It has now taken on the new Frontier in TFL's latest towing test

The RPM's being at 6,000 vs under 3,000 was quite shocking to me- I wonder if that had anything to do with the Gearing in the Frontier.

Frontier isn’t turbo charged - so its torque is right up high in the rev band. Raptor makes BIG torque numbers from 3,000rpm due to twin turbo

Also the amount of gear hunting the frontier did was crazy. Raptor was happy to sit there in the one gear and putt along without pinging its balls off of the rev limiter

That was a good video. I agree the Ranger Raptor is one tough truck to beat.

The Ike is also at a pretty high elevation, so engines without turbos suffer a pretty big loss in horsepower.
