Both are winners.
The Ford F-150 Raptor or the Ram Power Wagon are the best options if you’re looking for an off-road large-sized truck . Both are powerful pickups, but they also have very distinct characteristics. You might be wondering how they are different. To answer your question, here’s a comparison video from Edmunds.
Our colleagues describe the Raptor as an offroad sports car. It is “designed for high speeds through loose territory and high-flying actions” thanks to its twin-turbo V6. The Power Wagon, on the other hand, is a more rugged vehicle that can handle any terrain. It has locking front and back differentials, high payloads and towing figures, as well as a higher suspension.
The Power Wagon is not only more fun to drive than the Raptor on off-road terrain, but it also has a wider range of maneuverability, which can be a huge advantage in certain cases. Ram’s V8 truck, on the other hand is better at towing, but, hey, why would you tow your toys into an off-road park if your towing vehicle is the toy?
More differences? The Raptor’s locking differential is one, while the Power Wagon has two. Both trucks have tons of clearance, but Ram’s truck has a smart disabling front sway bar.
Both are very capable trucks. The Ram is built for work, while the Ford is more sporty. Both trucks have distinct characteristics so if you’re looking for a tough truck with a lot of power, both are worth considering. There is no winner in this case – both trucks are up for any adventure.
