A quick test drive in the new 700hp Ford Raptor R. This truck starts at $109,415 and competes with the TRX.

Whether you are a TRX or Raptor fan, lets just be thankful these things exist

[@mattgray6436]

And thankful the raptor can at least give the ability for 2wd

[@brokenwrench404]

@@mattgray6436 it’s kinda shocking that Ram did that. They could of got better epa numbers by having 2wd which would reduce the gas guzzler tax they hit you with when registering them

[@JsGarage]

@@brokenwrench404 It's not too surprising. The 392 wrangler is AWD/4WD only and their pickup trucks don't have the ability to disable stability control in 2wd either.

[@jessemartinez9279]

Yes I would buy one if I could afford it. Currently have a gen 2 Raptor, so I gave the same complaints. you have astutely pointed out a lot of of the issues driving one daily. Thanks for your feedback. Hopefully Ford listens for the next gen.

[@tweedyosu9383]

Also drive a gen 2 raptor, and totally wish i could afford one. Could even afford a newer gen 3, the msrp on those are still about 85-90k. But My gen 2 gets about 13 mpg, I test drove a 2023 3.5l ecoboost it got 15-16. So im definitelay looking to get a gen 3.

[@TrevorNolanFoster]

Awesome video man! Looking forward to picking up my Raptor R at the end of the month! Build was completed and was shipped to my dealer last week!

Like the Raptor has a good balance. Not a big heavy sledge like the TRX.

[@spinevice7689]

It has the heated steering wheel! I'd buy at MSRP for sure, but not the 20-70k adm or aftermarket cost. Currently drive the TRX with some engine upgrades pushing 787 to the crank. The TRX performance and interior quality (including audio) is hard to beat!

[@KAZ109]

If you are a pavement princess I agree with you, however if you off-road like category both trucks are in then the weight of the TRX is impossible to hide. There is no need for more HP, more suspension travel is much more beneficial

[@danmiranda3732]

Check it out I don’t know how much the markup is in other states but in California there’s a $100,000 mark up on this vehicle plus the other taxes and fees that they want to add on. Overall they want us paying $250-$275,000 for one of these trucks in California. I have a buddy that is a sales manager. We’ve been buddies for the last 20 years. I’ve bought multiple vehicles off of him and he still can’t get me anything cheaper than 250. It’s outrageous and I still won’t buy it at that price if the price has dropped down to the actual $150,000 mark then yes I will purchase it. Other than that an F150 it’s not worth $250,000 regardless of the supercharger I’d rather purchase a fucking TRX for 120K.

The Raptor is the better off road truck, no question. But since most pavement princesses prefer asphalt, the TRX is likely a better buy for them.

[@chrisholland2016]

Personally i like this raptor R a little better than the Ram TRX TBH just by the look and how much lighter it moves. TRX may be a little faster but in general you can't go wrong with this Raptor R. It's a off road predator.

[@dailylife3975]

The raptor and the raptor r both have 4.10 gear ratio that means they didn't do anything except bigger motor and suspension parts and axle so I would put 35s back on being it was originally made for them I believe they put 37s to be bigger than the ram obviously

[@KeithKacanek]

Just like with the regular Raptor 37 package, they strengthened the frame. Plus suspension tuning is different

[@Alexander450R]

They also strengthened the drive line, transfer case, and some transmission components. 35's would definitely make the truck faster, but I'd keep the 37's for offroad-ability since I actually use my Raptor.

[@brokenwrench404]

I’d keep the 37’s and regear for them with some 4.56’s. They wouldn’t give up the extra ground clearance. I wonder what those 37’s actually measure at on the vehicle. If they’re bfg’s they’ll be less than other manufacturers since they run smaller
