#JeepWrangler #RamTRX #DragRace
Really enjoy these types of videos, you guys do a great job! Can’t afford either one but fun to dream about it!
Thanks for the kind comment. We really appreciate it!
Yeah the 304 wranglers were at least financially attainable to most people. Almost 80 grand is getting pretty close to having another mortgage payment. The 5.7 I think would have been fine for a jeep especially a 2 door wrangler.
How can you drag race with the roof open
I can afford one, id just rather buy a 25 year old car without all the unnecessary electric shit and the stupid shit that is mandatory now and put 80k into it
Lmao son wrong mindset
I gotta admit, I absolutely love my TRX. I won't ever own a different truck again. Mostly because I'll be in debt for the rest of my life but hey, I own a TRX. Lol
@@tsitrond lol. As long as I make my payments on time it's mine. 🤣😁
Thinking of one. How much is the payment?
@@kalsworld2347 that will probably depend on how much it ends up costing you. Sticker on mine was around $93K and then a $10K dealer markup and the rolling over my upside down from my trade I ended up paying $108K for mine. I put zero money down and walked away with almost $1600 a month payments. My TRX is as fully loaded as you can get though
@@josephmyers2851 nice. That’s a mortgage in itself. Waiting on the Raptor R to compare the two to see which one I want. Thanks for the info.
@@josephmyers2851 you will eventually regret it lol. But for now Yolo.
The race started at 7:57. And I enjoyed it😊
Thanks for saving me 7 minutes and 57 seconds of blah blah blah
"I have an orange engine block" as he taps the valve covers lol
That’s how you know these guys know nothing just off paper
😂💀
Lol these guys are 🤡
I can tell you all had AAAAAAAAAAAAAAALOT of fun making this video! Thank you for another great drag race!
A lot of people talk crap about FCA, but who else is making vehicles like these? The only reason Ford is putting a v8 in the Raptor is because they want to try and compete with the v8 in the TRX
@@jordangraf673 Amen brother!!! 👍👍👍
It's kind of insane that they both cost the same. The TRX is a lot more vehicle for the money.
AGREED 100 percent
1000 percent agree, but Jeep knows they'll get the money for the Wrangler. They already get $70k for Rubicons with lifts all day.
Jeep has more brand power and is marketable to a wider segment Pretty logical 😉👍
That’s also the base TRX. Add the options most people want and it’s hitting close to $100k.
And yet it's so hard to pass up the Jeep's main party trick of removable roof and doors.
LMAO! This has to be one of your best videos. Informative yet with plenty of humor. You guys have a dream job. Way to go!!!
I hate to say it, but I would take the Wrangler. I love my Jeep and I am on my 3rd. I have owned a few Ram trucks and I liked them, but it just isn’t a wrangler. Going to Jeep events and doing the riding trails just can’t be beat.
The truck is a better value but the keep with 35s or 37s on a 2 inch aev lift would be dynamite. Aka exactly the rubicon I drive but with a hemi
Thank god your still racing the trx I thought the series was over keep them coming I love this series
At this point I want to see the TRX vs either one of the new electric trucks or the Raptor R. Great vid!
@Riley Bodnar There were 4 1000whp Gen 2 Raptor's running around in TX2K. I would rather see those, despite sounding like garbage. But it's 700lbs lighter than the TRX with a better trans.
@Riley Bodnar Were talking same power levels lmao, 700lbs makes a huge difference. how is it hate if it's fact? The 2nd and 3rd Gen already destroys the TRX in approach/departure/breakover angles and wheel travel. Interior quality alone in the Raptor eclipses over that TRX. Infotainment is lackluster as reviewed by straight pipes. Sinister Scat raced the 3rd Gen and TRX and it was neck and neck, once Ford goes V8 its a full lockout. 90K truck but transmissions being destroyed in under 2K miles, towed out by a Raptor lmao. Plastics holding the battery and coolant reservoir behind the front bumper, after one jump it breaks. Plastic filled control arms, and front heavy, as seen by SS717, 3rd Gen jumps better.
@Riley Bodnar Also why is it that there's factory sealed unopened Coyote/10R80 F150's running 8's but no 392 doing that? Lmfao. They need built long block anything after 9's, pitiful.
