Every once and a while I come back to see if we got another vid :( this could have easily been one of the biggest car channels on TH-cam. Mad skills on the production
I as well owned Raptors ( 2023 R 2022 37 Package) as well as a 2021 TRX and 2023 TRX...I was a Ford Guy as well and loved the Raptor until I got a TRX and you hit the nail on the head with your reasons a TRX edges out the Raptor.. I have to LOL when you get the haters out there that are such Ford Guys that they think the TRX is junk, Interior is crap quality blh blah blah cause that all right there shows the knowledge and I lol and go past....The Raptor is a magnificent truck but owning both the TRX is a all around dynamic awesome beast...I like most owners keep mine 80% of the time on pavement and the ride quality is better imo, the whine from the Supercharger is superb and the sound with the MBRP or Corsa is amazing!! I don't understand the poor MPG so many get! I live on the road with my 2021 seeing 73k miles now and 0 issues. I get on the Hwy doing avg 65 to 70 around 14.5 MPG and in the city around home (I'm in the Mtns of NC) I avg 11 to 12 MPG....I do pull trailers and with my open 6 X 8 loaded (5000 lbs) get a steady 10.5 to 11 MPG....I've check many many times on paper and dash so these numbers on my truck is very accurate...Congrats on the Havoc! I got a Lunar on the way making TRX #3...😅 Now I do like Uconnect personally over my Raptors including the R....Maybe mine is the Android cause if it was Apple I would of kicked a hole in the radio by now....lmao...
the most honest guy on youtube he did it when he compared apple and samsung ecosystems and now the trx and the raptor! even if he is a fan of one he is not afraid to addmit when something is better the he thought
The TRX is better looking than the Raptor by a long shot...better exterior and better interior ...as far as looks go I'd say the TRX is the best looking truck ever made bar none.
I am also a former Raptor owner and I really really loved it but in the year and a half of ownership and 15k miles, it was in the shop seven times!! I had bad valve covers which caused the oil consumption problem, a warped dashboard that had to be replaced, the leather came completely undone on the drivers seat and had to be replaced, it got stuck in 4wd and the vacuum manifold on the firewall had to be replaced, the fox live valve module had an issue and had to be replaced, the moon roof leaked and had to be serviced, and finally the straw that broke the camels back - lovely rod knock issues. My Raptor was my second EcoBoost and I was a fan of the motor until then. I finally traded it in on a HD2500 diesel truck and really hated that from a daily driver standpoint because I live quite a ways off pavement with lots of snow and the HD truck was worthless in the snow and rode like a hay wagon. I ordered my TRX in September of 2021 and took delivery in May of 2022. I got the level 2 fully loaded TRX minus a moon roof, spare tire carrier, and ram bar. I absolutely love everything about it with some small gripes. I too experience lag in the infotainment upon first start up but other than that, no issues. I am not a fan of the gas mileage but I'll take it over my Raptor any day. I do like the Gen3 Raptor's but I think my TRX is still a better all around truck. I've put almost 25k miles on it so far with absolutely zero issues whatsoever. PRO TIP: you can get into any mode you want with the arrow buttons under the TRX button - you don't have to use the big screen at all.
I really enjoy when Ford guys realize Dodge Rams are actually excellent. In my opinion, Ram has had a nicer truck since 2012. They updated the truck in 2018 and the interior is still class leading today. The TRX itself is a tank. I've seen Streetspeed717 do insane things with his TRX trucks and they never quit. Too bad they're going to the Hurricane inline 6 turbo due to these Democrat nazis.
I have a Raptor 22, my infotainment system sucks. It goes black and my phone drops. The call stops, but if I switch to the phone and turn off Bluetooth it works. When I reverse it makes a loud screeching sound if I’m on a call. It’s like a is signal is mixing. The B&O system sucks major ass too.
From the sound of it, you didn't know about the "Snow Mode Fix" for the mileage issue; mileage will "jump" from single figures to around 15 around town. Still nothing to write home about, but a lot better than you were getting !
I never gave RAM a look until my brother got his TRX. That thing is so much fun to drive. I wish I had one lol. Id rather get 7-9MPG having a blast with this beast than with any other bag MPG car/Truck. Also +1 on the infotainment being so bad. but its nice when it works lol
Not in a million years would I have expected him to say that. I totally thought I was going to listen to him shit on it for 14 minutes. But at the end of the day, a gear head is a gear head, and you can't not love this thing if you love powerful badass vehicles.
Ram had an offroad course set up for a TRX ride-along at the Dodge Roadkill Nights/Speed Week event last year and the drivers would send the truck off of a tabletop-style jump and it seemed to jump just fine to me... and they did this all day long with the 4 or 5 TRX's they had out there with no breakdowns that I was aware of... and they romped on these things just flying through the whoop section and hitting the tabletop jump at like 50mph as well as using launch control on every launch...
Coming from a Gen 2 Raptor, the TRX blows it out of the water. However, you forgot about “Launch Mode”. Literally, the most fun I’ve ever had in a vehicle.
Double tap the TRX button and it takes you to your Custom settings, without having to go into Sport mode via the screen. Not the greatest, but it's something haha
Widebody TRX vs new narrower body Raptor, Hellcat vs Predator, luxurious Ram vs cheap Ford interior, amazing 8 speed vs clunky 10 speed…what’s not to love? Plus the price point is better!
Of course I haven't. There are maybe 150 on the road, tops. I think it is common consensus that the 10 speed is clunky, gear hunts, and the Ford interior is cheap as crap. Only fanboys will buy because clout and bling brand loyalty. I have owned all of the raptors and now own a TRX. It's better in every possible way. And it is affordable, considering the alternative huge piece of plastic being the Gen 3 Aluminum tin can Ford Raptor.@@gs300rich4
Honestly I don’t care for vehicles that much.. but I watch, I like, and view the videos for Joe! We need more like you, that speak the truth. And I’m not talking about cars… The edits are legit too by the way.
Oh, has it been three months already? Good to see you again Joe... I didn't think you would like the truck that much.. Would you choose this as a daily over the Gen3?
100% - I had a 2019 Raptor ( Jumped it, drove it offroad like crazy, then the 2023 37 Performance- it was better than the 2019 but I just got the 23 Lunar Edition ( like yesterday ) - Let's not even talk about this is a Fing RaceTruck - let's talk about the interior - Raptor lacks in so many ways compared to the TRX. Hands Down...
Owned a Gen 2 raptor. Lots of other fords. Now have a TRX. Love it. Except for the camera system that only uses half the screen. And thieves love it way too much.
Dude, I have NEVER had an issue with my 5th gen ram Laramie Uconnect system. It has easily been the best system I've ever had in a car or truck. You need to get it fixed. That's all.
One of the goods, now a bad with 2024, you could have gotten a brand new TRX 10-12k off MSRP with certain dealerships. I paid 87k for a 99k truck. That same exact build (other than the new digital dash) in 2024 is going to be 116k. No special orders. And I'm sure ADMs will be stupid
250-300k Australian dollars (once converted to RHD) inclusive of Covid tax still. And there is a wait list for these over here. Ps great video again bud 👍
When you look at TRX from out side you will be amazed how mean looking and when you try to look inside if the 100k price is justified you will see luxury looking quality.
Can't wait to wait another 8 months to find out why you sold the TRX for the Raptor R
🤣
Meh, that Raptor R will break in half the first year of ownership.
Except he already has a Raptor R in video
Comment aged well 😂
Still waiting 9 months later lol
The most consistent channel on TH-cam 😤💪🏾

