People really think its going to be cheap on the used market? Look at the current model ram 1500 limited for comparison that is still over 50,000$ used with 30,000 miles.This truck having a considerably higher "cool" factor will keep resale considerably higher. Yes it will lose a bit but its not going to be a 40,000$ truck anytime soon.
That t rex eating the raptor has to be the cockiest thing I've ever seen, and to reveal that before ford has a chance to unveil the new raptor.... well I'm sure you just motivated there engineers a bit more 😉
So the TRX can follow a Raptor around for about an hour before it needs a fill up? Most off-roading is not high speed or on the gas, during those times the Raptor is running as a NA V6 getting 20 mpg, that is the nature of a turbo engine. When turbo is needed it will still deliver earth rotating torque at 1200 rpm, the second you don't it's a NA V6 again. That Supercharger is always running it's driven by the crankshaft, so that engine is always sucking down gas.
@Jonathan Spier The I-Rex was a superior to the T-Rex, I think that's overachieving, yeah T-Rex did help out but one of the raptors knocked near the lake so the lake dino(i don't know what it was) could take the I-rex out
@Jonathan Spier in Jurassic World (fourth movie), the raptor (Blue) and the T-rex team up to take down the Indominus rex which is ultimately killed by the mosasaurs. Wouldn't it be cool if Chevy comes out with a off road truck called Indominus?
Just in time for the competition to come out with their next gen truck and claim the number one spot. Dodge just had to release the truck now so that way they could lead for a bit, had they released it a year later, the new raptor would be out and they'd not be the leader.
What competition? Lol. The raptor is a focus with a lift kit and the “trail boss” is pretty much a styling package. This thing is what the raptor wants to be when it grows up.
Yeah, idk. I don’t really consider the TRX a “super truck”. To me a super truck is a street truck. The srt10 is a (borderline) super truck. If they made one now, it would be a super truck. But compared to the competition, it’s not that fast in today’s new vehicle market. But they do need to make a hellcat ram. 🔥🔥
@@givnofuchs5742 I dont understand the obsession with red tow hooks anyway. If you don't know what (or where) they are, you have no business being in a "position" needing or using them. Personally I think all the glaring red ones (except on red trucks, then they look slick) are like the "bull balls".......posture with no pump.
I am a lifelong Ford man. I've always loved the Raptors but I need an F250 for towing a 5th wheel and other large trailers. I am honestly seriously impressed by this truck. Ford is going to have to step up their game. Competition is a good thing. If I was in the market for a half ton truck right now I would be all over the TRX!
I have been a life long Ford fan, however RAM is starting to catch my eye, more and more. If ford does not roll out a supercharged V8 to battle the TRX, by default, Ford will be vacating the Truck Throne. A battery pack with twin turbochargers is not the answer, Ford. Hope and pray you are listening Mr. Ford! (As always, great content TFL!)
I think a hybrid truck with a supercharger would be badass, tbh. Imagine how good the throttle response would be, with the electric motor smoothing out shifts.
I've been a big Chevy guy since the 70s, so I hope this will be a wakeup call for GM to make a supercharged offroad truck, but it seems like Ram is killing the game with performance cars and trucks these days. The trailboss is mediocre compared to the Raptor and TRX.
I seriously cannot wait to see this thing do some real off-roading. I would really like to know how well it does on trails since it is a REALLY wide truck. Make it happen TFL crew! Legitimately, no one else is going to do it so it is up to you!
Issaq Al-Ahmed if I had this truck the last place I would take it is off road. I would de-badge it and race unsuspecting millennials who are driving their dads Audi and make them look silly
Cost of ownership is a reality. The mpg the 3.5 TT delivers factored into my decision to abandon a strategy of having a car and a truck and simply buy a crew cab truck. My old truck would get 15 mpg on a good day this one will get 25 mpg if I'm driving state road or limit it to 65, if I drive 75 it'll still average 22+. Heck the 3.5 TT will get 13 pulling my 6000 lb boat, that is what my old truck averaged, pulling at boat it was lucky to see 10.
@fox mulder I went to a Raptor from a 350Z and the size difference in most places is fine. That said, that will definitely be the exact list of complaints in a youtuber's video. I think your title is off though. It'll be, "I'm selling my TRX after 6 months, here's why."

I still don’t think this beats the Raptor but props to FCA/Ram for making competition for the Raptor. Competition breeds innovation which then turns into success.
