I hate to see it go. It has been my favorite vehicle to watch. So many cool things you've done with it. Off road, towing, time trials, but my favorites were the drag races at the short track. Something about how quick that thing got up to speed and how you'd have to shut it down quick to keep from running off the track. So much fun to watch. As far as views, has this been one of your biggest hits? Did it exceed your expectations as far as views? Just curious. Thanks for getting it and doing so much with it.
Good thing you can write off the gas as a business expense
12.2 mpg in a shot they had. Man. And that's on premium, too. I guess if you can pay $80k for a truck you won't care but still.
Not the gas but the miles
While I generally agree with that sentiment I traded mine in because it was just getting ridiculous. The last couple months I was at over $1000/m just in fuel. I've had other gas guzzlers before, but the TRX is on another level. Plus side I sold it for more than I paid.
It gets the same mileage as the previous generation Tundra and tons of other trucks. I am getting 11.3 and I only drive around town.
Sounds like y’all need a Tesla or Prius.
Sad to see you guys selling this. I watched all your TRX content before I purchased my own and it greatly helped me make my decision. Cheers to the TRX that inspired mine! Hope it goes to a good home.
Ha ha ha 9mpg that's costs probably $12/gal for premium fuel that's gotta be rough 😁
@@johnsnow1355 it's okay if you can't afford it man. 😉 Some people can and enjoy every minute of it. 😎🤙🦖
@@johnsnow1355 : $12/gal for premium? Exaggerate much? SMH
No, can't sell the TRX, no it is a future classic......... well thanks for covering it and giving us excellent test videos. I will miss it. Great job guys, but there will never be another TRX.
1000 hp hellaphent trx ?
A real shame that TFL is getting rid of the TRX. How about one last blast? The TRX needs to tackle Tumbleweed! Let see how it eats up that crazy course you guys made.
the TRX kicked ass on every level at the gas pump and the TFL Wallet, gonna miss this bad boy 👍
U guys Rock- so happy with my TRX as it's by far my favorite Pick-ups of all time
This truck rocks..
Great videos showcasing it's amazing performance.
May the next owner enjoy it to the fullest
It is a SAD day! That thing is a BEAST!!!
Watching the TRX video at work!! Good morning Andrey n All TFL Staff!! Thank you TRX!!
As a die hard GM guy I must say the trx was my absolute favorite truck on this channel. Wish I had the money to buy her.
Sad day, this could have been the best truck for you guys, however I think the best, or most iconic to me was your 1st gen Raptor. You put a winch on it, you featured it as the camera vehicle in almost every video, certainly Ike's and compared everything off road to it. It helps that you had that truck for about 3-4 years. So for fans that have been following you that long, it has to be that Raptor, but the TRX could have been if you kept it longer, added a winch, did even .ore crazy stuff with it.
The tears will FLOW when you hand the TRX keys to its new owner! Awesome truck thanks for the memories 😎👍
I bought my TRX new in April of 2021. One year later to the day, I sold it for $40k more than I paid for it.
Why you thinking about getting one
Now with us knowing Ford is laying down and deciding not to put the sword down and beat this beast, I think Roman is going to regret trading this in. You can tell from the videos he has a deep love for this truck
Announcing that you are selling the TRX with that somber music in the background had me crying harder than when I first saw "Old Yeller" as a child.
I wish you guys were closer to me in Eastern Nebraska, I put on 35-40K miles a year managing farms and could definitely help you get your long-term miles up with some ride alongs.
Like others have said, sad to see it go. Enjoyed all the content you guys produced with it. The TRX (& the Power Wagon) are 2 of my favorite trucks out there. When (IF!) I ever get rid of my Hellcat, I'm gonna get one of those!
Thanks!
Goodbye my dear old friend. I'll miss our trips to __________________________.
Drive it in snow mode for better MPG!
Sweet truck I saw one in person a few weeks ago just a gorgeous vehicle and looks very capable but I wouldn't want to feed it you almost need a nother car so your not always feeding this monster but what a great job ram did on it
That MPG is what I’m getting on my 2019 Laramie Longhorn
It is still the most interesting truck on the market. I'd say you could get another year of content on it.
Overall, I was very impressed with the TRX. I didn't know how it would do against the Raptor at first but I would say it is on par for sure. Speed, it wins but I still think the Raptor is slightly better off road.
Will miss the TRX content but looking forward to the next great trucks!
