Inside these trucks seat five comfortably, though the rear seat backs on the Ram recline for even more comfort on long road trips. The F-150 is more brick-like with a blocky, punched-out stance, while the TRX is more swept back with curves. The TRX and Raptor swallow a Nissan Rogue in their shadows.

When a car or crossover SUV sees a Raptor or TRX coming up on its rear bumper it just might scare the driver into moving out of the way. They are wider, angrier versions of their lesser, more work-oriented selves. The Ram TRX and Ford Raptor both look mean and tower over other large trucks. The Raptor tops that with a payload capacity of 1,400 pounds and towing capability of 8,200 pounds. The TRX hauls a maximum payload of 1,310 pounds and tows up to 8,100 pounds. The Raptor is slightly wider at 8 feet to the TRX’s 7.3-foot width, but the TRX’s 5-foot-7 bed is slightly longer than the Raptor’s 5-foot-5 bed.ĭespite their suspension setups being designed to tackle Baja instead of the job site, the TRX and Raptor are both capable of doing work when duty calls.

We’ll get a better sense of the Raptor’s latest refinements this summer, but there are no losers when it comes to suspension tech here.ĭimensionally the trucks are similar with four full doors and 12-foot wheelbases. In day-to-day driving both will provide a soft ride that mops up the imperfections in the road. The concept with both sets of shocks is the same, using variable compression and resistance to overheating while going over off-road whoops at high rates of speed. Raptors ride on electronic Fox racing shocks while TRXs ride on Bilstein e2 Blackhawk active dampers. The TRX has an impressive 13-inches of front-wheel travel and 14-inches in the rear, but the Raptor tops it with 14-inches front and 15-inches of rear-wheel travel. The trucks ride on long-travel suspension and a five-link setup with coil springs in the rear. Both trucks can be optioned with bead-lock capable wheels and both are going to get you where you want to go. The Raptor rides on smaller 17-inch wheels wrapped in 35- or 37-inch tires (the latter is optional). TRXs ride on 18-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in 35-inch Goodyear all-terrain tires. We'll see how the redesigned Raptor compares when it goes on sale later this summer. Mash the throttle and the front end jumps up while the rear end squats on its soft active shocks as it shifts all that 6,350-pound weight to lunge forward with gut-dropping acceleration. It could scare the neighbors (or tick them off) on cold starts. We’ll see if it holds the line against the forthcoming Raptor R.Īround town the TRX is hilariously audacious to drive. The TRX can run from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Expect the new one to match that or improve slightly upon it. The outgoing 2020 Raptor ran from 0-60 mph in 5.1 seconds, according to Ford. The TRX wins the cylinder count, battle of the (power) bands, and likely the power output, with ease. While the twin-turbo V-6 in the Raptor sounds good, the supercharged V-8 in the TRX will wake the dead.
Both like to drink the good stuff, 91 octane. Turns out having fewer cylinders is a good thing when it comes to feeding the beast. The TRX chugs gas with ratings of 10 mpg city, 14 highway, and 12 combined.
The Raptor doesn’t have EPA fuel economy ratings, yet, but the outgoing model had not so good ratings of 12 mpg city, 18 highway, and 16 combined.
