#TRX #Raptor #OffroadTrucks
Awesome comparison! Basically comes down to tangible vs. intangible, numbers vs. tech. I tend to lean to towards performance numbers and am partial to Ram. However, both great trucks!
Keep in mind ram focuses on street performance while the raptor focuses on offroad performance.
@@Blue_Flame_Raptor u comment the stupidest shit on here. Your raptor is no more off-road oriented than the trx. You don’t have to try to save face on TH-cam and make yourself feel better about making a stupid purchase on an extremely overpriced vehicle because an even more overpriced vehicle that makes more power and is a better vehicle overall than yours came out.
@@ryancoates872 so why isn’t there a off road comparison?
Because the TRX will have the same performance difference as the hellcat and the GT350R.
@@Blue_Flame_Raptor If it focuses on street performance, then why does it have 35 inch all terrains? Or a rear locker? What about long travel suspension? Full time AWD? Front limited slip? An optional bed mounted spare tire? Optional beadlocks? What about the fact that it has about the same approach and departure angles as the raptor? Or the same ground clearance? Yeah, definitely a street truck.
This was a very, very objective comparison, neither truck is going to disappoint. Just me, I'd go with the Raptor, the EB engines have scary power on tap at all times, that the TRX has more doesn't diminish that. For me the MPG difference is a big factor, not just that you're putting more money into the tank, but also you're having to fill-up more, trips must be planned based on having to fuel up. I have a non-Raptor with the 3.5 EB, it has an effective range of 600-700 miles on a single tank (36 gal). The biggest tank an TRX comes with is 33 gal, for the Raptor it's 36 gal, that gives the TRX (11 mpg avg) an effective range of ~300 miles vs ~600 (18 mpg avg) for the Raptor. That 300 mile difference impacts trip planning significantly, if you don't have a truck with a 600+ mile range I recommend getting one, after you get used to having that range options open up. The places these trucks can get don't have fuel stations around for 20+ miles, factoring that into a trip changes time on location dramatically. Sure you can take gas along but that's dangerous, a pain and carrying more that 5 gallons is impractical. I hear Ford is putting a version of the GT500 engine in the next Raptor, I hope they keep the 3.5 EB, and I'm sure it'll still be the volume seller. My bet is if RAM keeps producing the TRX, before long they'll make an engine similar to the 3.5 EB an option and it too will be the volume seller for the TRX.
If I can afford almost 80 grand on a truck I'm not concerned about gas mileage. Especially with 702 horsepower.
VersperasSDS - Wait for the 2023 MY for TRX's to get THAT LOW ALL-IN, unless you get VERY LUCKY and get a Ram dealer (most likely way out there) that would sell you one for MSRP or just above it. I do believe the base TRX MSRP is in the low-mid U$70K's.
Doug DeMuro already alerted most TRX listed are > U$100K and most of those U$100-115K...
AND they are made by FIAT
@@john8201 - look... the Chrysler group of brands have never been anywhere near top on reliability, EVER.
So whether their owners are Fiat or Peugeot, as the next ones will be, IT DOESN'T MATTER REALLY.
THEY WILL STILL BE CRAPPY because of their policies, NO MATTER WHO OWNS IT.
As the people who've reviewed AMC dutifully put on them (applies to Chrysler as well): A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT...
Conversely, if you’re spending $80k on a car you’re less likely to afford the higher operational cost.
.
It’s dumb to say, “if I’m spending more money why not burn some more of it while I’m at it.”
.
See, money is zero sum. You only make so much, so the more you spend on the initial purchase price means you have even less for operational cost at the same income level.
#commonsense
@@KTMcaptain - I suspect the poster that said he could afford the U$80K truck can barely afford it or truly can't. That's why I replied that almost no one will get a TRX for that much for at least a couple of years. In early 2021 the TRX is at best a U$95-100K truck, too close to the new GMC Hummer First Edition BEP.
