    I’ve owned my Limited for 18 months. I’m impressed with it, the V8 has plenty of power and the best fuel economy I’ve gotten was 21 mpg during a cross state road trip. Not bad!

    I just purchased this same truck 2hrs ago. So far it's more than I expected. If I can only figure out how to have the interior lights turn on when the doors open and figure out how to get u connect to work I'll be alright 🤦‍♂️🤷😂😂.... Haven't had time to fully play with it, but I will tommorow... Great reviews bruh, keep it up🤙

      Unfortunately that has been a big issue with the newer ram as they changed the placement of the sensor. I believe it’s now under the driver’s mirror.

    @carlosmorris4510 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    A very nice truck! I would get this or the Rebel/Rebel Night Edition over the TRX, personally... Why? Well, because besides the much higher fuel economy, the TRX is far too...
    W I D E 🚘/↔... Staggeringly so; a full 88" - as wide as an H2 Hummer, I believe. That would be my sole reason for not getting the TRX - even if I could afford it! This is something that isn't taken into consideration. It's not called a T-Rex for nothing... I've heard that it's hard to stay in your own lane with it, and that parking it is extremely difficult; like you'd be better off parking it off to the side somewhere or being a butthole and hogging two parking spots. That wide. The dingability factor must be extremely high when parking it in a regular parking spot, I can imagine; god forbid two TRXs will ever be parked side-by-side.
    🚘🚘
    Imo the TRX is more than a beast - it's a MONSTER; and just like a T-Rex itself, it belongs out in the wild - as an off-road focused truck rather than an on-road one, with regular roads and parking spots just being brief transitory points before it gets to it's destination...
    For more of a comfortable on-road truck, this and the Rebel are much better options. It would be different if they made a standard width 'street racing TRX' - or something like that - in my view.
    I mean, couldn't they put the exact same TRX engine and transmission in a Limited or Rebel, with the same suspension (or similar) - and just lower it?... That would make a boss street racing truck! If Ford does something like this, I think that'll give them an edge over Ram... And whatever happened to the legendary V10 used in the Viper and Viper truck; I thought they would've put that in the TRX?
    ...Just some views and thoughts, lol. 😏 Great review.
