2024 Ford Raptor R vs 2024 Ram TRX: Let's Settle This Once And For All! 

A less capable, slower truck for the same money? Illogical

You wish. Raptor R 2024 is 120k MSRP and dealers charge you 30k to 50k above MSRP.

Lightning v8 supercharged and the Chevy cyclone v6 supercharged started it all with fast trucks capable of a lot💪🏽

But dodge makes far less superior vehicles

It’s alright, pretty overrated by most TBH

ford has a better suspensions though. trx is several geenrations behind compared to what ford has suspension wise.

Except it doesn’t have a better motor, tech is way behind and it doesn’t touch the fox suspension. Raptor is an off-road purpose truck and the trx tried to be.

Everything is great on the TRX but the crap front Axles

TRX doesn’t have a way better interior. Better door panels maybe and that’s it

Also the Predator/Carnivore is FAR superior to the Hellcat. Just as the Coyote is FAR superior to the Gen III Hemi.

Well ford scaled back r production from last year. Best I’ve found is 20k ADM for the R

These stupid dealerships are making shit way up, they are a huge problem. Anyone that buys from them and supports that bullshit is a major problem.

@@Adam-hq7ob20m is amazing. I’m in Cali but I’ve been calling all over. In Cali, we had some sell for over 200k. Dealer I bought my 19 raptor from had an auction and someone bid over 200k. Shit is wild in Cali.

@@gannethackett9323so what are we supposed to do? Just not get the vehicle that we want?

@@joemomma707 no, but you shouldn’t buy it from a dealer with a insane markup, it ruins the market for everyone else.

GM=Grampa Motors

GM never competes with other American brands anymore. No Silverado ZL1 to compete with these, no k5 blazer to compete with the wrangler and bronco. They prefer small economy cars now. Damn shame I'd buy a retro styled new k5 blazer immediately

@@brycehoffmann3237government motors

Agreed 👍. I think both vehicles are honestly a bit overpriced nowadays. But Raptor for the $. If you don’t actually need over 700 HP for daily driving then maybe even the V6 or the new Ram high output might be a better choice for most people.

Yea, when I bought my 22 TRX level 2 fully loaded it was 86k. Now the same one is 124k Even with the ADM on the Raptor R it's still worth it over the TRX because of how much more limited they are. I see a handful of TRX a week where I live. I've seen 2 Raptor R's since the release last year and they both go to my Gym.

@azzurrin889 I ordered a 2022 TRX level 1 from a dealer in Kentucky at 4% undrr invoice and it was $74k. Granted it wasn't loaded to the max, but still a hell of a truck for the money. I am now back in a 2024 V6 raptor.

The Raptor is about to outlive Dodge (the entire brand) and possible Ram itself given what Stellantis is doing.

The TRX looks like a widebody Tradesman. The Raptor R is superior to the TRX across the board.

English?

@@dawsonsschittcreek5395yes speak it

Plenty of dealers selling R's for sticker...just need to look..

@@scottcolquitt2073 I willing to make a road trip, where you found some that sell at sticker? Thanks in advance

@@scottcolquitt2073you are mentally challenged. I own a 2019 mustang 5.0 pp1, 2019 raptor supercrew, and a 2021 trackhawk. I know how to get the best deal on these speciality vehicles. Unless you work for Ford and are a big dog, or a youtuber, you cannot get a raptor r at MSRP. I’ve met with dealers. I’ve made a ton of calls. I’ve hit up my connections. You are crazy for making a false claim like that. You give me information to one dealer that will sell me a raptor r and I will give you 10k. I’ll wait.

@@badgambit7332you might want to hit up Elon Musk becuase there isn’t one in the U.S. The only way you can get a raptor r at MSRP is if you are a RU-vidr or work for ford and are a big dog.

Ford is all Woke, most of their buyers are as well. So this is totally normal.

I see about 3-5 raptors a day, and i barely see a trx a day here just driving on 101

@@NoonMight sorry I meant I see more TRX than Raptor R.

No shit. Betas at ford produce the v6 raptor still. Very limited production of the v8. That’s why the mark ups are insane.

I bet very few of them take it off-road. My Titan Pro-4X seen more dirt than these pavement princess!

@@OGtruthserum why are you poor fucks always worried about what people do with the trucks you can’t afford? I’ll never understand. My raptor is fully modded for off-roading. I am pretty much over off-roading in my raptor but my raptor still is equipped. Most people buy all of these vehicles for daily use. I bought an x3 rs turbo rr for off-roading. Raptor or TRX can’t come close to my x3 when it comes to offroading. What’s your deal? Made cuz poor?