As a former Nissan dealer employee I can tell you usually those who will buy a particular vehicle were for the most part the ones that could afford even more expensive ones, but settled on the cheaper one once ALL CO$T$ were factored in.
(even for a already paid-for used car you'll need where I live at least U$75/week* for gas, maintenance and a fund for unexpected parts / repairs. Of course, YMMV...)
* extra for tag, title and insurance
Engineer : sir we should add many features like Ford
Ram : MORE POWER
Still enjoy the father and son commentary and occasional jabs of facts.
If I'm spending 77k on a truck, I can spend the extra 7k on the added features. 700+hp is huge.
That covers 7k by itself at dealer prices.
I’m with you bro
It's 15k more to get them all
@@BombsAwayMineCraft No its not, I built it online for 85k.
I just buy an older truck and build a beast with the extra 60k.
Given the scenario of choosing between these two, I’d go TRX.
"Plugged into a gas pump overnight", nice.
...those EcoBoosts are no picnic either...the one that I drive for work is almost as bad as my Hemi...I'd rather have the power for the marginally worse numbers...
...I haven't lost to either...a 2.7 isn't in the same league, but a 3.5 is close...only time I lose to a GM is if it's a bigger engine...but if it's apples to apples Hemi wins...and Hemis have much more room to 'grow'...ie Demon, Super Stock, Redeye.....
@@emmanuellujan9078 It can't smoke this hemi now can it.
The issue with the hemi is that you have to drive it hard since the engine design does not adequately oil the lifters and cam shaft at low RPMs.
The fact that both these trucks exist is incredible.
That TH-cam money is incredible
Specifics Jsvn now Toyota needs to stop playing around and make an FJ Cruiser reboot.
Not so much the raptor as it's been around a while now but I agree when it comes to the TRX, a supercharged HEMI V8 pumping out over 700hp it's unreal especially in the age of eco efficiency
@@BIGHAMZA nah you get the best tundra with best package and alot cheaper
Omar Garcia Top of the line FJ never cracked $40K. Top of the line Tundra will run you $60K easily. And for off roading Tundra is too long.
Rumor has it that “Performance Pages” is still loading lmao!!!
but it loaded the loading screen.
Ford: ventilated seats
Dodge: POOOOOOOWWWERRRRR
Ford: Let's make our Mustang a four door and electric. And we should make our trucks with an electric motor to keep up with the trending market.
Dodge: *bumps coke off a strippers ass* We could put a f-ing Hellcat in a f-ing minivan"
FCA RAM: powerrrrrrr ... but no reliability and ugly as a steer's a**
Ford: lol ... I'm refined, powerful, reliable, STYLISH and I hold my resale value.
@Hayden Korte False
@@Gerberous As much as I love combustion engines, electric is taking over. Ford knows that, Dodge is denying that. And that denial at this crucial moment will cause them big issues in the long run.
TRX no cuestions
Right now I'm looking at my 2003 Ranger with contempt.
LMAO!
I’m a Ford guy but if I were picking a truck for $77,000, between these two, I would have a hard time not buying that 702HP V8!!!! That’s a serious power train!
Ford really really shot themselves in the foot not using a Coyote in the Raptor. It makes 480hp in the Mustang WITHOUT forced induction, that's more than 450 lol
@@jldude84 if the coyote was put in the raptor it would not make 480hp in it. Sure the mustang 5.0 makes 480hp, but the f150 5.0 is slightly modified for truck duty and reliability.
Same with the 2.3 ecoboost mustang and 2.3 ranger. The 2.3 mustang makes 310 hp while the ranger only makes 270hp. The ranger is tuned for reliability and truck duty, and also has a modified crank, and mustang is built for performance.
Bruh 🙌🏽
I can't wait for the Tesla Cybertruck to lineup with these. It's actually less expensive and more powerful.
@Randy James Violation fines are from their EcoDiesels not their supercharged motors
but does the RAM have a sound generator? Oh that's right it doesn't need one.
"Tommy, what's that sound" Shame, it's the sound of shame.
