Most memorable trucks on tfl was the 2014 6.2 Raptor, Mopar modified Gladiator, and the TRX. Honorable mention to the Red Silverado Trail Boss
For me, TRX was the toughest one to see leave the channel, so it has to be king of the hill out of this group of vehicles
If the TFL TRX was the first one available to the public, it's destined to be a high-value collectible. 50 years from now, that truck will be very popular.
Just a gas hog with a lot of shine! JUNK!!!
❤
I was happy to see it go. As much grief as people gave them for having the first raptor in too many videos, I was starting to feel the same way about the TRX
Loved your Pre-Tremor Super Duty.
After listening to the conversation about the hemi options I wanted to add my experience. 2012 ram crew purchased new all oil changes performed at the dealer and 134k lift froze then flattened out my cam. Asked ram dealer for a quote to repair and they said 11k. I laughed at them and sold it on Facebook. I now own a f150. Maintained per the manufacturer.
Also run full synthetic oil always and change it every 5K religiously and you shouldn’t ever have internal engine problems! Only have 62K on my Rebel so I can’t speak to experience there, but I’ve dealt with a lot of Mopar engines over the years and one of my good friends used to be a Chrysler Technician at a Dodge dealer. So I’ve received good sound Mopar advice for years now as well. 😊
I think it’s important to note you all were ahead of the time on the 7.3 Godzilla. Now all the rage is heavy duty overlanders even if they don’t always perform well on the trails. If you look at truck trends today you all either sparked or were on the front edge of many.
I love my Maverick XL Hybrid and XLT Tremor Maverick.
Great team discussion about trucks.
My favorite is the TrailHound so far.
I saw junior doing a car review yesterday, and he kept sharing his screen, showing photos of what you were talking about. Watching on youtube, that is much more enjoyable. We had a TRX, ok, show me stuff you were doing while talking!! He would pull up an old video, share his screen and then your conversation turns into a voice-over, even though the topic might not change to suite the background video, didn't matter. It turns "2 guys talking" (a podcast) into a video for those watching, while still providing a podcast. 2 birds kinda thing. Keep it up!!
Thank you guys! Again you demonstrate why your my go to informative site for truck / jeep sub info
Thank you guys for the video
Good show. I truly enjoy the basic trucks such as the Ram Classic which is affordable for a great deal of folks.
Most of what they buy, actual working people only dream of!
Should include the 2019 ram rebel, I don’t feel like it got the credit it should for fitting 35s with just a leveling kit and the fantastic exhaust
I didn’t care for the Rebel that I had. Rode like a milk wagon with the 10 ply tires.. I should have known better, but test drove it on the smoothest road in Illinois.
92k views and 78 comments. That ain’t right! You guys rock. Thanks for all the great content. Big cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪
Thanks for the thorough breakdown guys. One of the many things that makes TFL great is your willingness to bring us the latest and relevant vehicles. I know you guys put a ton of effort into it, and that is appreciated.
Of course the favorites are the Raptor R and TRX, just from the sheer "smile factor" (as in you cannot stop smiling while driving these trucks lol). I know the RAM with the Cummins has long been a powerhouse when it comes to utility and towing, but I was a bit surprised by just how much you guys love this truck (Trail Hound), so that was a cool takeaway. You guys have mentioned your affinity for this pickup in other videos as well.
Also Nathan, I can understand where you're coming from when you say that the Raptor R doesn't do enough to distinguish itself from a standard Raptor. I thought the same at first too, however, I have a different thought on that now. I actually like the way it's understated. I think in the future that may actually add to the mystique of this truck as well. Imagine in 20 years walking through a parking lot and seeing one. You'd have to get a little closer to it to see that it is in fact a Raptor R. I think that is actually kind of cool. Also, I'm not a huge fan of gawdy and excessive trim panels and such.
For me, it’s the Ridgeline all day long. For someone who occasionally tows and doesn’t need a “get deep in the woods” truck the Ridgeline has room, ride quality and gas mileage. Most people don’t use trucks for what they were originally made for. But they are still ugly! But I love mine.