@Riley Bodnar ....Says the Ram fanboi LOL
@Riley Bodnar And THAT is where we agree Virtual hand shake 👋🏽
There is so much to talk about on the 392 nobody is talking about how cool the new wheels are.
Those are ugly af
😂
Really enjoyed this review and comparison!!! You guys make it fun!
Everyone making electric cars ... Dodge be like "Hold my beer, do a line ... "Yeahhh lets put a hellcat motor in that""
I think it’s the right approach. I’d be tweaking driving these two.
“& in that” 2023 Dodge : Introducing Hellcat Caravan
I been waiting for this one for while now thank you so much!!
The best videos are the ones when you guys are having fun, it really translates well.
We just got our new TRX and our has the HUGE panoramic top. What a truck that thing is. WAY to much fun! Great video guys!
Just the fact that the Jeep is in the same hemisphere 0-60 (1/4 mile would be multiple car lengths on the jeep no doubt) and can do offroad like a proper Jeep is pretty damn amazing.
That is the by the best thing about the 392!‼️👍🏻
Yeah, it's the unique combo of the two that makes it's value so high. Extreme rock crawling capability (and ability to lift it and fit 37s or 38s fairly easily) combined with all that acceleration and torque.
Andre: Hey let's drag race these awesome V8 trucks! Roman: Oh yeah! Let me just roll up the roof to give you an advantage!
They aren't SMART enough to know that!
Good video guys as usual! Chrysler over here building cool stuff that people want!
Smiles per gallon....I like that
Get a Tesla. Zero gallons and smile harder. 🤤😅 I've been a dodge lover for many years. Sold the hellcat got a Model S. I'll never look back.
Said by bankers and fossil fuel industry.
@@gjohnston6052 how'd you know I work for a Bank?! 😅
@@KevinTrombley yes keep giving free promotion to the worst quality "luxury" brand in existence. I'd take a genesis over a tesla.
Smiles per mile!
That's nice can't afford either have my 19 jeep jlu and my 21 ram 1500 so I'm good-great video as always-yet wait until Hennessey get a hold of both of these monsters-you know it will happen 👀
You guys roll with the Hemis!
5.0 is better
@@angelgjr1999 I think you mean the 5L has a lighter chassis and a faster auto. Give the help the same chassis weight and same auto and watch how things change extremely quickly.
My father worked for Chrysler in the 70's, and always had Dodge vehicles. Now many years later... I've followed in his footsteps and very proud to continue in that tradition!
That was a great video guys !! love this channel !! 👍👍👍👍 all videos are awsome in this channel !
I’m really curious about a 60-0 mph stop between these two. Going fast is one thing, stopping is another
Mannn...that is a Super Beauty Wrangler....
I love this channel and the FCA Off-road, I mean TFL Off-road
Great race brilliant cars Thank you very much
The "premium" off-roading SUV segment is still one of the hottest and most lucrative in the industry. This is why even premium brands, Bentley, RR, Lamborghini, even Aston Martin, all have jumped on that wagon. It is not surprising to see Jeep, one of Stellantis' top power brands, set a premium price for a top off-roader with a performance engine. The demand and the market is clearly there, just as there's a market for a Raptor and a TRX... Yes it's expensive, yes it's likely going to be marked up (supply and demand), and yes, they will sell each one of them. The fact that it can keep up with the fastest truck on the market is pretty impressive, albeit nonsensical for a Jeep's true purpose
But just imagine the rooster tails you could make with that jeep.
I seen a TRX in person finally here in Franklin,Tn towing a box trailer I guess it’s business friendly and a nice tax write off. Atleast it’s being used as a truck.
Saw a few trx in southern Ontario. Even saw a Bronco sport yesterday too
@@craigquann seen three different colors of bronco sport in southern Alberta already but no full size bronco yet
@@DailyDoseOfCanada yea haven't seen one either. Of course I haven't gone to/past the dealership... (we have most of the #1 by sales, volume, trucks sold etc.) In my area (so they claim) but I imagine they will show up shortly... im not in the market. But I'm a off roader, so seeing new toys is always cool.
Saw one the other day. I’m in Mt Juliet!!
Loved it! Probably your best vid ever!
