You haven’t heard sh$t. No one has and if you’re using MT as your source we’ve already discussed how they get their knee pads out for bow ties only.... and even with less power a raptor r will smoke the TRX. Hell current raptor essentially does when on dirt.

So much envy dripping from your words!

What are you basing that statement on? Literally every single former Gen 2 owner who has switched to TRX says that TRX rides and performs better on- AND off-road.

After reading this thread, I'm craving Arby's for lunch with the curly fries. Unfortunately, I washed my truck this morning and now it's raining, so I don't want to leave the garage.

These first world problems can be overwhelming.
I thought I was the only OCD freak who would refuse to run an errand in a clean garaged vehicle when it’s raining. Glad to see I’m not alone.

Lol, that is just people trying to justify their extremely expensive poor decision.

I work for a small tech company. We all work remotely, we had a company meeting and it was more convenient for me to drive than fly. One of my coworkers is in the front passenger seat and he's tapping on the window pointing at something asking what it is. I informed him that if he touched the glass again, I'd shoot him and leave him on the side of the road.

No one else touched the glass on that trip. :biggun:

I’m curious to see, whether a Gen 3 non R truck or a TRX rules the playground. Both suspensions will be of the latest factory design, but will power some how help? Or will the weight of it be a detriment. In a wide open run or maybe a closed course it can be of real use(extra power). Will be exciting to see.

Gen 3 will be slightly better offroad, I think. Suspension is better and truck is lighter.

In the hands of a VERY capable driver, the TRX's power might give an edge on a closed course.

But for 99% of offroading use, I see the Gen 3 marginally better than TRX, though probably not to a point that is noticeable to most.

I thought the TRX was undersprung for the serious stuff. Not true?