I would choose a V6 Raptor over a V8 TRX anyday. It quite obvious that the Raptor is better at doing what its meant to. The TRX might hit all the right notes power wise but its still shaded in ability by a much older platform
@@saudabrahams The ram has a much more sophisticated suspension and horse power it’s better in every aspect and the raptor has an outdated look hasn’t hanged much a small engine and small amount of weak horsepower
@@saudabrahams it’s overall as a stock truck is really impressive and a more up to date look love it or hate it even ford lovers said their disappointed with the interior of the Raptors compared to the Ram Trx
@@edgarrodriguez5436 you cant really compare a 2015 model f150 vs a brand new 2021 trx when it comes to looks interior etc. How do you think chrysler/dodge built the trx? They based it on the raptor. Not that hard to do. So when the raptor supercharged v8 comes out what will be your excuse?
@@frankg323 i mean that raptor is a 2019 the model has been out for years and the changes aren’t noticeable despite it being a special edition of ford
Tommy-“So it augments the engine note on the inside”

That just kills me
Which is better to live in? This will be your home under Biden.
8:15 those Performance pages took so long they just moved on.
Lol oof
😂😂😂
For 77k I’d go for the TRX. I’d rather have that 700hp than Baja capability. I’d use the 700hp every day vs driving in sand dunes
That would also be my choice 😉.
"I'd use the 700hp every day" - how hard is your drive to work?! 😁
@@rkalla Do you live in Texas? :P
@ Hugh Jinvaney Dream On Pal Cause you cant afford 77K !
@@thunderbolt5354 I can, but ok.
"You drive the truck typically from the inside...." epic comment!
Had a dealer tell me that when I was shopping for a truck in the 90s. Didn't have the color I wanted so he was trying to sell me another color with that logic.
@@spuddoright1970 Good effort :-)
True but deep down you know everyone outside the truck is hearing how lame it sounds
haha yeah when he said that i was (no shit..)
I don't know why I keep finding myself watching videos of a truck that costs as much as I make in a year... never going to happen, but its good to have dreams
Just finance it for 8 years
You make 70k a year? I make 40k a year and I can almost afford one. Just save money.
@@Encourageable the American way lol
@@2011buddylee He wants a truck that will last more than 10k miles.
I watch these videos for a year now but I do not make even 1k a year.
Sad...😔😔😔
Just traded my 17 mustang gt for a raptor and I don’t regret it at all! I love the raptor so much, I look forward too driving it always! 10/10 on the raptor. As a huge ford fan, I will give dodge credit on the trx, they sure did a hell of a job on that truck! But personally for me, the raptor wins it!
TRX better enjoy it while it lasts, new raptor is loading
Yeah, tons of people actually ignoring that especially trx fan
I heard rumors of a supercharged 5.2 V8. I think they should put the 6.2 thats in the old raptors into the new raptors, add a supercharger and call it good.
2022 Raptor will have the GT350 v8 720-770 hp as and option starting at 60k for extended cab.
Trx get ready to see tail lights again
@@Dirtyharry70585 Oh awesome! Gonna be leavin TRX's in the dust
I think the fact that the current raptor will still truly outperform the TRX offroad says a lot. A new gen isn’t even needed to truly be better than the TRX but there’s a lot of dummy’s who only value numbers on paper which is fine because Ford will just come out with a raptor that has stupid power too. It’s not that hard to do 😂
Great review , but I love the Ford
You must also like the taste of dust.
@@redpilledpatriot8484 jajajaja you can say whatever you want , that doesn’t change my mind about it
@@usmc291 The RAM is a much more modern and powerful option. Anyone that isn’t old and just stuck on Ford as a brand is going to choose the RAM on this one.
@@mattbrawner7888 I understand that, I never said ram was a bad option for my it’s more brand loyalty, I drive. 2020 STX 4x4 I wish I could have one of those two trucks lol 😂
@@usmc291 I’m not brand loyal. Sometimes good vehicles come out from many brands. It’s all about the nicest experience to me. The interior is definitely a huge deal these days too and Ford is work truck barebones. We want huge screens and full lcd dashes, nice materials etc.
