Which truck is capable of taking the title of superior amongst the two? Let's find out.

Power & Performance

Already, we see a significant difference in engine size and capability when it comes to the Raptor and TRX. The 2022 Ram 1500 TRX offers Sanford, ME drivers a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine capable of 702 horses and 650 pound-feet of torque. You can also expect standard four-wheel drive on the TRX. The 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor has a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine, boasting only 450 horses and 510 pound-feet of torque. When it comes to being a pickup truck dedicated to the off-roading lifestyle, the Raptor doesn't stand a chance next to the TRX.

Design

In terms of design, the 2022 Ram 1500 TRX comes with many more options than the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor, mainly due to its available packages. With the TRX, you can expect standard design elements such as flared fenders, amber LED lights in the hood scoop, and underbody skid plates. You can also opt for Rambox storage, a split multi-function tailgate, and a panoramic sunroof. With the Raptor, you won't get access to exclusively available packages and are only subject to minimal Raptor-specific design elements like the 35-inch all-terrain tires and Raptor fender flares and grille.

Technology and Comfort

The 2022 Ram 1500 TRX comes packed with features in and outside the cabin. For off-roading junkies, you'll appreciate the upgraded engine cooling, performance exhaust system, specialized lifted suspension with adaptive dampers, electronic rear differential, and trailer reverse steering control. On the road, you won't want to miss out on the head-up display, 12-inch infotainment center, and 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. With the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor, you'll get the 12-inch LCD carried over from five trims prior and other hand-me-down features from prior trims. The only Raptor-specific technology features you can count on are the off-roading suspension with adaptive Fox shock absorbers and the six upfitter switches.

Safety and Assistance

The 2022 Ram 1500 TRX is packed with safety features for Rochester, NH drivers to take advantage of. You can expect standard features such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure mitigation, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and a surround-view camera. On the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor, you won't be subject to additional features outside the standard trim safety technology, including lane departure warning and forward collision mitigation.