Agreed, but not better in any area to justify nearly double the price!
How does andre pick up a coin from the ground with those nails ??? Weirds me out. 😅
That’s INSANE 9.9 seconds towing 7,000lbs😅🎉👍🏾
Not a Ram guy ,but this best truck on the road and off. It gets the same mpg as a Tundra lol. Not a daily driver to be sure in the current gas market.
Ford will release the 760 HP Raptor R at the end of the year
Ram will counter with the 797 HP TRX Redeye in 2023
Then the EV truck wars will take over.
If history repeats itself. The last of the big HP cars will fetch big money in 30+ years.
We will see these trucks going down the line of Barrett Jackson for 300k
Open up those wheel wells and put some forties on there, and this truck would be great.
Why would 40’s be beneficial?
@@ALMX5DP 🤣🤣🤣
@@JEEPIMPACT just a question is all. Do you have 40’s on your wrangler?
@@ALMX5DP yep
@@JEEPIMPACT what kind of benefit have you seen from running them?
I have a Rebel and wanted this but can’t get off the lot for under $100k and 10 mph premium only is a deal breaker. I’ll take the Rivian R1S for $78k (86 in my driveway) and sleep like a baby.
Do you have to run premium fuel?
12:45 made me chuckle 🤣
How is 13,000 miles long term??
My Silverado has 138,000 miles on it with zero issues...
You have tumbleweed ranch why don't you keep the TRX???
Even tho there is not much to compare I'd like to see a comparison of that ram trx and my 2003 dodge ram 1500 5.7 liter hemi the first one they put that engine in it would be cool to see how far they came
It would probably have been a lot closer with the Rivian had it been at Sea Level.
Great truck and great vid - both made me feel so much better about "cheaping-out" with a used Tacoma at a quarter of the price lol
You don’t have tier 2 level !! That’s why you don’t have keyless entry lol😂
The efficiency is actually good but the mileage is bad. When you look at what the truck can do given its weight, 10-11 miles per gallon is very good. Many trucks get that mileage and cannot do half of what the TRX can do.🤔
How many kilometers can 1 liter of fuel cover?
Since when is 13000 and a littler over a year “long term”. How about keep it past it’s warranty.
Yall getting 12 mpg lol how. 😆 I'm at 8-9 all day...
I guess you all forgot that one time the brakes cooked on it. Or that time it cut power while accelerating. Imagine getting on the highway and you loose all the power.
SAD DAY...............
Only two oil changes
I’m gonna miss the TRX content. Been a great truck but what Ram isn’t great? 👍😃
Hey Andre you know when your on the trails why did you use your mini chainsaw like you on one of your early video you try to cut that fallen branch that happen to fall on the trail lol, that you wouldn't have to pinstripe awesome TRX lol
Assumed the SC’d Raptor would beat the TRX since the Ford is aluminum and much lighter.
“No hiccups from this power train” , ah so we’re still not gonna mention the transmission not shifting vs the powerboost
TFL= TRF
What brand of pants are you wearing at 0:05 ?
I understand.,, Gas prices SUCK................ lol
You can buy this truck on car and bids.
We all know you're selling it to get the Raptor R and I don't blame you.
Isn't this the truck that snapped a front axle while off road awhile back ?
13k miles is far from longterm though
Low mileage better re sale value.
Still miss the tan gladiator
When will this truck start costing a lot to maintain?
Wonder how the Rivian woould do off road and towing and long range and cost comparison wise.
Rivian? Please that thing is a joke. Long range towing with an EV don't make me laugh.
Pretty doubtful you were the first princess.....
I know what happened, gas prices are bankrupting TFL.
This video isn’t about selling the truck, but it’s really trying to sell the truck. I’m guessing they’ll fetch $105k for it. Seen 2022 for $150k in LA.
You don’t buy a TRX for gas mileage
I drove my 2019 Cummins ram 50000 mile and the engine failed,the assholes at ram refuse to repair my truck,that is still under warranty and with the now famous recall ! Do yourself a favor don’t buy ram .Total junk with a worthless warranty
you guys are really crazy
I'd want so much, I want to desert race in a stock standard and beat these Raptors, I Have a Raptor killer
Best truck period now! And sad going to Electric Fraud ! It does everything well and is just bad assed! Plus its price tag is in the realm of much lessor truck!
What can you actually do with 700 horse power?
