Wait...., what? New TRX now a 6cyl!

And surprise the transmission they put in it is a weaker one. So tuning etc is going to be sketchy.

Welp, the Ram guys had a good run trolling the Raptor forum.

Looks to be that way. Twin turbo Inline-6. Same engine they are putting in the Jeep Grand Wagoneer (albiet I'm sure with some extra ooomph). The current drivetrain in the TRX took a lot of parasitic loss to run. I think the trucks were only putting down mid-500ish hp to the wheels. The new motor trans combo in 2025 will probably match those numbers and also do better than the current 6mpg.

What a time to be alive! lol

I put nearly 70,000 miles on my TRX and it averaged 13mpg lifetime. My 37PP isn't doing much better.

Ecoboost only gets you better mileage if you keep your foot out of it. Because physics.

Didn't think it was possible for there to be a weaker trans than what was already in it

It's not my first. I've owned 3 raptors and 2 TRX's. I was just making a point on the 6MPG comment.

Maybe not sooooo accurate for the ecoboost, but

Wow! That’s news to me.

TFL is painful to watch. Don’t like these guys anymore.

That is because they don't actually know that much about vehicles, beyond the basics.

But some how they have created a YouTube empire so to speak. Years ago( 5 or more) They did a video that did not make the Ford (F150 I believe) look real well. Ford got pissed, band them from product launches and and other stuff.

They posted a video how the big bad business was crapping on them.

Worked in their favor, few years go by and boom all is forgiven, they were invited to the F150 lighting and F150 Raptor R product launches. Because they had built a "brand".

Actually if you can stomach some retar-ded-ness their trip with a lighting to Prudhoe Bay was actually pretty good

You can Eco or you can Boost. You can't have both at the same time.

I can, if I care, get almost 19mpg out of my Raptor but geeze that is boring AF. I can only stay in the slow lane for a few hundred yards at a time.

Having a 7.3 PSD that gets about 12mpg at 75 mph for 20 years makes it so I am numb to MPG.

I put 13k miles on my Raptor in the last 13 months. (First year of ownership). Approximately 9k of that off road. I spent $5000 on fuel last year and do not regret it at all. Hate Biden more every fill up, but that is a different issue.

PS: I normally don't DD my Raptor so that fuel expense is what I consider entertainment.
