That new ford raptor on 37s just looks freaking beastly!
there is a v8 version on the way, so be ready for that
I always prefer Andre's take on this stuff. He's not nearly as biased. Anyhow, if I had the ridiculous money for either one of these trucks, I would opt for the TRX with a taller stance.
Thank you for watching!
Eh, I think he was leaning a little more Ford
And the v8 hp, torque is better. Tranys are crapp on chryslers tho
@@kikesocceraz ZF 8 speed is not made by Chrysler and is a great transmission.
Seen a few transmission fails in the trx already. Fords done the Baja 1000 too… no brainer. Plus ram looks too much like a regular 1500 or rebel, they both need a little bit of lift or level at least. Trx looks way better on 37s as well.
You missed the driving part of this " head to head"
I’d be happy with either of them honestly, cant go wrong with either.
Agree 👍🏻🇺🇸
Same here!
Raptor sounds like a 2000 honda accord. Would rather have the tremor with the 5.0. TRX wins hands down. Can't wait for the raptor R
Definitely agree
With the Raptor being the one that started it all then The TRX came along and now hopefully a Raptor with a supercharged V8 will come soon but either one I like
Couldn't be happier with my 2019 Raptor ! Never once have I had buyers remorse. Went to Ford class in Utah that came free with truck, awesome experience. Had doubts of learning anything Iv'e been mudding since the 70s but was very impressed. You get to jump their trucks and a guy on motorcycle races around taking everybodies picture. You recieve memory stick with photos at end of day. Well done ! Had a dodge challenger, Ford has way better service after your money is pocketed. Raptor Assault.... where Fords learn to fly !
Trx is better but sure
@@blancavostrikov1304 lol definitely better in Jûnkyard
No Vacuum cleaner for me a TRX with a good super charged American V8 can't be be beat!!! If I'm spending 100g's on a pickup I want it to sound like a truck not a cleaning implement!!! I don't need it to stand out I want it to perform as a sleeper!!!
Yeppers, you can listen to that vacuum cleaner when it passes you when you beat it to the gas station.
Gotta have a V-8 to be considered a true truck! The sound of the Raptors' v6 is just awful !!! It just doesn't fit the look of the truck. Come on Ford. If you want to compete, you need to put a V-8 in that beast! The Raptor is a very capable truck, but for me, TRX all the way! MoPar or no car (or truck)
@@billjamison2877 uh why? OP said they didn’t need to stand out and just wanted it to perform, doesn’t the current Raptor check both those boxes?
@@ALMX5DP BECAUSE IT'S A V-6 !
@@billjamison2877 and?
how cool TFL has such a good group of followers that allow the channel to check out not only new cars, but new Viewers Cars that they barely own and trust TFL to keep giving unbiased reviews, and the opportunity to review them
High ground clearance and good dampers and shocks are among the most important features of these types of trucks imo.
Thanks, Captain Obvious…..
@@chaosseat I was emphasizing on those things because a lot of people point out that the Raptor engine wasn't upgraded to compete with the TRX.
Exactly, and have you seen the back to back jump comparison between the 2? TRX would completely nose dive whereas the lighter and much more evenly distributed ecoboost took it like a champ.
@@NutButDontTella and that's what the raptor will do with a very heavy gt 500 motor in it . That's why Ford has resisted putting a v8 in it. The running gear will have to be stronger and heavier to take the power .
@@chaosseat I was only have a go at the Ford people who have been whinging about the weight of the trx are these Ford people going to still whinging about the weight and fuel economy. From captain obvious
I think both of these trucks are amazing. Ford has incredible interiors, but that engine on the TRX is something to behold. I think the TRX takes it for me.
Ford has incredible interiors? Honestly, that’s a weak point for Ford vs Ram (though not as bad as the GM twins interiors, though that’s been rectified for all but the more basic trims in the GM trucks, and the new GM interior is finally pretty fantastic.) The Ram interiors are still at least a notch above the Ford interiors, though.
@@phantom0456 I don’t discount what you are saying at all. I actually have worked on quite a few Rams over the past few months and have been continuously impressed. That being said, have you spent some time in a MY22 Ford? I think they are doing some things worth noticing. I get that it pissed people off me saying that Ford has nice interiors, but you do have to give some credit where credit is due. I never stated that their interiors are better than Rams. I just think there are some models and trims that do have incredible interiors.
