Way better purchase imo. Slightly more money than a standard raptor and much nicer/more capable. Picked up a 23 TRX a few weeks ago and couldn’t be happier

One thing that isn’t talked about much is the sound system comparison. The B&O system in my Raptor is trash. Ram’s TRX has a major advantage here as well. Now, I know that is not why we buy these trucks, but as a daily driver it’s sad that my radio is mostly off. It’s literally embarrassing.

Hey you make some great informative videos, thanks. You are uniquely qualified to answer this question: Today, would you recommend a TRX or a new Raptor v6? You and many other reviewers have said the regular Raptor drives like a Mercedes S Class. How does that factor into what you recommend (TRX or regular Raptor)?

No they are not! People are still willing to pay over msrp on eco boast raptors. Raptor R’s aren’t even available for any amount over msrp locally to me. If trxs were taken over the truck market than raptors would not be still going for over msrp. Trxs are getting sold for sticker and even some dealers are discounting them.

@This_is_Sparta83 Жыл бұрын

@@quitoduck No. raptors are still selling for over msrp. I agree with the trx being a better value but it was always a better value truck that isn’t anything new. But Dodge will never take over the sport pickup/truck category. Ford has always and will always dominate that category. There’s a reason why trxs were always available and raptor allocations were limited and over msrp. Try and get a raptor Bronco for less than 10-15k over msrp minimum lol

@quitoduck Жыл бұрын

All these comments about the Ram being better than the Ford- currently I'm a dyno tester here at F-150 assembly Dearborn Michigan where we assemble different variants of the F-150 including the Raptor. The Raptor R is a beast- not just under the hood but where it really counts if you're a Baja enthusiast- the suspension, yeah it might be on the expensive side and fundamentally considered the Lincoln of Baja trucks- but it's not for everyone, so if you can't afford it just say so and go with your TRX and settle for less. RAM is too closely related to Jeep and we all know how good quality Jeep is.. if you don't then you're just being ignorant