Haha

This man’s daily vlogs get me through life
Man I’ll wait 2 months for a joe video its a movie every time😂
Every once and a while I come back to see if we got another vid
:( this could have easily been one of the biggest car channels on TH-cam. Mad skills on the production
Canceled my raptor order and bought a loaded 2023 TRX under MSRP. Best decision I’ve ever made. Don’t see myself in a raptor unless I sell my TRX
Gen 2 raptor owner here. I used to hate on the TRX until I drove one….now I want one lol

Great comment, I like both trucks. It’s seem like Ford guys like the TRX more.

Must not have that many good days 😂😂
There's only 12-15 good days a year, LOL
Lot of bad days around here I guess. Lol😂

cant wait for the next video in 2024🔥
This is one badass truck! Can't wait to see what the replacement is in the next video 4 months from now
Had a TRX and liked it but much prefer the light/nimble feel of the Raptors.
true, it felt a lot lighter

Sorry. I forgot; you have to put it in "Snow Mode" to get the jump.
In Australia the TRX after import and right hand drive conversion their $250,000 plus
FINALLY A POST, I’ve been waiting for a post notification from Joe lol!!!
The uconnect on the TRX must be different because the Uconnect on my hellcat is fantastic and very responsive
I have the 2023 for 4 months and the U connect haven’t give me any issues yet.

Man changes cars more often than I change shoes
I don't know why, but these videos are just really good. Wish we could get more.
Thanks for posting Joe good to have you back!
Don’t quit you the goat even if you only post every 3 months
Back with a bang 🧨
Subscribed for the cursing and honesty from a trx owner
Props to RAM for knocking it out of the park with the TRX , I’ll still take my Raptor though 😁
my day just got 10x better.... Anyday that Joe posts is a good day
I like the videos before even watching it lol. … where the 🤬 you been joe !!! Glad your back LETS GO!

