#ram #trx #rip - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Since Stellantis took over Ram and Dodge, they have been in a downward spiral in terms of listening to customers wants. These companies once had the most exciting lineup of offerings but are following in the footsteps of Nissan by not refreshing vehicles and killing off the more desirable options. They need to kick Peugeot executives the hell out of the American market!!!!!
SCREW THE TRX THEY NEED TO BRING BACK THE RAM DAKOTA PERIOD.
There is NOTHING wrong with Nissan!
We don't need Peugeot I agree 💯
@@billybobbob3003 can’t we have both in the market?
@@allentoyokawa9068 except it’s management….
When it was still 70 grand, it was a great value. However now since it's 100 to 115 its not worth it anymore.
I agree, when I saw the title of this topic I already knew that it was going to be based on sluggish sales due to manufacturer price increase and over-the-top dealer mark ups.
TRUTH!
its not the price, dodge is discontinuing the charger and challenger along with the hellcat motor.
@@raymondj.2351its not because of that, its because dodge is also discontinuing the charger and challenger this year too. they're discontinuing all big V8s.
They going electric. Some reason they think they will survive when all their best selling vehicles are ice.
So the Rex went extinct before the raptor did.
@Troy342 Waah, Waah, don't cry mr. cry baby boy !!
@Troy342 cool, so which ford model do you own?
Ford is 🌈
Ford never stud a chance… dodge did it first . There I said it
@gator2285 Most of the people in the company are against that. Plus, it was out of fear of the woke mob. Not excusing ford since what they did is inexcusable, but to say they did it cuz they truly wanted to is somewhat ridiculous.
I'll have to say, Ram TRX content on TFL was some of my favorite.
100% agree
It's like Stellantis is trying to go out of business, they are discontinuing all the halo products, what are customers going to be excited about?
Well now they won’t have to feel the need or want to buy any Dodge products. So Ford will like that because they will be jumping ship to ford.
Electric is what they want customers to be excited about, I say no thanks to that.
Them banking CAFE/CARB Credits... like they should have, but their consumer base didn't want to sell out... here's the result. don't worry, the Rampage won't be a US market Truck, South America etc only and if we get another small truck it'll be the Ram 1000 aka Fiat Toro, badged as a Dakota and be a tiny underpowered shoe. But least we didn't sell out to make an EV until we "had to" am I right?
It's not the brand I'm sure they dont like paying millions to the government per year because of the increase in cafe standards. Dodge and ram were never good at fuel efficiency.
The new Dodge Toenail will save them
People saying the mark ups killed the truck, no that isn’t it.
RacerX even did a video on this subject, FCA was paying out the ass for not making EPA targeted MPGs. They were buying credits from other companies for a ton of money. If you’re looking for blame, blame the damn government!!
So what I’d pay the extra $3,000 in gas tax to continue buying these type of cars and trucks with the hell cat engine. In the scheme of things taxes like that are a small amount of money compared to the cost you pay for the vehicles and the amount of money Dodge could make keeping these vehicles being produced.
@@jasonknight5863 we’re talking Millions if not Billions in extra cost to the company for non compliance. I’m not talking about the gas guzzler tax
Nah blame the damn company bruh
WRONG!!! It's the company!
I mean take a moment to realize how bad of a brand Dodge has always been.
@@oscara.9265 Stellantis got fined $235.5 million this year for missing EPA fuel economy standards for their 2018 and 2019 model year vehicles.
Both Ford and GM has been working on keeping their V8s for the next gen, investing in improvements to emissions to make them work for at least another decade or two. Stellantis however is dropping V8s, like the new owners don't realize how important the Hemi V8 has been to the current success of the company. What is Dodge or RAM without the Hemi?
GM is also killing the company.
They already killed the Camaro and missed by a longshot competing with the Ford Bronco and the Jeep Wrangler with their soccer mom Blazer
@oscara.9265 Nobody was buying the Camaro and the Blazer actually sells well. But at least they will continue with the V8 as they invested big on their next gen V8s.
@@gpaje yeah but only the Corvette. That's it. The Blazer might sell well because it's an SUV wich is what everyone are looking for but, not a direct competitor with Bronco or Jeep.
