2023 Ford Ranger Raptor Unleashed: A Comprehensive Review from McKie Ford Lincoln, Rapid City, South Dakota


Raptor vs. TRD Pro

When comparing the off-road-focused variants of these two trucks, the Ford Ranger Raptor and the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro, the Ranger Raptor stands out as the more capable and advanced option. The Ranger Raptor is equipped with a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that delivers 392 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, significantly more than the Tacoma TRD Pro’s 278-horsepower V6 engine. The Raptor also features a unique suspension system with Fox Racing shocks, long-travel suspension, and reinforced components designed for high-speed desert running and extreme off-roading. These features make the Ranger Raptor the superior choice for those who demand the highest level of off-road performance.

While capable, the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro doesn’t match the Raptor’s performance or off-road features. The TRD Pro has a 1-inch front lift, Fox internal bypass shocks, and TRD-tuned front springs, enhancing its off-road capabilities. However, it lacks the power and advanced suspension technology found in the Ranger Raptor. The TRD Pro is a solid choice for off-road enthusiasts who prefer a more traditional approach, but for those looking for cutting-edge off-road performance, the Ranger Raptor is the clear winner.
