- Join us as we get an on and off-road look at the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R and 2022 Ram 1500 TRX.
Fans of old-school American muscle may weep and gnash their teeth at the advent of modern, electrified powertrains. But despite protestations to the contrary, there’s maybe never been a better time to be a supercharged V8. Blown eight-cylinder engines now appear in everything ranging from muscle sedans to track-ready sports cars, from family-sized SUVs to desert-ready supertrucks.
It’s the latter category that’s piqued my interest most lately. The Ford F-150 Raptor has been a fixture of high-speed off-roading since its debut in 2010, but for its second generation, Ford ditched the V8 in favor of a downsized and twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6. That move left some enthusiasts cold, but luckily, Ram and its parent company Stellantis dropped the legendary Hellcat 6.2-liter V8 under the hood of the TRX, a wide-body, long-travel version of the 1500 pickup. The Raptor suddenly had some company, a rival whose supercharged engine note inspires a lot more hoonery than the powerful, but aurally challenged, Ecoboost V6.
The Blue Oval soon returned volley with the 2023 F-150 Raptor R, which also gets a heart transplant courtesy of a muscular corporate sibling - in this case, the supercharged 5.2-liter V8 from the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. With 700 horsepower under the hood, the Raptor R is down (barely) on the TRX, but it compensates with 400 fewer pounds of body fat. With nearly identical ground clearance and wheel travel, picking a winner from only a spec chart is all but impossible. Guess I’ll have to hit the road (and the dirt) to figure out which of these dinosaurs is the best.

Problem is…..I do have 110k to spend on a raptor R. 1) I can’t order one 2) I will never, ever pay the dealer markup that they are asking. Even 10k over sticker is an idiot move. Fools part with their money, smart people don’t.
yeah. going to be a couple years until the financially responsible people get to cash in on being patient. thanks 0.0000001% fed funds rate!
TRX of course
TRX baby
Bang for your buck…TRX all day…and I’m happy to own one. I can’t describe the Road presence my truck has. You know when a TRX is on the road and in your proximity. A Raptor you don’t know if it’s a R or eco boost until it drives near you.
Furthermore the Hellcat cast iron block and engine is the epitome of longevity, they are bulletproof. The Raptor R is 111k and 99.9% of the truck is recycled from its V6 cousin. The TRX is wider and longer than a Raptor and screams get out of my way.
You didn't mentioned that TRX has much better interior filling and the leather quality with gigentic LCD screen.
@@yaroslavgorislabe3551 oh yeah, and The TRX has a much better interior lol.
Facts bro. Ford boys are full of shit just trying to hate on everything that’s not a Fore. For that I’ll say Ford already halted production on the Raptor R for oil leaks and seal issues, tons are being recalled, already.
TRX for me. It’s also $35-50k less with mark ups. Win win.
Cheap imitation is cheap, sounds about right if I can’t buy the original I won’t buy it period but that’s just me. Raptor all the way.
@@CoyoteFTWcheap imitation? Can't buy an original? LOL. It's Ford who imitates Ram upgrading their raptor.
@@CoyoteFTWlmao. Ford had to ditch the v6 and get back the v8 supercharger because the TRX was better.
TRX All Day!!!
I drive more on regular road so TRX for me, if I drive more off road then maybe Raptor Third Gen.
Raptor R 0-60 3.7 seconds
Agree. Their time for the TRX seems off, too. Not sure why both are several tenths slower than other reviewers are getting.
TRX 3.5-3.6
Could be elevation
Raptor R😍
Ram grille, overall, could be a bit bigger and more boxy. Gets too pointy and narrow towards the front
Love your intro 🍻
I think the Raptor looks better I guess, more modern anyway while the TRX looks more imposing. I think when comparing exhaust the Raptor sounds better but if you compare the engine, intake sound combined with that supercharger then the TRX sounds better. So out back Raptor sounds better up front TRX sounds better. These 2 badass trucks attributes mimics each other so close, you'd think they were made by the same manufacturer and development team. Really the biggest and most meaningful difference between these 2 is the fact that the Raptor has more agility thanks to it's lighter weight, which fits it's name just right as you know Raptors are a lot lighter, quicker, and more agile than a T-Rex. Either way no winner here except for the consumers, it will come down to brand loyalty.