Oh wait! Also the Corvette SUV, i think 🤣
Hell, Chevy didn't even try to compete with the Raptor and TRX
Dodge will fall hard when they don’t offer any v8s. I think stellantis is doing it on purpose
The real reason the HEMI is dying, is because this engine is an old fashioned iron block, with aluminum heads, which meant a big chunk of weight on the nose, compared to V-8s from Ford, and GM, and that meant a very inefficient car, and truck portfolio.
Stealerships marked them up, out of existence
No they aren't. They are basically giving mopars away, even the TRXs
@@Blue_Flame_Raptornope
@@Blue_Flame_Raptorput the crack pipe down 😂
@Blue_Flame_Raptor you've mistaken yourself with the Craptor
@youtubesucks2001 are you kidding me? There are basically 0 raptors selling for msrp but many TRXs are selling at or under msrp. There are still markups at the crazy dealers but at least you have a chance at msrp with Chrysler.
Not a Ram fan, but this truck was great. Being new to tinkering and rebuilding suspensions, etc I can justify 100k in my mind anymore. So many great used trucks now that I can build up and make my own for 40-50k and have a greater pride of ownership.
The dealerships hillbilly mentality made it a pain to buy for anyone who wanted one. “ Ok I’ll sell it to you but give me 50 grand and I’ll sell it to you” and Dodge let them get away with it. The salesmen messed it up because they were greedy.
Laughs in that one ford Dealer that wanted 100k markup on a Raptor R. What Ford fanboi... I mean sucker paid over $200k for a F150 with some "long travel" suspension and with a GT500 Yote just to park it at Whole Foods. NONE of them are getting used like Cleetus'
Just imagine those sales commission checks 😅.
The "Hillbilly" mentality would not goto a dealership and buy a truck like the Ram TRX. They would try to build one themselves.
The federal reserve messed it up slamming interest rates to zero for most of a decade, creating price bubbles in everything from stocks, real estate, and cars.
As much as you think it is impossible, watch the prices of these $100k trucks plummet over the next 2 years. Boom time is over.
@@951media- Well said!! You understand very well!!
Ram is smart enough to know there’s not routinely enough market to have 2 super trucks. 2019, first 6 months, the F150 Raptor was the only “super truck” then and sat on every Ford dealership lot with $10,000 to $15,000 discounts (Canadian, I’m in Alberta) and they still would deal with you! I know, I bought a SuperCab version. By the end of the year, they were MSRP only! The shortage affect on supply began.
Ford is flexible enough in their production that they can control the ups & downs in the market.
I know they have all the bells and whistles , but they're all over well over 110k. I could only imagine now when sellers find out they're at the end of the line
Just tried buying one today. Dealer tried to sneak in a $15k markup into the financing without disclosing it. I hope Ram realizes what their dealers do.
I'd march outta there so damn quick straight to a Ford dealer. What a dog act.
@@kylebutler7142ford does the same thing if not worse
dealership mark-ups is murdering TRX.
Nah. That's not it at all.
Dealer mark up on all truck,s ridiculous
Got my 106k fully loaded 2023 TRX for 11k off msrp. But yes, people that chose to snooze on ordering one 6+ months ago when multiple dealers were offering amazing discounts, are going to pay a lot of money for the remaining few TRX's out there.
Good deal but if financed that 11k savings is probably the intrest on the loan with these rates
@@jamessilvester4622 depends on how much is financed and if the loan is paid off early.
Can’t believe the TRX is going so soon. This will be one of the coolest pickups every made!
TFL is by far one of my favorite channels but i wish they would quit saying "1 year 20,000 miles" is long term.
Nathan said they did have any trouble with their Hemi & they had it long term. 18 months & 20,000 miles is not even broken in yet let a-lone long term.
They don't have the resources, budget or the ability to do a 3 year run like C&D used to do back in the 90s/early00s. Also you dont have the "deprecation" factor in someone like TFL. Even at a 3 year lease, youre not going to get much for a press tested vehicle with 30-50k miles. Motortrend had two pre-pro tester that Roadkill ended up with aka The General Maintenance and the other had the Hellcat yanked for General Mayhem when they did that whole Dodge sponsored race vs Gas Monkey.
