Message: <blockquote data-quote="Badgertits" data-source="post: 1608818" data-attributes="member: 31322">you CAN mod the TRX for even more power.....course....it’s still a Ram, I have a sneaking suspicion while it may be fairly easy to eek more power out of it, you’ll wind up grenading Everything else attached to it- tranny/TC/diffs/axles/bearings etc. the truck weighs almost 7k lbs, probably more than that for a fully loaded up one (plus...for some reason dodges #s are typically BS when it comes to true weights & MPGs) There’s a reason the TRX can’t be equipped w/ true 4wd/2wd as an option, & it sure as SH*T isn’t because the driveshaft/TC/Tranny is “super strong”.....a gen 2 raptor w/ only a tune will be right behind a stock TRX, & feel more nimble, handle better, stop better etc on the street. Offroad apparently a stock gen2 is already more capable still than a TRX regardless of the power delta- looks like the TRX “outruns its suspension” nearly immediately in real world offroad use just in stock trim. And keep in mind....that’s w/ the gen2 on rear leafs vs. the new coil over setup. The base gen 3 will probably eviscerate a TRX offroad given all that.If that’s where it stands now w/ a gen2 vs TRX, I have NO DOUBT a slightly stronger gen3 “base” raptor will be nipping @ the heels of a stock TRX if not right w/ it & a tuned one very well could surpass it. If they give it the same turbos as the GT (very possibly- or just some slighter bigger units in general) + higher compression & keeps that forged crank, it may be a real gem of a drivetrain. For real world usepersonally I have no inclination or use for a Raptor-R w/ a blown V8 unless they equip it w/ ******** 4” fox shocks or adjustables etc b/c all that extra power will be useless as **** on a bull offroad Tuned gen2s run 12.6-13 flat in the 1/4, 4.2-4.7 0-60, and are already faster in real offroad use both stock & tuned than a TRXI’m sure the gen3 base is gonna be a real sweet spot in terms of true off-road capabilities + fun/fast driving on street while getting better mileage & having fewer problems.but hey....TRX got a hemi, & it sounds good, so there’s that.</blockquote>
