2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R vs 2022 Ram 1500 TRX
Comparison Visual Off-Road Driving, Exterior & Interior Design

The heart of Raptor R is a new 5.2-liter supercharged V8 engine that delivers 700 horsepower and 640 lb.-ft. of torque to give it incredible desert-running power. Ford Performance enlisted the most powerful engine in its lineup, optimizing it for Raptor-level off-road performance and Built Ford Tough® durability. The result is the most torque-dense supercharged V8 yet in a production pickup.

Ford Performance recalibrated this V8 engine’s supercharger and installed a new pulley to optimize its power for off-road use, increasing torque delivery at the low-end and mid-range. These changes help Raptor R offer more performance at the speeds where customers spend most of their time driving.

Ford Performance upgraded the base truck’s transmission and driveline to help ensure Raptor R can smoothly handle what this V8 can throw at it.

Raptor R delivers a 10-speed SelectShift® transmission with improved calibration. The truck features a new front axle with a more robust, higher-strength carrier casting and an aluminum-ribbed structural cover to manage the powertrain’s added torque, as well as a unique larger-diameter aluminum driveshaft. A new, specially tuned torque converter with heavy-duty turbine damper and four-pinion rear output assembly makes the truck even better equipped to transfer torque and provide a smoother powertrain feel when driving both on- and off-road.

The five-link rear suspension features extra-long trailing arms to better maintain axle position on rough terrain, a Panhard rod and 24-inch coil springs – all optimized for outstanding stability while traversing desert terrain at high speeds. Advanced FOX Live Valve shocks are tuned to balance ride quality and roll control on- and off-road.

Rated at 702 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque, the 6.2-litre supercharged HEMI V-8 engine powers the Ram TRX to a top speed of 190 km/h. Combined with a high-torque-capacity TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, the Ram TRX delivers a new level of performance: 0-96 kilometres (km/h) in 4.5 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds at 174 km/h.

A proven and reliable high-performance engine, the 6.2-litre supercharged HEMI V-8 engine delivers top output for extended driving sessions without degradation in performance.

The 2021 Ram TRX benefits from up to 813 millimetres (32 inches) of water fording, up to 3,674 kilograms (8,100 pounds) towing and a maximum payload capacity of 594 kilograms (1,310 pounds).

I am a lifelong Ford guy and wore out my Gen 1 Raptor waiting on Ford to bring back the V8. Went over to the dark side and bought a 2022 TRX in October and still smiling every morning on cold start. Aside from the power the Ram is the best riding truck I have ever driven. Wife says it rides smother than her Navigator. Would be hard to switch back to Ford right now.

Both are awesome, I don't care for brand loyalty fanboyism.

[ALASKANKIDD.]

You can easily tell the raptor has a higher rpm in the desert 🔥

[FishingtheThinBlueLine]

Love my First Gen Raptor. Best truck I’ve ever owned. The TRX has too much whine from the supercharger for me. Prefer the deeper exhaust tones.

[mocleaning]

For me Ford raptor the best I have the gen 2 but I want v8

[scarroll]

Ford really shit the bed with the Raptor R. They should’ve made it 750 hp+

This thing still can’t beat the TRX.

[gaelesquivies]

Ami me gusta más el diseño de la raptor

[MattGottem]

Ford needs a new design for the raptor. Looks so simple and plain while the trx looks mean and aggressive

[carsandstuff]

I'm not a Ford fan but the 2017 Ford Raptors look WAY better than the new ones. The headlights on the new ones are ugly as hell. Also, why haven't we gotten these in Forza Horizon 5 yet?

[mpoellnitz]

Bout time they slapped a fuckin V8 in that F-150‼️😂😂 FORD RAPTOR OVER THAT DODGE RAM ANY DAY ‼️ #BleedFordBlue

[CoyoteFTW]

Ford Raptor anyday over the fiat truck

[jeffrevill]

The only way to vote is to buy your truck of choice

[JeezyStoner]

Dodge gonna come out w a second version of the trx with probably 807 hp. Dodge really made raptor step there game up. Dodge all the way !!!

[rafaeldiaz]

Sigue siendo la mejor tecnología fuerza suspensión y belleza la trx ram así de

[stanggang]

My pick is the Raptor R. I don't care what anyone says but Dodge is garbage.

[chrisgeist]

Careful over those whoopties with the raptor. You might crack the frame. Lol

[Mursedave]

TRX looks so much beefier though! And that SC WHINE!

[ephraimabotsi]

The whining sound from trx makes it inferior to raptor v8