Yes and no, if you watched the way they abused the TRX, it took a beating. Maybe it should be called torture instead of long term but at any rate, it was impressive.
@@coachvonyo Very true, they did abuse the crap out of that truck, & it took it.
Nope....stop saying longterm
Roman made me hate the trx...by constantly acting like a tard
I never said we had any problems with the Hemi. It was trouble-free.
I am not surprised and was totally expecting them to discontinue the TRX. Just looking at the direction that the company was going.
The Hell kitty engine is gone, so say goodbye to ALL vehicles powered by it !!
Yeah everyone's getting rid of larger V8's because according to the Government they only have about 11 1/2 years left to sell any ICE vehicle. They're all going electric or something with good fuel economy.
@@demarkusthompson2867 Yeah I mean a lot of vehicles still have v8's but they're generally smaller or made more fuel efficient. The Hellcats were just large gas guzzlers which is cool but they're not going to meet future EPA requirements so there's no reason to keep dumping money into producing those engines still.
Stellantis saw that Ford was selling Raptor Rs at that price so they decided to make a couple “special editions” and ask a crazy price for it.
Think it was a Ford Dealer in Wisconsin that had $100k over on a Raptor R. stickered for $110k, asking $210k? 🤣
@@NXT_LVL Bismarck ND dealer has one for $50k over. And they already sold one. Not sure if it was marked way over or not though.
It’s a shame the companies aren’t following what consumers are wanting like they used to. Not many people are wanting smaller engines or electric.
How do you know? Is that what sales statistics show?
Most sales reports seem to suggest they do want some form of electrification and you can look within the same Stellantis company at the Wrangler 4xe sales data for that versus other wrangler numbers. What I'd agree with you on is that every company has outliers. There are folks who want big V8's and whatever else, but are those people the bulk of the buyers? They're never going to prioritize the smaller portion of the population of buyers and even if they start out that way, they may adjust later.
@@iamdaviddoliver In my area people actively stay away from smaller engines and any form of electrification. Just talking from my experiences. In our rural areas people even stay away from vehicles that have more tech in them but that’s not me personally. It’s very surprising how many people you can ask what they want and they’ll say a classic vehicle (no tech or computers) and just modern parts. People want stuff they can work on and keep for 20 years.
@@GhillieGames I hear you on that and I’ve heard similar feedback from a number of rural communities. Unfortunately that’s not the benchmark and these manufacturers are simply looking out for their bottom lines.
I do believe manufacturers need to find a middle ground maybe. People are right in feeling like newer tech based vehicles are harder to work on and the simplicity of an older vehicle they can keep running forever is alluring. I don’t know how they’ll do that. We’ll see.
Not directing this at you but the ones to blame are the voters. They continue to vote for people that want to totally control our lives. The company will only do what the government will allow them to do. They (big government) have been bleeding Stellantis with hundreds of millions of dollars in credits based on how many vehicles had a hemi. Vote conservative. Conservatives are for the pursuit of happiness.
@@iamdaviddoliver you're a fool if you believe that consumers and the company actually want these changes. Dodge has even said themselves that it's being forced upon them. United states crazy "green" laws are making these cars no longer possible
Great info fellas, much appreciated. I'm in line for the Raptor R, and thinking before my order is filled, Ford will probably have the V8 gone as well. Bummer to see, so it looks like I'll be keeping my Gen 1 6.2L.
These car companies are literally testing us cause almost double what it initially was in 2 years?!?! From $72k to $120k 🥴
They're selling though. Can't blame manufacturers if people are willing to empty their wallet.
@@TheCapn23 fair but sheesh
@@dominicanheat2790 ya it's crazy, I couldn't imagine blowing $120k on a truck
Don't you love the markets these days? Literally Everything you want to buy is insanely expensive. Like how often now do you look at the price of food and you just nah because it seems over priced.
Since when has Chrysler ever made a good decision? 😂
1970 was the last time
EXACTLY!!!👏🏻
a lot of people saying markups had a lot to do with it. when they say they're going all electric, when it's said the "regular" rams wont have a v8 in 2025, when 2023 is the last of the v8 in the challenger and charger (who knows in the distant future) this should not be a surprise to anybody
Hey guys
Thanks for your great information about the TRX 1500 702 Horsepower.
