The Ram 1500 TRX Sandblast Edition starts sales this summer priced from $100,080, including a $1,795 destination charge.


Here it's tuned to deliver 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque and will see the TRX accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, accelerate from 0-100 mph in 10.5 seconds, run the quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds, and hit a top speed of 118 mph (limited only by the 365/65R18 T-rated tires).

Under the hood is the familiar 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 known as the Hellcat. The three main contenders are: all-electric Rivian R1T and two conventional models, the Ram 1500 TRX and Ford F-150 Raptor. No change has been made to the powertrain. The Ram TRX is slightly worse at ten mpg in the city and 14 mpg on the road.Inside, the extras include accent stitching, carbon fiber accents, a flat-bottom steering wheel with leather and carbon fiber, a unique center console badge, a head-up display, and electronic driver-assist features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. Heavy trucks and economy never feature in the same sentence, but the F-150 Raptor’s estimated fuel economy is at 15 mpg for the city and 18 mpg for the highway. It also comes with 37-inch tires and higher ground clearance at 13.1-inches compared to the TRX’s are 35-inch tires and 11.8-inch ground clearance. The Raptor and TRX are off-roaders and come with fine-tuned suspension systems. The TRX, on the other hand, packs a massive 6.2-liter supercharged V8 paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission, pumping out 702 HP and 881 Nm of torque. The TRX’s Uconnect 5 infotainment system is superior, offering over-the-air updates smooth and faster operation.īrian’s Raptor unit comes with a twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission making 450 HP and 691 Nm of torque. These features ensure the Raptor outperforms the TRX on. While both trucks feel and look comfortable, the TRX’s interior is luxurious with leather and Alcantara, while the Raptor is more sport-oriented with leather and carbon trims. It has a better departure angle, greater ground clearance, and a ten-speed automatic transmission. Ford uses a 10-speed automatic in the Raptor, which has a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6.
#FORD RAPTOR VS RAM TRX FULL#
Both have full crew cabs with four doors, shorter beds, LED taillights, and dual exhausts. The Ford Raptor has a 36 gallon tank and there’s a 33 gallon on the Ram TRX. The looks on the two trucks are subjective, but we believe they are similarly designed, with the TRX slightly having a more aggressive design. Since Ram made the direct connection in its reveal and many consumers are making the overt comparison, we thought it might be helpful to show you. Of course, all this more, comes with a higher price tag as well a much higher price tag. However, a similarly potent Raptor R is in the pipeline. That means the TRX will out-power the Raptor by an incredible 252 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque. It might seem pointless comparing the TRX’s 702 HP against the Raptor’s measly 450 HP. The Raptor has a starting price of $70,370, while the Ram TRX starts at $78,675. Roman and Tommy Mica from TFLoffroad recently compared the kind of value the two nameplates have to offer, by buying variants of the pickups which cost around 77,000. The Ram TRX is pricier than the Raptor, depending on options and trim level. The rivalry between the Ford F-150 Raptor and Ram TRX has stirred up quite a lot of excitement amongst pickup truck enthusiasts. Brian or Bros FOURR Speed reviewed the pickup trucks, comparing their quirks and features.
