I was a V8 only/GM guy for a long time, had a few Chevy/GMC trucks, then my ‘15 Sierra got totaled by a deer after I just paid it off- I took the ins check & instead of just automatically getting another GM 1/2 ton I opted to be open minded & drove “everything” & then drove a 2018 Raptor & immediately knew that was truck for me- the 3.5EB completely changed my mind on the Ford boosted engines, sooo much torque & no turbo lag & an extra 50-100whp/wtq is available w/ just a tune & I get 15.5mpg overall. Ironically my ‘18 Raptor got totaled by a distracted driver in Nov of 2020 (right after I paid it off of course) & w/ 43k miles on it the ins company gave me a settlement check that amounted to MORE than what I originally paid for it + tax + $2100 in mods I put on it!!!!!!!! That’s how well they hold value, & that’s right about when the car market started going crazy….I got $71.5k free & clear from insurance & again- drove EVERYTHING- including a TRX, at the time for what loaded Raptors stickered for, the TRX was right in the same ballpark- would I have preferred a V8 in the Raptor? Sure…but enough to sway me to buy the TRX instead? Nope. Gave that whole story in case anyone bothered to read it just to let everyone know from someone who was/is not a Ford brand loyalist & has owned 2 3.5HO Raptors….that’s how good they are esp as a daily driver. My truck w/ a tune made 442whp/483rwtq on 93 octane. That’s like 550hp/600tq @ the crank- that’s PLENTY of power & still gets 15.5mpg……all this being said, that’s why I’d take a Raptor R over a TRX

Great video. Agree with the review. I haven't driven the raptor R, but I own the TRX. I love everything about the TRX, so awesome, so comfortable, makes you feel so special to drive, and that's why I bought it. My twin brother has a raptor, and after riding with me in the TRX he said he doesn't enjoy the ride in his ford as much any more. I think the heavier feeling in the TRX helps it handle better in snow and on gravel roads. I never thought I would ever own a dodge, ever, but I'm so glad I changed my opinion and got the TRX. I have nothing against ford, but since my twin had one I decided to do the TRX.

Proud TRX Owner here. Chose between the TRX and the R. But the TRX price point being 40k less due to the Insane markups on The R solidified my decision. In my area the V6 Raptor is only 10-12k less than a TRX and The R is 30-40K more with the markup. Easy decision for me when purchasing! TRX all the way. I will mention while the TRX is the king of the trucks on the current market…it is Zero match compared to my wife’s M8 Competition. We got the best of both worlds!

There’s some cheaper feeling plastic bits but, the seats are SUPER comfortable. Ram really set an industry standard with the interiors, forcing GM & Ford to catch up. And in many ways, they both did. Either way, picking between these two trucks is a hard one but, I myself would give the nod to the TRX. I would love to see a 700+ HP Tundra/Tacoma competitor. I think I’d have to go with Toyota if they ever decided to make one.

Not sure about the all wheel drive in the TRX. I haven't researched it. But what I have found thus far is it is always in all wheel drive. There is no rear-wheel drive option. The Ford on the other hand can be used in just rear-wheel drive. Meaning less wear and tear on the full drivetrain. Also, the "all wheel drive" (4A) in the Ford is not all wheel drive. It is full four wheel drive (same as 4Hi), but power is sent to the front through a clutch pack. This allows for the difference in wheel speed when turning on pavement without damaging the system. Then when in 4HI or 4LO the clutch pack is locked up.

When you're reviewing trucks like these, you really need to have your facts straight. The Ford does not have an aluminum frame. It has a aluminum body. And other than just driving around around to determine which is better, that's not fair to either truck. We know the raptor R is quicker, faster, and better off road. It also gets better mpg, not by alot. But enough. And it'll always have better resale value. The Raptor R is king of the off road hot rod trucks

RacerX - to answer your question, you pick the one without the 10R80 transmission. You reviewers keep ignoring the glaring fault of the RaptoR, which is a timebomb transmission that is not built for the truck it is put into. I was looking forward to the RaptoR until it was reported that they were using the standard F-150 10R80 transmission with a custom electronic calibration for the RaptoR (not designed for high HP/Torque applications). It may be fun to drive at first, but put some miles on it, encounter problems (and you will have them) and start paying a lot more money getting it fixed constantly. Mechanics love the 10R80 because it keeps them rolling in the repair business.

I own TRX so I am Ram guy. You can barely see the difference between regular F150 and raptor when they drive around you. Few extra plastics and only the sticker showing what kind of truck is that. But I will never buy ford anyway no matter what:

I'm a mopar guy but Ford has got it going on I am not sure if you watch Cleetus Mcfarlands channel but he did a TRX VS Raptor R and it's close he did lot's of testing with a Jeep Trackhawk VS the Raptor too the Trackhawk was a give away truck and he did a bunch of upgrades to it before he gave it away like a ported out supercharger case and a bunch of suspension upgrades if you have not watched him he is a Florida guy out of Bradenton and is a kick butt channel.

You should find a new Rauch F150 that is supercharged. My dad has one. It blows the dust off a TRX it’s really fast.

u forgot to mention the 37” tires on the R as a factor in racing. trying to accelerate a taller and heavier tire significantly hurts your acceleration.

The Dealer markups on the Raptor R and MSRP price difference makes the TRX the winner currently, In my opinion.

Ram did extensive head to head testing at Wild West Off road track in Reno. They had pro drivers with multiple Ford's and multiple Rams. Watching it was clear Ram was a better unit

Probably drag racing TRXs vs EcoBoost Raptor. Base Gen 3 Raptors already had the TRX beat across the board. They have a much more capable chassis and suspension, the Raptor R just snatched away the TRX’s only advantage which was power.
@The-fs5wn Жыл бұрын
A perfectly smooth dirt track is not going to be a real test for either vehicle and it was intentionally geared to favor the more powerful Ram. In the only actual desert race between the two that I could find, a 37 equipped Ecoboost Raptor (which should realistically be worse in a desert race due to the extra unsprung weight and lower suspension travel) beat the TRX by a not-insignificant 7 seconds, on a 4 minute course. This despite it being down on power and the driver saying he could have driven the Raptor harder.

Great video, both great trucks and I almost bought the trx but I decided to go with the 2500 Hd ram rebel because I thought it might be better for pulling a trailer, plus I didn’t know if you could get the trx with the ram boxes which I really like

@@DJGRoc Actually the 6.4 is the standard motor in the 2500 class. It's the only motor you can get on the Power Wagon as well. The Cummins is optional in the 2500 and only comes with the 68rfe auto. If you want the H.O. Cummins with the Aisin then you gotta go up to the 3500 if I remember correctly.
