We Drag Race a new Jeep Wrangler 392 vs Ram TRX - It's Closer Than You Think!

[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] behind me is a brand new ram 1500 and a brand new jeep wrangler and surprisingly they both cost about 77 000 so if you had or if you have 77 000 which would you buy this or that roman this is not just any ram 1500 this is the trx the super truck that's why it costs 77 000 bucks or at least this one does and under the hood of course is a fire breathing hellcat v8 supercharged engine with 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque oh yeah [Music] oh hell yeah andre this ain't no ordinary jeep this is the first well wrangler-ish jeep with a v8 under the hood it's the new 392 puts out 470 horsepower and 470 foot of torque dude this engine is also a hemi guys i interrupt this video to let you know about this week's tfl bids bargain we have some amazing trucks and suvs available for sale at tflbids.com for example this week we have a 2010 ford f-150 svt raptor the original raptor with a v8 it's a short wheelbase it's in the original molten orange

right there at tfl bids roman 470 horsepower it's so like yesterday my supercharger is actually 2.4 liters almost of displacement just by itself and i have an orange engine block and you should just listen to this engine it's amazing [Applause] andre it's cute that you've got a little 6.2 liter but i've got a 6.4 liter and you got to listen to this thing oh that doesn't sound good no no no andre i tricked you hold on i've got a secret butt what the heck is that yeah it's my raccoon button what all right now jeep doesn't call it a raccoon button i call it a raccoon button because it's got two little raccoon eyes but basically what it does is it opens up the baffles and allows that big 6.4 liter to breathe and uh yeah make a glorious sound all right roman yes the 6.4 liter hemi does sound pretty good but you know what you can only haul about 850 pounds of payload what is that you can bring tommy with you and that's it this truck can haul about 1300 pounds and tow about 8 100 pounds the jeep tow's only 3 500. no ah towing schmowing andre as you know the wrangler is a full on convertible and this one is even better it's got a one touch power roof let me show you let's see you do that andre a convertible the same price as a hard top roman who needs an open top when you can have active suspension with up to 13 inches of wheel travel and bilstein blackhawk e2 shocks that react to a variety of conditions and also you can have this a 35 inch tall tire not this baby tire you have on this jeep what is this like a 30. andre if you want to talk off-road worthiness i'll have that conversation all day long first and foremost i've got an almost three inch lift from the factory plus check it out fox shocks i can slap 35s on this jeep this afternoon and speaking of off-road worthiness where is your lockable front diff where is your disconnectable sway bar where are they andre all right roman so yes the jeep is a bit of a rock crawler let's see uh but how can i fit here in the back well my knees are touching yeah the open top is nice but let me show you my truck [Music] i remember this is where you want to be when you're racing across baja at 95 miles an hour you could stretch out lean back and enjoy the ride andre you know what they call people in the back seat passengers yeah and who wants to be a passenger the jeep unlike that ram also has a couple other party tricks first of all you can remove the doors and if you want you can even fold down the windshield so when you are racing across baja and by the way believe it or not this is a great baja racer they've made the rear suspension 20 softer making it much more compliant so when you are racing across baja you've got that wind in your hair and that smile on your face speaking of baja what's your top speed on the jeep uh yeah it's 99 it's uh yeah it's tire limited andre 99 miles per hour yeah okay ouch uh the truck is capable of 118 miles per hour so how are we going to settle this what's better uh you know the tfl way let's drag race hey roman do you have a launch control on your jeep i don't andre no launch control oh that's a shame i also don't have a brake controller i also don't have a huge screen i also have get this andre i also have this is how you know how you can tell the 392 apart what do you have a regular wrangler you have gold uh lettering no i have paddle shifters no way yeah it's the only wearing with panel shifters dude like you okay look at that yeah only wrangler with paddle shifters i guess you could use them off-road why not oh v8 goodness we won't talk about fuel economy on this drag race or actually period because it's not good it's about smiles per gallon here not miles per gallon all right let's do this by the numbers this should be very interesting this v8 power jeep is actually quite heavy according to the sticker it weighs about 5250 pounds of course the truck is way heavier it weighs about 6 500 pounds but it has 232 more horsepower and better power to weight ratio and they're both four wheel drive auto or all-wheel drive i think you jumped it a little bit a magnificent sound andre did they jump a little bit oh you jumped it or i slept through it let's do one more okay one more [Music] as always we're right here at imi motorsports our test track you can check them out using the link below and also bring your trucks or jeeps over here or use their motocross park with your dirt bike look andre you can't do that look who's gonna be drag racing wranglers [Music] actually with this engine under the hood i bet you they'll be some guys and gals will drag race them why not why wouldn't you i mean you know the crazy thing about this is uh by the way let's see what the 060 time was i forgot or maybe i didn't have it didn't it didn't register so we gotta do it again jeep says it's 4.5 seconds and the cool thing about this jeep is like i was driving around this weekend a guy like a two-year-old audi uh s five pulled up next to me and uh you know i just took off and he's like what the hell is that when that v8 came flying by and he was like uh it was hilarious and that's really the magic of this isn't it it's the fact that you've got a jeep that'll do 0-60 under 5 seconds and you know blow away many sports cars that will be certainly awed by the power of this thing you know what this time i may give roman a little bit of a head start maybe uh half a second [Music] all right 5.48 0 to 60. let me show you 5.48 so take a second of off that at sea level and you're at four and a half and this truck is at four and a half over here all day long it's about a second quicker yeah yeah and you know the quarter mile oh this will top out at 99. so i gave you a little bit of a jump yeah and then i tried to come on that's cool yeah all right that was fun andre that was a lot of fun well there you have it the trx is quicker and faster but off-road this one is definitely better at least when you're doing rock crawling baja running that's a different story oh that was glorious thank you stellantes and jeep and ram for building these v8 monsters all right andre it's your money seventy seven thousand which would you buy what's easy for me cause i have a trailer truck all the way dude trx no there's a better answer you know we live in this weird youtube world when all these youtubers are buying like lamborghinis and mclarens and veyrons hell yeah so so for less than any of those you can get them both okay that's fair all right let us know which of the two you would get as always this is roman and andre saying thanks for watching and check out tfltruck.com and i think andre this is it could be our last like trx drag race i think we've taken it one step too far well it is a quick truck it is it is a quick trick see you guys next time ciao