The TRX engine is going to sell trucks. Let's see what Ford comes back with.
Let's hope Ram can persuade them to get off their tiny turbo engine obsession.
@@jldude84 well ford sells more trucks for a reason. Also it’s a government thing dude
I mean... they do have a godzilla. If they don't utilize that, it'll be a missed opportunity
@@jamieruhland9362 True. But if you had any intention to supercharge anything the 5.0 is plenty. 7.3 supercharged would be just.....vulgar display of power lol
Just the way I love my power!! Bring on the whipplezilla!!
I’m still rocking with the Raptor. You’re getting a Proven Baja truck straight off the production line.

@@BombsAwayMineCraft sorry meant to reply to the dude with a Raptor
Lol, maybe if you drive it at 30mph all the time. Mine was at best 12, because it's a Raptor and not a civic.
Gm watching this like 👁👄👁
I love v8's and thats why I'd pick the ram.. but give me a v8 raptor with the new f150 nose, and that ram is old news real fast
Ford Raptor always will be the Original... Take 10 years to Ram to study the Raptor and come out with some competitor truck.
It’s not even a competition, the ram is so much better and I am a raptor owner. Will be trading it in for the TRX.
@@nicholasdrago7138 Ok. Still a copy of the Raptor and taked 10 years to come out with the TRX

@@nicholasdrago7138 no offense, but I hope there are lots like you, and also if/when the gt500 raptor drops so maybe there will be a surplus of the ecoboost raptors on used lots and maybe I could actually afford one LOL in the mean time maybe make a TH-cam channel about your tuck or the trx if/when you get one so I can live vicariously through you HAHA
Yes just as it took ford 20 years for the BRONCO
I give the Ford my two thumbs up. I prefer the super cab version for trails.
I love how everyone forgets about the 2014 Roush Raptor which is a 6.2 and a supercharger, it might only have 590hp but it’s still awesome!!
It's crazy how now a days we say "only 590hp" back in high school we were dreaming about being able to drive 400hp.
Considering how long it was that Ford had no competition, I can't believe how good the raptor is...
That’s part of why they haven’t had competition until now
The sound of the Ram TRX when you put your foot down is amazingly awesome. That's a very special truck.
I want a new Chevy pickup made exactly they way they made them in the 70s and 80s the msrp would be about 20k
There’s no replacement for displacement, Ram all day, even at 10 MPG.
Not even Dodge's largest displacement engine.
huge Ford guy super impressed with that Trx and I can’t wait for the gt500 raptor
Ford needs to pull their head out of their ass. The sooner they get the Raptor with the gt500 engines out the sooner I won’t have to look at a bunch of ram fanboys always talking about how the TRX is better because it’s a V8.
@@justinanderson181 LMAOOO facts. Don’t worry tho, Ford is bringing back the big block V8. Supposedly a 6.8 L V8
Not gonna happen.
Hell yes.....
@@justinanderson181 awww you sound insecure lol
Okay 8:51 thats a UFO landing you guys missed because you two were focused on performance pages not loading....
What a trip!
The TRX would do better with Lunch Control, where it automatically drives you to Snarf’s at lunchtime.
lol
Love the dynamic between pops and son, very informative video, comedic timing was A+, covered everything you would need to make a good decision on which truck to purchase, Honestly one of the best video on these trucks on TH-cam. At the end of the day I'm with pops. Great videos fellas
If I can stomach the fuel bill, TRX is my final answer. Heck, who am I fooling? My gen 2 ram gets those mpg numbers with less than 1/3 the hp, so...!
Hands down the 🦖
Ram never ran the baja 1000
ya..it doesn't need to bcz is already too good to be provin.
Smaller displacement with more power, i.e. Ford ecoboosts means less reliability for long term.
Lmao vs a fiat
@@ceciljohnson2157 - Hey Cec, what is the failure rate on the Hellcat powertrain? Has FCA had massive problems with them over the years? If so, I sure haven't heard about it. I've defiantly heard guys complain about the EcoBoosts...
