      @@RJ_100 The TRX is plain looking compared to the mean look of the Titan. The Titan looks like a real T-rex, while the TRX looks nothing like a T-rex. The F-150 raptor looks like a raptor. Now we have the RHO, which looks a lot like the TRX but apparently it is a Rhino now. Just absolutely pathetic. The TRX will never be a T-rex because it won't last as long as the dinosaur, it not going to go past 1 million miles like a Titan can. VK56 engine is bulletproof.
      I see TRX on the highway, it looks like any other Ram truck. The 2019 Rebel looks better than the TRX. TRX front headlight is small, compared to previous Ram's generations. For 110,000 dollars, I expect the TRX to stand out significantly---it does not.
      You cannot compare a TRX to a regular Titan Pro-4X. A Titan Warrior would be a better comparison.

    The TRX is Rams version of the Ford Raptor. When Ram did the reveal of it, they had the song "Mr. Sandman" playing on the commercial. Ford answered with the Raptor R shortly after. During Fords release, they played the song "Enter Sandman" by Metallica.. Probably one of the best marking strategies I've witnessed by Ford.

Sure, cars had removable tops and doors in 1915 didn't exist I guess.. heck, the first car ever made in 1880's didn't have doors or a roof so we put doors and roofs on them just so you can remove them again.. smart.. But hey, at least you can take the doors of the Bronco and still have mirrors unlike the Wrangler.... Then to the 6.4 V8 that Jeep made that produces 470 HP and 470 lb ft of tourqe while Fords HO 3.5 V6 that they have had for years produces 450 HP and 510 lb ft of torque (20 Hp less than Jeep but 40 more lb ft of torque) and it gets better gas mileage.. Why wouldn't they just up the V6 a little and beat Jeeps V8 with a V6? Makes more sense to do that but hey, I'm no expert on the subject so
