Which is better: the Ram 1500 TRX or the Ford F-150 Raptor R?
The Ram 1500 TRX is better than the Ford F-150 Raptor R. This is due to its more impressive engine, design, and comfort. The Ram TRX is the better option because it comes with the most powerful engine under a 1500 right from the get go. However, to get an engine that compares to the power of the Ram TRX in a Ford pickup, one must spring for the Ford Raptor R, which starts at about $110,000, while the TRX is around $86,000. The Ram TRX has just one engine, a supercharged 6.2 liter hemi V-8, also used in the ever popular Dodge Hellcat. This engine is powerful, it outputs 702 horsepower and 650 pound feet of torque. The Ford F-150 Raptor however starts with a less powerful, 3.5 liter EcoBoost V-6 that outputs a meager 450 horsepower. To compete with the more powerful TRX, Ford took a page out of their handbook and borrowed an engine from a Shelby Mustang for the Raptor R. It has a 5.2 liter V-8 that outputs 700 horsepower and 640 pound feet of torque. Again, this engine comes with a heavy price tag, and is significantly more expensive than the TRX. The Ram TRX is a more powerful truck from the start, with a larger interior, and more comfort than the Ford Raptor R.