I am supposed to get a Diamond Black Pearl And Year 2024 by Christmas.
Been watching your videos for long time
And since 2021 been looking to buy a TRX 1500 and finally got it
And on August 23th I ordered one
But in Australia 🇦🇺 you have to wait at least 4 months to get delivered
So I just can’t wait to drive it
Wait, I thought you were going to talk about the Raptor R at the end of the video?😊
When the 2021s came out and it’s was like 75 for the base model, still expensive but fair enough, people can afford that. Now you can’t find one under 90k
Can't blame RAM if they're being bought at $100k. People are crazy.
Try 100k
@@TheCapn23 I didn't want a base model, and got a new fully loaded 2023 for 95k, despite it's msrp being 106k. Most new TRX owners ordered theirs (like me) when dealers were offering 11k off msrp. The people that snoozed on ordering one are going to pay ADM just because that's the game. Still cheaper, and way more aftermarket potential than the Raptor R though
@@Matt-tt4cu Buddy of mine got one early too. These $110k+ ones are still going to sell, the market is just that crazy. With the workers strike looming prices are going to stay high for the foreseeable future.
@@TheCapn23 yep, they will absolutely sell every single one, and the demand will be insane for years to come. It’s an amazing machine
Let's be honest, the TRX was a wealth flex
So are most things in our society
I have a TRX , bought it for fun , nothing to do with a flex ( at least in my mind )
@@DailyDriverTRXyou have a Ferrari in your picture. You are out here flexing hard.
@@mcfero1 na, the Ferrari was one I got to drive at exotics racing in Vegas, just a car person of middle class income.
@@atodaso1668 That's true and it has been for a long time. Gotta keep up with the Joneses!
The raptor r literally killed the trx’s career in such a short amount of time 😭😂
Best soy joke of the day hands down 👍🤪
I finally made enough money to afford a TRX, bought in 2022 after watching all your videos on it repeatedly. Thanks for the awesome truck talk guys! This is definitely something special, I equate it to 426 hemis in the 60s. rip
Lol dude, this channel is why I bought my Raptor. How are you liking the TRX?
Its all a part of Stellantis strategy..they've killed the Charger/Challenger line despite its success..now TRX. My take is theyre moving to EV and moving even more FIAT based platforms into the sales lineup...RAM trucks and JEEP Wrangler will remain largely unchanged besides the Death of the niche TRX.
Ya, I don't see EV trucks being viable to the mass market with current or near future technology.
Yet I don't see Dodge having anything V8 related because they didn't jump on that bandwagon and are now dealing with the aftermath of "not selling out" aka having no CAFE or CARB credits banked. Unlike Ford, MachE you laughed at gave them the chance to have the "new" but not new Mustang and the Dark Horse along with the Raptor R.
As soon as Dodge mentioned the end of the Hemi, all their fanbois who dont understand the game you have to play to keep the EPA happy that Dodge said FU to were now saying FU to dodge.
@@TheCapn23
The Hemi is dead, in all things. Truck SUV and Car. TFL already had a spy shot and video of the 2025 RAM with the inline-6 Hurricane. Jeep is in dire straights anyways so good luck. The Wagoneer had the 392 and was first to get the Hurricane swap mid-year.
Stella this seems like they are falling apart financially
Well they never did actually redesign the Challenger and the Charger so...🤷🏻♂️
Oh, I was expecting it--I was VERY expecting it. They (Stellantis) are definitely out of the Hellcat/V8 HEMI business, and this would have to go, along with the Chargers/Challengers/300C HEMI offerings, if they want to make a clean break.
So when I start my 2023 TRX
The infotainment screen first flashes SRT, so is it still a Hellcat engine?
Typical Stellantis, kill anything fun and make everything the useless electric.
How many did they sell and how much did the Dealer "market adjust" the price so as to kill sales? Thanks greedy dealers. Doing away with the sales and finance department at a car dealer would be the best thing ever.
