2023 RAM TRX vs Ford Raptor | What Truck Is Better For $85,000?!

- 👋 What do you think of the 2023 Dodge RAM TRX and the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor trucks? These are the coolest off road focused pickup trucks on the market and offer so much fun! The RAM TRX has a massive 6.2L Supercharged V8 with over 700 HP and the Raptor EcoBoost packs a 3.5L Twin Turbo V6 with about 500 HP. These two trucks are pre-owned and are both listed around $85,000. So you can buy either truck at the same money. Now the Raptor R does exist, which would be a better competitior to the supercharged TRX, but those are way more expensive and hard to get. But the EcoBoost 2023 raptor looks amazing and I just love the styling! The TRX looks bigger with much wider fenders and looks awesome too! Both the TRX and Raptor have nice looking interiors with fantastic tech, but i can see a bit nicer materials in the TRX and it feels a bit more premium. The biggest difference is how they drive and sound. The V8 sounds amazing and packs so much power! It's awesome driving the TRX. You can tell the EcoBoost Raptor just doesn't feel the same with a V6. Suspension is a bit harder in the Raptor so it feels a bit more sporty and better in the turns. TRX is a bit softer feeling so it rides more luxurious than sporty. Overall I can't deny the V8 is better and more fun. I love the drivetrain in the TRX. 8 speed is also much better then the 10 speed. However I love the looks of the Raptor better and it's the OG off road truck! So I'm very torn!

TRX all day!
It's a beast!
I’m a corvette man but I feel like I could get the TRX and not miss it plus I gain cab space
One day ☝🏻
It's a beast better than ford
I like them both
I recently traded my Gen 2 Raptor for a TRX and though they share a lot of similarities. The TRX is in a league of its own. In my opinion, the best parts of the TRX are its instantaneous torque, buttery smooth transmission, the exhaust note and supercharger whine. Kudos to Ram for knocking it out of the park.
Both are great options for sure! Fun trucks!
How would you compare the ride ?
V8 and that beautiful screen have me favoring the TRX
Both great options but it’s a nice screen!
Dude.....let that TRX rev out....its so much quicker than you are giving it credit for. The TRX knocks my socks off harder than my Blackwing! Too quick on those shifts! Both of these are awesome trucks! I agree with almost everything you said on them....own them both. TRX for the interior, engine, sounds, performance. Raptor for ride quality, agility/nimble. Love them both. Great video and review! Your channel is awesome
I bet it does! But I’m just not going to drive someone else’s car that hard. Especially a car for sale.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I guess I get it....but. Thats what these super trucks are meant to do. Its hard to give your subscribers a true evaluation or comparison without actually driving these how they are meant to be driven. If bringing these trucks to near redline is somehow dangerous for the engine...than there are bigger issues and your followers should know
@@autovice7689 ruclips.net/video/WWts8rWOLnA/видео.html
Here's when I drove my friends TRX and ripped on it. The thing is tho, I can't please everyone. If I do push the car just a tad, I'll get comments of people saying I'm abusing the car. And then they'll yell at the dealer and say I was joyriding and beating on their car. I can't win regardless of how I drive, so I'll just lightly push a car. Most cars I film, I've already driven before and had opportunities to rip on them. So I know what it feels like redlining both these trucks. So I don't need to do it in the video on dealer cars.
I literally did a review of my own Supra and a guy commented and said I'm destroying it because of how I drove it.. on my own car lol
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I get it!. Love the channel. Keep up the good work!
I hate it when reviewers rag out brand new, unbroken-in vehicles.
I have a TRX but am a big Ford guy, had 4 other F series trucks and almost bought a raptor. One thing I’m surprised you didn’t talk about is the parking and this is one area that has made me think about getting a raptor. The TRX is a couple inches taller and several inches wider, not a huge deal but something I would consider living in the city. There are several parking garages where my ram cannot get into but a Raptor barely can. I get about 11mpg in the Trx and think the raptor would get 12-14 depending on how you drive it. Ram feels plusher and does ride better, TRX will likely hold its value better due to the death of the power train. Tough call, both sweet machines!
