Off-road outsiders? Ford’s F-150 Raptor and Ram’s 1500 TRX garner all the headlines, but this pair likes to play, too.
These are the most rugged trucks in their respective lineups, with lifted and modified suspensions, gnarly tires, and various locking differentials. Neither cracks the 500-hp mark, and the Toyota doesn't even have a V-8 underhood. Their base prices are right around 70 grand, a large check to cut but still less than the $86,250 TRX or $109,245 Raptor R. And the"entry-level" F-150 Raptor, with its 450-hp 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6, still rings in at $78,670 to start.
Also less precise is the TRD Pro's off-road skillset. Where the Chevy is clearly configured for boulder-humping, the Toyota is more general purpose. The solitary locking differential sits in the rear axle pumpkin.
Both trucks are so-called"narrow-body" rigs, with ordinary full-size pickup widths. That means the Toyota's trio of amber marker lamps atop its grille is for show, not because such lights are legally required as on the widened Raptor and TRX. It also means the Silverado and Tundra are fairly wieldy, as parkable as any other large pickup, and able to fit on trails that might reshape the fenders of a TRX or Raptor.
