![]() The Raptor has two more for drivers to play with. ![]() While the TRX wins the power duel hands down, it's not as obvious when it comes to the transmission, as the Ram inherits an 8-speed automatic unit. The 2021 Raptor, as mentioned, will probably be more muscular between the two front wheels than before. For that, Ram could consider the 6.4L HEMI V8 block or even the 5.7L engine that's already in use at FCA. At the same time, speculation has already flooded websites around the world about the possibility of Ram offering a less-powerful trim of the TRX. It will have to upgrade its ammo if it doesn't want to be outgunned by its new competitor. The Ford F-150 Raptor, in comparison, produces 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. The new Ram 1500 TRX delivers 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. The 6.2L displacement of this HEMI unit with a positive displacement compressor is larger than the 3.5L displacement of Ford's twin-turbo EcoBoost V6. The new TRX uses the same supercharged V8 engine as the Hellcat versions of the Dodge Challenger and Charger. Makes sense to start with what's under the hood. It's assumed, by the way, that Ford will introduce a more beastly Raptor for 2021, in light of its new rival coming over the horizon. We expect it won't be long now, but in the meantime, we'll make do with this first comparison in numbers. It's worth mentioning at the outset that Ford hasn't yet revealed the details of its next Raptor, even though it has detailed most of the other versions of the 2021 F-Series. In other words, this time around, Ram has come up with the real deal, a Godzilla to Ford’s King Kong!īut let's compare some data about the two protagonists, just for the fun of it. Not only does the supercharged V8 powertrain of FCA's new monster eclipse Ford's twin-turbo V6, but other details in the spec sheet make the newcomer a real contender, unlike the Ram 1500 Rebel introduced a few years after the first Raptor. Now, I have to say that at first glance, FCA has gone the distance with its latest 4x4 toy. ![]() 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor: 14.The Ford F-150 Raptor and the Ram 1500 TRX, frontĪnd yet, the F-150 Raptor lacked a direct rival.The GMC Syclone is also quicker than the Ford F-150 Raptor under its own power: Well, actually the Ram was too powerful for the Rivian R1T with a GMC Syclone in the back (some 6,000 lbs of additional weight), but the Ford F-150 Raptor was beaten. as long as the Rivian R1T races with it on the trailer.