Love all your great information 👍🏼. Please add timestamps so we can go back and refer to it more conveniently.
That 2014 Raptor was amazing!
You guys do a great job with these podcasts. The two of you work well together as a podcast duo. Keep up the great work. Always informative and easy to listen to!
Awesome content!
I have 2. My favorites were the 2022 ram 2500 Cummins and also the TRX.
Raptor R! Please do more off road and races with ti
At 38:42 instead of two trucks, I think they might do better sales if the same truck can do both modes.
Im a Ford fanboy so of course Raptor R is my fav my second is the TRX, Probably the only Stellantis product I would ever actually consider buying.
Im in Michigan, I could swear ive seen the new rangers on a lot
Silverado ZR2 IS MY FAV....WHY ....cause I bought one 2 weeks ago 😊
I miss the ElCamino SS
Well I guess my favorite truck is the 2022 ZR2 since I bought a 2022 exactly like it! Great truck so far and I don't need it to be the fastest either. I have a Mustang Mach 1 for that purpose.
I agree the trail hound has been the best build so far. I think your favorite truck the legendary power wagon next. Before jeep Before WW2 Dodge 4x4 since 1934.
Hey guy, love the channel!
What trim level did Trail Hound start? Rebel?
Bighorn
TRX is still so awesome.
Miss the Gladiator
Ford helped finance Rivian FYI. They have a substantial stake in the company.
My favorite truck on your list was the RAM TRX.
Trx my favorite by far
Sucks y’all scrapped the trans American trail with the super duty… should give another shot and do some cool content on the TAT!
I got a TRX this year after having a Sierra AT4, F150, Frontier, Jeep, and Defender in the last 5yr. It’s by far the best daily driver. …except for the gas mileage. ;)
What’s the mpg ? Lol
Not sure why but I really enjoyed this episode and I'm an SUV driver
@38:15 to 38:24 was that a starbucks paid for commercial?
Ram 2500 Cummins by a long shot. It does everything well
My favorite, by far, is Stubby. Sorry, just really can't care about the Raptor R.
Have you had any issues with your diesels? I shyed away because of all the complaints on-line
That hummer is definitely a lease not a buy with all of those problems especially after 5-10 years of ownership!!!!
Nathan… driving a Santa Fe and drinking from an insulated Starbucks cup? One more strike and you’ll have to shave off your beard 🤣😂✌️☮️
Cliff notes?
I don’t think the information you for mpg and towing is relevant to those who want or does modify trucks. It gives us an idea what to expect. Keep on doing it!
Did they let you sell the Hyundai that you bought for $1 on for a profit?
Where does the money come from to buy those 13 trucks?
It’s pretty much the same money. They just roll it over from one vehicle to the next. That’s why they have most of these trucks only for a few months. This is also a business. They make money from TH-cam and ads and product reviews and some infomercials. They budget some of the revenue for new vehicles.
you tube duh
I love how you guys acknowledge and admit that you cant stand the stupid faces youtubers make in thumbnails 😂
Why don’t TFP mention about the ego boost engines come from? Eco Boost engines are Mazda engines. Mazda built Ford Probes back in the 80s. Also, Mazda builds Fiat 124. Germans built Catallac Cateria in the 80s. All the problems associated with poor quality imports. Early 2000 Mazda made three valves heads for Ford.
