Whether you fall on the TRX or Escalade-V side, these are two amazing feats of engineering. The fact that vehicles of that size and girth can launch like this is nothing short of incredible. 🇺🇸🦅

I all I hear is pure American Glory! Hearing these V8 monsters at the same time is truly a treat. The squat on that Caddy is insane! LOL! I also think thr ESV should've been raced to level the playing field against the TRX(closer weight and length), but not that it matter much here. I can tell the TRX was not raced in Baja mode. That allows the truck to start in first gear and really cracks the shifts. It is also still remarkable what Ram accomplished on that truck with A/T 35s and its considerable weight.

The squat on the Escalade is hilarious 😅

It was very much expected for the TRX to win. But, the guy in the Caddys was late on the gas, essentially when he did a countdown on the roll. As far as pricing go, your paying for luxury, a vehicle that looks and sounds better, along with it not being overrated. Though, I'd pick the Escalade V at a cheaper price by finding one that's wrecked not too bad with low mileage (obviously), but buying one brand new wouldn't be for me. All together, the TRX wins in performance, but grabbing some attention by women and driving in luxury along with a crazy good sound system from factory, Escalade V takes it all damn day.

@yamahaguy1732

Well another thing to mention is he said they were running the Escalade in sport mode which is not as aggressive as V mode. The TRX would probably still win because it weighs less and still makes more power but I think it would be closer.

That caddy is unreal 😲 something stock can finally keep up and look good

Great video 👍👍. I have to agree. My Cadillac Escalade absolutely flies, but off the line it has that split second hesitation. I plugged in an AFM delete to see if that would help. It was night and day. Instead of waiting until the computer switches it into all 8 cylinders, it always runs in 8 cylinders with the AFM delete. People say that you get worse mileage, but I didn’t buy a Prius. Great video. Thanks.

Ram TRX FOR THE WIN. love both these vehicles. Caddy looks like it wants to pop a wheely the whole way down

The video description clearly says the TRX is heavier. 2023 Cadillac Escalade V: -Supercharged 6.2L V8 rated at 682 hp and 653 lb.-ft. of torque -10-speed Transmission -6,217 lbs 2022 RAM TRX: -Supercharged 6.2L V8 rated at 702-hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque -8-speed Transmission -6,439 lbs

100% correct. The 35 inch tires, much wider and reinforced steel frame/chassis, and heavy skid plate add considerable weight to the TRX. So many people are assuming the Escalade is heavier.

Earned a sub. Been researching both vehicles extensively and learned something today. Thanks for doing this awesome vid!

The caddys front lifts so much 😄

Interesting mashup.

Escalade V prob the most exciting SUV in a decade

Buy 4th Gen Escalade or Yukon or Tahoe with 6.2 L86 for have the money of EscaladeV. Put STG1 high lift camshaft with all the supporting mods, put forged internals with lower compression ratio (stock is 11.5, put around 9), put a supercharger on it, tune and that's all. You have a faster SUV for less money and with solved factory problems.

I’d still choose the caddy for the luxury and it still moves good for the size definitely would be getting the kids to school on time

Agreed, considering the TRX is 6,439 lbs and the Escalade is slightly lighter at 6,217 lbs. And the HP difference is also slight at 702 HP for the TRX and 682 HP for the Escalade.

The V is just too cool...

I prefer Cadillac Escalade a thousand times, Ram trx does not offer infotainment screens, front cameras to be seen on the dashboard, double air conditioning outlets with courtesy light, it does not offer many passengers to be comfortable and a good trunk, it does not bring wi-fi , good agency sound with 36 speakers that brings speakers up to the headrests and ceiling, reclining passenger seats. // For the Ram trx to compare to an Escalade it is missing a lot. It is useless for Ram to be powerful if it will not offer all those amenities like that for which I want it.
