This post delves into the surprising capabilities of modern high-performance trucks, echoing historical trends in automotive performance disclosure. His personal experience offers a compelling look at what these powerful machines can truly deliver.
The manufacturers website claims 4.5 seconds. CAR AND DRIVER tested it at 3.7 seconds. This reminds me of the old days when manufacturers did not give the actual horsepower of muscle cars (late 60's) for insurance reasons. Anyway, this truck is a rip to drive. The truck will be one year old on Friday. Thought you car guys might like to see this.
I test drove a red one, brought and made sure it fit in the garage. At the end of the day kept my navigator as I'm more of an suv guy than pickup. But that was as much fun to drive as anything!
Is yours one of the newer ones with twin turbo V6?
The weight, the tires, poor aerodynamics - all combatted by the supercharged American muscle! Gotta love it!
Love the special insanity that is the TRX
I'm a big fan. My first big American suv, went for it because of third kid π€£ (which sounds ridiculousπ) . Test drove all the big suv and liked it best. The escalade does ride slightly better with the magnet shocks, but vastly prefer the inside and the braking interestingly of the navigator.
I am definitely in love with this truck. π
