- Which super truck is the best on the market? The 700hp Raptor R or The 702hp Ram TRX? In todays video we do a comparison between the two, looks, interior, motor, performance etc.
The 2023 Raptor R weighs 6000lbs vs the 6500lbs for the 2023 RAM TRX. This gives the Raptor the power to weight ratio, but does that mean it's a faster truck? We find out in a head to head drag race.

I like both trucks, and they are just so badass. IF I had to pick I would just pick the Raptor R since Im a Ford guy
I've been a Ford guy all my life (found your channel looking a Fusions), so I'm biased towards the Raptor, but I think you can't really go wrong with either one, just preference at this point.
Same here FORD TOUGH BABY!! But I disagree the fiat/stallanshit is a terrible choice!
Why is fiat a bad choice? I’m a little ignorant about these things so I would just like to know honestly lol.
@@tylerwilliams9664 He's referring to the car brand branch. Ram belongs to the Fiat Chrysler group.
@@danielkomiyama6656 Thanks Daniel. Is there something wrong with Stelantis that people should know about? Or is it just a preference of Ford since it’s an American company?
@@Eroc556 just upset like all ford people for the past 30 years dominated by Ram/Mopar.
2023 trx has a lot of interior updates including the fully digital odometer / cluster and new trim package.
Thanks for including me, I had an awesome time!
Think I still like the TRX more. Looks, sound.
Sounds real good losing to the raptor
@Alice Pooper all these races are inaccurate. Both these trucks launch the same in all other channels but here it barley even sqeuled
Brake boosting apparently hinders the Raptors launch. I've heard 4A and slamming the gas gives you better times or something like that. Also, I've heard it's best to launch the TRX in sport mode over Baja on the street.
The driver of the trx was horrible
I have one of these trucks, you don’t want to be in 4A cause it’s not 4wd until the truck detects tire spin it’s always engaged but not active if you know what I mean, 4HI is best for launching, I boost up to about 8psi which is about 2k rpm, and I’ll get around 3.8-4.2 0-60 depending on the surface. Granted my truck is making near 650 whp, which is probably around 750-800 at the crank
I’ve had my TRX for about a year now. Absolutely love it
My favorite 2 trucks...
Still undecided .
Both are BEAUTIFUL BEASTS😍
Great show thanks. 2 amazing great builds from the factory. Maybe the tires make the difference? TRX for me, power on Hemi!
When you start the Raptor, the exhaust defaults in quiet or regular mode. You have to manually put the exhaust into Baja mode every time you start the truck. Very few people know this when comparing sound.
Yeah same with my Camaro SS 1LE. It could be a gov bs regulation, cuz it keeps the steering mode on Sport.
Yea I was laughing the entire time he was complaining, I have seen many people review these trucks and the Raptor at full boar sounds way meaner than he is showing in this video, it clearly sounded muffled because it was XD
I love the way a Dodge TRX street stance is so mean looking but I am a Ford Raptor fan through and through. My 2011 Raptor has a mean street stance with 6" lift and 37" and wider tires. I can't wait to get my new Raptor R and feel the power. Love the comparison of the two.
Awesome job and maybe even now made me a more of a TRX fan? Ok definitely an admirer of it's beefy mean exhaust for sure! 😃
For real!
I love the trx as I bought one after trading in my f150. But I do wish they had a 2wd only option instead of auto 4wd. You can buy a tazer and plug it in and sort of force the truck into 2wd which is cool but still sucks you have to buy the plug in to do it. At the end of it all, just awesome we live in a day where we have modern muscle car/truck era.
So the Ford can do 2wheel (ie burnouts) and the trx you have to buy a plug in to do burnouts? Ignorant question I know, but when I get ignorant money I'll do ignorant things in my truck
Great video. I remember when TRL. raced the trx vs the raptor v6 I knew it wasn’t a good comparison. But now it’s a good comparison on motors same hrp. Great content. Love your videos
I figured you had the raptor in 4 high to help wheel spin launch, on those rolling starts try the raptor in 2 high instead. You say on the torque steer when launching, make some runs in 2 high & see if it's a difference.
Remember, the 5.2 is a duel overhead cam. It sounds different then a push rod engine like the TRX
Because they're running the raptor in quiet mode🤯 that noise he can hear is a thing called a supercharger
I currently have a Gen 2 Raptor and I fell in love with the TRX when it first came out. Ford should have really done a supercharged V8 on the Gen 3 from the beginning. Really like the TRX screen but overall would take time Raptor R in a heartbeat. Thanks for the comparison.
It was nice seeing you guys drive through the area. At the red light, I saw the Ford and Dodge go by. I knew it had to be you. Sorry if I caught you off guard.