Please don't stop the game show voice. That is the reason why I love watching the show 🙏
I have a 2019 Raptor bought it brand new for 65k, I'm doing full exhaust with catted down pipe, and a Cobb Tuning stage 2 with new intercooler/intake. Itll sound super loud & have close to 600+HP to the wheels. Ram has a nice truck though. 👍

I really like my adaptive cruise control. Don’t understand why Ram makes that option so expensive when other manufacturers are making it standard
Thats the only dislike with Ram is that they will charge you for more options that should come standard like other vehicles.
It might have something to do with ensuring they can have a 700+hp Ram priced the same as a raptor - to sway Ford buyers.
The adaptive cruise control is also an option in the Raptor. They spec’d the TRX to mach the Raptor’s price point. For the money, the Raptor comes with way more daily amenities.
Right? Toyota won’t give the Tacoma rear discs because of cost cutting, but adaptive cruise is standard.
@@KTMcaptain I’m now at 90k miles on my Tacoma drums and I havnt touched em
For those who haven’t drove a raptor in the desert you don’t need 702 hp you can’t fully use the 400 the raptor puts down. Until ram proves baja they can keep there shit wagon for the same price.
Yes because so many customers actually run it in the Baja.
I’ve owned few FCA vehicles. I didn’t have much luck with the realizability. Very interested in how the TRX will hold up long term
It won’t. But I still want one! 😂
@@someonethatwatchesyoutube2953 😂
It’s really close for me, although I lean more towards Ford, I think ram did a fantastic job on the TRX. However, If Ford drops a 5.0 10 speed in a Raptor it’d be over for the TRX. The V8 is all the raptor is missing in my opinion.
4:54, wait...for $77K you don't get parking sensors??!?!?!?
If I had 77k to blow, I would buy a 1972 k-20 and a cabin in the mountains.
Ok, Arnold!
I have a 79 k20 and a cabin lol
Hell ya!
Trx what a beast 💪
Same price? Yeah TRX all day long.
That are comparing a base model
TRX and a high trim Raptor. It is still a cool comparison though.
@@chuckersw that’s not the base model TRX, it has an option package had you actually paid attention.
@@josephwhiskeybeale the fact remains that the Raptor is fully loaded and the TRX is not. If the TRX was even the same spec as the Raptor it would jump thousands in price. A fully loaded TRX is in the 90k range and that’s not including dealer mark ups
@@Matts000 the fact remains that the TRX isn’t base, and if you modified a Raptor to match the power of the TRX you’d be pushing $100k, so there is no logical reason you should pretend your argument is valid.
@@josephwhiskeybeale Downpipe’s full exhaust custom tune and a turbo kit. There you go, your now making as much power or more in the Raptor as the TRX and I can promise you it wouldn’t cost 27k to do that. Use your head, you sound like a fan boy!
77k lol damn that’s a deal compared to the $25k markup in Southern California
Come to texas, California sucks. They take your money and drop homeless people and n the streets. Who the hell thinks that’s nice 🤷🏻♂️

@@jabroni6199 Probably because at the most I have a simple need for a basic truck.
@@platinumuschannel The gladiator is more of an off road vehicle than either of these two. I agree, as I would take these over a gladiator, but if you need to go off road, the gladiator is where it's at.
@@gasolinediesel972 that depends on what type of wheeling you’re into. You want to tackle the desert and the dunes, the gladiator would get demolished by either of these. If you’re more into rock crawling or trail riding, the gladiator would demolish these.
The gladiator will go places these can't but these can't go anywhere a gladiator can't. There just faster is all
I definitely lean more toward the Raptor. Big numbers are nice, but in daily driving the Raptor will be just as effective, cost less, and still be as capable off road.
Just as effective in daily driving? Pull up next to the Trx at a light? A 2020 f250 2wd regular cab with the 6.2 beats the raptor in a drag race?