Racoon button..hahahaha..i love these vids..awesome job as always guys 👦
It’s hard to pick one. TRX is awesome and that V8 jeep looks beautiful.
I'll take one of each!
I'll sell you my trailer for $500,000 too lol
@@jldude84 absolutely, just make sure I get a receipt! 😁
What’s your email dude? I need money and I have a ton of things that I can sell.
I just want to see your driveway you park these in $$$$
You guys have the best job. Great show.
Had a CJ , TJ and a JK loved them all ……then got a 2020 Rebel level 2 and it is amazing but the n the TRX bug hit me at high speed and have a 2022 black pearl on order and here any day . Great video guys as usual
Saw the title, instant thumbs up. I hope we get both of these in Australia.
Except the government won’t let you leave the house to drive it, 🥺, sorry. Stay strong down under.
@@dang6832 Thanks brother, we have lost our minds down under. The media have become chearleaders for a police state, now most Australians seem to be on board with this insanity, at least in Victoria.
@@Christoph1888 unfortunately I’ve seen. I fear we are on our way in the states too. Stay classy and safe from the dictatorship.
By the numbers it should be interesting? The jeep will hit the limiter well before it finishes the 1/4.
I have seen your videos drag racing trucks and this is it am going to subscribe now. Like now! Since am a fan of trucks yeah sports car is fun to watch but truck is more useful a utilitarian thing that is why i love trucks and trx is awesome. Thank you man for sharing
I can’t get to the website, are the bids down?
Let’s make the historically most unstable vehicle on the road even faster! Great idea.
Worked for the G-Wagon ;)
@@MikeKayK merc actually made their vehicle stable with tech to control roll over. Stellantis Dongfeng FCA did not.
yea solid front axle = death wobble. its trash.
@@WewuzKangz85 Yes I know, I was just joking because the gwagon indeed also started out as an off-roader.
@@banana82728 A sorted solid axle vehicle won't have a death wobble, it's only when you have suspension or steering component issues like loose or improperly installed, misaligned or worn parts.
Either way, to see a Jeep pull that close to a TRX is pretty awesome to see.
Great vid again! Keep it up
Both cars are just brilliant. I really regret we dont have them available in Europe. So, we have only our Ranger Raptorm but we really enjoy driving it :)
This should be interesting!
Roman, lots of fun in the morning! Another great time
Fun stuff! Sunday a.m. with TFL, it’s all good. ☕️🙏☘️
Thanks for the SMILE mobiles. Fun drag race guys thanks for sharing TFL.
My brain can't comprehend $77k for a new Jeep. I remember when they were under $20k new. A v8 isn't worth $50k over a 4 cylinder.
Just wait until the Grand Wagoneer comes out and pushes north of $100k for a top trim spec.
By the time most people can afford a used 392, gas cars will be illegal.
I thought 30k for my 2010 JK was too high. My brain can't compute this. Why are V8 vehicles so expensive now? Camaros and Mustangs are no longer the poor mans hot rods either. :(
You’re forgetting inflation.
well first the Cheapest Wrangler is a 2 door at 28k and it's a sport with roll up windows. The V8 here your talking about is Loaded Rubicon with a V8 Your Brain just need 2 know what a Loaded Jeep is and what a Stripp down K-Mart Special Jeep is. Also this is 2021 not the 80's
Lets all be glad that we're living in the 'last hurrah' and we get vehicles like this!
You hit the nail on the head man 👍👍
This is probably the last hurrah for the big gas guzzling v8’s with new epa and cafe requirements coming from the new administration
So both are speed limited electronically or just by tires,?
Thanks guys
I wonder why Jeep JUST NOW decided to put a V8 into a Wrangler. After the Bronco dropped. 🤔
Because nothing truly competed with it until the Bronco. There was no need to put a V8 in a Wrangler.
What do you mean nothing could compete with the wrangler for years. Ford barely decided to bring out the bronco and the sport is crap all plastic and they just tried copying Jeep.
@@norbertoponce568 Try reading comments and replies and using the context of the text before you reply next time.