@@P4SDetails it didn’t upset me that you said that, I just felt like Ram had the better interior. That being said, I haven’t seen the new F150 interior in person, and I didn’t notice your user name. I’ll take your word for it that it’s a marked improvement over the previous one.
“Hold my beer“ so I can walk around and talk about it the whole video and not drive them
Awful video.
Ford has the truck under NDA still for driving impressions. The TRX was the same way when it was brand new. They made a couple walk around video before the driving impressions could be posted. They probably did drive both of them here already just can't post the video yet.
Gonna have to wait till for let's em drive the raptor
You can come here and ride thisone
Vodka
I'm a Ford guy, but I'll take a super charged V8 over a V6 any day!
I love eight cylinders but they are a dying breed!
Have you seen a modded Nissan gtr put downs nearly 3000 hp with a V6?. V6 is rubbish only In America lol
@@lordsknight4516 Sadly, gas engines in general are a dying breed.
I've lived with Ford 3.5 turbos for six years now, more than one, and I will _never_ go back to a V8.
@@UncleKennysPlace are you enjoying the faked speaker engine sound?
Jurassic Park taught me that Raptors can never take down a T Rex. They can be an annoying distraction, but that is about it.
They both died to an asteroid aka the hummer ev
That's yet to be seen. I'd like to see a 500 mile test with all 3 non stop.
Waiting for the Raptor R!
I agree, the styling on the TRX does not do enough. It doesn’t have to be cheesy but it should be something individual and identifiable.
They are identifiable in person, because of the fenders and stance. Cameras don't do it justice.
Issa knock off Raptor so…
In the world of greyscale everything, that blue interior is quite refreshing, and nicely done.
Reminds me of the cheap-crap cars of the 80s. Blue to me, Gen X, is a bad flashback to the really slow, crappy cars they sold us in the era of 170 HP V8s and K-Cars.
Both of these trucks are great,cool,powerful and beautiful.
I’m just the opposite…the Raptor just looks like another F-150 while the TRX looks very broad shouldered.
I agree. I actually like the way both are styled. They don't look over-the-top like it seems many want. However, I surely notice the TRX is different from a 1500 more than the Raptor from 150.
I got my TRX back in May and traded in my Gen2 Raptor for it. The TRX is definitely a head turner and is more distinguishable from the 1500 for sure.
Yes, maybe it's because the Rebel has some similar ques and the tremor really doesn't, but to me the TRX is every bit as distinguishable or more. Looks more sporty versus squared off.
@@coachvonyo I agree, and there’s something about all the right angles of the trim in the Ford front that I find discordant with the slightly curved sheet metal. It’s like the squared of front end they put on the big Fuselage Chrysler in ‘73…just doesn’t jibe.
I love the blue interior
brings me back to the 70s 80s trucks
That was one of your best presentations. Smooth and precise. Did you drink a big redbull today? Hahaha.
Happy Halloween TFL. Hope it was fun and safe. :)
Thanks and the same to you
Love the 2KW battery/inverter option on the Raptor for camping power options. Think big Dometic fridge/freezer and an instant pot without having to lug around a generator. Supplement that with a propane Camp Chef oven/stove combo and you are set. The TRX still has the hot rod bragging rights. I hope Ford keeps the battery/inverter option available in the upcoming V8 which I'm guessing will be a forced induction 5.2 Voodoo motor. You really can't go wrong with either of these two beasts, purely awesome trucks.
As a European who keeps fuel usage in the back of his head, I’d go with raptor, but honestly I think it looks better, and has a more pronounced look
Ah that music in the beginning when the double kick bass drum comes in
I wonder how the prospector XL would fit into this group. Come on TFL, MAKE IT HAPPEN !!!
I like the TRX, but I’ve seen way too many issues with it. My money is with the raptor. Even though I’m a Ford guy I still love the look of the ram though… even though the third gen is phenomenally beautiful. but to be honest off-road you don’t need 702hp… I know the raptor R is coming out just to have a pecker contest with ram which I say whatever’s. I’d still go with the normal raptor with 37s and ignore the R version. I’m in the market for a new truck and I’m seriously looking at the third gen raptor 37 package if I can find it without the markup or under 5k markup. Id be willing to pay 5k or less. Anything over that they can get the American eagle from me. 😈. Great video as usual Andrey!