You mentioned you live in the city, was that 11 mpg mostly city driving? I've heard some people average 12-13 in their TRX if they commute on the highway. I know mpg's are gonna go be trash either way, just curious because the closer the MPG is to the Raptor, the easier it is to justify the V8 haha
@@Mr-Bogs I’m mixed driving about 50-50. If you run in snow mode I can get about 11.5-12 hwy only. If you run in sport or Baja and accelerate quickly in the city figure 9.5-10.5
@@jloren314 I appreciate the info!
@@Mr-Bogs sure, pulling a 6,000lb trailer I get 9, so it doesn’t change much 🤣
@@jloren314 What' the maximum tow weight?
That can’t be a ‘23 TRX because the new ones are all digital dash. Great review man nevertheless🔥
I can't remember to be honest lol If that's the only thing, everything else is the same in this generation. Cool trucks for sure!
Raptor features are slightly better. The one thing that was overlooked was gas milage. Some may want the smiles per minute, others from a practical perspective may prefer the miles per gallon. From a practical perspective and everyday use with beautiful presentation and feature lavished amendments...the Raptor crushes it.
Both are great options, but MPG isn't really practical on either!
I have the Raptor in Avalanche Grey and I love the truck and color over the TRX.
Glad you enjoy it!
I would only get a V8 in a beast of a truck like this. A V6 would be a tame sheep disguised as a wolf!
I can see that. V8 is so sick!
I really cant decide which one looks better. Some days it the trx some days its the raptor
yeah both are cool! Hard to pick a clear winner in looks
No question, the TRX.
Why!?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Why not!? Because I like it better, more precisely, much better. 😎
@@nessuno7510 as long as you enjoy it! Both are great options, can’t go wrong with either.
the step for the trx is right there near the left exhaust pipe
There wasn’t one on this one.
Definitely TRX V8 any day every day. Unfortunately no RAM dealer in SA🇿🇦 and yet we are a big truck nation. Can one import a right hand drive TRX
You seem to have a bigger smile in the trx😊
Yeah that V8 makes it! I love the Raptors, but the V8 is where its at
You missed the step on the TRX. There’s a kick out step on the rear drivers side that is an option.
Yeah I've seen the. Not nearly as useful as the tailgate step Ford has tho
I would go for Ford Raptor cause it is available here in South Africa 🇿🇦 although it is not as big as that one you have over there. Oooh dam it looks good I went to the dealer last week to have a look it pretty nice with cool features. It is definitely now my dream car.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense!
Ford "Ranger" Raptor is totally different to Ford Raptor F150. Ranger Raptor is developed in Australia & is smaller in size than the F150 Raptor. Anyway RAM TRX is a more superior vehicle in my opinion.
@@danmclaughlin1180it's no longer made in Australia since it's now made in Thailand (I think). Are you actually from AU or SA??
I wonder why do people outside of Canada & USA call pickup trucks as "cars"?? Americans & Canadians call it trucks
I love Ford but that V8 in the TRX is the seller for me
Yeah it's a big plus for the truck for sure!
Should have mentioned their mpg, which is Raptor’s strongest selling point over the TRX
Lol I don’t think people buying these care too much about that 😅
@@BrosFOURRSpeed These are offroad trucks and it makes a huge difference if you actually go out in the mountains or desert. Here in British Columbia and many other states or provinces or territories it makes a huge difference if you can go further without refueling. I love both trucks. It would have been nice if you compared the truck as a whole and not just the motors. The suspension is also a very important part of a off road truck. Either way thanks for the review.
@@rajsteint6487 yeah good point. Most vehicles seem to have similar range tho. MPG doesn’t really matter as much as range does. However I think raptor has a bigger tank, so that and MPG would help. But people doing big overland adventures normally have a lot of extra fuel cans
My buddies that have raptors are getting 12-14, I’m at 11 in the TRX.
I just recently sold my Gen 2 Raptor. I am missing it and trying to decide what’s next. The Raptor R is just too overpriced and I don’t see that changing. I hated the 10 speed transmission of the Gen 2 but otherwise enjoyed the truck. Probably should test drive the TRX because it sounds great and looks great inside and out.