Rivian is a good truck but electric cars are not exciting to some of us lol we’d rather have the whine/roar and v8 🤣 a silent car is not fun
Badest truck on the road! Period!
Love your videos but my god that offoading video shows how bad the TRX is, it is so rough off road! You don’t by the TRX for offroad performance you buy it for the power! That’s where the Raptor R comes in best of both worlds
my 2003 hemi gets 12 mpg and doesn't have 700hp lol
lol didnt even drive it
.60 a mile in fuel costs
It's about time!!
An end of an Era. Definitely a future classic, I'd keep it if I were you. Loved all the TRX vids.
The fact is it was virtually bulletproof in a first-year truck and it was early production. I'm an advisor at a dealer and I can tell you we don't have that luxury.. and don't kid yourself a raptor is a lot slower and a lot less livable and has a lot less presence and shock value and cost the same. Don't let the 77k scare you most raptors are in the same range of price.. and the bonus is your truck doesn't have to sound like your wife's Taurus station wagon
Sounds like you’re loyal to your employer lol
In fairness, I highly doubt someone buying a TRX cares about fuel efficiency.
For sure. No one is buying a 7000 lb truck with a supercharged V8 on 35s expecting decent fuel economy.
Fr lol
Loved these videos and got my TRX that looks just like it last month. Such an awesome truck..
Tommy encouraged me to buy my 2019 4Runner TRD Off Road, a few years back, and you guys encouraged my husband to recently order a TRX!... I'm always looking forward to what you guys buy next!
It has been quite a journey!
I see the instrument cluster took a beating
I was shocked at how easily that plastic scratches on mine
Same with my 19 Taco. 😣
Easier to replace than repainting a fender though..
Even for a dodge product 13,000 miles is nothing. Definitely not enough to tell whether it’s reliable.
We need to see the TRX go through the Tumbleweed hard course
Sad day, but was so glad to see all the great things you guys did with the truck. Almost brings tears to my eyes seeing the old video clips though. Hope the next owner enjoys it just as much.
13,000 miles driven a 1/4 mile drag race at a time!
Say 56,000 is what it’s worth with the scratches the hard use on road drag racing and hard off-road use. That truck had been abused more than 99 percent of the TRX on the market
Can't be healthy to have an erection that long
To be honest I believe you guys should have listed on cars and bids as they do really well
You shouldn't get rid of it, love that truck, the channel won't be quite the same.
Just bought one last week. Your reviews really played a role in my decision. Really love this truck. Wish you guys wood keep it a bit longer. This truck made me come back to the channel. Thank you guys for all the great info
How are you liking it so far?
Did the TRX trounce the tumbleweed ranch course, I haven't seen it go through?
Good question, as I don't recall seeing it take on any courses at the ranch either. Let's hope before they sell it, they do take it on every ranch course it could fit down, as that would be a cool thing to see and a good note to end the TRX videos once and for all.
Truly amazing how many vehicles this TRX out dragged.
Awesome truck!!! Maybe the Ram TRX guys can teach the Ram diesel engineers how to build a transmission that actually last longer then a year..
You order the Aisin transmission with the high output Cummins. Not ideal, but it beats the in-house transmission.
@@gungadinn agree 💯
You guys are making a big mistake getting rid of that truck that's one truck you shoukd keep always. They will never ever build another like it. Ever... the days of insane perfectness power and looks an comfort. Reconsider you shoukd buy it andre..Andre...
"first in the world". They don't sell this outside of North America, guys
Can you hold on for a day or two before you sell? I need to find out how much I’m getting for my right kidney!
Long range test.... 13k miles. 😂😂😂 Try 130k miles. That's a true long range test.
Hardest 13k miles than most TRX
Not really realistic to have them keep it for 10 years. Also the miles they put on the truck aren't really easy miles. Towing, off-roading, and drag racing it constantly.
Unless you plan on keeping the truck nobody puts 130k miles on the odometer anymore, especially a channel that flips their trucks in order to purchase new ones to test.
@@Nikephorus true but to say no worries about the transmission after 13,000 is silly.
Prob a lease…
found 8 used trx used in my area best used price was 85900.
found 3 new trx 2022 , best new price 77524 dollar
i think they need to take the 85000 offer from the dealer
if you are getting ripped off in your area , expand you search or charge you zip code look around and don't let people rip you off
Saddest sale on this channel!!
If you want to donate it to me. I would sign a contract saying I can’t sell it for 10 years. 😉
