Without the upcoming Ford Raptor R, the closest thing to a Ram TRX rival within the Blue Oval lineup is the 2021 Shelby F-150 Super Snake.

Alternatively, Hennessey Performance offers a similar tune for the full-size Ford truck called the Venom 775 F-150. It's just as powerful and the automaker wants to prove that it can hold up its own against the might Ram TRX. To do that, Hennessey orchestrated a drag race between the two – a supercharged F-150 versus a bone-stock Ram TRX on the American tuner's usual Pennzoil proving ground.

Before you watch the drag race, let's go through the numbers to see a black and white comparison between the two super trucks. The Hennessey Venom 775 F-150 is powered by a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. With a new 3.0-liter twin-screw supercharger and intercooler system, plus upgrades to the air filtration, throttle body, and engine management systems, the tuned truck has a final power output of 775 horsepower (570 kilowatts) and 685 pound-feet (929 Newton-meters) of torque.

Of note, the Venom 775 here is in regular cab configuration, which means that it's presumably lighter than the four-door Ram TRX.

Speaking of which, the Ram TRX propels itself via a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that makes 702 hp (516 kW) and 650 lb-ft (881 Nm) of pulling power. It's a bit down on power compared to the Venom 775 F-150 and the Shelby F-150 Super Snake, but we all know that it's not always about the power output.
