HOT! 2027 RAM TRX is Back as the Fastest and Most Powerful Production Gas Pickup Truck in the World

[DJ BrianBASS]

Well, you wrote "slower times" but meant "lower times". That's confusing enough, especially since "slower" would normally be speed related, not time.

Read the original post again. Slower is a higher time, which is what we don't want.

I have always known manufacturer posted times to be slower than actual which would be amazing!

"Slower is a higher time" you say. Okay, if we disregard that slow goes with speed, not time, it should at least be "longer time".

There's fast as in speed, and quick as in time. I'm easily confused as it is, but a (mild) word salad doesn't exactly help me understand.

You got it! Now let's see some better/quicker/faster times than these 4+ sec 0-60mph times

Just for you @Two

You got it! Now let's some better/quicker/faster speeds than the lame 118 mph.

Fixed it for you.

.2 difference in 1/4 mile, that’s driver error. They mentioned the used TRX had bigger tires too… to me the speed of the new and old are the same.

Haven’t watched the video yet, did they say what size tires? Assume 37’s but could be the metric 36 inch size a few members on here use. Regardless that does change the comparison. Like you said they are more than likely the same if using the same size tires.
Let’s not get hung up on the details, be thankful ram lowered the price gave hp to make up for weight and are actually building it period!!

As I've been saying all along, first Gen TRX all the way
A few easy mods and the OG would have taken the overpriced new one. Nothing that truck has impressed me to trade in.
Not to mention Andrey from TFL is the worst driver on YouTube. Whatever vehicle he has racing you can bet money the other will always win

Well then if “faster” is what everyone is looking at, since the SRT TRX is a tick faster than Gen 1s, then if you want a new truck, there should be no reason not to buy a ‘27… overpriced is in the eye of the prospective buyer… it’s less than FE ‘24s….

And all this whining about it not being faster than the R… with the R being aluminum, for an extended distance, yes it’s going to have quicker times…

But I have said it before, the TRX is quicker off the line and can drag an R around a parking lot at will… and the interior is miles better… and it’s a way better looking truck IMO…

I can’t wait for mine.

Here is a capture of the tire that the old TRX is on: Sailun Terramax RT in 37x12.50R18LT

Pretty nuts that the old one was neck and neck with the new one considering it was on 37's. Curious if the truck was modified. You would think that the first thing to go IF this truck was modified would be the airbox, but who knows, maybe theres a smaller pulley in there. Even then, it's still hard to believe that a smaller pulley+37's is still neck and neck with a 27 TRX

Why TF would they do this comparison with the older TRX on 37's? Might as well delete that shit and start over with a stock-to-stock comparison.

Upper pulley looks to be the stock clutched unit. No green belt or anything else obvious to suggest the lower has a sleeve or something either, but can’t know for sure based on what little we see underhood.

The blue one appears to be a level 1 with no sunroof, so a lighter truck than the 2027. And also likely well broken in at this point. Still, 37s slow these trucks down a bunch so it’s not exactly a great look for the 2027.

An actual fair comparison would be nice to see. Or at least some Dragy numbers from 2027 owners here. One would hope it can at least do 3.7-3.9 in good air like the original.

Exactly, I have no idea why these guys are so popular, they often get things wrong, are annoying, and boring.

This entire thread along with basically every other thread comparing the Gen 1 to New Gen is basically a bunch of grown ass men arguing that their dad is stronger than someone else’s dad.

Ha! Hopefully he can pass some of his skills onto the New TRX because it came into the fight overweight.

 

[BlueTRX]

The Direct Connection finally coming out explains why the new TRX is close to the other generation in overall specs and features. Makes sense, true proven hellcat platform and for those who want more power can get more.

They might still put out a limited run demon trucks and there we have it all.
Tuniskis definitely listened to our complaints with DC. Bummer would be if they make that only for RB/new TRX trucks. They should at least allow those with first gen with extended warranties to be covered with the new kits

Isn’t that what performance is all about?

I am bummed the new one isn’t materially faster. And is not comfortably faster than the Raptor R.