I think you’re spot on. I have both trucks and grab the TRX keys more often the the R keys. Your points are exactly how I feel!
As a technician at dodge the u connect is pretty bad we are always either doing updates on them or replacing the radios cuz they always have issues
Right on queue. Just said this morning Joe has been ghost for a while, it's about time for his semi annual pop up
His back!! Good video Joe, looking forward to the next one! I started running out of watching the older ones😴😂
I don't even care about trucks/cars, but I feel as though it is necessary to watch just to support the fact that Joe is posting!!!
I'm getting around 15 mpg in my raptor around town. I've had it at 22 highway
Coming from a Gen 2 Raptor, the TRX blows it out of the water. However, you forgot about “Launch Mode”. Literally, the most fun I’ve ever had in a vehicle.
Such an Awesome Truck!
I hope your youtube blows up, great production, well deserved 👏

Bruh! Its been 7mo c’mon bro drop a vid!!! TH-cam car community needs you 😢😂
I love my TRX, being able to effortlessly make a pass in traffic is gold. I will say, my infotainment system in my 2021 has been flawless.
Mine as well on my 23.
HES BACK
I like a Honest person and that is you.
Drove both, own TRX. Good video. Tap TRX button 3 times to the left for sport mode. No Infotainment needed.
Christmas came early with a joe video
Widebody TRX vs new narrower body Raptor, Hellcat vs Predator, luxurious Ram vs cheap Ford interior, amazing 8 speed vs clunky 10 speed…what’s not to love? Plus the price point is better!
Clunky 10 speed? Lol you’ve never been in a raptor r then. I have. The raptor r is light years ahead of the trx
Of course I haven't. There are maybe 150 on the road, tops. I think it is common consensus that the 10 speed is clunky, gear hunts, and the Ford interior is cheap as crap. Only fanboys will buy because clout and bling brand loyalty. I have owned all of the raptors and now own a TRX. It's better in every possible way. And it is affordable, considering the alternative huge piece of plastic being the Gen 3 Aluminum tin can Ford Raptor.@@gs300rich4
@@gs300rich4 No it isn't. If it didn't have shorter gearing it would get obliterated by the TRX. Ford fanboy lol
Is joe back! Love the edits bro.
Joe, do you still have your X5M? Update video?
I Love trx very good truck
Nothing beats that supercharger sound on the trx
Finally! Idgaf if this is a car channel just make videos G
Thanks for the honest review...
It's a nice truck! Pumped for the Raptor video!
It's a high price to pay but I don't think it'll last long ram RHO will be better for it a all new truck
It's been 11 months, that's what, six vehicles behind now?
Have a TRX and an R. Sold the R. TRX is a nicer and better truck hands down. If I was doing the Baja 1000 I would modify the the suspension on either.
Still waiting to see the new Raptor R… C’mon Joe
Subscribed just because of the editing, content is a bonus. :)
I miss and came across this channel I got a very good laugh 😂
Hey joe, where do you sell your APIs do you use RapidAPI or by value
OMG He Actually Posted!!! 😮😱😱😱
What about compared to the f150 Shelby Offroad?
Honestly I don’t care for vehicles that much.. but I watch, I like, and view the videos for Joe! We need more like you, that speak the truth. And I’m not talking about cars…

Stoked to see the upload, man. Thanks
Great video Joe, hope you have a good Thanksgiving, christmas and a happy new year. See you in 2024! 🎉
see you guys in the next 8 months ............ Great video ! TRX sucks to mush gas

Joe, did you get your Raptor R? I have one available!!
I took an 800 mile road trip, averaged 15.8 feathering the throttle... Sweet spot is 68-72 mph for best MPG
Could you imagine if trx went with king suspension at that point I may turn from liking them to living them
Man I wish, I don’t think King is a big enough company to swing something like that with how many trucks rams pulling off the line.
Did you like the TRX or X5M better
You are my brother right the interior super nice
I drove 2022 Ram TRX ignition edition last year ignition orange
So when is the come back?
Much respect! You got me to subscribe based off the honesty, shows you have a real love for good vehicles and not just a brand!
It’s a good day when Joe uploads !!!
106k is insane . Honestly 80k is a good price unfortunately we live in a messed up situation 😂
They are going for 50k over sticker. At least where I live. Same with the Raptor R
@@littlepeepy3456 damn 😭😭
the best thing is Joe saying in the next video, then the next video is in 3 months. in the meantime he changes like 10 new cars....great video tho
I have a fully loaded 2023 Ram TRX that's not a Havoc its just white and my MSRP was $105k
My 23 non special edition msrp was 104. A true fully loaded non special edition is 113,250. Either way he’s pretty far off with what he stated.
250-300k Australian dollars (once converted to RHD) inclusive of Covid tax still. And there is a wait list for these over here.
Ps great video again bud 👍
Not worth it amigo stick to your ranger or Toyota in ANZ unless your very wealthy
When you look at TRX from out side you will be amazed how mean looking and when you try to look inside if the 100k price is justified you will see luxury looking quality.
