he battle for the best high-performance pickup truck just got interesting now that the 702-horsepower Ram 1500 TRX has entered the arena. The Hellcat-powered half-ton has the Ford F-150 Raptor squarely in its sights, but until its Blue Oval rival adds more power and steps up its interior game, the Ram might rule. Rivalry aside, the TRX is an impressive and intimidating machine. Its body is 8 inches wider than the regular Ram 1500, and its off-road capabilities have been transformed. This is thanks to a stronger frame, an even more sophisticated suspension, and myriad other enhanced characteristics. The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is also loaded with a seriously luxurious interior and packed with all the latest technology. The only question left is whether the TRX can get more air over the jumps than the now seemingly obsolete Raptor.
What's New for 2021?
Ram has been teasing a high-powered rival to the F-150 Raptor since it debuted a badass concept truck back in 2016, but now the wait is over and the teasing has turned to reality. What's especially neat—besides the fact it packs a 700-plus-horsepower Hellcat motor—is that the production TRX looks pretty close to what was promised.
Price
Base: $71,690
Launch Edition: $90,265
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Hiding between the TRX's bulging fenders and below its scooped hood is a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8. More popularly known as the Hellcat engine, this specific version produces 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The TRX has a claimed zero-to-60-mph time of 4.5 seconds and is said to complete the quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds at 108 mph. While those acceleration times are hugely impressive for any pickup—even a high-performance one—the Hellcat-powered Ram is actually meant to play in the mud, rocks, and sand.

Ram has redefined expectations for truck interiors with its latest half-ton pickups, which deliver rich-looking materials and impeccable insulation from outside noise. That level of luxury and refinement looks to continue on the TRX, which is offered solely as a crew cab with the short cargo bed. Inside, the base model's cloth upholstery and standard equipment is based on the Ram 1500 Rebel. However, the optional TR1 and TR2 packages make the cabin look and feel significantly snazzier thanks to leather-covered surfaces and a mix of microsuede and carbon-fiber accents.
2021 Ford Ranger Raptor (review)
The Ford Ranger Raptor is basically a downsized version of the high-flying, velocity-defying F-150 Raptor. As with its big brother, the off-road-ready Ranger will also feature flared fenders, rugged tires, extra ground clearance, and an unmistakable grille. While it will ride on the same fully boxed ladder frame as the regular Ranger, the Raptor variant will receive a long-travel suspension for soaring over jumps and a more powerful engine for quicker desert runs. The Ford will probably only be offered in one body style—a crew cab connected to a five-foot cargo box.
Price
Ranger Raptor: $44,500 (est)
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
One of the biggest questions surrounding the U.S.-spec Ranger Raptor is what engine will be under the hood. In other markets, Ford powers this truck with a diesel four-cylinder, but we doubt it would bring that engine to our shores. And although we'd love to see Ford stuff its twin-turbo 2.7-liter V-6 in the hi-po Ranger, that would require significant reengineering—something that's unlikely to happen. That only leaves one obvious candidate: the turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder that once powered the Ford Focus RS and is now available on the Ford Mustang. We know it can make up to 350 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, and it's compatible with the 10-speed automatic transmission that comes on the regular Ranger.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

Inside, the Raptorized Ranger will be mildly different from its regular counterpart. While we still expect an abundance of hard plastics and some rubberized materials, Ford will likely spruce up the cabin with exclusive content. The overseas version boasts leather and microsuede upholstery and heavily bolstered front seats. In addition to hosting a pair of aluminum paddle shifters, the steering wheel has a red band at the 12 o'clock mark, denoting its performance edge.
