My dream truck. This will be my first choice when I win the lottery. No lambos, no ferraris, just a TRX. Until then, I’ll keep drooling over it on TH-cam.
@@hotrod7603 I drive a Ford now. I said if I win the lottery. You think I would care about something breaking if I won the lottery? I would buy a trx and do donuts around a raptor.
My dad and I road-tripped this truck from Atlanta to Palm Springs California. Was fantastic on the highway. It's been a blast in the Southern California desert.
Good to know that 6 months of ownership it has not had any issues. But then, one would expect 0 issues with a brand new vehicle for at least 3 years unless one is purposely abusing it past its design limits.
You mean the oil companies that keep the American economy moving with providing fuel for planes, transportation of goods and power for homes? Shouldn’t we thank the oil companies.
What a great video and unbiased review. Thank you! I’m so glad you’re keeping the Ram until you can get the new Raptor for comparison. You guys are awesome
Tommy is so hell bent on arguing with his dad that he was arguing exactly the same point lol. Gotta love working with family! In the end they both disagreed until they both used the same terms to describe it! I love you guys!
I love your quote at 15:07, "We've had zero issues..."! Really? Amazing! One would think for $80,000 you better have zero issues. 7000 miles? Shoo doggie! If I paid that much for a truck it better have ZERO ISSUES for a bit longer than 7000 miles.
11 mpg actually doesn't sound to bad. I had a 2wd Regular cab ram in college with 5.9 engine and it got 11 mpg. Granted that was 20 years ago, it was also a much lighter truck with smaller tires and 2wd.
I like this thing. What would be interesting for me though, I’d the same suspension and track but with a normal engine that doesn’t get 11mpg on high test. I don’t care about drag racing my trucks.
Have to agree. Would love an “appearance pack”. Dodge did it with the chargers and challengers. I’m pretty sure you can get a widebody V6 these days so it may trickle down the lineup.
This is more of an unboxing video than a performance video, I understand you don't want to rag out your own vehicle, but real trail conditions would fully change this test significantly.
This may sound crazy but I still think the Raptors is a better off-road truck for all around definitely for in town .but because of its weight and size I just believe it gets around better
Here in BC (Canada) premium gas is currently about $1.75/litre - which works out to $5.30 US/Gal after exchange. Far more expensive. I find it funny that they're complaining about premium being $4/gal lol - that's so cheap!
Loving mine! Coming from my C8 and Tesla P100D, this truck is good at everything! Hauls 5 people in comfort, can hang with a lot of fast cars or flat out beat them off the line, it can tow, it can haul stuff around. But the MPGs do suck. My C8 for example easily gets 30MPG cruising on the hwy, or 18MPG city.
As a truck it's fast for sure, and everyone can respect that, but personally what i don't respect is the title of Off-road King that was given to this truck simply because of that, nothing it has done has surpassed the Raptor in the context of the Off-road King title, let alone some even tend to say the title "Super Truck" doesn't exactly fit here either.
I use my TRX as a daily driver and absolutely love it! ...and no it didn't turn my garage from a 2 car to a 1 car garage....I have a standard 2 car garage for my area and we park the TRX and a Tahoe in it with no problem....On trails I use my surround camera and it works great...you can actually drag the surround camera icon down to the menu you bar and instantly pop it up when you need it....as a daily driver it puts a smile on my face everyday....even when I'm going the speed limit..:)....thanks for this video....great to see the TRX in that location.
Oof, I don't know if I could swallow that price. So basic at $77k! I have a Laramie and for ~$65k all-in I have a rear locking diff, 35" K02s, 6" lift, the 12" screen, blind-spot-monitoring, adaptive cruise control, 360/front camera, passive entry, remote start, 3.92 gears, and 60% of the TRX's insane power.
If It wasn't for fords fleet sales id say Ram is the leader in truck sales by far...switching from Ford too Ram a couple years ago ....Id say the Ram is a better Built more reliable comfortable truck ..
The TRX has become my dream vehicle! A note to a couple of your comments in the video I don't want those extra "safety" features that you talked about if someone wants them fine but they should be an option NOT standard.
I have a ram with a 5.9 magnum and it barely gets better fuel economy for 1/3 of the power of the TRX. I'd be happy with that fuel economy if I had that powertrain.
I’m surprised you get double digits on MPG with that engine. We had, until recently, a 2014 Grand Cherokee Overland 5.7L, and we were only getting 9-10 MPG in the city. It did a little better on the highway….17-18 MPG. But with an added Borla exhaust, I gotta tell ya, its hard to keep your foot off the pedal. They sound SO GOOD. Beautiful truck Roman. Looks and sounds great. Hahahaha yeah, its kinda funny…when you achieve the peak, not a lot to look at. Colorado is such a nice place. Your lucky guys to have that at your back door.
Been off line for quite a while this is the first full video I've watched great job like the honesty Tommy will be the number one reveiwer in vehicles soon thanks great work
If you correctly set up the side mirrors, no vehicles have blind spots..., the problem is most set them up to look down the side of the vehicle, which is always there! What appears in the right of the rear view mirror should appear in the left of the side mirror, then before that vehicle leaves the side mirror, it will appear beside you. It does take time to get used to but it does work.