Technically the trx lives, but it just won't have a V8 anymore. The base raptor doesn't either, so it doesn't matter too much.

Are you insane? The gen 2 raptor should have never been a v6 to begin with. I own a 2019 raptor supercrew. It’s an ecoboost. The engine shuts off at a stop. Unless you press the button to turn the feature off. You have to turn it off everytime you drive. Why the fuck is that even a thing in a raptor? The bronco is not a v8. They are still producing the v6 raptor, which makes it harder to get the v8 at MSRP. They didn’t include a launch control in the raptor r because they are a bunch of betas. I own a Trackhawk as well. Dodge went out with a bang. I am buying the raptor r because it looks flawless.

Like?

It has better suspension, that’s really about it. Ford’s response was a joke, the best they could do was add a taller hood and a few orange R’s. Even the name was rushed, Raptor X would’ve been more fitting. The interior was a joke on the 23’. But the best part is; Ford thought 700 HP would be enough but realized it wasn’t actually enough, so they absolutely screw over the 23 owners by adding 20 more HP to the 24’ year version. It’s like a frantic woman screaming to get out of a burning house 😂 will Ford still be adding shit onto the Raptor R in 10 years that it should’ve had at first? Like oh wait, we didn’t actually respond to this part of the TRX, let’s make a new thing 🤡

@@gannethackett9323ram quality is shit. You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about

@@gannethackett9323 LOL that was literally the dumbest assessment I have ever heard. First and foremost Ford and the Raptor was FIRST and was around an entire decade before Ram decided to show up to the party and guess what.....Ram is already done and gone, shot their load and gone. Secondly, the Raptor R was not rushed Ford was well aware Ram was coming out with their TRX and began the changes to have an extreme level Raptor version to maintain their dominance in this market they knew they were going to use the GT500 engine for this. Third, the 700 hp it came out with was more than enough and they knew this as well since every third party testing (road n track, motor trend, and private testing, etc.) all confirmed it was in fact faster, lighter and far superior at high speed and desert running there are countless videos and testing that prove this, does it blow it out no but it still is faster, oh and the Raptor R does all this with 37" tires. For 2024 like any other vehicle they get updates and improvements and one of those was a 20 hp bump, upgraded fox shocks, interiors, exteriors, etc. and unlike the Ram TRX Ford still will be adding shit to and upgrading the Raptor because they sell them and people want them and they own the market in this segment all while the TRX is long gone and done, remember it WAS IN FACT Ram chasing and copying Ford when they finally decided to show up for a year or two and attempt to compete.

@@jasonmeldrum7686 hey boomer, you wrote a whole essay in the comments. I’m not reading that. The Hellcat engine is superior to the GT500 engine, go watch any youtuber talk about it. Motor trend literally had a GT500 break down 3 times during a drag race against a redeye. Last thing I’ll say is imagine being Ford and ignoring their community asking for a V8 Raptor, until Ram literally has to make a supertruck to force Ford into doing what their community has been asking for a decade… ouch. Ford is honestly just a shitty brand and doesn’t care about their community until their sales are directly affected 😬

Both are reliable and won't fall apart since none of the current ones that exist has any outstanding issues that's common across the entire line up and bith engines are proven. Only thing people can actually comment on is build quality but in general they are both very durable and well built vehicles, it's all an opinion on what you consider quality because actual quality relies on the strength and practicality and usefulness of the build, not how expensive and pretty the materials are

Raptor is by far better built.

@@mysticrythems2112how

@@mysticrythems2112 Hey boomer. Don’t forget to take your medicine today.

@gannethackett9323 Are you meaning reality? Hey grasshopper land here!

What does it win in? Because the R stomps the TRX in any competition you can dream up…and it isn’t close

Looks better

Need glasses.

Yeah to see the trx numbers

Nah for me all rams look alike especially when it comes to the ram rebel and Trx they have similar grills and interior just badges and athstic wise yea on the outside you’ll notice but a tremor and raptor look way different the bumper is all custom winch to a more compared to a Baja more bumper style and the grill suspension a lot more different besides interior ofc all most the same interior but badges matter

@@lil_pe3p that may be true. But the most distinctive full size truck is the Trx ur not guessing when u see one

@@keithhunt3437 nah it looks like a rebel with wide body kit and ofc the marker lights the Raptor is easily unmistakable with its big sticker decals and wide body and marker lights plus its hood scoop

This guys nuts^

@@lil_pe3p so what difference is there?? Stickers? The thing u don’t have to get 😂

Plus, only the RaptoR has the 2wd setting !!

Like always Ford invented the market and they also perfected it!

