Video: Ford F-150 Raptor vs. RamTrucks 1500 TRX off-road comparison:
At the outset, the comparison seemed lopsided due to the F-150 Raptor’s roughly $10,000 lower as-tested price and lack of a V-8 engine. Despite these differences, we found the Raptor and TRX remarkably similar in many areas. Not only are both trucks only available in crew-cab, short-bed configurations, both have independent rear suspensions, driver-adjustable adaptive dampers, laughably loud exhausts, and four-wheel-drive systems with center differentials that allow selectable all-wheel drive.
During our test, the only real challenges either truck faced was the narrowness of some trails, not the obstacles in their paths. The dimensions of both trucks proved the biggest challenge, not traction. The Ford may be narrower than the Ram, but at 86.8 inches, it’s still wider than a Hummer H1. The size means both trucks are better suited to open outdoor environments, like open desert.
What about the differences? The lighter and smaller Ford felt more toy-like, where the Ram behaved like a ballistic missile, per Connor Hoffman. We also found it fitting that both dinosaur-themed trucks are likely the last of their kind, as future versions will likely incorporate some form of electrification . Watch the video for more detail.
