the center of gravity looks substantially higher on the TRX. no wonder it is so nose-heavy.

Will be interesting enough, but they are again comparing a 5 year old outgoing generation to a new ‘21 TRX. They should be ready to place an order for a Gen 3 Raptor.

Just saying. Again shows how good the Gen 2 is and was all this time.

Agreed that that would be a much better comparison, but it isn't a comparison anybody can actually make right now....and they surely want/need to the clicks now. I have little down that they will get their hands on a Gen 3 as soon as possible (even driving to Detroit to pick it up) and do another round of all the same videos.

I'm sure come Feb 3rd, they will be doing a full breakdown (as much as possible) comparing TRX, Gen 2, and Gen 3...telling us all the things we could already clearly see.

Kind of makes the Raptor look small...
I never thought I'd say that. The Raptor is pretty damn wide!

I wonder if that dustgrabber interferes with driver visibility, being that the truck is already taller? Guess you could turn on the camera.

At least part of that impression is the camera angle. It's not a straight on shot, the camera is more on the Raptor/left side, giving the impression of more width to the TRX. The camera is close enough to the center line though that you brain doesn't naturally register the 'distortion'.

Also, the TRX is parked over the line slightly, so that point of reference also makes it look wider.


This is why every woman takes selfies from an upper angle...

All the fun of a Raptor Forum and a Science/Math lesson!

We will all know if the TRX is an all time classic like the Raptor, if and when there is some feature of the TRX that owners of every other brand of truck that wish they had a raptor begins copying like the 3 marker lights on the grill. There are many more trucks on the road that aren't raptors that have the after market markers