@@jimmymartin359 yes there was, Im in a maggie blown 4 runner if they had that in '17 Id got it instead of a toyota 4R lmao....pentastar V6 w blower wasnt gonna do it knowing damn well the OEM could buold it super easy.....Wrangler w a real truck engine is a no brainer. Jeeps been missing soooo many sales for so long its not even funny. Now they poke everyone in the eye as the Feds/hedge funds close in on V8/gassers to promote Lithium mines alllll owned by the same 6 star folks that run the banks and media, gonna fk this whole segment down w batteries soon
@@05EVORS huh? What's your argument ? 17 JEEP beats a 17 Yoda all day.
Who drag races with the top open?
Did you guys add a sound clip from a hellcat because my TRX does not have that much whine at all
Thanks for the fun!
For 77k I expected the interior to be alot better
The new Ram interiors are amazing.
77k! 😳 Does Jeep think they have a G-wagon now?
It's a hot brand and the premium 4x4 segment is a hot segment. Not surprised at all
Mercedes-Benz sucks. They are like those slutty hooker girlfriends back in college . They look nice and perform well but will suck your money when it comes to maintaining one. Vehicles like Nissan, Toyota, Jeep, Ford, GM, and Dodge are wife material. They break just like any car, but at least they won't rip you off like German brands.
The G wagon ain't worth the money either
Good luck finding a brand new G wagon under a $115k and this rubicon is $75k or less.
@@jamesruiz4005 How, give me reasons how and I will give you my reason how it is.
That was a great start. You didn’t jump at all. It was so good.
Need Jeep 392 vs Raptor
two 392 wrangler videos in one morning!! OH MY!!
🥒🤜🤜🤜🤜👏
I don’t know what TRX Andre is talking about for $77k. My customer placed an order for a TRX and didn’t even go nuts, and it was like $92k
My customer paid $125k after $10k markup and taxes. The msrp was around $98k. Not even close to $77k what tfl is thinking
Base is 70k. Look on the website.
@@gasolinediesel972 go ahead and try to buy it
@@NorthWestAutos Base msrp is 70k. You can't argue with that because it's a fact.
HEY GUYS CAN YOU PLEEEEEASE PLEEEASE SHOW HOW YOU FOLD DOWN THE WINDSHIELD I KNOW IT'S NOT AS EASY IN THE OL CJ DAYS...THANKS!
I’m a Ford guy, but you’ve got to say how cool a Hellcat truck and Scatpack Jeep are... they are awesome if you ignore the price tags and ridiculous speed limiters. I’m betting tons of fun too !
I enjoyed Romans antics today And Andre 👌🏼 as always
If only i had 70K, would definitely go TRX
Jeep are the most overpriced vehicles on the market in my opinion. That trx is worth every cent of 70k, not a jeep idc whats in it.
Trx is over 100.000
But you have driven both have you? The wrangler is crazy scary
@@bigmarcnaturalstrongman508 my dealership has sold many for under 80k
@@bobbyedstrom5688 I've detailed and been around jeeps, don't get me wrong, they are nice BUT I can't justify spending that much on something even with a warrenty to go thrash it offroad and expect to not spend a fortune to get it fixed. Give me a 500dollar beater with a heater and I'd have way more fun building and fixing it than any overpriced jeep on the market now.
I love those older jeeps from early 2000s with the 5.9 4.0 4.7 all good v8 and inline 6 wish they could put those back in it. And it was 100k its was 14k new to 30k
Just love watching your vids.
God bless SRT 🇺🇸
i want a 392 v 4xe drag race. where's the 4xe coverage you guys keep promising?
Teraflex raced the 4xe against the 392 and it got smoked
6 second 0-60 in the 4xe and 5.48 in the 392. probably feels SO fast in a wrangler.
Great video guys!!! I'm sure you had a lot of fun...
Talk about the best job ever. You both have permagrin!! 😂
I want to see the 4xE vs the 392 that will be interesting same torque.
And you can get the 4Xe for $20k less than the 392.
The 4Xe is not only cheaper, you get much better mileage, a federal tax credit, state incentives such as HOV and because of electric torque may feel quicker around town.
@@arnenystrom4283 …but V8 sounds🥺. Lol…Seriously, the V8s are a dying breed. I’d rather have one now, because EVERYONE will have and electric/better mileage/silent/self-driving car in the future.
