#Ram #TRX #Trucks
Not sure what it is but I love watching videos of vehicles being made.... It’s pretty cool stuff! Thanks for the inside peek at the TRX being built! Ram fan or not that’s a serious rig!
Its supposed to rival the Ford Raptor. I work in the plant that builds these, actually. =]
They just put a vin on my trx last week.
Wow that's a hot truck!!!
I wonder at what point they tell the truck it has ABS? Because they forgot that part on mine. Lol
You do a great job as a narrator, I hope they got your dad a fancy truck shirt for his collection.
I hope so too!
Best looking truck ever ,even if im a Ford user guy !
Both are great !
As a Raptor owner with a TRX on order, this was great to watch. Robots really are taking over though. A cousin-in-law is the safety manager at a plant with over a million square feet under roof, and less than 30 people “run” the place. They have robots that resupply other robots.
Lucky you😎
Hell ya, enjoy that beautiful beast of a truck
Robots aren't taking over. They have been in use for decades
8000+ active employees at SHAP. Over 2500 per shift. Robots only do the heavy lifting. I was an employee when this went into production.
opt out and it will cost 100k with dealer mark up no thank you
You're a little under on top trim level cost lol, I wish max optioned it costs $83K! The one I optioned out was $92K and these launch editions are going for above that even.
I agree with you. My came in at 93k.
I wish I could afford to buy a 70 to 80 K pickup truck because this TRX is pretty killer. My salary has not kept up with the increasing prices of vehicles. The assembly technology and production process of vehicles is pretty amazing. Folks at Sterling Heights should be proud of the company's investment and what the people have done. I support Dodge and RAM and even though they are FCA they seem to be cranking our lots of American only muscle for the U.S. Markets and what's not to like about that.
Still dissapointed that the base trx isnt 55k with the 392 hemi, as the hellcrate engine is a 20-25k upgrade in everything else over 392 trims
Nice, if only it wasn’t 500% over my budget. 😅
Buy it used
Much cheaper
Hustle harder
Mom and dad told you to stay in school so you could get a real job.
No wonder why these trucks cost so much, got to keep all the overweight workers fed.
They make about fifty an hour (depends on the union). Buy their own food.
The price of a small home, yet, this truck has a 30-40% depreciation in 5 years! The home will appreciate 15-20% in 5 years at current rates. Hummm, pass.
So a car depreciates and a house appreciates. This is not new. But if you don't want to buy a car and choose to bike, walk or ride the bus then kudos to you. I for one like to drive a car.
Nobody buys a vehicle as an investment, outside of extremely niche speciality vehicles that have some type of historical value. You buy a vehicle because you want to drive the thing. Single-family homes aren't particularly great investments either if you're living in it for yourself. After maintenance, taxes, and inflation you'll be lucky to get a net profit of a percentage or two. You should buy a home because you want to live in it, or use it as a means to hold value, or because you plan to gift it to your kids. The best real estate to buy is real estate that pays you each month from rentals, if your goal is to maximize profit.
As someone who works in a manufacturing facility I'm surprised to see that people are generally allowed to wear whatever. We were told to wear jeans and steel toe boots or else you'll get sent home and that goes for every part of the facility.
Ram laid back
Merry Christmas 🎄 Truck King n King Dad!!!☺I bet we'll see one of these in a new Hollywood movie 🎥
Purchased my 2005 Ram Quad SRT-10 “Yellow Fever” new and never had a day of trouble. Love their products. Now post a video with out narration, factory sounds only please.
Great to hear! I've been looking for one of those.
Damn that's a great looking truck
Still a FCA product!
Awesome truck!!! Love color and power for a production truck !
This is what the most advanced truck manufacturing facility in the world looks like 😍 Ram really raising the bar again...Ford and GM better get to work!
@C T Are you referring to River Rouge? Because that plant is not even close to SHAP, and hasn't had any major upgrades other than retooling in almost 10 years. I toured both plants in 2019 and it was a night and day difference... unless you're referring to Ford's KC plant...but I believe that plant is even more dated than RR
@@Lq32332 same lol, my gen2 raptor blew the engine at 22k miles, front diff cracked at 40k, power steering replaced 3 times, list goes on. Like lots of raptor owners, I'm selling it to get a TRX. Ram is the new leader right now...