I wish you all the luck. I found a couple of dealers in Canada that are not too far from me that are not going beyond MSRP. They aren’t negotiating either though. 2 years ago they were discounting them up to $15K here. They will be there again. I have taken down all the names of the dealerships I contacted and there’s no one I know that are not aware of this. They will lose at least a dozen sales from our group of buyers. 10 are still driving Raptors so they all special ordered through the dealership I ordered my 22 F150 Lariat 5.0 SuperCab. A personal preference is all. I had a 2019 Raptor SuperCab and the guy that’s replacing it has agreed to sell it back to me. He only has put about 10,000 km on it since he bought it. He fixed all the trail damage as well!! Haha. All cosmetic scratches and one dent behind the right rear. I’m excited to get the truck back. The 2022 will be turned into a designated camper with a Project M Canopy on it. I have the rest of the interior built out already!! Haha.
The 2019 looks like it just left the showroom! I’ll keep it that way now as my back is so damaged I can’t really off-road hard anymore. I do have a collection of 8 vehicles, 2 new including a Bronco Badlands 4 door that I may keep quite a while (a rare thing for me). It’s very nice, looks appropriate as a new version of the Classic. I have had 2 classics. They were nice but,,,,,,,. I made too much money on flipping the second one.
Good luck in your quest!
@@shitloveaduck thank you my friend! Sounds like you have quite the plan for your truck! That camper setup sounds sweet!
I went on both websites and built them with comparable options and the TRex was over $90K and the Raptor was $83K, just as Andre said. I actually placed an order for a Raptor this past weekend. I was told it'll be here in September. I've been on Raptor Forums and they're saying I'll be lucky to get it this year!
In sweden the Trx is 150k and the Raptor 84k
That video opening was epic)
Got a 2019 last year with 16K miles on it, at first it was great but then problems started to rise after a month. Pano roof is leaking, turbo lag, the transmission is just really slow to shift, wastegate problems, cam phaser rattle, the exhaust is just annoying to listen to even after putting a corsa on it, and it is very slow unless you mod the heck out of it. Luckily the price that I paid is just the same to how I sold it. Now I got a TRX and I am very happy that I made the switch.
Those who don’t like those blue seats in the Raptor have obviously never sat in them. In my opinion the Recaro seats are the best option you can add to a Raptor if your driving it on a daily basis. Worth every penny!
Good for a young person with a butt, very uncomfortable for the older crowd.
Not a big fan of the dash being all screen. I like having some actual gages. If the screen goes out, you are kind of SOL. Loving the TRX!!!
Modern gages are electronically controlled, and they have moving parts, so it may actually be more likely for them to go out before the screen does
@@ixcutamp8059 or one goes out and you still have everything go out. One screen goes out... You lose the screen.
@@latenightcereal2390Modern gauges are computer controlled, so normally they go out all at the same time.
If only one fails it's more likely that it's because of the wear of moving parts (which mind you screens don't have)
@@ixcutamp8059 true. But really, those will last longer than the dodge, and last. Longer than the fords trans, at least in my experience. I think gauges will be the last of your worries. But Ive had a phone my whole life, so i feel like screens are reasonable reliable
@@latenightcereal2390 yeah, usually when a phone's screen fails is because it gets dropped, and that's not something you have to worry about in a car
I ordered my 2022 TRX on June 08th. Still waiting for delivery…🤷😢 But to answer your question - I originally thought I’d get the Raptor, but I chose the TRX cuz of the HP and the Tech options. Thanks for the side-by-side vid. 👍
Drove up the A9 in Scotland today and got up to 19.2mph and averaged about 17.6 , unbelievable. I wanted to add photos but don’t know how but I’m happy to send them . I started taking from 14 mph and it just got better , when it hit 15mpg it goes into real time mode where you can see the average going up and down as you go up/ down hills eg ,
Should I assume this is with Raptor? I guess zero chances with 6.2 TRX
I had the 2018 raptor, turbo lag is annoying, plus i had so many issues with my raptor it was ridiculous, can phasers, twice. Water pump, oil leak, diff leak, heated seat, pano roof constantly sticking and needed repairs, rear window motor, my sync went bonkers. Just a nightmare, traded it for a trx, it arrives in approx 2 weeks . Thanks
That sucks! How many miles when you had those issues? I’ve read elsewhere that the Raptors are well built. Great resale value too. Sounds like you got a bad one.
