Ford Raptor R vs Ram TRX

[Dudebrodude]

I believe when it's said and done, the two trucks' performance will be very close. And given that the Raptor R will be so rare I'll likely never ride in one...I think TRX may have the value advantage, at least for the time being. You can order a base model TRX from several dealers nationwide for $69k ($10k off MSRP). You can get a top of the line TRX for $90k ($100k MSRP - $10k volume dealer discounts). The Raptor R may arguably look a little better. But man, you can have two base TRXs for 1 Raptor R...and that's if you can actually buy a Raptor R.

100% agree. I love my TRX but would consider a Raptor R if I could get it at MSRP only because of the factory 37s and better shock package. I have almost 1,000 offroad miles in my TRX and would love a Raptor R to compare against.

Both trucks are capable as hell out of the box. They're nearly identical performance wise offroad but the biggest difference is that the Raptor is easier to extract the offroad performance. The Raptor will enable most drivers to be fast in the desert while the TRX has to be driven hard to get the most out of it.

Unbelievable.

I think most people here would rather have a “base R” over a loaded TRX Within a 10k difference anyway. If you don’t, well you probably won’t get off pavement anyway.

They said order books are open today... but no options list? What does this mean that the order books are open if you can't spec it out?

As I suspected…

Seems the only options are what color do you want, and with or without stickers.

Saw where there is supposed to be a sunroof delete too.

The truck can be ordered with or without the moonroof. It does not come standard so therefore no delete is needed.

Well just my two cents (not sure it's worth even that with inflation)

My 2021 Ram TRX Level II
- Sticker Price was $85,500
- Paid $79,000 (this included a 7yr/75k bumper to bumper extended warranty)

The Raptor R has a $24,000 higher sticker price for the base model. I'm going to guess that the Raptor R is going to be one hell of a truck, but it's not going to be $24,000 better than my TRX when comparing sticker to sticker price. At least not for what I need and want out of a truck.

Dealer texted me said they “ will know more at today at 430pm when they open up to dealers”. We will see I guess. No roof no stickers, Just let me pick the color.

The Raptor R comes full loaded for the extra $24,000.