Back when a cable was necessary to actuate the transmission a console shifter made sense, but now it just takes-up a lot of real estate that could otherwise be used for more practical purposes. Honestly, I’d love to get rid of the console shifter in my truck (F150).
I’d rather have the six-person seating afforded by a bench seat. I see consoles as a waste of space. I’ve only had one pickup with a console, way back in the days of my 2008 Tundra.

For the price that these will be selling for, I’d rather have a hellcat - and a regular truck (For work). Maybe I’m wrong, my honest opinion.
@@danielvisintainer3352 chill Daniel it barely came out of the factory. We do not know yet. I'm just mentioning in my original post about the sign/stamp of a t-rex eating a raptor.
Man, Dodge is the car manufacturer that lets their kids come up with the ideas for the next vehicle. Lol. I just imagine every year they say “make it faster” or “make it cooler” or “make it louder”. I’m not a dodge guy at all. But I respect them making the vehicles people dream of.
The tow rating surprised me because even though they beef up the frames on off road rigs like the Raptor, the softer sprung suspensions usually reduce the towing capacity a lot more than this. With all the available HP and Torque, people sometimes expect monster towing numbers, but don't take into consideration that this is built more for high flying, off the line / flat out speed than anything else. It's a beautiful package; a theme park thrill ride on four wheels. I only wish that I could ford the price of admission.
Needs 3.0 or larger to get competitive. It’s definitely an amazing starting point for anyone considering these type of trucks need a lot of power and this thing already comes with all the power.
It’s unfortunate that we broke folk will never get to enjoy one of these brand new... I make $70k a year and I have a mortgage with 3 kids - my income is decent but I ain’t gonna be owning an $85k vehicle - I’m lucky to afford something around $20k-$25k currently - it’s so far from reality for someone like me It’s an amazingly awesome truck but I’ll never live it - I’ll just continue to dream it....
That because the tires limit the truck... remove the tires and the electronic limiter and you probably can get this up 150 no problem if you find the tires for it
If this were a SRT-10 style truck with a road race suspension and w rated tires, I'd say top speed probably 160. TRX setup for offroad racing. 50mph off road on whoops and desert runs are fast as hell.
Just to clarify I know the limiter is because of tires. I should have elaborated. Remove the limiter, and modify for that purpose. Same way some people will lift them, I’m sure someone will slam one and throw drag radials on.
@@BamaPewPew I sure people are going make stupid horse power numbers with them too... it'll be very interesting seeing these run once people start modifying. At the same time, I'm wishing ram would bring a srt 10 type truck back in a way. That way they not only have a off road truck but a performance street truck. Could be a good marketing strategy to be used to sell there lower end models
@@ArizonaGunsDave I own a 2015 RAM 2500 HD w a Cummins. 82K miles. Ive only had to change the tires and oil. It will still pull you house off of its foundation without blinking. RAM is just fine.

This is awesome! Way to go Ram! I'm a Ford guy, but this is where Ram excels and Ford falls flat on it's face. Ram is continuing on the American V8 heritage, and Ford is frivolously tossing it away.
Man oh man oh man! Great job with the chassis overview! I am blown away at the super beefy build under this truck! I've only seen Bilsteins and and such overbuilt framing on custom builds. It's crazy but some manufacturers still use the three sided frame rather than secure it with a full box frame.
If so not only did it take dodge or fiat who ever owns Chrysler now over 10 years to copy the Raptor. They couldn’t be original with the name. It’s a cool truck tho
@2:48 it’s a single screw and a wiper. When he spun it backwards you can see the 3 lobed wiper spins 66% faster than the 5 bladed screw. The harmonic is what make the screws whine so much more than a Roots type blower
I’m so glad you guys actually showed that the trx is much more than a rebel with a hell cat engine people don’t seem to understand that the suspension is completely different and make it handle way better in the dirt than the rebel or any other ram on the market
Over the last two weeks I have seen 2 TRX's, a wide body Charger, and a Gladiator testing around Pueblo, Colorado. This has been between midnight and 4am. I tried to get good pics but unfortunately was unable to.
Hey guys! You should consider on buying a Lewitt Interviewer microphone, it would solve a lot of audio problems just by himself. Love your videos! Keep up the good work!
I get 60 mpg already in my hybrid, my other car gets GPM instead. I said 8 since like new GT500 mustangs are getting like 9 mpg real world its really bad for them.