@C T Every truck at SHAP is started and Dyno tested as well. They just dont show that in the video. ;)
@C T yeah thats why theres dirt in my trucks clearcoat, doors holding water, sunroofs leaking, elect harness under rear bumper shorting out the whole truck, doors not aligned correctly, bed not aligned with cab, trucks leaning to the right. fords assembly and quality control flat out sucks.
great truck
It is an awesome truck and thanks for sharing. Only problem is it's not for your average middle class working guy because of the price. I hope all the guys (that can afford one), really enjoy it!
What a beast.
Thats the most beautiful truck ever made 😍
Thank you Truck King!!!!... Awesome video of the TRX Plant...I really enjoyed this video.. Right on Truck King!!😎
THEY TOOK OUR JOBSSSSSS
Who, other Americans?
@@RagingBad its from South Park bub. Talking about the robots.
This is done because unions caused these vehicles to cost to much over paid workers
@@sxstexan1956 got it 😄
@@williamtarpley4025 That’s a bullsh!t lie!! Robots in certain areas for certain jobs, reduce the risks of injury to the worker. And trust me, as a retired Chrysler JNAP (Home of the Jeep Grand Cherokee) employee (who through the years worked in every department) and the parent of a son who works at this very plant (SHAP)....those robotic jobs, nobody wants! Ex. Lifting the whole frame onto the chassis! Keep your ignorant lies to yourself.
If I had the extra $ I'd definitely get this truck
@C T if and only if I own a gas station....
People who spend $90,000+ on a truck don’t care how little mileage it gets haha
In Canada with every option and taxes it's $140,000 out the door using Ram's build and price. For that much money assembly line employees should atleast be wearing black formal tuxedos, lol.
@@pajamatime5750 Very true.
Beautiful truck. I have a Dodge ram 2017 eco-diesel that has currently been waiting on a engine part for over 60 days
Update. 86 days my 2017 was pulled off the road waiting for a part.
The King is here !!!!!!!!! RAM TRX!!!!!!
why is the majority of the workers really overweight.... i mean if its that easy maybe we should cut down on some of them then the vehicles would become affordable again.. im done buying new ive paid for several brand new vehicles for me and my wife and im done ill buy used and fix them.. im so tired of paying what most americans pay for their house, for my vehicles...
Berny, you too can get fat & an become an overpaid union worker, then you may buy these high dollar vehicles & bags of Big Macs!!!
Exhaust cutouts for the neighbors.
maybe it will last 100 or 150 k miles maybe
My 2019 ram 1500 had issues the first week. It had major issues at 20k . I had to trade it in.
The technology and robotics are crazy!
Very shotty operation there people manhandling the fuck out of everything yeah that truck is going to be falling apart
Most of them look like Democrats to me.
It would be cool if they let them sign the paperwork so who ever buys it really knows who builded it.
I think little children built my 2019 ram I sold.
Great truck, but way above what I would pay.
RAM is forcing Ford and GM to up their game.
Ford answered with the new 2021 trucks. Nice. The next Raptor has to be special.
GM said they can wait......
It will be interesting to see the next Tundra. Will it be a WOW and high quality?
GM is a dying company
As a whole, Ford is the bar....(Aluminum, Ecoboost, pro trailer, tail gate step etc) They created the Baha segment that Ram finally answered. All RAM did was create a small niche halo/limited segment that pushed the price up $20,000 for a extra 250hp with some old school sound.
@@lrr5586 I will guess you only buy Ford. For now, RAM is the best deal due to incentives. I would pick the new Ford if they had incentives. For now, I will stay with my Ridgeline.
@@lrr5586 if you say so!!
@@lrr5586 Aluminum is weak and difficult to repair. The ecoboost engine is unreliable. If you need pro trailer then you probably shouldn't be towing. The tail gate step doesn't last, and the step that the ram has under the rear bumper works just as well.
You said “robots” like an American. Lol
That price just 2nyears later, has gone up about 10k lol. Now a level one is about the same price as a previously fully loaded level 2. Crazy. That’s not inflation, that’s greed and good marketing
Guess they wanted to be bigger than a Raptor so they just called it TRX for tyrannosaurus rex...? Still just looks like a Ford raptor to me... I'm going to call it a dodge raptor!
