Description

For years, the Ford F-150 Raptor was the only truly hardcore off-road pickup truck you could buy — that is, until the Ram 1500 TRX came along with a fire-breathing V8. Of course, the TRX then had to duke it out with the similarly powerful F-150 Raptor R. But now the TRX is dead, and the new top-dog Ram 1500 RHO ditches the V8 for a high-output inline-six. So, can the best from Ram keep up with the best from Ford despite the difference in power? Edmunds’ Emme Hall puts the Ram 1500 RHO and Ford F-150 Raptor R head-to-head in this off-road comparison test to find out. Disclaimer: Yes, we know the Ram 1500 RHO competes more directly with the regular F-150 Raptor, but Ford didn’t have one available for this comparison. 00:00 Intro 01:30 Lake Bed Run 04:20 Whoops 07:36 Jumps 09:58 Exterior & Accessories 12:51 Edmunds' Take Subscribe to Edmunds https://www.youtube.com/user/edmundsvideo?sub_confirmation=1 for the latest car news, car reviews, car comparisons, car shopping and advice.

Weird they didn't use the raptor ecoboost. That raptor R is 115k new. The RHO is 70k

Why are you comparing the Raptor R to the Ram RHO? A super charged V8 vs. a twin turbo inline 6. It makes more sense to compared the RHO with the Ecoboost Raptor….

The RHO is designed to compete with the V-6 Raptor, not the Raptor R. They are two completely different engine powertrains and price ranges.

I bought an RHO a month and a half ago. It’s an amazing truck. It’s a Jekyll and Hyde truck. Smooth going down the road commuting but mash the pedal and it rips (albeit quietly).

She was like don't worry about the ram being a better truck in and out.

Is the Raptor's power advantage enough to offset its huge price premium over the new Ram 1500 RHO, or is the V8 alone worth the extra money? Let us know in the comments!

Next video; Ecoboost Raptor VS the New TRX that’s coming back with almost 800 HP. Makes perfect sense😂