Great initial opening review. Looking forward to the year long review hopefully with periodic updates to possibly include towing, off-roading, and maybe 1/4 mile matchup. Absolutely love the father son comradery!
Great banter back and forth; Reminds me of hanging with my dad. Great video as well. Thanks for great comparisons as always!! Be curious to see how the TRX holds up over time.
i thought you said the starting price for the ram was going to be in the 80 plus thousand range? also you overpaid for your raptor. by about 10 grand.

What is the value of that engine upgrade at dealer prices? What would Ford charge for an option for a supercharged coyote engine? Put that money into the options for the RAM and that would be apples to apples and the RAM would be miles ahead. Compare a $85k+ Ram to this $77k Raptor that would be apples to apples....(edit) Just optioned out a TRX on their website with every option mentioned on the Ford and and then some and it was $84k. So would you Ford guys pay the extra $7k for this Raptor with a 700+hp Coyote? Yes, yes you would. RAM is the better truck, for now.
For $77k you can have 450 hp or you can have 702 hp...

Lol the TRX is nothing. Sad it took them 10 years and still hasn’t proven anything. Take it to the Baja and see if it can make it.
@@rau4329 omg that Baja comment is so overplayed. I’d rather have the v8 then that Honda Accord sounding engine. That’s where Ford screwed up and most fan boys sat like sheep and ate it up.

Hell ill admit I actually like fords but just prefer a v8 in my vehicles, which is one reason why I never got the gen 2 raptor.
@@dolivares81 how can something win when it hasn’t proven anything? People don’t care what engine is in it if it preforms and guess what it does. Unlike the TRX that hasn’t done anything in the 10 years it has to copy the raptor. Putting .1 more on every is nothing. Once the TRX proves it better they just having a v8 they ya it wins.

Wait. The last video the ram was over $80k
none of these will ever be available in India but love your videos!!! amazing content!!!
There's gonna be a lot of used raptors for sale!
There has been since they came out...not very great trucks. Their original power/mpg ratio wasn't extremely impressive like the TRX now is. My SLT ram with a 5.7 has fun with raptors, they aren't that great. The TRX is lacking in some areas, but overall, their goal wasn't to make the perfect truck, it was to make our 10 year old matchbox/hot wheels toys a reality...and to embaress Ford a little for disrespecting V8 lovers by trying to sell us on green deal shit. Lol!
I ain’t selling mine. No way
@@gl3618 please point me , cause they still have mark ups . Every one thats for sale gets bought just as quick as there for sale . I hate when people post untrue facts 😒 hell i want one . Also most people kno if u have a turbo car from factory there so restricted to pass through laws and make it reliable that soon as u u restrict those things 700 is easy.
@@randyjr3479 so many sofT ford fans
@@randyjr3479 and you're correct, they usually are marked up...with body damage from getting hit with stuffed animals. Sorry, I didn't specify.
TRX all day
TRX all the but in all honesty both these truck are nothing more than Mall Crawlers for the rich!!!!
Most raptors I see are in the city with a business man in a suit and tie behind the wheel. Lol. I mean it’s their money they can buy and like whatever they want but most raptors will never see dirt. These off road full size and more wide trucks like these 2 are amazing machines but just too big for most trails that people do and all that horsepower means nothing on a mountain shelf road and all that width and length is such a pain with switchbacks on mountains or just tighter narrower trails in general. My 4runner and other Tacoma’s i wheel with barely fit through most trails we go on and definitly gets scratches and little dents from trees and branches and rocks since it’s so tight. If you live out west and in the dessert, now that is what these were built for but most people don’t have access to bomb the dessert or sand dunes.
Thanks Tommy now I can’t unsee the unibrow!
2020 dodge vs 2015 ford raptor. well raptor ran baja out of the factory dodge nope
Ya, a 2015 Ford is nothing against a 2020 TRX.
