Here's SavageGeese's video with a bit more info.

Love these guys and they went straight to Tony to get the scoop.
Ill tell ya, the R is going to be unobtanium but its pretty easy to see that the dodge engineers didn't do a fraction of the r/d that ford did. Dont get me wrong the trx is a nice truck no doubt. But it is vacant of the hardened dna that spans over a decade and 3generations of platform.

Now with an enhanced supercharged V8 to augment more photosynthesis enhancing Co2 into the environment for a more green future!

I should be in marketing

Looks great and really happy Ford released the R.

Personally I’d get the GT500 if I wanted to lay down that much cash and hp. It will be easy $150-$200k CAD up here.

I’m happy with my gen 2 and will probably never exploit its potential.

I will say in terms of competition, Ford did a better job in terms of media. That TRX release was so cringy - the amount of times the presenter emphatically said TRX with those annoying hand gestures.

Now let’s see it run with a TRX. On road and off road. Now we can do an Apples to Apples comparison. I want to see how the TRX hangs with direct competitio.

Was looking for at least 750 HP.

I'm surprised that they didn't come in higher. I was expecting a reduction from the GT 500, but not this much. Most likely, component durability.
