Anyone consider/test drive a TRX, Gen 2 vs. Gen 3 Raptor, and Raptor R?

And henessey did a run with it making 50 lbft tq less. Happy dyno?

Henessey.... lol

Does stock TRX have 33 gal tank?

Yup. And after about 300 miles you’re looking for a gas station.

It doesn’t matter if it was a happy dyno or not. Side by side with a low milage gen2 shows a power increase.

And a company known for honesty and integrity would never, ever, lowball the "before" numbers so that they could show a greater improvement, right?

Goosetuned (responsible for the gen2 vs gen3 dyno) would actually benefit with lower numbers on the gen3: he's going to have a harder time showing torque/hp gains with his product if the tune from the factory on the gen3s is hotter than the gen2. So no, I don't think he would pad the numbers on the gen3. Seemed like a pretty fair apples to apples comparison and for some reason the gen3 trounced the gen2.

I think his comment was in reference to Henessey doing some sketchy **** and padding the numbers. Goose tuned seems very honest, as like you said, stands to benefit nothing from higher HP out of the box. Harder to sell something that *may* void your warranty when its already hotter out of the box than the gen2

You’re being way too generous and optimistic with 300 miles

Gotta love that Italian styling.

The PowerWagon 6.4 and TRX 6.2 both felt like great engines when I test drove them. I just didn't care for driving either and bought another first gen Raptor. Admittedly, I am a peculiar buyer. I went to check out a 2018 Shelby Raptor. Loved everything until that engine started. Instant 180.

I had a Gen 2. Market went shooting up sold my Gen 2 but couldn’t order a Gen 3 yet. So traded it for a TRX after driving it for 6 months and getting 9 MPG I have decided to trade it for a Gen 3, the TRX is great if you are fine getting 9 MPG the only other downfall I would say compared to the ford their interior temperature buttons etc feel cheap.