Thats the truck that sold in a charity auction for like 400 GRAND.
Wow, great video my friend, great video………
It looks that this particular truck will be auctioned off with the money going to charity.
That's correct, No#1 will be auctioned for charity.
Ram quality is horrible - had three of them and they are pure junk
I'd build one all by myself if I could have it for free 😁
As a TRX owner I am damn proud owning this RAM
I hope the transmission last for long without issues 🤷🏻
Everyone is kissing Rams 🐏 Ass now. It's pretty funny really. It's a extremely high dollar truck. That costs about 45 to 50 grand to build.
Is that suppose to be some grand observation? Anyway, you can say that about virtually any product. Lets take insurance for example, where the profit is 100%. They get all your money and you get a piece of paper. How's that for cost to profit?
The TRX Engine is NOT a Hellcat engine. There is a video on TH-cam from the engineers or designers talking about the power plant. They say its their base 6.2 L that they tweak and tune and use different internals than the Hellcat engine.
The question is...how long it will last? Reliability will decide the fate of this truck as it is no different than Laramie which had a long list of annoying problems, ended up returning it and picked F150 Lariat, driving since last 1 year and have zero issues except that I can't hear if the engine is running most of the time. Hopefully Dogde's Hyundai type of innovstive designs and marketing approach will help them continue bringing better models.
Let me know when it outsells the Raptor or any other Ford truck. How does it feel to know no matter what you build, it will sell less than a Ford?
Fords are only number one because of their aggressive fleet sales program.
RAM!
Enjoyed the video. It cool to see other aspects of the truck other then just someone driving it. Thanks !
Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s honestly crazy how the robot merges the body to the frame.
Fascinating to watch, eh?
Cool! Didn't even know they made these in the city right next to me. Nice. Now if it weren't insanely expensive I'd go for one.
Like there's anything offroad about that! Just as well have a kia!
Don't watch if you don't like ! You shouldn't comment ,if you don't know shit ! Lmao !
@@michaelpincavitch5245 Got yer $100,000 Offroad[airquotes] pickup truck on order then?
@@majestical5331 You and the bank huh?
I did the pneumatic/hydraulic air and water power on the robots/end effectors and tool bases. Very interesting to say the least.
not allowed to b sold or mass(over 5k limit racing shit rather than street or both) produced bc does not meet the min MPG rating GOD's rules. Will b confiscated & crushed or prted out.
The ram looks good but cant wait for the raptor
It was eaten by the TRX.
Ford will never put the coyote or other V8 into the Raptor. FCA's hail Mary pass with the 392 Wrangler as an answer to the Bronco says FCA is willing to listen to what people want.
@@VoIPPortland That would be headed in the opposite direction of their path towards turbo charges. That would be like taking a giant step backwards. Its highly unlikely (though not unprecedented) they would do that.
AMAZING +++++++++++++++++++++++++
Really cool!
The game changer 🇺🇸
COOL +++++++++++++++++++
I would be so bored building cars in this manner
You would feel like a robot yourself but hay it’s an honest living.
Raptor Killer!
2:42, nice work attire. 🙄
Looks like a raptor from far away. Also, doesn't look very off road. Maybe just tires.
I need this truck in my Garage 💪💪
We don't need it but we want it
Ram will enjoy a year or two being on top, but when the new raptor comes out it will be pushed back down.
3 in
A row
Truck of the year first time ever for a truck
@@grantdavidson3539 good thing they aren't rated for longevity. RAM trucks are notorious for quality issues
Awesome video! Looks like a well put together production line. And I love to see all these American jobs, even though the robots are clearly coming to take over (yang2024, let's go!).
LOL why all the workers are on the heavy side
Awesome!
Nice!
👍
don't the chassis frame & body of the RAM TRX need to be reinforced to counter the dynamic forces of driving a 702 hp 6.2 supercharged V8??? can the RAM TRX be fitted with a proper heavy duty 3.0 in. suspension lift???
Maybe you should watch a video about the actual turck.Just a thought...
❤️
The narrator of the video is Stephen that was with TFL Trucks. Wondering if he moved on? TFL really seems to go through a lot of people.
This is my own channel now.