No ford made the trx

​@@benjaminbrown7127If people only realized this fact

Well in reality the raptor made the trx

Cap

Why you listen to her? I have the Trackhawk, Raptor, and whipple supercharged 5.0. Check your bitches

@@dawsonsschittcreek5395only haters call cap.

How much adm

People are literally paying over MSRP. I dont know a single person that didn’t have to pay markup.

It’s got bigger sheet metal and all of the width is in the suspension and frame. If you want to be a loser go ahead lol.

A morons 2 cents.

Exactly

I think it’s the other way around. The new Raptor headlights look like a gen 1 and gen 2. The Raptor’s body style is more rigid and has a square like cab. The TRX has more aggressive free flowing designs and the cab has no complete 90 degree angles like the Raptor R. The Raptor R looks like a lego set to me, the TRX looks like a alien material body.

@@gannethackett9323agreed. The raptors new grill is a step backwards

Kudos to the Raptor R it is a "Try-hard". TRX is dead now and died with honor as FCA (Stellantis) could have placed the Demon engine in the TRX.

Uh, the 5.2 makes more power stock, makes more power mod-for-mod, will hold more power on the stock long-block. The Coyote has made massively more power on all stock cylinder and block castings than the Gen III Hemi has with aftermarket blocks. The Coyote architecture is FAR superior to the Gen III Hemi. Let me know when a stock cylinder head casting, stock block casting, stock crankshaft Gen III Hemi make over 3000 HP or runs 6.2 @ 228 in a drag and drive street car or goes 3.9s in the 1/8 on stock castings. The replacement for displacement is superior block strength, cylinder head/valve-train performance and superior head gasket sealing. The Gen III Hemi isn’t even worth talking about in the same sentence as the Coyote regarding performance capability. Sorry

Hope it wasn’t my truck 😂

@@raptorsofinstawas that your raptor r? If so, what dealer did you buy it from? I want to buy one at MSRP too. Congrats!!

Nope. I wash mine in my driveway once a week. TRX here.

mine does, just fold mirrors in. Touchless of course.

My R visits the Quick Quack weekly with no issues. Just fold the mirrors!

You're a clown with that comment

No they are just a woke French company that thinks they are saving the environment. Ford is still making v8 mustangs and f150s

It’s a headache it launch thou you have to brake boost on 4WA and put it in hill assist. The trx is just launch 🚀 control and go

Nah the TRX is faster at launch.

@@julianmares9496 what’s the stock 0-60 time?

You literally do need launch control. What are you smoking? I own a raptor (v6) and a Trackhawk. The launch control in the hawk makes it easy to launch. We race these on the street. Betas at ford did not want to compete with the trx becuase they think they are above that. We, the consumer suffer. I want launch control.

@@julianmares9496 No it isn’t, watch Cleetus vids. Watch streetspeed717 The R is not only quicker/faster…it is substantially quicker/faster.

Just wait until the summer or fall approaches

Sir, first of all, CONGRATS!!!!! Can you please tell me the dealer and state? I need to buy an R at MSRP. Happy for you!!!

@@joemomma707 You don't "need", you "want".

@@joemomma707 That how you go broke mate.

No it isn’t

@@BC08 it totally is, it’s got 808 horse and it’s smaller and lighter then both

@@blakemarchand6650 No videos on YT?

@@blakemarchand6650 If you have a Hellcat swapped TJ with a Baja type suspension you really should make a few YT videos.

Womp womp

They put out 700hp for a truck...what did you expect, casual?

If it is a joke just get an EV or a hybrid and you be happy with it.

@@RDSZ If these trucks don't seem altogether ridiculous to you, by all means buy one. A fool and his money are soon parted. For the record, I think EVs are a total scam as well. EV cars weigh as much as these giant trucks and they chew through tires faster than semis. In 2024, I don't think it's outrageous to believe that passenger vehicles should be getting AT LEAST 15 MPG if not much more. Maybe that's just me though....

​@Withlovefrominterent You are spot on with your analysis. On the fool being parted with his money is totally small thinking. If and when I want something that requires more money, I go make more money! Money is my Bitch! I've been using and saying this montra for decades. Money is to be used and abused by any and all means necessary. Money is not my center. Money is beneath me. Money is not my friend. When money is over your head you are dead.

This is the silliest comment on the whole thread. What kind of mileage do you think a 6,000 Lb Lambo or Ferrari would get? It's a pickup truck with a racecar engine. Best of both worlds. People who buy these toys don't sweat over a tank of gas. Grow up

You sound exactly like a cheapskate that can’t afford one. Hahaha.