It is not a $77K dollar truck. Its a $47k truck with $30k in engine and suspension upgrades. If they want more tech then buy the options. If the truck came standard with all the tech it would be 90k. and they would bitch it doesnt come with a cheaper base model.
It actually has a different frame if I remember correctly. Lets be real though the markup on the features and creature comforts are outrageous these days. Financing is too easy to get and people only look at that monthly payment if they can "afford" it.
@@nukewiller4083 Was saying that to show where the inflation of the price comes from. There's reasons why they dont build stripped down enthusiast trims. Everyones willing to buy the fluffed up versions.
Wish you guys could still do the old truth or dare trail. Get a true comparison to what the other off-road pickups were capable of. Most CUVs could go up the trail in this video. When you did the Raptor and TRX side by side desert it was pretty much a tie suspension wise. Of course the TRX was the better powered vehicle.
Just in case its not clear, the RAM TRX is a play vehicle. Its not meant to be practical or fuel efficient, its mean to have fun in, but still more practical than a pure sports car. After all, when you go out to dinner you don't consider that you can eat at home for 1/3 as much. Going out is a about the enjoyment, irrespective of cost. In any event, when it comes to rock climbing, it really could use that forward facing camera.
I like what RAM is doing. I am not brand loyal. Ford lovers will pick a Ford no matter what, same for Toyota followers. The TRX is the 'super truck' for enjoyment and fun. The Gladiator is the truck for off-road fun.
I love this truck. Tommy is spot on. With the TRX it is amazing off-road, but its width, weight, and length limit you to certain lines. As far as towing/hauling...this truck isn't built for towing/hauling. Lol. It isn't a regular 1/2 ton.
You guy's have provided RAM a great service for the TRX. I hope RAM has shown their appreciation to you guy's in some. I'm not a fan of Chrysler products because of their poor quality control but RAM definitely hit a homerun with the TRX.
Stop reading magazines and garbage outlets online. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with Chrysler and it’s quality control. Your ignorance is overwhelming and frankly tiring.
@@krane15 not me. I think Ram has really stepped their game up over that last several years. I have a 2016 ram. I never thought I would be in one. Of course it has its flaws but what truck doesn't?
I know this thing got well over 700hp but do you really need that much? I am mean going offroad is just about taking your time enjoying nature and going wherever the trail goes
My neighbor bought one just because he’s a Mopar guy and the TRX came with a gear shift lever, he loves everything except for the engine, he says it’s too powerful 😂😂😭
Had mine since April. I disagree with Tommy’s opening statements on power and perception. More isolated than a Challenger or GC Trackhawk, more refined, which could have some impact on viciousness quotient. However, from stoplight to stoplight, compared to Challenger and Charger Hellcats, TRX is faster. Tommy knows this, so be sure to dissect his comments. Hennessy also did baseline testing against C8 at Texas elevation, and TRX logged consistently faster times in stoplight-to-stoplight framework. Thanks for the video guys 🤝!
It's great seeing you happy Roman😂! As far as all the "faults" with the TRX, I am 100% Ok with them all. It's simply what happens when you get everything you could want in a factory production pickup especially staying under the 100K price point. TY RAM AND TFL! ♥️🤍💙🇺🇲🦅
I gotta say, as much as I love the TRX, I absolutely DESPISE the 1980s gear shifter. It's not actually attached to the transmission. It's essentially an 8-inch electronic button...which is ridiculous. Either put a manual transmission in it (which is what they should've done with a performance truck like this to begin with), or put the dial knob or column shifter back on there for the auto. Almost $100K!!! And they stick a cheap plastic shifter from their reject parts department right in the middle of the center console? Seriously?! The people at Ram really have lost it. Smh.
Very good review. The TRX looked like it did very well during the climb, as well as the 7,000 miles you put on it! It's a bit over my level in terms of pricing, but I would LOVE to own one! Thanks for the review.
I guess I am not too impressed. Webster is rated only moderate. We took my 19’ Raptor through Red cone (rated difficult to serve) both last year and this year. If the TRX can make it through there, then that would mean a lot! My girlfriend’s Santa Fe made it up Webster.
"there's no adaptive cruise or proximity sensors at 77k" Yeah but you're also getting the (currently) most powerful production truck made today, with a stronger frame, and advanced suspension technologies. If those were cheap, those tundras you brought up would already have 700+ horsepower. I'm all for FCA being quality nightmares, but it makes sense why you're getting what you get at $77k
Totally right on the features trucks should have. Make it standard and your economies of scale have an impact. Should have Auto Unlock with the key, adaptive cruise, lane keep and blind spot monitoring standard. Unless you’re buying a work truck then it’s your call.
When comparing tow capacity you can't compare it to a standard 1/2 ton you need to look at the Raptor, and the TRD pro both trucks with more of an offroad suspension.
My only complaint with these new offroad rigs is trying to figure out all the different gearings, what stiffness and softness is. It is a real headache trying to understand all this
From my experience, having owned quite a few new vehicles, problems in the first few thousands miles tell you a lot about quality control and craftsmanship. If you have no initial quality issues, then the thing was screwed together correctly. Long-term is something else, going to design and testing of the product, but that's not going to be known for a while.