But if we are going to be honest, there is going to be very few people going offroad with this really expensive, heavy and big truck. We will see how many will and if the truck is any good offroad
Not to mention a fully tricked out Raptor is still like 5k less than the base, you get 200 more pounds of towing and the same basic top speed. Really this is lets put as much power in a truck as possible but govern it so its a faster off the line than a raptor but the same truck for 15k more base. These things are just stupid unless you have to own something that say SRT and if your gonna spend that much why not buy a Shelby F150 and get something that is faster than both of them.
Hey Brother that's after they pay a 100 grand + because you know the dealer is going to be asking that for the first batch and they'll be some idiot out there running it through the mud just because he can
I don't get the infatuation with these big desert runner trucks. They are too big to use off road in the way most people go off road, and they suck as everyday pickups. I guess they look cool.
The varying sound decibels was infuriating.. the son was talking about things I was actually trying to hear, then Roman would come in screaming “let’s talk about the side steps!” Da fawk? Dude, let’s talk about fixing audio issues.
Let's not forget about the Ford Lightning, GMC Cyclone, Shelby Ram, and Silverado 454 that pioneered the concept of the performance truck in the first place.
Good to see some in person up close and real hands on unveiling events again from TFL. :) And such an interesting content to break back into that video segment.
@@cjgordon22 I'd say my judgement comes from experiences 2016 and down. Dodges can't withstand any abuse, they don't have reliable designs, and they use cheap materials to save money. I have always thought that they look good assthetic wise. I do wonder if they put more effort into making their higher end cars (like the challenger) more quality built.
@@Isaac-xg3zc I own a 2018 challenger rt shaker with a 6spd and I've put 52000km with no real issues other then a bad radio screen. It's been great and for what it is it's not bad on gas
The Eatser egg as pointed out by Tommy proves that there really isn`t any addults in this world, just big childs, sorta love it tho ;) Great fun from Dodge`s side =D
Will be interested in seeing how the sales numbers vs. the Ford Raptor will be. Everyone that will rush to buy this from a stealership err dealership, be prepared to get ripped off!
Yep if ya want it first you will pay for it. But i still think the raptor will sell more and I'm a GM fanboy, gm missed out big on that one its almost to late for them to even put out a competitor.
the raptor is $24k less than this. so they are technically in the same class, but vastly different prices and power. so the raptor is more affordable and performs pretty well.
Let's be truly fair about all this. People whom have experience and or do proper research with repair record #'s know it is not in the "most reliable" category. So they don't buy it expecting it to out last a Toyota. They buy it for its looks, its capabilities(short lasting or not)its interior comfort/luxury feel. Or specifically in this case, it's promoted off the line HP/Torque and desert running competitive spirit against the Raptor.(although, only a fraction of the owners will actually use it in that manner)In 3-6 years you trade in what ever is left of it and start all over again.
I’ve watched almost every video you guys have put out and never knew Tommy was your son.... but now I realize he kinda looks like you....thanks for your videos guys....

The check engine light is on because it’s not running. 🙄
Beautiful truck, so happy Ram and Dodge keep pushing the envelope on HP and made a beast of a truck.
Man, Dodge is the car manufacturer that lets their kids come up with the ideas for the next vehicle. Lol. I just imagine every year they say “make it faster” or “make it cooler” or “make it louder”. I’m not a dodge guy at all. But I respect them making the vehicles people dream of.
The tow rating surprised me because even though they beef up the frames on off road rigs like the Raptor, the softer sprung suspensions usually reduce the towing capacity a lot more than this. With all the available HP and Torque, people sometimes expect monster towing numbers, but don't take into consideration that this is built more for high flying, off the line / flat out speed than anything else. It's a beautiful package; a theme park thrill ride on four wheels. I only wish that I could ford the price of admission.
Ram: "We have the most powerful, fastest, quickest truck in America" *Shelby Super Snake F-150 enters chat*
Shelby F150 isn't Ford factory produced. They're a custom Shelby build. Not comparable.
@@adrianleusink1970 He didn't say factory truck, he said quickest truck in America....quite comparable using that statement
@@WallyMerc06 Then it should be comparable to farm truck.

Needs 3.0 or larger to get competitive. It’s definitely an amazing starting point for anyone considering these type of trucks need a lot of power and this thing already comes with all the power.
Is Roman covering the mic with his finger? Lol

Owwwww. That's harsh.