Same issues and more
Yup, curious to hear updates!
Nah you have those issues on your raptor before you traded it in for a trx because you didn’t keep up with the maintenance of the truck and you probably treated it like shit
The cam phasers have a bulletin on them, all ecoboost 3.5, cold start knock, not my fault. My pano roof track kept popping out, roof jam, now i need to some how maintain a pano roof? Lol not my fault. Front diff leak, not sure how you stop that, change the front diff gaskets every oil change? Not my fault. My rear window motor blew, not my fault. Drivers heated seat element burnt out. Not my fault. The list goes on, nothing i could have done to make a 75k truck reliable, its obviously not just me, look at fords reliability ratings, terrible. Plus every new ford comes with fords service departments, which are awful when it comes to customer service, at least from my experience, im sure there are ford dealerships that take pride in service.
Both truck look badass honestly, could not go wrong with either, but something about the Raptor thats just gets to me😭🥵
Both incredible trucks. Love or hate either of them, they are rather good at what they do on both accounts.
Ordered my TRX last week. If that Raptor R ever comes out I could see myself trading into it.
TRX - I couldn’t pass on that engine
Me too omg, TRX is awesome with that engine.
Ha ha the Raptor exhaust note
@@thorpower1015 Haha the Stellantis quality control of TRX's being shipped broken from factory
Ram’s bilstein shocks look to be leaking @1:11
🤣🤣🤣💩💩
Great stuff right there
I was wondering if for towing you took in to account fords D rating of wait for altitude ?
Id pick the Raptor, I can't wait for the Raptor R that's coming.
sure you would sure
@@chriskriaris4304 I sense sarcasm. Are you an American by chance?
just like you expected a V 8 for the 3rd gen, and here we are
When you have buttons to change the sound of your exhaust to try to make it sound better when it has no bearing on performance, just a way to jack up price. When you have to get the lux pkg just to get 37 tires, that's just another way to jack up price. I own a gen 1 raptor, and it disappoints me to see the choices ford is making, ram is listening to its customers.
All I read was waaa waaaa waaaaaa I’m a cry baby
That is what I don't understand. I'd go Ram if it wasnt for all the transmission issues they tend to have because they look so nice but Ford was there first so they know what they are doing but its that ego that makes them they know better than the person buying their already overpriced truck. A gen two Raptor with a V8 would have been an amazing platform to build on and it sucks that they didnt offer that for the gen three raptor. Ford really needs to listen to their customers.
But the trx doesn’t even have 37s and the raptor has much better off-road numbers like approach departure and break over also the Ford has a generator unlike the trx
That and if you read the screen on the dash it brightly said the Raptors "Baja" mode was for offroad only!
Its like Ford saying don't call us if law enforcement gives you a ticket for using it on the street!
@@lisamcdonald7828 As the same for buying any non CA compliant part with a cat delete.
I spotted a black TRX the other day on the road and had to look twice. At a glance, it looked to me like someone badged a Raptor with the Ram logo. They both have that Baja styling. Both seem like awesome off road monsters. Not sure how many people buy them to run through the desert though.
I’ve owned both….I currently have a 2021 TRX and it’s NOT EVEN CLOSE! The TRX is unreal!
While both nice, just having 37s isn’t enough to sway from the v8. I’m sure there is a way to put 37s on a trx anyway
A leveling kit gets the job done for the TRX. I agree, a truck without a V8 just isn't the same.
A leveling kit would be great for a pavement queen. Much much more to do To run 37s and make it functional off-road
@@inspectorharrycallahan8658 most of these trucks end up pavement queens but point taken. I’m also sure the 35s perform just fine off road, I have them on my regular ass 1500.
V8 or turbo 6, I don't care as long as the engine has the power to move the truck. IMO the efficiency of V6 provides range for the vehicle that is in itself an important feature the TRX doesn't offer.
@@Steve-yr5vi neither of these is getting good gas mileage especially if it has 37 in tires on it
0:29 LOL
Thought I had a hair on my phone screen, I’ve forgot all about antenna’s
LOVE the Raptor’s sound.
