700hp Raptor R VS 702hp Ram TRX | Ultimate Comparison 

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.

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!

Great show thanks. 2 amazing great builds from the factory. Maybe the tires make the difference? TRX for me, power on Hemi!

I’ve had my TRX for about a year now. Absolutely love it

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! 😃

Think I still like the TRX more. Looks, sound.

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

Excellent video Mike!

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.

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.

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.

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.

My favorite 2 trucks... Still undecided . Both are BEAUTIFUL BEASTS😍

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.

Love the video, first time watching your channel, subbed!

Bro… I haven’t even watched the video yet and I’m damn excited your channel has the comparison video!

Still the TRX for me

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.

Always makes me happy to see Brian in the videos

Awesome Video Both trucks are amazing .

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.

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.

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

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. 🔥

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.

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!!!

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 video.BOTH ARE GREAT TRUCKS😊

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.

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

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.

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.

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 😂

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.

That Raptor R is dope! I have a neighbor that has the TRX and it looks extremely heavy just sitting in the driveway

Trx is definitely my favorite, sound, powertrain, looks and interior. And it's not a ford I've had bad luck with fords.

I’m A Ride Or Die F150 Guy But The TRX Looks So Mean But That Raptor Looks So Slick!!!!

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.

Remember, the 5.2 is a duel overhead cam. It sounds different then a push rod engine like the TRX

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.

You deserved this Mike legit got me back into a ford.🎉 A raptor at that 😂

TRX all day! Also love to see Brian back with you !

Although I think the Ram looks more aggressive. I'm a Ford guy,so it's Raptor for me

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.?.

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)

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

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.

gonna put an order as soon as i can for a raptor r

I’ve been waiting for this moment for 2 years now

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.

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!!

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

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😊

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!

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.

First comment, love your videos

Love both and my choice is the R but for the money it is the TRX

TRX still my favorite

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 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.

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

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 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.

Does the Raptor R have the cabin noise eliminating speaker on it like my 2019 has? I turned mine off using Forscan, since I did have the ford performance exhaust put on and I wanted to HEAR the truck.

I’m not a dodge guy but that blower whine is great

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. 👍

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!

Did you manipulate the exhaust note in the Raptor? Isn’t there a way to change the exhaust note from the center screen?

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!

I think the tire difference is what’s causing the handling differences

Was the raptor in 4a or 4h on the drag race part? That would make a difference when comparing the two.

Both are badd ass trucks 💯. I couldn’t get past the gas mileage seeing I drive so much.

TRX looks beefier exterior and looks luxurious interior.

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.

I love the look of the trx

I like them both just different things in each truck if we could mix them together it would be the perfect truck

I own a 23 Raptor but I think the front end of the TRX looks better

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?

An embarrassment of riches sitting right there in your driveway!! Both trucks are insanely awesome!! I think I'll take one of each!!!

I'd prefer the TRX, but man... you can't really go wrong with either!

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.

It does not beat the TRX interior in the very slightest and you know that very well Mike

I'm a Ford guy all day and would love to own the Raptor R, however I must say that the Dodge looks good AF as well.

Can I just say I love the golf gloves 😂

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 think you need a better driver in the trx,love the TRX sounds better and is a better overall truck

You should do the cold start the same way, on the raptor you have the truck away from the garage door and the door open, and when you do the trx that was too close from the wall that change the sound a lot

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 🤷‍♂️

Mike, The Raptor R looks and runs great. I like it better than the TRX,m. Great to see Brian again. Your videos are super .

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

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!!

💪😉👍 thanks for the test of both trucks and greetings frome germany. Raptor R better for now, but the next gen TRX is comming.

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!

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.

I love my 2022 chevy Silverado trail boss 6.2 fast and fun off road.

I wonder if it's the stock exhaust in the ford that's not as loud since you said you had a different one on 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