2022 TRX started at 84k MSRP before destination and any goodies. Even without markup that's a price tag that's not exactly going to lead to record sales numbers.
Hellcat Motor Production was heavily ended from the EPA Fines issues for the motor. At least that is what it seems to be, also what is driving up the cost each year so significantly apparently as well as insane inflation we are saying with every other car MFG
Would love if you guys could get some info from your contacts at Stellantis about manual Jeep Wranglers. I've had my 24 order in for eight weeks and it's still at confirmed and it doesn't seem like any manual orders have moved past that status.
Are we able to order the 2024 TRX or will it be like the others special edition they come the way they are built. If we are able to order them what is that date?
How much of this is EPA driven?
Not much otherwise the raptor R wouldn't exist
How can I get up-to-date info on ram pick ups? I am a current owner of a 2019 Laramie and truly love the Rams and would just like to stay on up-to-the-minute news about their pick ups.
The TRX will likely be the same but a uprated (compared to the HO version) Hurricane engine with hybrid performance assist. The HC engine ending has been on the cards for a long time, heck so has the basic Hemi 5.7L. Ford's Raptor has been very successful with a V6 turbo for a long time, why can't RAM do the same with the I6 turbo engine?
Exactly
The TRX probably will be getting that "hurricane" engine or some variation of it. It may even have more power combined with a hybrid assist. The problem is someone like me won't care if it sounds like a minivan. Six cylinder turbos are also not very fuel efficient in real world usage. Their complexity and potentially expensive repairs mean it would likely end up in a junkyard sooner than a V8 truck. One thing I know for sure is the EPA doesn't care what I think!
Hm well to be honest it makes since on paper but don't know if it will transfer to reality. Dodge has made a customer base largely made up of a certain type of person. People who may like "old school" or "big engines with lots of noise" and they won't carry over to the new line up. Others won't be really enticed to move to dodge because they are going into a new competitive section. I think dodge will kind of end up like Harley Davidson did.
Ford had the right idea when selling their Ford GT…have buyers sign a contract to not sell it for two years…along with that thought…should’ve had pre-orders with non-refundable deposits to eliminate the dreamers and allowed direct ordering…they would have sold 2-3X as many by bypassing dealers. All specialty cars and trucks needed to be ordered directly from the manufacturer to eliminate all of the gouging that has become so commonplace….dealers could still sell bread and butter models etc. Manufacturers have shot themselves in the foot repeatedly over this situation. They sure as hell won’t be any gouging on electric vehicles when they try to become mainstream….hope those greedy dealers end up with lots filled with dust collectors!
You do know it’s illegal to sell directly to customers in most states and violates their franchise agreements.
I have a feeling they are retiring the supercharged v8 powerplant powered TRX and not the trim itself. I think they're going to work with a turbo'd v6 like the raptor and bring it back with the next gen truck probably. Similar to what they did to the durango and the charger/challenger being replaced with that EV Daytona
A feeling? It literally said that on the video 🙄🤦🏻♂️
Likely the government, and there cafe standards. 😢 they are tired of paying millions and millions in fines.
Tough to see FCA as a whole, which was a primary driving force in the industry for performance totally neutered itself. You can advance greener cars and chew gum at the same time (see Ford). Hopefully their strategy is better than it appears as it looks bad for performance customers and will end badly for them.
Ford is headed for bankruptcy.
😂
@@bwmclaurin 😆
It'd be still worth it if it were back in the 70-80k range...but all the dealers in my area are charging 90-100k for them which is insane.

@@Matt-tt4cu Because when I ordered it, the MSRP is $92k, price increased after that and window sticker shows 95k. I got 9k off
Instead of going after the dealer markup scam - they punish the customer. Brilliant strategy Ram. Any other genius ideas - like a TRX - EV?
True
That IS what's going to happen. I mean just look at the new EV Challenger with it's artificial sound 😂😂😂
Realize they can't keep up with a Raptor lol
Anyone know if RAM is keeping the 5.7 for the half ton? Google is mix news
Once the market turns, there won’t be a large enough market for 2 super trucks. Before all hell broke loose mid to late 2019 with the chip shortage, Raptors sat on dealer lots with $10,000 + discounts. I’m sure there will be another TRX, but it will be better integrated into the production line such that they can adjust to the ups & downs in demand. Maybe lest bespoke, not unlike the Raptors.