We're lucky that they still make anything like both of these . Enjoy them both, while they last . Love em .
I did decide to get a 1982 K10 over all others. For my criteria of manual transmission was only looking at Tacoma and Jeep. Hit my head in both. I like full size/long bed.
Put money away for a new kidney.
That's an apples-to-rocks comparison 🤔.
id choose the trx, its going to be a collector
No it won't it's a mass produced truck
Itll be as collectable as a hellcat
@@BullittKid08 mass produced over 15k 21s made and even more 22s will be out. if covid didnt hit 100k easy
Yup a collector vehicle for scrap yards!
@@Lumpycrown845 Raptors are a dime a dozen while the TRX isn't. That alone brings more value to the TRX.
The Ram TRX looks like Jake the dog’s mustache from Adventure Time
I love the generation mode option
I choose the TRX mostly because of the v8. Waiting on a Raptor R is insane... ford might produce limited quantities and it will be marked up. Besides that when I ordered my TRX there was no markup. Every ford dealer I went to wanted 7k for a raptor just to order... no lol. I hope dealers realize they shoot themselves in the foots with greed.
If that was true they wouldn't be doing it. Fact is they are marking it up because people are paying it.
@@NANA-lq5md theirs no doubt some one is paying it, but I highly doubt the vast majority are when you can order a trx in the same town for less. With no markup.
That is the thing I fear the most. Them going to the Nintendo school of doing things. I'd hate to miss out on the Raptor R because Ford decided to make like 100 of them and them still being worth like 200k ten years from now.
@@Phoenix3Fighter I can see it I just don't see how they can commit. Ram is backed up 6k plus on orders for the TRX. Ford would be silly to do limited,but I can definitely see it happening
They are ALL marked up
If you look at some of the baseline dyno testings between the Gen 2 and Gen 3 Raptor that was done by Winfield who owns Goosetuned. He is showing that the new Raptor makes around 100rwtq more than the gen 2. I don't understand why Ford hasn't advertised more power because it is substantially higher than the gen 2. Standby for the Raptor R and everyone who wants a V8 can get one.
I can't remember where I heard it but I remember hearing that they were able to do something different with engine and transmission for this model year. I don't think it's more I think it just comes a lot sooner than the Gen 2
Yeah, just like everyone who wants a bronco got a bronco... 🤔
@@bearatts True. I Have a Wildtrack that I’ve been waiting on for a year and half. Still no idea when it will show up.
@@MrTxblksteel tried to post a link to the dyno sheet but TH-cam has a problem with that I guess. According to Winfield's dyno runs the gen 3 made peak rwtq of 517 and the gen 2 was 404wtq. Peak Hp was also up on the gen 3 by about 25.
I’m betting the raptor R has the 5.2 flat plane from the mustang 350r or it has the big Shelby motor. I can’t see ford in their infinite love of technical features, putting the 7.3L into the truck…it’s just a pushrod v8. Although stranger things have happened.
You guys are the VladTv of the off road world 💯💯!!
Man I love Ram and Ford is so hard to choose! I wish build my own truck.
The 3rd Gen Raptor is definitely more off road capable than the TRX. It weighs less, it’s equipped with a front torson differential, and it has better shock technology. With that said, the TRX is faster and who doesn’t like going fast?
The Raptor doesn’t have better shock tech than the TRX. You should read up on that. The TRX’s Bilstein’s are superior to the Raptor’s Fox shocks... and the Silverado ZRX will have shocks that are superior to both (by far, those Multimatic shocks are incredible) even if it falls short in a lot of other areas relative to these two.
@@phantom0456 stop the crack pipe down Karen you are trolling yourself by 2riting such shíts ,
@@phantom0456 In what way are the TRX’s 2.6” Bilstein Blackhawk E2s shocks superior to the Raptor’s 3.1" FOX 3.1 Live Valve shocks?
The fact that TRX shocks are smaller with less travel makes them better? 😂
@@BC08 he obviously is a fiat fan he doesn't know the raptor is the superior off road machine
@@JamesThomas-dn6ee Yeah I gathered that. The Gen 3 Raptor really is better than the TRX in every way except power. The Raptor R is going to crush all the Stellantis fanboys dreams.
you can still tell the raptor is a V6 from the exhaust note but it sounds so much better than the weed whacker exhaust on the last gen raptor.
