Maybe it’s 9k in Canadian lbs?

That’s like only 4082kg converted from 9000lbs. Maybe we are talking British dollars here lol

They won't have that leg up on the Gen3. I like the 2021 F150 interior better than Ram's.

I just looked it up.

holycow... I concur.

I’d like to see how a tuned gen 2 Raptor does against a TRX - I think it gets REAL close in terms of raw #s, but the 1000+ lbs lighter weight of the Raptor cannot be mitigated by the TRX, even by throwing more power at it....which TBH may not be that wise given the weight & the fact it cannot go into 2wd makes me think stuff will start to break if you push it much over stock. I do think they’ll handle a good amount of abuse in stock from though, this isn’t Dodge’s first rodeo putting huge HP into a normal vehicle & making it last the warranty period lol

True and I agree. Yeah look back at the Viper trucks. But those were 2WD on road street trucks. Something of a different game for them now. Time will certainly tell. When you put a lot of power against a lot of weight to move and things are banging around off road, well that’s a true test. I know they must have beat these trucks up on the test grounds. But over time an owner may do things they haven’t.

if they give me one, I'll teach them how to break it. I'm a professional.

Lol I think development is complete. They probably don’t want to see if any break to easily at this point.

Hold my beer and watch this.
