Has anyone done the 0-60-0 test?
No 0-60-0 test for me, but I was fortunate enough to get to do a 0-130-0 run in Normal last Summer, and that happened with the All-Terrain tires and three adults and plenty of camera gear as ballast. There was no clock involved, but I can say it was accomplished within 6/10th's of a mile (Google Earth confirms our trip at just less than 3,200 feet), even after hanging at 130 for an extra little bit to confirm that David, our cameraman, had captured the readout on the dashboard for posterity. On top of that, I didn't mash the brakes completely to the floor to bring it to a the shortest possible stop.

Although the adrenaline was flowing, it really seemed like 60 was there in three seconds, with 80 at about four. While we started from a dead stop a bit earlier in the curve at the head of the staightaway, we also slowed fully and turned off the track calmly before reaching the end of that straightaway.

Edmunds did 0-60 and 60-0 tests and outperformed the TRX in braking pretty significantly: WORLD EXCLUSIVE: We Tested the 2022 Rivian R1T and It's the Quickest and Best-Handling Truck Ever | Edmunds

As has been stated elsewhere in this forum, splitting hairs between 3.2 and 3.9 sec 0-60 is mute, as is comparing splits with certain sneakers.
But i wear the Next % . . . version 2 even!

Seriously, one of them drove off the end after the drag race because it's too short/not enough room to brake and/or turn. Surface looked pretty rough as well. I wouldn't read a lot into the actual times, just relative performance.
Reminder to self:

"Never, ever loan the R1T to online 'Automotive Experts' to test out its capabilities!" ?

The TRX is a monster, there are a couple over here near me (and Raptors) in the Netherlands and they look ridiculous on our roads. Its nice to see how little the R1T looks compared, I hope I can pre-order soon