I'm surprised you guys didn't talk about the 3rd shock absorber on the rear axle that looks to help control axle wrap. Pretty cool truck.
It’s unfortunate that we broke folk will never get to enjoy one of these brand new...
I make $70k a year and I have a mortgage with 3 kids - my income is decent but I ain’t gonna be owning an $85k vehicle - I’m lucky to afford something around $20k-$25k currently - it’s so far from reality for someone like me
It’s an amazingly awesome truck but I’ll never live it - I’ll just continue to dream it....
I prefer my lifted super duty. Its simple aggressive and off road capable
And not to mention affordable
Im right there with ya man. I understand completely.
easy fix dont have kids
@@martinalvarado8109
Gee, thanks for the enlightening insight - your addition to the conversation is priceless....
It's awesome that you get to work with your son and have a good relationship with him.
Love everyone from TFLT!!! But Tommy really makes the videos so much better!! Huge fan guys!!! 👌🏻👍🏻💯
Thanks for the kind words! -Tommy
Top speed 118? My Lightning topped out over 140 18 years ago. I would imagine if you take that limiter off you could hit 160-180
Yeah he said 118 was fast for a pickup truck...but not for one with THAT MUCH POWER! Limiter should be like 150 at least.
That because the tires limit the truck... remove the tires and the electronic limiter and you probably can get this up 150 no problem if you find the tires for it
If this were a SRT-10 style truck with a road race suspension and w rated tires, I'd say top speed probably 160.
TRX setup for offroad racing. 50mph off road on whoops and desert runs are fast as hell.
Just to clarify I know the limiter is because of tires. I should have elaborated. Remove the limiter, and modify for that purpose. Same way some people will lift them, I’m sure someone will slam one and throw drag radials on.
@@BamaPewPew I sure people are going make stupid horse power numbers with them too... it'll be very interesting seeing these run once people start modifying. At the same time, I'm wishing ram would bring a srt 10 type truck back in a way. That way they not only have a off road truck but a performance street truck. Could be a good marketing strategy to be used to sell there lower end models
"Not only my friend, but my son Tommy" ... That comment got me..
All of my wants....gimme gimme.
Everything great but its still a dodge quality and reliability
Great you want an unreliable truck. Where's the sense in that? Read consumer reports once in a while.
@@ArizonaGunsDave I own a 2015 RAM 2500 HD w a Cummins. 82K miles. Ive only had to change the tires and oil. It will still pull you house off of its foundation without blinking. RAM is just fine. You probably think the New York Times is unbiased too, lol. Every one of those rags and ' awards ' is a paid advertisement and consumer reports are steered the way whoever wants them to go. You're telling me to not believe my lying eyes and but rather some piece of paper? No thanks. A TRX will be in my garage soon. I guess you can cry again then lol.
@@clm652 first of all I don't read a New York times so I'm not sure what that comment has to do with what I said (I'm a conservative Army vet) as far as you pulling me or pulling my house off its foundation or whatever you stated, okay and? I already stated that American trucks are more powerful when they're working so tell me something I don't know. 82,000 miles? Call me when you have 300,000 miles.
@@ArizonaGunsDave No, not 82,000 miles......82,000 trouble free miles. So much for consumer reports.
You two are as excited as kids in a candy store. Enjoyed the video.
lol “118mph! That is fast for a pickup truck”
Guys I realize that you’ve gotta act really blown away at new specs for filming purposes but cmon Roman... lol 😂
My f250 gets to 100 but is electronically limited and i don’t doubt this one is too. The TRX is probably pushing 130+ mph
@@acemaddox7027 I hit 135 in my 2018 6.2 Silverado and it still had 2 gears left
@@CuttingEdgeDesigns985 then the TRX is over the 150 mark
That truck is a certified beast!
A 6.4L Hemi as a more "normal" performance truck would be a really great step in between. Not everyone can or wants to buy a Hellcat RAM 1500.
I would prefer 6.4 over supercharged 6.2 if everything else stayed the same mechanically. And some basic interior.
@@zelenizub2036 Yeah the TRX is way too luxurious on the inside.
But the 5.7 hemi is faster
If it's tuned to the 392 specs of the Scat Packs... Don't want that same 6.4L spec thats in the gas 2500...
Word...would be better for me to have the hemi for sure. Would be sweet to have a supercharger but not necessary.
I personally like trucks going back to sleeker headlights vs. the modern huge blocky ones consuming half the front.
