Dinosaur Fight!
Ford V. Ram
For more than a decade the Ford Raptor has been blazing through sand dunes, mud terrains, and rock crawling. This beast of a truck has been virtually doing whatever it pleased without any worthy competitor. Until now...
Dodge Ram has been teasing the public for a few of years now with a worthy opponent for the Raptor. Ram has called this newly developed truck the TRX. Leaks and rumors suggest that FCA is not going to go easy on Ford when it comes to high performing trucks. As a huge gear head myself, I can already tell that the Dodge Ram TRX will be significantly more powerful than the Raptor. Ford has made the very hard decision to equip the second generation Raptor with an ecoboost V6 engine. That decision by Ford has made a lot of people angry. The TRX will most likely be fitted with a hellcat engine and it will instantly become one of the fastest trucks in the market.
FCA announced on their social medias that the TRX would be released sometime during late summer 2020. That means that we are not too far away from an official unveiling. We do however have some leaks that were reported by TFL trucks on a youtube video.
This is a video by FCA that they released about 4 years ago on youtube. It shows the attention to detail that is being put into this truck. If they have been working on it for more than four years then I hope we get a truck that will exceed all of our expectations.
One of the things that really caught my attention in the TFL video was this illustration inside of the TRX. If you look closely you can see a T-Rex chasing a velociraptor. If anything this is Dodge trying to show how much more powerful the TRX will be compared to the Raptor.
We should expect FCA to unveil the TRX sometime soon and we are excited for it here at DriveBar. We hope that Ford steps up their game and fits the Raptor with a powerful engine to compete against the TRX. We will keep you updated on any new information. Thanks for reading, stay buzzed.