I know what I'll be spending my SS on. 👍
I pass by this factory every time i go to work
Awesome video usually don't see this type of video but I enjoyed it. Finally I want the truck and of I had the money right now mine would be in production now
Glad you enjoyed!
Did I hear the manager say 4 or 5 years ago when they first launched the 1500 series ??? If I am not mistaken the 1500 series has been out for a lot longer than that .
being built at that plant...
I would like to know where the first one goes in the journey
Straight to a Barrett-Jackson auction 🤣
Probably for recalls
The mall. And stop lights so it can race around on pavement anything other than off-road.
Awesome video! Thx u
Glad you liked it!
Do you lose money if we skip TH-cam videos by going to the end then restarting? If you do let me know
Rob wells? We are honoured to have Ricky from Trailer Park Boys on our channel. And, yes we only get paid if you watch the ads. Thanks.
Enjoyed the video..nice to see that part of the truck..Love the truck..dont know if I will be able to afford one but what a great truck..
For that price they should at least put a dam ram box on that. Where am I gonna put my guns n beers?
in your Prius
quite a front heavy monster
MPG?
who cares
I agree. Who cares!!!?
That would be none. But what did you expect?
TRX is to 2021 as raptor was to 2010
Awesome truck! cool to see it be assembled
I would buy the truck for 100 grand if I could get the first one number one
Normally sold for charity fundraising via Mecum or other.
Amazing truck- great color !
Has the power, has the sound, but it also has to perform. I’m anxious to see if the TRX can hold its own to the Raptor in handling, performance and overall durability. As of right now, it’s got more power in a heavier truck and that doesn’t make it better. With more power comes more heat, more weight translates into decreased handling. Time will tell how this new truck compares.
300 lbs heavier isn't going to make much difference, when your talking 3 ton trucks. I'm sure Ram has the "heat" thing figured out.
300 pounds isn’t a lot of weight but it’s still more weight. The more weight might come from the motor and the body being made of steel versus aluminum on the Ford.
I’ve heard some say there’s a noticeable amount of understeer, I’m anxious to see how it handles in the real world.

Fender vent is missing
I wonder if the Sterling plant has “solved” the racism issue of nooses being tied and left in certain areas?
Big issues when “new” employees were brought in that had more seniority than others that already worked there before the upgrade.
When I hear this stuff - just makes me sad.
@@TruckKing
Unfortunately it was all over the media back in March. Even media outlets in Europe carried it despite most of the world going into lockdown at that time.
3:45 I would drive the one with the blue fender 🔷
$90k for the top build. That’s a $1 for every mile that POS will last until it dies. Disposable trucks.
Cool stuff.. I really want to see how this truck will hold up over time or whether they'll fall apart like other FDA products
Ram doesn’t fall apart like they used to. Not at all... very very reliable. But this new TRX is a brand new design. Time will tell of course. I’m anxious to see how it holds up myself. But I must say it is one hell of a truck. One expensive toy but aren’t they all?
I’ve had 2 FCA vehicles. Nothing has fallen apart. Though I did have re-gen problems with the 1st gen eco-diesel.
I've owned 4 Rams and 3 Tacomas and the Tacomas seriously had more issues. None of them ever left me stranded but I just chose a Ram again over anything else.
What I’m wondering too; really wish FCA products were built well cause that’s the only thing keeping me from getting a ram 1500 or a gladiator :/
@@macbookpro57 I used to think like you also. Just from all my co workers and friends. Had great success in the last 5 years. Older models probably yes were an issue. Last few years have improved. These guys I know drive there trucks like if it were the last day there gonna own it. I on the other hand take care of my vechiles. So far so good for me on my Ram
TRX is the greatest truck ever made. PERIOD!!!
How can you say that when they just started making them? How many have you driven?
you sir win the award for the most asinine statement. PERIOD!!!
@@tlr-nut7275 How can I NOT say that!? Guy, look at the thing. There isn’t a truck on the market that can even pretend to compete. Like I asked the last fool, prove me wrong.
@@moparproud3978 It would be like me saying the Cyber Truck is the greatest thing ever made! They have yet to make one. Only prototypes, like the TRX.
@@tlr-nut7275 Not even a viable argument. I’m not surprised. Next...