I like the big headlights on some of them
Great specs...but the upper shock mounts don't look very sturdy. ...but I guess not that critical in Austin texas or Calabasas California where most of these will live.🤠
Lol not too many people will get the calabasas reference.
It's so well executed. I love all the little details that dont look like after thoughts

This is awesome! Way to go Ram! I'm a Ford guy, but this is where Ram excels and Ford falls flat on it's face.
Ram is continuing on the American V8 heritage, and Ford is frivolously tossing it away.
Looks better than the raptor
Sounds better too
Ford must be motivated now. The new For F150 is pretty nice with the new interior.
"Looks better than the Raptor"

You're Delusional.
@@Jophlo78 It does though
@Vince Someone's butthurt lol
Another video covering this truck stated the hideous LEDs in the scoop were DOT mandated... Anyone know why??
A wide body ram with a non supercharged engine would be great to bring cost down
Man oh man oh man! Great job with the chassis overview! I am blown away at the super beefy build under this truck! I've only seen Bilsteins and and such overbuilt framing on custom builds. It's crazy but some manufacturers still use the three sided frame rather than secure it with a full box frame.
Looks great, but I just can’t ever buy another Dodge. Such a horrible past experience I’ll never pull that trigger again!
I just received my 2021 ram, it’s my seventh new one in the last 20 years and loved everyone of them!!!😊👍
Technically it's not a Dodge tho right?
I'm loving the beast from India😍
Can't wait to see it Launching in India.
Company Name matches with mine -RAM ❤️🥰😎💪
I am ready to get a lot of speeding tickets, I mean a lot, with over 700HP I need to go fast, screw the speed limit, Just hit it all the way
Dominic Garcia tell that to the cops , they don’t care, they see u they want your ass on the table
@@dom00000 dude its so fast. Top speed is irrelevant. 0-60 is what natters. How often you go over 90 MPH?
This one upmanship just keeps getting better and better for we consumers!!!
Just realized that maybe TRX is supposed to be pronounced "T-ReX" after seeing that Easter egg. It all makes sense now🤯
If so not only did it take dodge or fiat who ever owns Chrysler now over 10 years to copy the Raptor. They couldn’t be original with the name. It’s a cool truck tho
In 1996 Dodge had the concept 6x6 V10 It was called TReX.
@2:48 it’s a single screw and a wiper. When he spun it backwards you can see the 3 lobed wiper spins 66% faster than the 5 bladed screw. The harmonic is what make the screws whine so much more than a Roots type blower
If that truck isn't Americannn enough for ya idk what is 🙃🙃
Um, probably the Texas built stainless steel Cybertruck
@@aussie2uGA yep and not a oversized fiat 😂
It’s a fiat.
It’s Italian
Love the TFL! You are the Best. Love that father and son work together. Great respect.
I wanna see this thing in the Baja 1000!
I’m so glad you guys actually showed that the trx is much more than a rebel with a hell cat engine people don’t seem to understand that the suspension is completely different and make it handle way better in the dirt than the rebel or any other ram on the market
I’d love to see this in a sports truck version like a SRT-10 or rumble bee 🐝
That tuck is just so BAD ASS!!!
23 thumbs down are the F-150 engineering team.
Over the last two weeks I have seen 2 TRX's, a wide body Charger, and a Gladiator testing around Pueblo, Colorado. This has been between midnight and 4am. I tried to get good pics but unfortunately was unable to.
The T Rex!
If you call it T rex then you need to call TRD turd
@@Phishsamich I do, especially when they have that huge Power Turd sticker.
$71k! With accessories and extended warranty its going to easily hit 100k!. Simply outrageous.
Can’t wait to see how Ford competes. Even if they don’t, there still ahead of Chevy lol
No comparison...
Ford has and always will prevail....watch..
Chevy is ahead in price and fuel shit
They did.. they have the roush nitemare it’s 650hp with a 3.9 0-60.
@@makeamericagreatagain7314 well not today lol ram win this round
Bad news is the new raptor still going to have a V6 .. unless you have some sort of special edition and that sucks
Hey guys! You should consider on buying a Lewitt Interviewer microphone, it would solve a lot of audio problems just by himself.
Love your videos! Keep up the good work!
I'm saying 8 mpg x 33 gallons so 260 miles of range baby
itsMike Enjoy the 40 mpg tooling around in your Corolla.
8? I seriously doubt it's going to be as low as that, I bet it's at least 12-14 ATLEAST.