@@Drrrre It's very impressive for a brand new segment of vehicle. The TRX is new from the ground up made to compete with the Raptor. These guys have beat on this thing without so much as a hiccup, I'd call that impressive
Admittedly, it is a hell of a truck from a design achievement perspective. However, realistically, I doubt you'll very many folks using it on the trail with you; just like a new Land Cruiser. By the time you pay for the truck, the insurance, registration...well, let's just say I've seen nary a single muddy, dinged up Raptor unless its been wrapped around a tree and on a flatbed. We've all had the under our breath conversation; "Who the hell is buying these things?", even though we quietly know the answer. It isn't for me, but this is 'Merica; to each his own.
I'm not comfortable with crowning this the king of the beasts until I see some sort of quantifiable test versus the raptor, ie.a off-road slalom course with different kind of obstacles. A Baja 1000 entry would also help this be more than just a 0 to 60 stop like the stoplight truck, because right now this is all I see this as, it's too big and too heavy and it's reliability is still questionable especially when hitting it hard or several hundreds of miles or even a thousand miles like the Baja 1000. I think there's a pretty clear reason they haven't entered it into the Baja 1000 because I don't think it's going to make it, it's too heavy.
Nice, now we'll have every full sized truck in Colorado doing narrow single track passes, thanks. You know a full sized ram just rolled on black bear today right?

Maybe just a normal 392
It only matches raptor with the hellcat. It would suck with only 450 gp

Awesome video, love the TRX. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

Yeah but you're also getting the (currently) most powerful production truck made today, with a stronger frame, and advanced suspension technologies. If those were cheap, those tundras you brought up would already have 700+ horsepower.
I'm all for FCA being quality nightmares, but it makes sense why you're getting what you get at $77k
I'm not going to lie, that TRX us awesome looking!
Totally right on the features trucks should have. Make it standard and your economies of scale have an impact. Should have Auto Unlock with the key, adaptive cruise, lane keep and blind spot monitoring standard. Unless you’re buying a work truck then it’s your call.
When comparing tow capacity you can't compare it to a standard 1/2 ton you need to look at the Raptor, and the TRD pro both trucks with more of an offroad suspension.
Who actually tows with these rigs?
My 4 years Old Ford Everest 3.2 Can do this Too ❤️
Love the rotary shifter on my Ram, doesn’t take up space in center console like the one on the TRX.
My only complaint with these new offroad rigs is trying to figure out all the different gearings, what stiffness and softness is. It is a real headache trying to understand all this
Is it supposed to be impressive that a vehicle has “zero issues” at 7k miles?
For new development cars... it kinda is
The Defender needed a complete engine replacement after a couple hundred miles...................so yes
@@stevenrogers2457 that should be an extreme disappointment, not a standard which makes 7k impressive.
From my experience, having owned quite a few new vehicles, problems in the first few thousands miles tell you a lot about quality control and craftsmanship. If you have no initial quality issues, then the thing was screwed together correctly. Long-term is something else, going to design and testing of the product, but that's not going to be known for a while.
@@Drrrre It's very impressive for a brand new segment of vehicle. The TRX is new from the ground up made to compete with the Raptor. These guys have beat on this thing without so much as a hiccup, I'd call that impressive
Admittedly, it is a hell of a truck from a design achievement perspective. However, realistically, I doubt you'll very many folks using it on the trail with you; just like a new Land Cruiser. By the time you pay for the truck, the insurance, registration...well, let's just say I've seen nary a single muddy, dinged up Raptor unless its been wrapped around a tree and on a flatbed. We've all had the under our breath conversation; "Who the hell is buying these things?", even though we quietly know the answer. It isn't for me, but this is 'Merica; to each his own.
Definitely seems like a farm/ranch/oilfield/construction truck, rather than your kind of off road. Fun video.
Hats off to the drone operator.
Simple rule: If you don’t want to scratch your truck, don’t go off road.
The drone shots reminds me of Top Gear ⚙, great job!!
If you guys kept any vehicle this would be it 👌
I'm not comfortable with crowning this the king of the beasts until I see some sort of quantifiable test versus the raptor, ie.a off-road slalom course with different kind of obstacles. A Baja 1000 entry would also help this be more than just a 0 to 60 stop like the stoplight truck, because right now this is all I see this as, it's too big and too heavy and it's reliability is still questionable especially when hitting it hard or several hundreds of miles or even a thousand miles like the Baja 1000. I think there's a pretty clear reason they haven't entered it into the Baja 1000 because I don't think it's going to make it, it's too heavy.
Hey roman, you can write a book about your vehicle buying experience... especially the defender.
11.2 mpg is still better than my 2017 RAM 2500 6.4, and 5500
It’s painful to watch it go so slow… 😂
Nice, now we'll have every full sized truck in Colorado doing narrow single track passes, thanks. You know a full sized ram just rolled on black bear today right?
Cool truck for sure. Some of it is about what it can do, some is about where it can take you. Nice video.
