2020 Ford F-150 vs 2021 RAM 1500 TRX - Does 700 HP Make One Of Them King Of The Hill?

The Ford F-150 Raptor has stood alone atop the off-road food chain since it debuted in 2010. The Raptor was built to traverse harsh off-road terrain and do it quickly, with the soul of a Baja 1000 competitor. No other half-ton truck has tapped into the formula of power plus off-road capability until now.

A new challenger has finally arrived, one that describes itself as the “apex predator of the truck world” and has a dinosaur-inspired name of its own. The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX (Ram does not shy away from the T-Rex association) seems to have the goods under the hood and enough off-road DNA to make a real run at the Raptor’s crown.

Potential reliability is a touch concerning with a Fiat supercharger. Ford has done a good job with the raptor and the turbos are detonating like many said they would so... Not sure how much faster the average Joe needs to be going when piloting a 6-7k lb truck. Let’s see how the ram does when it hits the market.

The Raptor is very well engineered and the Ram is obviously an on-a-shoestring effort.
