Ok some one do a zero to 60 time

[cjmcb]

The TFL video was in Pahrump, Nevada which google says is it 822m or 2700ft elevation. It was also 42*C or 107*F. All of which contribute to the poor 0-60.

Whilst turbo engines will drop off less power than a NA engine at elevation, this was a hot day and turbos don’t like heat.

I’m sure if you did this again at sea level on a cold day, you’d get much better results.

Given it’s forced induction power should not drop from factory numbers at sea level much if at all. Benefit of the forced induction... don’t think sea level should make much difference

Completely not true that it won’t change much because it’s a turbo.

Interval numbers such as 35-75 etc are a much better comparison than 0-60 as these are what most of us feel day in day out. How many of us actually set up for a full launch from a stop light to do a 0-xx?! Not many.

Also, the rolling xx-xx puts a LOT less strain of transmissions and drive line parts.

I know a guy with a 900hp Audi RS6 who drag races and does a lot of standing start launches with it and he goes through a transmission every 2-3 months….expensive hobby.

My 2 cents that many will disagree with I’m sure:

I like fast as much as the next guy (or gal!) and I have a 2012 CTS-V coupe for that purpose. For me, the Raptor offered the perfect package of capability, performance, and as laughable as it is, fuel economy. When I was looking for a truck, I excluded the TRX because I had no need for 700+ hp in an overlander, and I just couldn’t get past the 10 (really 9) mpg in the city. Even with my tuned truck (Shelby Baja) I still get 12/15 consistently. I know it’s not a lot, but it’s a psychological line I couldn’t bring myself to cross. I’m not interested in the Raptor-R either. More power (literally!) to those of you who are.

Tl;dr: Raptor has the power to not feel like a heavy truck but not so much that it’s unruly or wasted. I just don’t need to go 0-60 in under 4 seconds off road.

I'm with you!

Keep in mind they are at 10,000 feet elevation.

The Gen2’s stock @ 10000 ft running 6.3 seconds

IMO My GooseTune E50 tune hauls on the top end big time and I am waiting to run into a TRX. I am sure out of the hole the TRX would get me due to launch control but top end I would walk right past it. I need to purchase a Dragy and get some numbers.

“Benefits Of Turbochargers at Elevation​

Turbocharging at elevation is an efficient way to minimize horsepower loss due to elevation and lower air density. At high elevations turbochargers compress more air into the engine cylinders making up for the lower air density allowing the engine to produce power as if it was at sea level. This extra tunability is found only in turbocharged applications.”

I’ll leave it to you to argue with one of the largest manufacturers of turbos in the world

Doubtful! TRX would not even need to use launch control! Especially hope you don’t run one that has lower pulley!

Traded a 2020 well equipped Raptor on a 2021 Jeep Rubicon 392 order. Took delivery of my 392 on Friday July 2 and sales manager sent my son and I out on test ride in Black 2021 TRX. My Raptor had MPT 93 PRX tune along with trans tune and ran very strong with smooth, quick shifts. Raptor was a very good truck! Everything about the TRX was better to my son and I. TRX steers and handles better, rides better, more comfortable, much nicer interior, exhaust sounds much better and as strong as my tuned Raptor was, TRX was stronger and I was not even in Sport mode. So impressed with TRX that I ordered a Black 2022 the next day! In no hurry to get TRX though since I also have another 2021 Rubicon 392 and just want to enjoy both Jeep’s with my son. Excited for TRX though and hope it doesn’t come until at least December. The Rubicon 392 is a beast! Sounds like a race car! Sounds much better than TRX. The Rubicon 392’s are the real deal stock. They are much stronger than my tuned Raptor was!

Theres a good reason big power and/or heavy vehicles roll race. I haven’t used launch control once in the TRX but have mashed on it and everything is still holding up. Agree interval times are more useful and if your barometer is fast street cars (9 or 10 second 1/4 as an example), it won’t feel “fast.”

It is really engaging though