The guy in the black F250.
Bro… I haven’t even watched the video yet and I’m damn excited your channel has the comparison video!
Awesome video. I started the process of ordering a TRX before you made this video. Hopefully you get to keep the Raptor R a bit longer for a bit more comparison.
I would really like to see you two swap trucks and race them again. Just to see if there is a difference. With the Raptor weighing less, but having larger tires than the TRX, it does appear the Raptor is a bit quicker. I would just love to see the drivers swap trucks. So do ANOTHER video.
lol. These are auto trucks. It's not like the are manual
@@beyondthedetails Launching a TRX takes practice and can make a difference in the initial start, So your Auto transmission vs manual transmission statement does not apply to my desire to see them switch drivers post.
I personally like the TRX and I feel like the race has to be redone with someone with a quicker response time in the TRX to make it a truly even comparison 😂
Excellent video Mike!
Not sure if it would have really made a difference, but since Brian isn't used to the TRX or raptor I think you guys should have did all the same tests again but swap trucks. I think it would be a little more fair in my opinion since you are more used to them. Not to mention since the TRX isn't his maybe he wasn't giving it his all in fear of damaging something. I don't know, just my 2 cents. Both seem like great trucks that I'd never be able to afford xD
I don't think they are allowed to swap trucks. Only Mike is allowed to drive the Ford press vehicle.
He’s very biased that’s why
Yh cause that ram did like a 4.4 0-60😂 we all know with no LC it's a 3.9
Doesn’t matter. The Raptor is faster.
@@843OutdoorsSC not what i saw in most reviews
Although I think the Ram looks more aggressive. I'm a Ford guy,so it's Raptor for me
Trx is definitely my favorite, sound, powertrain, looks and interior. And it's not a ford I've had bad luck with fords.
Always makes me happy to see Brian in the videos
TRX looks, sound, suspension, but RaptoR's weight! You could see on the last run that R is bit faster, most likely because of 500lb difference and/or 10speed.
The Raptor has better suspension for off road, I take my Raptor off road in arizona. And trust me, TRXs are just too heavy and cant keep up.
@@jibrilthegreat35Raptors are sloppy and wallow around on road. TRX has 90% of the off road capability but drives way better on the street where 99% of driving is actually done
@@epap1375 I drive my raptor 60% off road, trust me TRX isnt 90 % as capable as raptor off road, its more like 65-70%
@@jibrilthegreat35 You might be part of the 1% then because most I see around here (northeast) are just big family haulers. I think 65-70% is a little harsh. It has similar wheel travel only about an inch less and the suspension is very good. It’s a lot heavier especially upfront but the spring rates and shocks were designed with that weight in mind.
I just like the looks of the TRX better myself. It looks good from every angle and I can’t say that about the Ford.
I’m A Ride Or Die F150 Guy But The TRX Looks So Mean But That Raptor Looks So Slick!!!!
I prefer the TRX for that insane supercharger sound, but can’t go wrong either way.
Power to weight ratio wins every time. Raptor R takes the cake. 🔥
nah
@@jordy7463yah
Gearing is also important
I'd take the trx mainly due to looks in and out also the trx doesn't cost 150k+
Cosmetically the exterior of the TRX I prefer the more aggressive look, Performance wise I like the Raptor R. The During the pulls the TRX wins the exhaust sound but the Raptor R cold start is deeper and I like deeper exhaust sound. I like that you can't hear the exhaust too much in the Raptor R which means Ford did a Great job with the sound deadening for the cab. I've heard lots of electrical problems with Ram trucks. So I would pick the Raptor R over the TRX but if I had the $ I'd buy both.
AutoVlog Awesome Video glad you did a head to head comparison of your TRX and your Loaner Raptor R and I think your TRX is better in every aspect although I do love your Loaner Raptor R and I think Ram needs to make TRX Redeyes
Wowwww!!! I love both of them!!! It is too hard to decide!!! That TRX sound and the quickness of the Rapture R...I am blown away by both!!!
blown away by the 1000K a month car payment on either?
@@meme-yc4ks1000 a month 😂😂😂 try double plus some more for the raptor R
Still the TRX for me
Quick question Mike, if its your last drive, which one of the two would you pick? And, this entails, cruising, jumping and doing all the other crazy fun stuff haha
Raptor is a better riding truck, but TRX is my favorite overall
I own a 2022 TRX and absolutely Love it but if I was in the market I would definitely consider the RaptoR... The upgrades are Sweet and I'm glad Ford didn't alter the body style.... Great looking truck!