Rebels are getting 14 real world mpg, if this gets the same/more those rebel boys are going to be upset lol.
Mike K Anyone with a brain would rather drive a Toyota than a Chrysler
I get 60 mpg already in my hybrid, my other car gets GPM instead. I said 8 since like new GT500 mustangs are getting like 9 mpg real world its really bad for them.
I always use my left foot, when climbing into the driver's seat on the rock rail.
But if we are going to be honest, there is going to be very few people going offroad with this really expensive, heavy and big truck. We will see how many will and if the truck is any good offroad
That would be me!
Just the same with Raptors in the real world. 90%+ are pavement queen mall pushers.
Not to mention a fully tricked out Raptor is still like 5k less than the base, you get 200 more pounds of towing and the same basic top speed. Really this is lets put as much power in a truck as possible but govern it so its a faster off the line than a raptor but the same truck for 15k more base. These things are just stupid unless you have to own something that say SRT and if your gonna spend that much why not buy a Shelby F150 and get something that is faster than both of them.
Hey Brother that's after they pay a 100 grand + because you know the dealer is going to be asking that for the first batch and they'll be some idiot out there running it through the mud just because he can
I don't get the infatuation with these big desert runner trucks. They are too big to use off road in the way most people go off road, and they suck as everyday pickups. I guess they look cool.
The best review I’ve seen of this new TRX Truck. Great job guys!
A 5 dollar one way valve gonna seize that motor ! Lol
Tommy's face smiling from far... priceless ! 🤣👍
The varying sound decibels was infuriating.. the son was talking about things I was actually trying to hear, then Roman would come in screaming “let’s talk about the side steps!” Da fawk?
Dude, let’s talk about fixing audio issues.
Let's not forget about the Ford Lightning, GMC Cyclone, Shelby Ram, and Silverado 454 that pioneered the concept of the performance truck in the first place.
Hopefully ram will make a hellcat version maybe bring the factory muscle truck back
This has a hellcat motor??🤔
@@ryadhasanahmed5443 he meant a viper engine like the srt 10
The Truck looks Great in Red with all the Black Accents.
If your son did a showing and benefits of each vehicle like this he’d be the next Doug Demuro
Good to see some in person up close and real hands on unveiling events again from TFL. :) And such an interesting content to break back into that video segment.
But at the end of the day, it's a dodge which means it most likely inherits that "dodge quality"
@Jonathan Spier alright its a chrysler haha same thing
It's a Dodge chrysler
Chrysler has come a long way in the last ten years. Judging a companies current product on what they made 20 years ago is pretty closed minded
@@cjgordon22 I'd say my judgement comes from experiences 2016 and down. Dodges can't withstand any abuse, they don't have reliable designs, and they use cheap materials to save money. I have always thought that they look good assthetic wise. I do wonder if they put more effort into making their higher end cars (like the challenger) more quality built.
@@Isaac-xg3zc I own a 2018 challenger rt shaker with a 6spd and I've put 52000km with no real issues other then a bad radio screen. It's been great and for what it is it's not bad on gas

Facts
Yep if ya want it first you will pay for it. But i still think the raptor will sell more and I'm a GM fanboy, gm missed out big on that one its almost to late for them to even put out a competitor.
the raptor is $24k less than this. so they are technically in the same class, but vastly different prices and power. so the raptor is more affordable and performs pretty well.
@@Koogz406 right! If they do, I wonder what would they call it. Lol
this is the first time in a couple of decades I've thought about buying a pickup.
NSFW... Tommy fists the TRex at 9:02! 😂
Strange alright, usually it's the other way I think,,
U guys do one thing! And you NAIL IT! Home run guys
Until Ram betters itself with its reliability issues I wouldn't be considering this heap.
Let's be truly fair about all this. People whom have experience and or do proper research with repair record #'s know it is not in the "most reliable" category. So they don't buy it expecting it to out last a Toyota. They buy it for its looks, its capabilities(short lasting or not)its interior comfort/luxury feel. Or specifically in this case, it's promoted off the line HP/Torque and desert running competitive spirit against the Raptor.(although, only a fraction of the owners will actually use it in that manner)In 3-6 years you trade in what ever is left of it and start all over again.
The issues with Chrysler is historical stemming back to Lee Iacocca days with the budget K cars
I’ve watched almost every video you guys have put out and never knew Tommy was your son.... but now I realize he kinda looks like you....thanks for your videos guys....