Terraflex raced the 4xe against the 392 and it got smoked
Wow!! That last race was close!!
Lol great video, I stopped the tractor to watch this video!! 🤣
I hold my personal speed record of 118 in a 98 integra ls with 140 HP if that says anything
With the TRX you can throw SO much more in the back and tow way more, so that's better in my book
Ya but you can't remove the roof and doors. Idk... Hard to choose.
@@kaoticmind09 u can get a sunroof on trx
Roman! Where did you get your sunglasses? Thanks!
Can the jeep be put in 2wd or is full time 4wd like the ram?
I wish Jeep would make a more affordable V8 Wrangler. I’d definitely go for something like a sport s with even a 5.7 Hemi.
They’d sell 10x more 5.7 wranglers
@@brokenwrench404 They should also make a 5.7 Gladiator while they’re at it lol.
Sadly they will be electric by the time I would be having enough money to buy any of them.😩😩
If you can get the 392 into the mid 500s for both hp/torque, that'd be a nice option for that TRX body.
I’m stoked you guys ha be both.
It is kind of amazing how fast Chrysler can make something move that weighs as much as a fifth wheel camper and has the literal aero dynamics of a brick.
You mean the aerodynamics of a brick wall.
The Raccoon Button.!!!😆😆😄😃😎😀 Right on Roman!! Laughed n spilled my coffee ☕😆😃😄😆Enjoy the day!!
they make the I camand you connect to car and opens up your true power, so put in either 1
Awesome as always!!!!
I hear people asking....No 392 Gladiator? I'd say give it time. Like a year or so. I'm sure its on the discussion table. Also it might compete with thier high end ram sales. Either way, I'm sure they will make one eventually. Great video guys! Always enjoy your vehicle comparisons. Very informative, and entertaining.
😭😭😭 damn that V8 sounds great
Which one
There is no question, I'd buy the Ram TRX over the Wrangler. I think you'd have to be insane to buy the Wrangler over the TRX.
Agreed, can't have Wranglers blowing by me, going to need the Trx.
Both are fiat trash so enjoy it while it lasts...
I’ve never had a jeep but I’ve already got two pickup trucks. I don’t need another. But a jeep, especially with a v8 just like I like? With the ability to take off the roof and cruise on sunny days? Hell yea. I’d buy the jeep over the trx any day for that reason. Of course I’m lucky and money isn’t really an object either so that might effect it some.
Having owned multiple 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks to now owning a Wrangler and a Gladiator I would take the Wrangler 392 over the TRX all day. Neither of these are highly practical vehicles- they’re for fun, and for fun you cannot beat the open air experience of a Wrangler. Throw a V8 into the mix and the fun factor of this Wrangler will be off the charts. Not to mention having seen a TRX in person- it is absolutely massive. Now if Jeep will only give me a V8in a Gladiator...
So how long before the Wrangler mojave 392?
oh my. you guys are seriously making me want the 392 jeep. guess i dont have to watch that super cool 392. thinking people may get envy or jealous of me if i got the 392 jeep
2:51 weeeeee
Without any questions I will buy TRX
DAMN RIGHT !! TREX
Until ur at the gas pump or the dealership all the time😂
@@danielfish101 total cringe BUT THATS FUNNY😑
This was a fun one. You guys are just having too much fun.
Andre didn't jump at all lol. I replayed the launch in slow motion, multiple times, like a crime scene investigator lol Andre was asleep at the wheel, on the second launch lol
Why is it too much to ask to have that 392 in a regular ram rebel !?🙄
Buy more credits from Tesla 😒
As a jeep owner, while they are the best vehicles, I can indeed confirm that they are not made to drag race.
They definitely aren’t. I have a couple of time slips in the glovebox of my two door JL with a 6m. Neither time was great, but I ran out of time at the test and tune. It sure did make people smile though when they saw it line up!
you guys are great i loved this video i have to say though i am a jeep man . what a video !!
11:18 Ahh Stellantis. Makes you think Fiat Chrysler wasn't that bad. Makes you miss the good old day when you are passing the Ram assembly plant in Warren many times a week and looking at the iconic Chrysler Pentastar (5-pointed star) logo. A time when you are proud living in the Motorcity.