Great comparison man but on the pulls yes both pulled the steering on you not just the raptor. But it just shows the power they’re both pushing.
As a former ford fan boy and gen 2 raptor owner, I now have a TRX. Haven’t second guessed that decision once. TRX looks meaner, way nicer interior… annnnnd you can actually buy one at MSRP or lower. Without a long wait. TRX handsdown for me
TRX still my favorite
there are some other reviews where both trucks are on 35 inch tires and the R really smokes the TRX the 10spd is a major advantage over the Dodge 8spd from a dig when they are on the same size tires.
Awesome Video
Both trucks are amazing .
That Raptor R is dope! I have a neighbor that has the TRX and it looks extremely heavy just sitting in the driveway
You deserved this Mike legit got me back into a ford.🎉 A raptor at that 😂
Congrats man. I'm happy enough with my 19 ecoboost f150 . Never had a good truck before this
The TRX ought to be on stock wheels and tires for a true comparison. I’ve got 20x12 on 35’s on my TRX and there is a huge handling difference and a small performance difference between those and the stocks.
Exactly
I like how no one talked about this cute cat in 3:04 that wanted to see the showcase of the 2 beasts that are chilling.
I’ve been waiting for this moment for 2 years now
The TRX has a full float Dana 60 in back, with 3.55 gears I'm not sure in the Ford. Probably a 9.75 ,like the eco boost. I don't know the ratio. I've had the 10 speed Ford & now a 10 speed ZR2. Personally I think the ZF trans in the TRX is stronger & 8 speeds are enough. The 9 & 10 are so close it barely matters. I would love to own either, but I prefer the MOPAR. It's taken a long time for someone to build something that can beat the supercharge 6.2 liter Hemi. The Fords are hard to beat in looks and comfort. The one thing I really like in the TRX is NO start / stop or cylinder de activation junk on the truck. Maybe the "R" is like that too? Good video!!
Too long. Keep the come to 3 to 5 sentences
The 2023 raptors have the no turn off turn on thing
How do you like you ZR2?
@@sean47w7 , I like the ZR2 really well so far. Borla exhaust, catch can, ASS delete. Good power.
Both the Raptor R and the TRX are very fun trucks. And can’t go wrong with either one. I prefer the interior of the Ram a tiny bit over the Ford (well, from watching a video, both in person may be a different story lol) mainly because I just do not like full digital gauges lol
Fords interior does seem more functional though, even with the silly gauges lol
I’m actually glad Ford took a more quiet approach to the supercharger as that whine always sounds like a crying child to my ear (give me a turbo sound over a supercharger any day)
The TRX exhaust does sound a bit better, but it has an aftermarket exhaust vs a stock exhaust on the Ford, so can’t really compare that fairly.
But wow, Ford really did whoop ass with the R in performance!!!
Both are fast as hell, but it’s not even close! Way to go Ford!
I made the same remark about liking analog gauges...I have a 21 Raptor and a TRX and I edge the Ram for interior,...As for the race the TRX driver sucked lol, The TRX does Win with factory tire sizes but loses slightly with 37s on TRX and factory 37s on the Raptor...That was sad races...See Throttle House and Vehicle Virgins Races...
@@TRX2021 Your right about the race ! Brain was sleeping , only woke up once on the perfect launch. Throttle House did the head to head race perfectly.
There are several of these races out there now stock to stock the raptor r kills the TRX everytime.
Should have swapped drivers, just to see if it was within the driver.
But would buy the Raptor R over the TRX any day of the week, that truck is just sick!!!! On and off road!!
An embarrassment of riches sitting right there in your driveway!! Both trucks are insanely awesome!! I think I'll take one of each!!!
Fabulous video Mike! From what I am about to read on heads unbiased testing the "R" is quicker. I loved this on the road real life testing, fabulous stuff!
TRX all day! Also love to see Brian back with you !
Love the video, first time watching your channel, subbed!
I think both truck are phenomenal, Ive owned two Raptors so I am partial. But I agree with what you said, myself haven driven a TRX I think its the better street truck, but when it comes to Offroad I think the Raptor gets the win there. Either way you can't go wrong, both are badass.
gonna put an order as soon as i can for a raptor r
Great comparison between both trucks. Seems the trucks come down to personal preference. Are you going to do a video with your wife giving her impressions of the Raptor R? Would be cool to see her thoughts, being she has been driving the standard Raptor for so long now. 👍
Like other Dodge performance products (e.g.: Challenger and Charger Hellcats) off the line to weight and weight transfer, the TRX is slow comparatively speaking.
@@gottarantulas6612 the dodge is built better. Ram had won best quality for years in a row, lexis has been 2, dodge 4, jeep 6, Ford 13th, amd gm trucks at 23rd. That's been about the Ave over the last 5yrs.
