With less displacement, power, and torque than the Ram TRX, can the Raptor R “Predator” keep from becoming prey?
. It'll be a difference you may be hard-pressed to care much about, as both of these things launch like monsters. Their soft suspensions allow the rear ends of each to squat substantially. In the Raptor R, as the front end struggles to deliver torque to pavement in this lightened state, we felt a bit more torque steer than we recall from the TRX. Sport mode even orders up a modicum of over-fueling to deliver those wonderful little overrun backfires and pops.
But although we expect Raptor R to outsprint the heavier TRX, if the chase is long enough and smooth enough to allow each truck to sustain its governed top speed, the Ram will chase down the Ford because its tires are rated for 118 mph—6 mph faster than the Raptor's.
The TRX employs aluminum-bodied 2.5-inch Bilstein Blackhawk e2 monotube shocks, with each connected via braided-steel lines to a chassis-mounted remote reservoir. One of two electronically controlled valves connects these reservoirs to either the jounce or rebound chamber, offering what sounds to us like a broader range of overall control. We look forward to an opportunity for side-by-side comparison.
About all we can say for now is that no rain-sodden Michigan sand dune can make a Raptor R sweat even a tiny bit. We repeatedly bounded up and over towering dunes, never eliciting so much as a groan, clunk, or loose-panel vibration, let alone a need for recovery assistance.
