Bob Howard Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram invites you to compare the rugged power of the new 2021 Ram TRX to the Ford Raptor. If you are seeking a high-performance, legit off-road pickup you honestly only have 2 choices: the TRX and the Ford Raptor. While it is accurate that every brand has an off-road pickup, none can match the horsepower and strength of these 2 heavyweights. Yes, Ford was first with the Raptor but we believe we’ve surpassed them with the RAM TRX. This head-to-head matchup is years in the making, so let’s get to the specs to figure out the king of performance pickup trucks.
Previously driven by a rowdy V8, the Ford Raptor has a 3.5L EcoBoost V6 under the hood that generates 450hp and 500lb-ft. of torque. It is a powerful setup, but it’s lacking the visceral orchestra that can only come from a large V8. The TRX is driven by a Supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 engine that has 702hp and 650lb-ft of torque. The Hellcat engine is aptly titled because the combo of the whine of the supercharger paired with the V8 sounds truly demonic. It’s absolutely unrivaled and needs to be experienced personally.
The design of the Ford Raptor and RAM TRX is a little different when measured against your normal truck. The Ford Raptor features Trail Control™, 17-inch wheels, Electronic-Locking Rear Differential with 4.10 Rear-End, and Off-Road FOX Live Valve Racing Shox™. The TRX features drive modes, 18-inch alloy wheels, large 35-inch tires, and the all-new Bilstein® Black Hawk® e2 shock system. This new technology is the most refined system we have ever used on a production pickup truck and it’s only on the TRX.
As powerful as these trucks are, they are also appointed with notable technology. The Ford Raptor has a Rear Camera, AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™, and Curve Control as just a part of its standard tech. You can move up to technology like a 360-degree camera, Pro Trailer Backup Assist, Adaptive Cruise, a Blind Spot Information System, and more. The TRX Launch Edition will come with Adaptive Cruise, Deployable Bed-Step, Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof, and Lane Keep Assist. Available upgrades include a Heads-Up Display, a Trailer Reverse Steering Control System, Surround Camera, and more. When examining all the factors it’s clear to conclude that the TRX is the new King of performance pickup trucks.

Comparing the Ram TRX to the Ford Raptor | Bob Howard Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram
Excellent service. Quick, thorough, and reasonable. Staff were attentive on drop off and pickup. They kept us informed as to their progress throughout the day. No unnecessary upsells. Just good service.
I could not be happier with the service I got today. I went in for an oil change but we also talked about how far in advance to book recall work to make things easier in the future. Christopher Tannyhill was professional, friendly and extremely helpful.
The waiting room tv"s were turned off on a Saturday morning. The service was completed, yet the tech did not balance all 4 tire pressures after replacing the tire sensor and left each tire with a different pressure.
Hayden and Dalton were great! Very easy to work with. Very accommodating and brought the cat from Tulsa to OKC.
Everybody was amazing. There was zero pressure and after I explained what we wanted and the money I was willing to spend they did not try to hassle me. It is by far the smoothest purchase I’ve ever made at a dealership.
