Finnegan Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram invites you to compare the rugged power of the new 2021 Ram TRX to the Ford Raptor. If you’re searching for a legit off-road, high-performance pickup truck then you truly only have two options: the Raptor and the TRX. While it’s correct that every brand has an off-road pickup, none can copy the horsepower and toughness of these two blue-chip trucks. Fine, Ford was first with the Raptor but we believe we’ve saved the best for last with the TRX. This one-on-one clash is years in the making, so let’s get right to the specs to determine the king of specialty performance pickups.

Performance Specs

Formerly driven by a rowdy V8, the Raptor is now powered by a 3.5L EcoBoost V6 that produces 450 horsepower and 500lb-ft. of torque. It is a notable setup, but it’s lacking the visceral opera that can only come from a large V8 engine. The RAM TRX is powered by a Supercharged HEMI V8 that produces 702 horsepower and 650lb-ft of torque. The Hellcat engine is appropriately titled because the combo of the supercharger whine mixed with the V8 engine sounds positively devilish. It’s absolutely special and should be listened to personally.

TRX vs Raptor Styling Specs

The composition of the RAM TRX and Raptor is a little different compared to your average truck. The Ford Raptor features Trail Control™, 17-inch cast aluminum wheels, Electronic-Locking Rear Differential with 4.10 Rear-End, and Off-Road FOX Live Valve Racing Shox™. The TRX has performance drive modes, 18-inch alloy wheels, massive 35-inch tires, and the all-new Bilstein® Black Hawk® e2 shock system. This new technology is the most complex system we’ve ever installed on a production pickup truck and it’s only on the RAM TRX.

Ram TRX vs Ford Raptor Technology Highlights

As impressive as these pickups are, they are equally equipped with impressive tech. The Ford Raptor has a Rear Camera with Dynamic Hitch Assist, AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™, and Curve Control as just a part of its standard features. You can move up to tech like a 360-degree cam, Pro Trailer Backup Assist, Adaptive Cruise, a Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Coverage, and more. The TRX Launch Edition will come with Adaptive Cruise Control, Deployable Bed-Step, Dual-Pane Sunroof, and Lane Keep Assist. Available upgrades include a HUD, a Trailer Reverse Steering Control System, Surround View Camera, and more. When viewing all the factors it’s clear to conclude that the RAM TRX is the new King of performance pickups.
