Sounds like he should've kept his Raptor...........maybe he can trade his TRX in for a 2023 Raptor R........if his TRX lasts that long!

video also hints at the hp being too much for the suspension to keep up with, and the weight of the truck slowing it down when compared to his old raptor, so so far ooks like the trx is really a nice street truck not baja truck

For everyone that is really begging for the Raptor R, this video shows that more development is needed when you plan on putting that much power for off road use. No one should be mad that Ford didn't release a V8 right away. If anything I hope they make sure it works well for its intended use and not just doing donuts and burn outs.

Usually I find Ben a bit cringy and click bait-ey but his discussion on the handling dynamics was actually pretty good. I think what Ram found is the limits of HP to suspension travel. If you're going to put trophy truck level power in a truck then give it the suspension to match because physics always wins. Add in some FCA reliability and you have yourself a future one hit wonder.
