Ford F150 Raptor
There’s no doubt the Ford F150 Raptor is an attention-getter. It’s built its name as a high-performance pickup, dominating all other trucks on the market in performance. And the Ford F150 Raptor is returning to much-deserved fanfare.
It’s twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 packs a wallop at 450 horses. The 10-speed tranny is everything you need to put that power to good use. A new all-terrain selector and Fox Racing shocks make the Raptor off-road capable, although with its price approaching $100k, it’s unlikely most will ever see anything but pavement.
Ram Rebel TRX
Fiat Chrysler has promised us a competitor to Ford’s notorious SVT Raptor. And it looks like they’ve developed a worthy adversary after all. The Ram Rebel TRX isn’t officially headed to production yet. We’re confident it will be, as the RamTrucks.com website has a ‘coming vehicles’ section listing this beast.
The Ram Rebel TRX is touted as the off-road king. Stunning, brazen looks are almost too nice to take off the trail, yet the lifted body, the oversized tires, and the LED light bars beg to run wild. And run wild it shall. The engine is a version of the Hellcat series’ supercharged 6.2-liter, tamed to 575 horsepower. But don’t think it’s all rugged. The interior is bound to contain the pinnacle of comforts in truck land.
Chevrolet Silverado
Since the redesign in 2014, the Silverado has stayed pretty much the same except for a few tweaks. And that’s fair, since it seems to be a well-built truck. It isn’t new, nor is it bold and brash, but there’s a place for tried and true on the list.
The Chevrolet Silverado will remain virtually unchanged. A few features have been added, including Teen Driver mode, optional Low Speed Mitigation Braking, and Android Auto has finally been implemented.
Yet, if you’re looking for a diesel-powered ruck, the Silverado HD gets an upgraded Duramax engine. The 6.6-liter powerplant is said to have 910 lb-ft of torque and 445 horsepower, set to lead the segment.