@@sonsofliberty3081 GM Trucks 23RD omg you are hella wrong buddy Ram Is not 100% USA made either.. Ford Is.
@@sonsofliberty3081LMAO, you're trying to tell us dodge has better reliability than Lexus.🤣
Awesome video Mike and great to see Brian back in a video. My opinion is I like the Raptor R more than a TRX. The Ford just looks better all around.
I'd prefer the TRX, but man... you can't really go wrong with either!
Hard to go wrong, I’m still enjoying my 18’ 802A and at 450HP it’s a brute, can only imagine 700 ponies. Almost…an F16 full AB takeoff….almost😊
When you weighed both vehicles how much fuel did you have in both tanks? As I'm sure you know, fuel weighs quite a bit. Roughly 6 pounds per gallon.
That looked pretty conclusive to me. It’s walking away from the ram wearing 37 inch tires. Pretty damn impressive. The one win the TRX got looked like the raptor actually lost traction from the frontal view. if the TRX can’t even beat the GEN 2 off-road it doesn’t stand a chance against the raptor R.
No other channels have takeoffs this bad. This is a horrible race. Both ram and R pulls 3.9 0-60
this is a ford video we all know TRX is faster then the ford
@lenny smith Perhap, but we've all seen the TRX get dragged when installed with the 37s.
@@lenbigdog2476 perhaps you’re right just like everybody now knows you are a troll
@@pistolpete8031 funny coming from a guy that lives in his mom basement
As a gear head since a wee little one (any /all things big 3) I'm more on the v6 raptor for the practicality standpoint)
I'm a Ford guy so I like the R, but that TRX is bad a** as well. Can't go wrong with either of them. Thanks for the video.
The handling on the R is true to it's heritage it belongs off-road but it's damn quick great video thanks for the content
The Raptor R is faster to 60 and to get it to launch correctly you have to do what Motor Trend did. They used the auto hold feature to get the best launch. You should have read the article then you would have gotten the best 0-60 out of the truck.
Hey brother, thanks for the vid. 👍 I was wondering about the shifter in the TRX... u can shift manual at the shifter or at the paddles??. Is that right? Or is it paddles only.?.
I love my 2022 chevy Silverado trail boss 6.2 fast and fun off road.
I own a 23 Raptor but I think the front end of the TRX looks better
I think you need a better driver in the trx,love the TRX sounds better and is a better overall truck
He deffinetley needed a better driver these trucks are way closer than that. But if you put 35s on both the raptor r beats the trx. I'm a ford guy and I dont think either is way better over all. They're both really nice trucks
Both are badd ass trucks 💯. I couldn’t get past the gas mileage seeing I drive so much.
Great video.BOTH ARE GREAT TRUCKS😊
I think the tire difference is what’s causing the handling differences
Las dos llantas son casi iguales, solo habría una diferencia muy pequeña en arrastre
The tires on the trx are wider so that’s why it has more grip and that’s why it has better handling you just don’t really notice it bc of the wide ass fenders
I have had both the Raptor (x2) and the TRX now. My wife and I have taken our Raptor to Baja and are looking forward to taking the TRX the Baja as well. Im happy with the TRX so far after i bought a new front bumper and trust the Hellcat vs the Predator engine. Time will tell.. lets let the dirt tell the story!
Don't take that TRX out there, that's not a real baja truck.
Dodge just made a piece of crap for you to have fun with it until 140k miles, then you constantly repairing the truck
@Bruce Dragon1000 wtf do you care what I buy or repair? Do you have either truck or are you a troll?
@@Shortarmslonglegs I have friends and family with these trucks.
I know from a fact that there's no better truck than a Ford truck.
Non of them are perfect but Ford trucks are close.
Don't believe me?? Ask Elon Musk
@Bruce Dragon1000 oh you have friends.. thats doubtful bud
@@Shortarmslonglegs and family with these trucks.
They do conversate with me.
Like I said, non of these trucks are perfect.
Ford builds their trucks different than other truck makers.
Its so many old Ford trucks still on the road it's not even funny.
Dodge trucks are dam near last on the list, right in front of Mazda, and Mitsubishi.
It goes like this Ford , Toyota , Nissan ,Chevy, Honda, then Dodge.
I’m not a dodge guy but that blower whine is great
A Raptor wit 35s would be even faster. I would much rather have a lighter truck. I don't care about the 0-60, but weight matters for handling. I like the Ford interior better and the Ram exterior slightly better. I like that the Ford is not as wide. I prefer a quieter exhaust. They are both fun toys.