How much longer for the R?
Thank you for the video. The RAM has towing mirrors. Do the mirrors on the Ford extend? I know it sounds like a nitpick question but if you are towing it does make a difference.
The RAM doesn't have tow mirrors. Atleast, not theirs. I don't even know of they are an option, are they?
Since it's the same doors as the standard F150 you could technically install towing mirrors onto the Raptor.
@@dewboy13 Tow mirrors are an option on the Ram. I accidentally said they were available on the Raptor and I don’t know if that is correct.
Cant forget a 30,000 market adjustment
35k for the trx! Here in Canada 🇨🇦
A few months ago there was a TRX Launch Edition going for $195k cdn,aprox $156k usd with 5k kms,3k miles on it at the local Chrysler dealer.Was sold in a few weeks...
It's hard to choose. I love Ram and that motor is amazing. I'm not a Ford fan but will say the truck looks better and has some nice inside features. If I went with Ford I would wait for the V8.
Do you know the engine inside the raptor is a monster to be a v6 and was rated top truck for over 15 years
@@malibufitness615 That it may be. But when driving in soft sand there is a need for low end torque. I have driven a raptor in a river bottom here in Cali and will rell you it bogs down a lot. The grunt of the old 6.2 was actually better.
@@energypowerification the fact that the raptor uses turbos too is kinda... not as good for offroad or mud since turbos work better at higher RPMs obviously. Pretty much the whole reason i got a v8 f150. I can always supercharge it later. also less problems with naturally aspirated v8's... and for those who think the v6 gets better fuel economy, I got 21MPG average on a 50 mile trip (using eco mode but still).
@@madmike9398 Typically turbos ha e needed rpm but when i tow with my ecoboost. It tows uphill between 2-3k where as my last ram with the hemi was screaming at 4.5k rpm
@@jmjm3543 how many speeds on each of the transmissions? That also plays a large factor.
It's only taken 16 years since the final one was built - but finally another manufacturer is offering 37's from the factory.
TRX, the fastest ruck on the planet. To the scrapyard that is!
hahahah go buy one for me from the scrap yard, good luck!!
TRX!
For some reason I thought the Raptor exhaust sounds better for a second
It's a tough decision, but between the two I think I'd pick the Raptor. I prefer the design aesthetic of the Ford and there is something to be said for the gas mileage. And they surprisingly made the V6 sound pretty good! But I certainly wouldn't turn either one down... The upcoming Raptor R with the V8 should be awesome, but can you just imagine how much dealer markup they're going to charge on it? What would I love to see? The Raptor with a supercharged version of the Godzilla big block motor.
156k Raptor R
I actually do drive off road, in a mere 06 Mercury Mountaineer, just an Explorer in fancy clothes. Does pretty damn well for a mall crawler, out in the SoCal desert. Bigger tires helps.
Both awesome trucks. Id like one of each ) But da Raptor is the truck everybody is trying to copy 11 years now. Raptor wins !
You didn’t mention how much rear travel for the Raptor
As a Ram guy I love to TRX can't wait for the new one
A 1 inch lift, progressive coil springs as the design team originally wanted, 37x13.50r18 tires and a alluminum engine block is what the TRX needs to be a better off road truck.
And to not have 36 issues from the factory
Biggest selling point: Hellcat engine.
Only to buyers who need loud noises to compensate for lack of attention they received as a kid
@@JC71444 it is undeniable that a V8 melody > V6 noise, so a loud V8 is 2x win for me lol
@@jmv2015 that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point when buying these types of vehicles LOL, so my point still remains
Ford needs to give the people the supercharged coyote they deserve
Twin turbo 7.3
The coyote takes boost so well too. It’s just too obvious of a direction to go. But they are married to the ricer engine at this point.
@@farmerbyron1 if ford puts that engine in every platform they' make it a very good buy. The timing set up is so simple
@@apprenticefelix7740 yup, they should just do what dodge/jeep/Ram is doing with the hemi

42000 dollars

Which one
I was actually shocked with the v6. Didn't sound nearly as bad as I was expecting.
Sounds way better. Love my gen 3
And one is junk pig face looking turd and isn't as capable as Raptor
Id take the Raptor in a second over the TRX.