Yeah I think the TRX would be great then. Basically the same price as the normal Raptor. It's grown on me, great truck! Love the 8 speed too
Raptor is very sweet for daily driving. Interior and looks good to the Raptor as well. TRX too heavy…
The TRX is a big heavier but that doesn't mean it's not a daily driver as well.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed sure, but it's just not practical as a daily driver to a consumer especially in today's reality; you can argue that it's not for the average consumer but why do you think dodge is killing the v8 trx after 2024; it was like the viper; that car was an iconic muscle car yet it's discontinued because no one was really buying it due to it's impracticality. In 2023 dodge trucks lost about -5% in revenue compare to previous year, yet gm gained about 18% and ford gained 14%.
I wish you have a camera on your head (or on your hat) since it will give me the BEST POV by watching what your seeing, the speedometer, & thn touchscreen (just like MilesPerHr & Ben Hardy)
We do that in every detailed review, you can check out each review to see that angle.
Which truck is better for day to day driving in suspension wise? Over the bumps or pot holes. Thanks!
Raptor
Either one to be honest! I know people who daily drive both and enjoy them!
Why do you say that?
Trx does have a bed step , you just missed it, it’s hidden on the back left of bumper
Yeah but those are more generic and can be added to any truck. Doesn't have the integrated bed step like the Ford has available. Or like how GM does their multi pro tailgate. Wish RAM in general had something more then just the barn door option on their trucks
Wowser. You look like such a little boy sitting in those trucks!
They are some big trucks!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed sort of, but you’re a particularly little man.
@@danbskyguy I’m 5’11”, wouldn’t say that’s small..
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Not small, but definitely not large. Very slight though. Like a teenager.
@@danbskyguy 😂
Am a die hard of Dodge Trx is my dream ride ❤
Keep working towards it!
Great comparison video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Updated 2nd generation beadlock rims on the raptor🙏
Yeah the newer Raptor is very nice!
RAM yes
Ram is pretty awesome!
Great video, brother! Thank you for sharing. TRX all the way
The Trx does have a step it’s under the rear driver side bumper.
This one did not have that, might be an option.
I clearly see it in the video.
@@joesmoe8112 I don't, it's not there.
@@joesmoe8112 Your right it is there.
I see the step too lol
funniest part is the TRX in Australia is 240k. no way would I pay that much
Wow that’s crazy!
That’s insane
WHAAAAT that’s insane
@@paulwilliams2024 how much is 240k Australia money in USD
What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you think about it if it wasn't for the raptor the trx wouldn't exist raptor all day. You don't need all that power for off reading except Baja raptor all day
TRX for most of the reasons that others are giving below.
Yeah you can’t argue with a V8!
Forgot about the steps under the bumper that you pull down and out
That was for the trx anyway
Yeah, showed that in the full review.
They need something better to compete with ford.
which has better gas milage?
The TRX, but it will depend on how you drive it lol!
Thx for the video. I’m still torn between the 2. Tested Raptor and going to test TRX this weekend. I’m scared what I might feel with that engine. I own V8 now with nearly 600hp so I’m sure I’ll be right at home. MPG is a big issue on TRX. I live in Europe and gas prices are easily 2 x if not more than US. However, if the heart says stick with 6.2 supercharged that’s what I’ll have to do 😀
Hmm yeah that might be a deterring factor for you. However neither truck is all too fuel efficient. V8 is pretty fun!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed totally agreed. I think I’ll just have to stick with a V8. Will update you once I get a TRX
How was it? Which one did you get?
The FORD in the grill could be bigger
Debatable lol, it takes up most the grill already!
@@gradientO Are you talking about the Lightning? It’s just a solid front with a normal logo.
Get Ford F-150 Raptor R
Yeah that would be ideal! Would love to drive one!
Raptor 💯
great truck!
V8 everyday of the week
Can't argue with that!
Ram
Why?
Forgot one thing..... Which one has won a baja race? V8 means nothing look at the GTR
Yeah a lot of people love the V8 tho. Loved my old GTR for sure ;)
👍👍👍
Which one you want!?