Both are amazing trucks! I like the Raptor R but wish it had the larger mirrors. Those are pretty small. I like the visibility you get with the larger mirrors that also include the blind spot mirrors (like on our F-350). We've done several videos about our new Super Duty with the Godzilla engine. We love it - but the creature comforts and sound of that Raptor R are amazing.
Mirrors make a huge difference I have a 19 f150 and my dad has a 21 but he has the big f150 tow mirrors. Looks so much better with the big mirrors
@@codylucier4688 I totally agree. And they're so much better for visibility when towing.
TRX looks beefier exterior and looks luxurious interior.
I don’t understand why CZcamsrs don’t compare a stock TRX and stock raptor r not one with modify suspension bigger tires. Everything completely stock from the factory.
My wife and I both own f150s hers a 2021xlt mine 2018xlt leadfoot edition both 3.5eb with 10sp trans and theres a reason we have them that VOODOO engine in the Raptor R is amazing hats off to you for having one and posting this non bias video #teamoval
Well Mike both trucks are nice but you should have taken the ride and have streetspeed 717 drive the trx ,, its all about the person behind the wheel
If you notice in the first race, I got the jump and he still beat me. The Raptor is just faster.
@@PIPSBURGHVIEWS you spin on the TRX it cuts the power could be a little can be a lot don't matter
I watched both videos and I believe they are both really fast trucks. TRX is heavier.The Raptor R tires look narrower possibly more flex.You can't go wrong with either.I believe finally an equal match.Do you think Chevy/Gmc will try to bring another Syclone to existance?Wouldn't that be awesome?
TRX is the quicker trucks stock for stock. Those saying 35s vs 37s need to understand the R has 4.10s and the TRX on 3.55s, mute point. Also, a tazer will allow the TRX to be 2wd. I'm still liking the TRX better it's a better stronger engine and transmission AND rear end. No aluminum plasma lined junk block thst consumes oil. They just made 2018-2020 coyote blocks obsolete becasue of oil consumption. The TRX will last longer, trust me on that one.
I like them both just different things in each truck if we could mix them together it would be the perfect truck
It does not beat the TRX interior in the very slightest and you know that very well Mike
Oh it does 😂
Great video! Please do a detailed comparison of the ride on city streets, bumps, and highway driving. I’ve heard that the Raptor R drives over bumps like a Cadillac but the TRX drives over bumps like a sports car. Is this true? And what are the pros/cons if it is true?
I'm curious about that too
Great video! TRX looks street mean! I'm a F150 guy though! I have been rock-n with your channel since you started! Great content! Keep it going!
Can I just say I love the golf gloves 😂
And Brian is back woooo!
I’d say Brian was a sleep on some of those launches , the one perfect one was the usual result. Can’t afford either but like the Ram , sounds better and looks mean as hell.
The Raptor has a similar Launch control but you need to switch to sport mode and then make sure brake hold is in place and just slam the gas.
Love both and my choice is the R but for the money it is the TRX
Love the TRX sounds so much better. How about the payloads? Is there much difference? Do a towing comparison. They are trucks and should do Truck things
Great video as always. I like Ford's better, and always have. But i do like the interior of the TRX better, from looks anyway. Very surprised the Ford was faster, happy about it though!
The TRX definitely looks better in my opinion. Thats not to say the R isnt a good looking truck. But the TRX has a meaner look for sure. Looks like on this video the R was running faster, but I've seen the results go the other way on some other videos. I'd park either in my driveway but if I only had to pick 1 I'd still go with a TRX
The TRX is the winner obviously all around when looking at it from a 360 angle but power wise ford managed to tweak it to defeat the TRX finally but I would still choose the TRX over all between the hoices mainly for the aggressive look.
Love the comparison. IMO I prefer the Raptor R, styling, updated, full digital cluster, tactile buttons for heated seats, etc.
Love to see a head to head comparison of Raptor R to the regular Raptor. I’m considering one or the other and am leaning towards regular Raptor as I think it will be more than good enough for my purposes.
Keep the great content coming.
Great video . Good to see Brian make an appearance again. Happy to see the Raptor R come out on top in the races. I’d take it any day over the TRX.
I love the look of the trx
Mike I’m pretty sure at 15:08 a pre facelift C63 passed by you right as you’re about to launch the Raptor R 😂😂 maybe it’s a sign to get another 🤷♂️
After watching the video my vote is for the RapR. The TRX is an awesome truck. It looks GREAT with a GREAT engine but OMG, 500-pound difference is huge. TRX front end is too heavy for landing jumps. The RapR IMO is better built and can still thrash through trails and keep going. That's what it's meant for.