Just curious on gearing. Did Ford change the gears with the 37" package to help compensate for the tire size? Those tires are bigger and heavier so a little more gearing would definitely help.
Totally agree and I've seen nothing that says the 37 Raptor has anything other than the std 4:10s. I've also not seen a single published 0-60 time for the 37 Raptor. I have to assume it's a good 3+ sec slower to 60 than the TRX. A 0-60 head-to-head would have been a nice addition to this video.
@@elmoore58 4:10 should be just fine, anything taller and you wouldn't be able to drive on the freeway. keep in mind you'll see more of these trucks on the freeways than the trails, so they have the be competent at freeway speeds.
@@ElectronicsForFun I think that's why 37's are overkill for an everyday truck. The 4:10 is not enough for the 37's and you lose any chance at gas mileage with 37's as well quickness. Raptor looks solid with 35's and makes more sense. That is unless you're mainly using the 37 package for offroad, which I doubt 80% of the buyers would be.
@@chadmorgan2903 I have honestly never actually seen a raptor touch dirt.
@@chadmorgan2903 For people who actually use what they buy.. Get the 37 and just buy a 2nd set of 35s if you are dailying it. I have at minimum 2 sets of wheels per car personally.
Three for my BRZ. Original if someone wrecks it so I can keep the other two, daily 255s and track day 255s.
Trx cause the raptor sounds like a clapped out v6 with a glass pack.
Imagine buying a pos just for sound lol these mopar girls
The Raptor desperately needs a V8. The V6 still sounds very girly and wimpy!
The Ford raptor r has a v8
@@camgrant2264 It isn't out yet.
I know but it will be
@@camgrant2264 Which means so long it's not out, the Raptor will continue to sound girly and wimpy.
It’s a shame the raptor sounds like a Japanese sports car
Both hd pickup truck's are awesome 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😻😻😻😻🤘👍
what was the name of the song in the intro?
The Raptor is more realistic in terms of daily use. Fuel economy still matters to me.
You don't buy either one of these for fuel economy. 15 city/18 highway. Really?
I like the ram just fine but after seeing a few Trx’s around Dallas they don’t really stand out compared to normal rams. Thay could be because it’s very common to do a lift wheels and tires at point of purchase here in texas. But maybe not. Just figured it would look very different from the normal rams and it doesn’t. In person anyway.
I agree, I see a few in Iowa City and can't tell what it is except for when it passes by and I read the letters
I totally agree!
Off Road Astro & Other Vans. Down here in Louisiana I see one about every month and they stand out from other rams
They look like the Ram 2500
Your right they don’t stand out you have to be close up on it to really see what it is
I’m honestly not sure; they’re both amazing
We need to wait for the next Raptor and TRX
RAM, all the way. My 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4EcoDiesel has been virtually flawless (except for emission recalls). Every Ford (4 of them) I have ever owned (4 of them) fell apart within 4 years.
I want a gen two Raptor since its my dream truck but I may be willing to hold out for the Raptor R. I think I want a V8 Raptor more as the default platform that I can build on as opposed to having to replace the twin turbo V6 and transmission for a V8 and resetting the trucks computer to support it all. Tough call.
Wouldn't choose either without some driving reviews on & off road.
Getting my trx tomorrow!. Was hesitant between the new raptor and trx. Hopefully i made the right choice
I hope Ford does a Raptor Lightning. All this talk about which one sounds better will be hilarious when they get outrun by an electric version.
Even more hilarious when you run out of juice in the middle of the desert. 🤣
Ford couldn't beat the Ram on power so they threw on a set of 37's?PSH...Unreal...😂😂😂
Because the 6.2 is fun but it dies out and the way the raptor drives is just something you can't get besides a raptor
Ram couldn't beat ford so they just make knockoff of Raptor and give it more power and these mopar girls think more power = better truck lol
The ram life is the way !
I’ll get both ✌🏻
But I think I’ll wait...until hell freezes over!
I still would go with the Raptor. Still a good performance off road truck.
V8’s always rhe best , and that style from TRX is just perfect
Was the made in Denver ? Haha I live in Denver Colorado great video
I would prefer the base-ish models of these two plus a side by side or dirt bike to tackle the trails. Or even the new tundra. These two are insanely expensive. And this is not even taking into account dealer markups.