The raptor look better
I would agree, trx does have a good look though.
I think the Raptor overall is the better truck. Id never trust Dodge. You can tune the Raptor to get a bit more power and I think it makes for a better every day truck
TRX all day
Great truck!
I wish I could have one of this soon!!
Keep working towards one!
which one, do you mean BOTH of these trucks?
Why would you not get the 5.7 liter raptor and compare it to the trx I mean come on dude lol cheers cool video bud.
Because that’s a much older truck, I’m comparing the latest generation models. Wouldn’t make sense to compare to an older model..
Ram trx
Why!?
I love his dainosare shaper powerful 6.2 supercharge engine
Ford raptor is lazy shape ram is ruged and tuff looking
@@BrosFOURRSpeed whats your favurit truck rsm or raptor
Las RAM
Yea the TRX is better
That V8 is some fun!
I currently have a TRX, and ive owned many F series trucks. Honestly, im really considering the V6 raptor. I really dont like the TRX. Its steering is heavy and fatiguing on long distance drives, and the 13-14 MPG is awful. Its not about the cost, simply the range on highway cruising. I hate having to fill up all the time. Im hoping the Raptor will be a bit more comfortable too. Not to mention, atleast longevity wise, Fords interiors are higher quality. Everything in my TRX feels cheap. Even when i jump in an XLT or Lariat Ford, i feel like the interiors are more solid than the build quality of the Ram.
yeah I can see that. The V8 is super cool, but the Raptor feels a bit lighter on its toes and easier to drive
ford raptor 100%
Great truck!
I don't understand how anyone would choose a raptor over the trx its not subjective
That’s definitely subjective and a personal preference..
Raptor R is $80k!!!!!! more than the TRX….
Raptor R wasn’t even an option when I filmed this, so that’s irrelevant to the time I made this..
So you don’t get a step on the TRX. Totally walks past the drop down bedstep twice while saying that…😖
This one didn’t have that at all..
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yes it did.. it’s on the left rear under the bumper. That has the bed package group. Same as my TRX..
Gotcha. Still not as nice as the fords step. Hardly useful for loading motorcycles like what I do with trucks.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed how are you going to use a step in the center of the tailgate to load a motorcycle when ramps would be there? You must be a ford fanboy. The bedstep for the dodge is more convenient because you can still use it with the tailgate up if you don’t want to step in the center of the tailgate.
@@landonsrt9587 I’ve never owned a ford lol, you simply put the ramp on either side of the step and while you push the bike up, you can use the step. It’s that easy lol
Chevy has the best multiflex tailgate of anyone we’ve used!
Ford fanboy trying not to like the RAM!!!! lol
Who’s the fan boy? Just making a comparison video..
I want a TRX!!!🥹🥹
Keep working towards it!
People complain about 10 speed is too much; you realize that you can limit how many gears you want to utilize? If you want only 6 or 8 gears you can set it to that.
How?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Once you shift to drive, (not manual drive) your shift knob has the + and - buttons; if you only want 4 gears to use, press the - button until you reach the desired amount of gear. You're welcome.
@@alexmar1382 Yeah true. But still, being used to manual cars and sports cars, 10 gears just feels like a lot when you go back and forth between auto and manual mode. Just personal preference.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed It only make sense once you're driving in the hyway; otherwise, yeah, preference.
Did they ever fix
ford transmission problems
I don't really know. I havent kept up with long term reliability of either of these trucks. I'm sure some owners would know more details. 10 Speed seems reliably from what I've heard at least
Did anyone mention that the trx actually does have a set to get into the back. This guy just doesn't know how to use it bc he is not a ram dude.
Where’s the step? I didn’t show one because there isn’t one to show..
@BrosFOURRSpeed on the driver side, pretty much right next to the tail pipe. There a small wing that sticks out from the back bumper. What else did you think that was?
@@user-dt7so2nb7k I’ve showed that in other reviews of the TRX, my point was there’s no tailgate step like the ford which is much more beneficial than a tiny side step..
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Thought you were saying in general there's no step. 👍