You are pretty spot on just with how much these trucks go for I wouldn’t trust my money with a dodge product
@@OleSevers I agree whole heartedly. I am not a fan of FCA products whatsoever and thats from my personal experiences. So if I was buying one of these it would definitely be the Raptor R.
I’ll take either one and be 100% happy
I’ve owned both, I personally prefer a raptor.
R is not much expensive compared to TRX but you have to donate really high price to the falling economy of dealerships for the R.
Man I love this Raptor
Well, Ford has had 15 years to make the Raptor better. Ram has done and incredible job in just 2 years! My choice would be the Ram. It will only get better.
you really believe in Italian parent company of Ram? Italians suck at engineering anything reliable, think twice before you make the final decision
Well it's call bench marking, Soooo.???.. like the Corvett and The many Ford GT'S...
You must be smoking some powerful chit. The Raptor is a real baja truck, the trx is a knock off
@Bruce Dragon1000 the TRX has been to baja with other raptors and has not broke once. Only area it's lacking is shocks. It definitely needs bigger shocks, but overall it does great with what it has.
@@98ws6m6cvert sorry bro there's no comparison, That Ford Raptor is the real deal... We not just talking about shocks bro, Dodge had to put a v8 in that thing just to out do the Raptor. Now that Ford drop a smaller v8 that out performs Dodge big v8, now what?? If you really think Dodge makes a better truck than Ford, you're most definitely smoking crack
Personally I love the look of the TRX much better , and the fellow is right about the sound of that Hellcat motor …… looks more aggressive on exterior plus the interior I prefer and that sound of the TRX makes it my choice.………what about fuel consumption of both ?
At 7:00 you should've had a Sinaloa Cartel member with you to verify before/after commentary and see at the end which one he prefers. Now that would be a real world opinion I could stand behind.
Raptor often imitated never duplicated PERIODT
That’s just ford I’m general
I just wonder how fast a TRX R would be 😊
Team Raptor ❤
TRX is so much more aggressive and imposing looking, especially in the black. TRX for me.
I will take the Ford!
Are you Koben's brother?
@@toddphillips345 Yes!
@@drchangtorres i thought so. I have my TRX being built soon. I am in the queue! Please say hello to Koben for me.
I wonder how fast a TRX R would be 🤔
Trx jailbreak 😂😂
Hennessy makes the Mammoth which is a 1000 hp trx
Massively impressive
Large American v8’s ie big blocks are commonly 7 liters or more in displacement.
At 9:20 I thought that was Hyde from that 70s show. Better get a haircut or some crazy dude might not stop and think. Just a warning. Back to your awesome video
Raptor wins overall
I love the TRX I just don’t trust my money with a dodge product like thatv
Since You Guys That Side(State side) Are Used To Big Trucks The Ford Ranger Raptor May Feel Like A 4-Seater UTV. 😂😂😂
Lets just thank The SRT guys for putting that beautiful Hellcat engine in the TRX or the Raptor R would have never happened. I have had two gen2s and now own a TRX if that tells you anything. I spent a lot of time at the Ford house with the Ecoboom.
That not a raptor but PREDATOR !🎉
Ford>fiat dodge!!🤣😂
LAME I HAVE THEM BOTH TRX SMOKES RAPTOR TRX HOLDS GEARS WAY BETTER RAPTOR 10 SPEED TRANS IS GARBAGE
How come every mechanic say the 10 speed is awesome, get your lying a& off this post
u drive an altima for sure
I have owned 4 raptors two generation ones one generation two and then the generation three raptor r and I’ve owned my TRX for two years .. The build quality doesn’t even compare the fox shocks are better for Baja but overall the TRX smokes it and there’s nothing better than a 6.2 L hellcat super charge.. I also on several cars you wish you had my car game and do you wish you had my game you own a Prius that had the carburetor stolen out of it.. respect real game and don’t hate levitate work hard and you could do the same
Massively impressive
