Not a lot of good comments from the public so far. When it comes to trucks like this I think function is more important than anything else. So many companies put out products as "off road" or "trail rated". And then when you compare them to their stock products there is no great difference. The Raptor is the first truck that backs up it's claims as being the ultimate off road truck. I wouldn't think twice about another truck until somebody puts something out that can hang with a Raptor.

@Frank... my understanding is that this is actually basically just a TRX by a new name...

TRX4 Goes Outdoors
Ram has announced that the TRX4 off-road package has been renamed on all Ram 1500s as the Outdoorsman. And for the first time, the heavy-duty trucks get the same dedicated off-road package as the 1/2-ton. Rather than catering to wheelers, Ram is targeting the Outdoorsman models as a package for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you check off the Outdoorsman package on the 1500 or HD trucks, you'll get standard trailer towing and lighting upgrades, as well as skidplates and all-terrain tires, along with a limited-slip differential and two-tone paint. The Ram Box is optional on the 1500 models and can be upgraded with the new Ram Box Holster option to securely carry either long guns or fishing rods.
