Both are absolutely gorgeous trucks. Job well done by both manufacturers. 👏🏽 I might end up with the Raptor. Solely based on the looks preference.

[@tymorris6796]

That’s nuts to pay a $60k premium just for looks. KBB average dealer markup is 40k. Which is right the only listings I can find for raptor R are $150+. Just ordered a fully optioned out TRX for 90k. This will also be in 2023 which is when the new tax bracket goes into effect so you’ll be paying significantly higher taxes on vehicles over $120,000

Everyone keeps saying "smaller tires" for the Raptor R while negating a couple of advantages it has over the TRX. It has 4.10 gears(TRX makes due with 3.55s), a wider ratio spread on the 10spd, and 400lbs less weight. Yes, 37s take more to spin, but the R does have some tricks up sleeve as well.

[@Treyk901]

Upping the gearing like that doesn’t help in the 1/4 like you think. It helps with the torque multiplication from a stop but beyond that with the 10 speed it’s not doing much difference. The 2” tire size makes a HUGE difference.

[@skylerssupercarlife348]

I'd say launch control certainly played its part.

[@bosssho]

The irony is any of us who race our TRXs do NOT use Launch Control...it's slower.

[@masorcas1000]

Forealz. I have a trx and i can launch way harder without launch control

[@210castro]

2” tire difference

[@dor1tomcswagger69]

From what I hear literally in videos 80% of the reviewers that launch trxs fail you can hear like a gurgling noise when its actually activated and what I mean by this is that the TRX easily hits under 4 sec without launch control which is already faster than the Raptor R the TRX just puts the power down better from a dig

[@PatriotJK1776]

@@bosssho Well said my friend. I a was about to say this exact thing. Any competent TRX owner knows left for brake till around 1700 rpm’s and let it rip. So many journalists want to rev the hell out of it like it’s a DOHC, they must not understand pushrod engines.

Possibly, but it already has two advantages: 4.10 gears and 10spd trans. TRX makes due with 3.55s and the 8HP, although it is a damn good transmission.

Can't go wrong with either of these beasts! Just comes down to personal preference. I would like to see these two behemoths with a similar wheel/tire setup in a race since Raptor Rs come with standard 37" tires, more rotating mass than the Hellcat Ram.

Nope, because the TRX is priced well, raptor R is not. TRX right now can be had for the price of a V6 RAPTOR lmfao, raptor R? That price is SKY high

@Robotic Venom Nothing in my comment stated anything in reference to price point, it was purely based on performance...

[@tymorris6796]

You did compare their similarities and differences with the raptor having a 2 inch larger tire. I mean if you wanna be fair and do the same tire it’s only said to put in $23,500 in aftermarket parts in the TRX then you’re comparing apples to apples same price point same market they’re aiming for. Two vehicles that are over 20% different in price are not competing for the same market share. Not to mention you can order a TRX fully optioned out. 2023. For $90,000k. The cheapest Raptor R you can order right now comes with a $40,000 markup. You cannot find a raptor R for less than $140,000 in the United States
