comment below to let us know which truck you think sounds better and now the events you've all been waiting for and that's the Ford Raptor R versus the ram TRX now this is the main event and I know TRX versus rapt R drag racing has been done, but there are still many variables at play. I'm on the ram TRX, another V8 supercharged truck and I have 702 horsepower from a big supercharged V8. This will be a much closer race, however, my truck weighs a little over 6,500 pounds, about 65.80, which is over 500 pounds heavier than Andre's truck, but the

raptor

r has bigger, heavier tires, 37 vs 35, the

raptor

r has a 410 rear axle which has a 355 which has an 8 speed automatic, this one has 10 speed and I have the traction control off. sport mode, four wheel drive, auto and I'm going to put it in launch mode, launch mode, also this drag race would not be possible without the help of many people.

I want to thank Justin and the Colorado Raptor racing organization. I want to thank. Thomas, I want to thank Corey for providing us with his trucks and of course the tfl team, so let's do this. I'm ready too. I'm in release mode and these are the rights we've been waiting for. You really don't know well. Hopefully a good sign for me on TRX's foreign launch, he's a little ahead of me, oh boy I think that was a good start, come on TRX, oh my god he's close but he's pulling away from me , good race, I want to see. his time I can't wait to hear your time 13.31 at 106.2 miles per hour.

I did 13.29 at 109. Yeah, let's do that buddy. I also want to give a little shout out to a video we made a while back of you driving the TRX. that belongs to Corey, we had it here on the hot summer day, it was about 95 or 100 degrees Fahrenheit and that truck went a quarter mile and 13.9 and here we are on the winter day and you saw the performance really increase the density of the air. makes a big difference Hi

everyone

, we have some really interesting vehicles. Vehicles on tflbids.com, including this 2022 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 with a ton of AEV upgrades.

This thing looks fantastic, one of my favorite vehicles from the 1990s era. We have a Pontiac Trans Am comp ta with manual transmission, these vehicles are quickly becoming super collectible, and lastly of course a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette , a Corvette C5, a vehicle we have a lot of experience with, except this is a six-speed manual transmission and a convertible, visit tflbitz.com to learn more about all of these great rides. Okay, so how does this work? We get to 30 and once we cross the starting line we just count three, two, one, yeah, exactly once we get to 30 miles per hour and we're nose to nose we'll count three, two, one and as soon as we're here, we both step on the pedal 30.

Okay, Ernie, one, oh man, there neck to neck, uh, but he's pulling away from me again, oh, that's close, I'll actually keep him next to him, buddy, There was like half a truck, maybe less, it was funny at one point you started to get ahead of me and I thought you were just going to walk away from me like you did. of a dig in that first drag race, but then I fell right behind you, that's good V8 power, huh, but what happens now? What does electricity have to say about this welcome to overtime? I'm throwing out a flag and telling you that having an electric vehicle competing against the raptor r, it's going to be a close race right now.

I'm in the Monstrous Hummer EV and it's Andre's Reckoning because this is a thousand horsepower EV truck, it tips the scales at over 9,000 pounds, but that thousand horsepower is going to do good things for me in this race, right, buddy mine, are you going to use WTF mode? Your ears must have been burning because right now my truck is going down and I'm putting watts into Freedom Foreign, you know? So we upgraded the Hummer to 37 inch high bfgs tires and have never looked at Freedom mode on 37, well we're about to find out what it does. My truck is assembled and ready to go.

The difference is so big between us. I could put a Toyota Camry in my bed and I'll still weigh less than you up, oh see you later Andre what a man this jumps so hard off the line but then maxes out that's all I can do but that It was enough to win. Andre, okay buddy, so my Raptor is pretty consistent. I got 13.25 at 110 miles per hour on our drag race, that's not bad. I got 12.36 at 106 miles per hour when this Hummer EV hits 106, where it's limited, slows down, I mean. it just tanks when it reaches that number, but even though the trap speed was higher, my time is almost second fastest.

There you have it sports fans, we have a definite winner and then we have this other electric trick that did its thing. Well, wow, you know what I learned today. I learned today that the Raptor R is a really super solid and really fast truck. Yeah, I mean, even with the Hummer winning in the end, the Raptor R was the star of this show because it powered the TRX into the corner. and obviously I kicked the normal Raptor. Now keep in mind that this is a big lift and the Hummer doesn't care how high or low it goes.

I'm thinking about this. I'm going to put the Raptor r on slicks, so Stay tuned, this will continue, you know, little tiny wheels, that's a good idea. I think it will be great for truck fans. Thank you very much for joining us, foreign guys.
