The way he jumped on his seat on that ram and can still keep saying it’s better. The only thing ram has is nice interior and the tech. But all of that will get out dated but the smile on your face on that raptor while jumping over dirt ramps, Will never get old boi!

[@T4nkcommander]

Yeah and it took 4 years for Ram to catch up in the interior department....

[@T4nkcommander]

@Enigma McC lol the Ford interior has been better for 4 years now, as Ford got its refresh back in 2015. Dodge finally added a lot of things Ford has had all these years, such as lane keeping, adaptive cruise, list goes on. So yeah, it took dodge 4 years to catch up. And guess what? In two more years Ford gets a refresh, and then Ram will have to go another 4 years just to catch up again.

[@លុចលាភហេង]

Renato Gomes good looking? tell u what.... the raptor is a better looking truck

[@alexferrara9287]

Two different trucks for two different purposes. The Raptors powertrain is focused on what it was built for. The powertrain in the Rebel is not the best Ram offers. Not to mention, when it comes to the best of the best, Dodge Ram reigns king with the Cummins! When it comes to the big boy power trains the Cummins is in a league of its own. Ford makes an excellent diesel/gas engine but, Dodge edges out the victory handily.

[@alexferrara9287]

The problem here is that Ram hasn't TRULY built a truck that focuses on the same purpose as the Raptor. They had a great concept with the Ram Runner many years ago but, ultimately let go of it. They didn't put much effort into it even though it was a superior off road (only) truck compared to the Raptor. They had another concept called the Ram Rebel TRX in 2016 and never put it into production. That said, the Rebel in this video might have a smaller engine than the Raptor (doesn't mean inferior) but, can tow WAY more weight and is more luxurious at a much cheaper price point. Now, the Ram Power Wagon is a lot heavier than the Raptor but, can do 90+% of what the Raptor does off road. Which is incredible considering how heavy it is. Off roading favors great tires, good suspension, axel/differential, etc. before horse power. And the lighter the truck, the better in most cases. Yet, the Power Wagon gets through obstacles it shouldn't lol.

[@naarealy]

The Raptor is the better truck, but the Rebel is the better value. Really, both are very nice trucks.

I own a 18 Raptor and agree with you, the RAM is a very nice truck with a great interior, and for the price the Raptor can't compete...

[@Josephcmiro731]

A real review. Yes we all know the raptor wins if we’re discussing off-roading but most people think the rebel is already crazy looking enough. I just don’t find things impressive when they’re as costly as they are touted. It’s just not even a close companion. The rebel is a real truck, with a good price, and it has really sharp look inside and out. I think the rebel is just the better buy; you’re getting utility from a rebel too. It’s also more than $10k cheaper. Who else besides ram has made an off-road truck that isn’t $100k?

[@25ajitmishra]

Bful presentation n comparison which is loud n clear... If someone want a truck for luxury, family n for long drive with bit offroading then RAM F150 is the best option n if you are a off-road traveller n love to travel terrain heels on wheels then raptor is the only option.✌✌✌✌✌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍

The interior is outclassed by the RAM but it's no slouch either and yes it cost more, but you get more then any other truck offers period!...Between the drive modes, the rear locker, a Torsen LSD up front, 4.10 gears, the 10 sp trans and by the way have you ever tried to shift manually off roading at speed or bouncing around with a column shifter?...it sucks!....(how does the RAM manually shift with the hocky puck?) That extra cost gets you paddle shifters, of a good old console shifter...