TRX. "Everything you need and nothing you don't"
I'll take my 2020 FX4 for 30k less.. Haha
The Raptor offers more bang for the buck
The real bang is that fire breathing v8
I disagree, coil rear suspension, better interior, and the fire breathing hellcat engine with 252 more hp, to me that's alot more bang for your buck.
definitely, and they are comparing a 2020 to a 2021.
Yeah, because a better interior and a better motor is less bang for your buck.
Definitely. Much lighter, has 3.0 bypass shocks instead of 2.5 non bypass, doesn’t use anti squat truck linkage geometry that will make the suspension not want to compress and under power which causes bucking, you get a better 4wd system, and the weight distribution is better having a PROVEN Baja 1000 power plant aluminum v6 instead of a boat anchor handing over the front axle.
800a Raptor, 59k, AND 15-16 mpg. Nuff said. Supercharger does sound Ah-mazing though.
100% agree, but when you look at the market, almost nobody buys base level trucks except for company fleets, so when you compare similar priced examples such as this, for me ill take the ram at 77k.
@@berkalper4742 you’re comparing a base to a well upgraded truck. Throw the same equipment on one, or remove from the other, and they have a substantial price disparity.
.
It’s like saying I’d buy an srt4 neon over an entry level 3 series. One is nicer and the other is much faster. But if you buy the e46 m3 you get more power and nicer just costs way more.
I get 13mpg
@@KTMcaptain but a base trx is much nicer than a base raptor, comes with much more power and most importantly even the cheapest rams have better interiors than everything but top tier Ford trucks. With all the plastic, even mid tier Ford trucks feel quite cheap on the inside from my experience renting them for work.
@@berkalper4742 that’s why I didn’t quote the base price. But the Ford has an aluminum body that’s lighter. It has bigger 3.0 bypass shocks vs 2.5 non bypass shocks. It’s more efficient. It has a better 4wd system with a torsen.
.
More power for a lot more money, but it doesn’t perform better where they’re designed. Look at the Baja 1000 results. UTVs are coming in before some trophy trucks now even with 1/5th the power or less.
.
Give me the lighter truck with bigger shocks and better drivetrain if I’m going to hunt whoops.
.
Give me the trx if I’m going to hunt groceries and handbags at the mall 🤣
I'm a Ford guy but I'll have to give it to the Ram for having a supercharged V8
I'm all about the V8
Raptor all the way all day and night!
No turbo lag? Now who's stuck in the 80s?
You should have 5 star tune it :)
More like HENNESSY PERFORMANCE!
What will they do? Maybe get a few more ponies modifying fuel and spark tables. Turbochargers adjust boost pressure on the fly and get literally force more or less air in depending on what the ecu commands. Much easier to gain power through a tune. You need pulleys to get more whir out of the supercharger.
@@KTMcaptain adds over a hundred horsepower actually
@@rbanker94 off a different fuel?
@@KTMcaptain my bad I was referring to a tune on the ecoboost not the hellcat
I went with the raptor and love it!!
Ford should’ve never taken the v8 out of the Raptor. It’s still a great truck but a v8 would make it even better
One will be fun for 5 years one will be fun for 10 years
Great comparison, guys! I’d would go with the TRX just because of the newness if I’m honest. I have a 2018 F-150 and I will wait for the new Raptor, though.
I like them both and we have a raptor.
I loved this video it had me laughing out loud! I love the design of the TRX I think it’s really sleek and sporty even for how big it is. But overall I’d take the tech and nimbleness of the raptor still if I could afford either one
77k? Buy used raptor and build it past both of these? Or make what chevy hasnt
So many brand fan boys in the comment section. Its laughable
Ram all the way, No comparison here...
The Ram is where it’s at.
@edgar medrano yep
@edgar medrano So the Raptor is just a POS FORD then.
You need to keep the trucks for 100,000 miles, then tell us what is the more reliable truck. Keep up the great work.
*1,000,000 miles
My friends raptor only gets 14 to the gallon that’s not much better than the trx but the trx has 250 more hp
Ford is outdated. I'd take TRX. Will be interesting to see what Ford does next.
