Old-school truck versus extremely new-school truck — which were you betting on? Give us your verdict below.
-
Dammm ...The R1T even had its cover open ( more drag), and it still dusted that RAM to the Stone Age.
-
Heck yeah. R1T is a beast
-
TRX is a legit truck but EV power is hard to beat. Nice matchup guys!
-
Rivian is very capable pickup... It's built for next gen
-
WOW...! The 0-60mph time for the R1T was mind-blowing - to only lose about 0.3 seconds on salt vs asphalt is frankly insane...!! 🤪
-
Getting to see drag races in the dirt is unique and very fun to watch! I agree with other people that getting to see them race over some slightly more bumpy terrain (like what you recently did with the Bronco and wrangler) would be really interesting to see.
-
Can we get a dirt u drags?
-
I was deciding between a Raptor 37 (including an R) and a TRX. My neighbor bought a Plaid and gave me a ride in it. OMG. I promptly put my deposit down for an R1T.
-
Your EV overlord is here :)
-
Wow, literally in the dust!
-
it would be interesting to compare the three trucks in a baja style course race
-
At what point will Edmunds stop doing the EV vs. ICE vehicle drag race? The results are almost always obvious (and when they're not, it's generally because of an EV manufacturer decision to limit acceleration beyond a certain point--I'm looking at you, Ford!). Instant torque wins drag races.
-
Rivian such a beast of truck. Same price as a high-end lighting too! Such a good deal!
-
Just really surprised at how it doesn't run out of legs
-
Not surprised about the Rivian. Had me sold on it since day one. But I gotta give that TRX credit where it's due. It's still a pretty impressive monster for a heavy truck. I'd love to see how both the Rivian and the TRX preforms vs. the Raptor R
-
The electrics have arrived.
-
Man it’s why 2 of my cars are EV’s - can you imagine what they will be like in 10 more years?
-
I’d take a slow trx over a iPad any day!
-
Now try racing over open land. A salt flat isn't that much different than pavement.
