I’ve always wanted a Raptor. I like the looks and power. But now Ram just came out with the RHO, which is even more powerful and a little less expensive. Plus, Ford doesn’t offer the Raptor in light blue anymore and that’s the color I wanted. The Raptor is more proven, as this is the first model year for RHO and its turbo inline 6 engine. Anyone have experience or advice?

I currently have a 2016 Tundra which I still love and might also keep. Hate to get rid of a truck that hasn’t given me any issues. But I have the itch for a new truck and my Tundra is only 2WD.

If you want it and can get it, why not? I’m personally not a fan of either. With your truck being 2wd why not lift it and throw big tires on it? Way cheaper.

That Ram RHO is pretty sweet looking. I vote for it!

I’ve driven a Ford for the previous 6 years. It’s not as bad as it’s rep, so I’m taking the raptor.

The RHO is not faster or cheaper than the Ford truck in that pic.

Really can't go wrong with either, I'd pick the RHO though

I’ve had 4 raptors and have an RHO on order. The interior is better on the RHO and it will be slightly faster. I prefer the exterior of the Raptor and the longer suspension travel compared to TRX/RHO. Can’t go wrong with either

My neighbor a few doors down has a TRX and he wakes everyone up in the hood when he leaves for the gym at 5:30 every morning. Dope rig.

Just got my first raptor 3 weeks ago. Best truck I’ve ever ridden in. Actually got them to come off of MSRP. Kept my 2014 XLT.

Ford Raptor would be my choice. You don't want to pick the Dodge and start driving like a maniacal arse hole.

Those trucks are stupid, it would be like having a lifted 911. Oh wait, never mind.

Have you looked into the ram TRX? I’ve always thought that was the competition vs the ford raptor. Both are awesome looking trucks

They actually seek them right out of the factory. The 911 Dakar.

Pretty wild looking, you can even get it with the old school looking rally graphics.

The TRX is well north of $100k though and Ram quit making them. Pretty awesome but more than I want to spend.

I’ve had 2 TRX’s and 4 Raptors. Still have my 2014 SCAB Roush Raptor and love that thing. I almost bought the new Raptor R a few months back, but couldn’t justified the price tag. After having both, I’d like the TRX interior but everything else give me the Raptor.

All 2500 sold almost immediately. A larger percentage of them than I figured sold with the vintage wraps, at least based on the ones I have seen for sale.
