In your opinion what species of Nepenthes generate the largest pitchers? My vote is on the Truncata but I saw the B.E made a cross called the Giant?

Rajah....
I think it has been proven to have the largest pitchers. People have put their entire fists inside.
And, it occasionally catches rats!

O yes N.rajah by far ,the largest known nepenthe pitcher on record is a rajah
J

antenbourhii is big

N. Rajah is compared with the N. Merrillana

the N. Merrilliana has be discovered in recent times, is a Lowland neps, is so much easy compared with the N. Rajah , and the pitcher has the same size

N. Rajah huh? Looks like I'll be on a new journey to obtain this species!

Nepenthes Rajah is the biggest pitcher plant in the world and can mostly be found in Mountain in Malaysia

It depends on weather you are looking for volume or length.

I would say the biggest (length) are:
truncata
edwarsina
macrophylla

The biggest by volume are:
raja
merrilliana
sibyuensis
antenbourhii

I've seen pictures of all of these with a comparison.
The first three, I've seen pictures of by 2 liter soda.
The second four, I've seen pictures of with many different things, from fists in them to heads in them to children carrying them