None of these trucks are perfect I bought a brand 🆕 Tacoma TRD 4X4 off-road 6-speed manual I live in Phoenix went to turn on the AC when it's 115° outside & it didn't even work it was a bad hoes all the freon had leaked out... The truck would never go into 4-wheel drive but I've never owned a truck before so u didn't know how long it should take & it just seemed to take forever n forever to get out of 4-wheel drive come to find out the front diff actuator was bad (truck has never even been off road) because it got stuck in 4x4 mode & had to be towed to the dealer! Make in Guanajuato Mexico quality 😢 everything else seems to look really good tho, body panels lineup & paint looks good well see. I refinanced it thru my credit union & got a 120,000 mi warranty for like 6 or 7 years. So at least the time I'm financing it will be covered under warranty. Mind you I had all these problems under 6,000 miles 😡
I don't believe those Chinese electric cars are doing well. There's plenty of reports of them catching on fire in a variety of locations causing much more harm than good. This has also become a subject on some other youtube channels showing such vehicles in China causing harm to people, homes, businesses and the environment.
Booyah 👊🏽 😁 👍🏽 🇺🇸 👊🏽
What I want is a plug in hybrid truck so it can be efficient for daily driving but can still do truck things. That would turn me into a first time truck buyer.
I know it's me, but I'm not readily clear on what their best and worst trucks were.
I’m guessing you don’t mean any harm, however let me give you a heads up Nathan. It’s 2023 “unmodified” would be a more appropriate term than: “unmolested”. 👍😉
Trucks need to be slowed back down. These fast trucks are turning everyone into assholes on the road. You can't make a safe, legal pass anymore without some over-compensator in an F150 a half mile back standing on it and running up and tailgating.
It's sacrilegious I tell sir!!! Wtf has happened to dodge?? Please stellantis sell them to someone else. 😢😢😢
The batteries are not powerful enough yet. Just don't go all in on EV's but obviously keep them in your stuff but please don't think these are the future because these are destroying the environment almost as much as or worse than internal combustion engines!!!
Finally..someone who understands that cobalt mining, lithium mining, and the recycling nightmare created by electric vehicles is worse than combustion power - and all you're doing is shifting the location of the pollution, not eliminating it.
Several manufacturers of EV cars and trucks make claims that their vehicles can not meet. Whether Range, price, or actual dates of production and sale. Sometimes things fall outside of their parvue, sometimes a little puffery but in most cases it is outright lieing.
I was surprised to notice that there may be a little bit of that with TFL! I hope that I am wrong, but I did remember Andre and Mr. Truck claiming that they were going to do an Ike Gauntlet test every week for the next year. I was very excited about this as the Ike is what first brought me to TFL 5 years ago. Instead, we get the Denver 100 or some other poor substitute. I find myself asking what have they done with Andre and why replace him with The Dark Lord Elon? Enquiring minds want to know.
Promises, promises, promises.
Two thoughts that are related but not really.
1: Jeep Gladiator, pretty sure it’s discontinued. It makes me wonder if Jeep would ever make a Ram 1500 but Jeep version. The problem is that it’s based off the Wrangler, and it’s a fun truck. However if they built a more regular truck with off road goodies and the Jeep branding, that’d be pretty cool. Similar to how the Comanche was a Cherokee with a bed.
2: Ridgeline is due for a redesign. I’m really wondering how Honda is going make something that stands out. The current generation has a V6 which is great, but there’s nothing about it that really makes it stand out. I’m assuming Honda will do the Passport since they just did the Pilot but excited to see what they come up with.
The gladator shares like 60 percent of it's parts with the dt ram 1500
So you guys are partially responsible for MSRP's increasing to average people not affording them, since you are actually paying mfg' prices.
I want to see an electric blender of a vehicle. One that goes forward, reverse, steers and stops. Only enough tech for it to safely move. Do away with the needless tech.
So then you don't want power steering, power brakes, ABS, airbags, backup camera, power windows, power-adjustable seats, power mirrors, air conditioning, sound deadening...you want an electric truck with the features of the 1970s...
Least successful build, Baja Bob.
My gosh how can you critique the best trucks if you only had them for a few years 😂 what a joke. they're not even broke in yet nor does it tell you anything about their dependability and longevity or reliability or average cost of repair differences between them. So I'll listen to people that has them experiences and years and good high mileage experience on them and take their options and their critique.
Hey guys. Add splits to the video. Hard to navigate
