Off-road enthusiasts can choose between the 2023 FordF-150 Raptor R and the 2023 Ram 1500 TRX, both of which are high-performance pickup trucks.

There are some parallels between the two trucks, yet they are fundamentally different.

The Raptor R is driven by a 5.2-liter supercharged V8 engine producing 700 horsepower, while the TRX is propelled by a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 producing 702.

If you compare the TRX to the Raptor R, you'll find that the latter has an estimated top speed of 118 mph, while the former only manages 116 mph.

Both pickups are equipped with high-tech components that improve their off-road performance, such as off-road tyres, stronger suspensions, and skid plates.

Yet, the Raptor R is more capable of handling and stability because to its upgraded front suspension system and greater selection of driving modes.

Both the FordF-150 Raptor R and the Ram 1500 TRX are formidable off-road vehicles, but the Raptor R has the upper hand in terms of velocity and responsiveness.
