Engine/Power

The 2022 Ford Raptor offers a solid, traditional truck ride, with a V6 gas engine and a standard four-wheel drive. The Raptor gets 15 miles per gallon in the city and 18 on the highway. With a 26-gallon gas tank, that gives you a range of 390 miles in the city and 468 miles on the highway. With 450 horsepower and a 47.3-ft turning diameter, the Ford Raptor’s maximum payload is 1,410 pounds.

Ram’s answer to the 2022 Raptor, the 2022 Ram Rebel, is a truck with a V6 hybrid engine, giving the Ram Rebel more efficiency when it comes to mileage. The Rebel gets 19 miles per gallon in the city and 24 on the highway. Its 26-gallon gas tank gives drivers a range of 437 miles in the city and 552 on the highway. Although the Rebel’s horsepower is lower, at 395, its max payload is 1,590 pounds, almost 200 pounds more than the Raptor. With a 45.8-ft turning diameter, the Rebel offers more precise handling than its Ford competitor.

Driving Experience

The Ford Raptor has electric power steering and cruise control, ensuring a smooth drive in town and on the highway. An adjustable, heated leather steering wheel and keyless ignition create a seamless starting and stopping experience. Rearview cameras and parking alerts help you navigate the city and park safely, while front and rear cupholders and seat-back storage allow you to store some supplies, although the storage room in the standard Raptor is less than in more deluxe F-150 models.

The 2022 Ram Rebel provides a smooth ride with additional storage at a lower cost point. The Rebel’s power steering and cruise control, along with its telescopic steering column, make this truck a comfortable vehicle for short journeys and long road trips. Keyless ignition and rearview cameras make it easier than ever to set off on an adventure. The Ram Rebel has a significant advantage over the Raptor when it comes to storage with its cup holders and overhead console space, allowing you to carry more supplies in a compact area.

Exterior

The standard Raptor is available in six colors: Oxford White, Iconic Silver Metallic, Code Orange Metallic, Atlas Blue Metallic, Antimatter Blue Metallic, and Agate Black Metallic. Drivers can also get the truck in an optional Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat. The Raptor features 17-inch alloy wheel rims and a standard hitch, though customers can add a range of optional packages, including 37-inch tires and upgraded headlights. Each Raptor comes with colored accent bumpers and a uniquely styled grill, with “Ford” in block letters.

The 2022 Ram Rebel comes in six total colors, including three monochrome and three two-tone shades. The monochrome colors are Diamond Black, Crystal Pearl, and Billet Silver, and the two-tone colors are Hydro Blue Pearl, Flame Red, and Bright White. Each Ram Rebel comes with a Sport Performance Hood and a standard trailers hitch. Customers can add packages and features like an optional multifunction tailgate and the signature RamBox Cargo Management System. The Ram’s standard aluminum wheels are larger than the Raptor’s at 18 inches.

Interior

The 2022 Ford Raptor comes with a standard interior aluminum trim, though customers can upgrade to a carbon fiber interior trim if they want more luxury in their truck. The truck seats five, with adjustable seats and a 12-inch connectivity touch screen. Customers can upgrade their speaker systems to improve sound quality. While the standard interior has basic features, performance packages can increase the cabin size and improve overall comfort.

The 2022 Ram Rebel comes in two interior trims, a solid black and a two-toned red and black color scheme. The truck’s standard entertainment system is an 8.4-inch customizable touch screen, but customers can upgrade to a 12-inch screen if they want a larger interface. All Ram Rebels come with a Driver Information Digital Cluster Display, which shows mileage, gas levels, and other key performance metrics in one place. The truck also seats five, with a 10-way adjustable driver’s seat and Ram’s new signature air filtration system.

Safety Features

Both trucks come with comprehensive safety features. The 2022 Ford Raptor features traction control and anti-lock brakes for fast stopping on roads and off-road surfaces. It also has a blind spot and lane change alert system to help you navigate city roads and highways easily. Drivers and passengers can feel safe with the truck’s front and rear head airbags and airbag deactivation system. Additional performance packages can add to the truck’s safety features and improve the overall ride.

The 2022 Ram Rebel provides solid safety features at a lower price point than the Ford Raptor. The truck’s standard safety system includes traction control and an anti-lock braking system with brake drying, ensuring a safe and smooth ride under all weather conditions. Dual front side-mounted airbags and front and rear head airbags provide security for drivers and passengers. Customers who want to upgrade their truck’s safety systems with optional features, like a Parallel and Perpendicular Parking Assist system and a 360-Degree Trailer Surround View Camera, can add safety and performance packages to their truck.

Overall, these two trucks provide a similar driving experience, but the Ram Rebel’s extra storage, better gas mileage, and lower price make it a fantastic value for truck-lovers looking for a new ride.