Who knows for sure, but, for now, Ford will have sole possession of that market again.
I wish there was still that 10k discount when I bought my Raptor this year. I remember when I was just looking around and noticed that. I didn't pay over, but I wish I paid under.
Tundra, Titan and Rams were my favorite. Sad to see them go
That is sooo ridiculous omg. Nothing new with that astonishing MSRP that not including Dealer mark up. *** Also they are leaks ( with vin ) that HO inline is in the next TRX
Thank you Ford for keeping the gas trucks and cars we love alive!
Same with GM.
Meanwhile ford can't make enough raptors.
I’m so glad that I ordered my ‘22 trx and have the privilege of driving one. It’s by far my favorite vehicle I’ve had
Just bought my 2023 Raptor, and I love it. I was considering the TRX, but I went with the Raptor. How do you like the TRX?
Perhaps Stellantis is not making a good profit off this vehicle. Moreover; it's a special edition and that usually means limited build quantity or length of model run. It was fun.
Good video. Not surprised just because the 6.2 is going away.
The "Straight 6" is only a 3-liter (180 cubic inches) engine, with twin turbos. The ratings (per advanced info) is 400 hp standard and 500 hp optional. It will have virtually no torque or horsepower at low rpms, and all the power will only be at the top end. So we'll have to buzz the crap out of the engine to get any power, which does nothing at all for the normal operating range of the engine. In my opinion the engine is as a result of some Vice President in charge of something at Chrysler who said, "make this work." Well, you can make anything work with enough boost pressure, but on the street, when sitting at a stop light, and the light turns green and the driver hits the throttle, what will happen is the vehicle will do a nose dive from a depressed throttle and no rpms and consequently no boost. Further, the info so far is that the engine will have CAST crank and pistons, combined with 20 pounds boost from the turbo, once the engine gets into its revs. My prediction is that the presence of CAST crank and pistons, combined with 20 pounds of turbo boost, will result in gobs and scads of blown engines and consequent warranty claims. Aside from installation in pickup trucks, the engine is slated for initial installation in the Grand Wagoneer and Grand Cherokee. Its what happens when you put bean counters in charge, rather than car guys that know what they're doing.
And just like that, dealers will not add a market adjustment on top of a market adjustment due to limited production....
so they are basically going to build a Raptor competitor and make a Rebel TRX version instead of a Raptor R? I wish they had done that years ago.
So glad I got my ‘22 when I did.
In Canada you can expect the 2024 TRX to be above $150k+. Then tack on the 10% Federal Liberal Luxury tax, and the GST. 2023 you can look at prices well over $130k+ used, I seen prices $150k+ new on lots.
Man I really like these tracks I’m so excited about the limited edition but too expensive
So after seeing this whole video my takeaway is that my fully loaded 2023 TRX i purchased for under $90k including the new digital dash was an incredible deal! 👍💪🤙✌️🤟✊️
Nice man! 🤙🏼🤙🏼 I would love the heads-up display in my Raptor, but the 2024 wasn't my taste, so I got the 2023.
The idea that we’ve heard rumors of, simply rumors… Is that Dodge and Ram will be re-emerging again to form a more streamlined service. Dodge/Ram will be offering in-line engines across the board with turbo charging and hybrid offerings. The big news will be centered around the Ram-Cummins relationship and a new transmission option.
this was not a surprise as for those who dont know....which is like everyone here apparently... the main reason why stellantis is ending production of the hellcats and the hemi in general is they are losing hundreds of millions of $$$ due to fines in (especially in europe) for not having a high enough fuel economy and emissions standards. every auto manufacturer has to meet a certain epa/mpg goal across its entire line up of brands. for instant ford and gm make enough ''clean'' cars to offset everything with giant v8's where as dodge doesnt and hasnt for many years. so just be glad you got them as long as you did as stellantis could of killed them off years ago.
No surprise if you think about. I know people think they need these "unicorn" trucks to keep people interested, but what do you think the sales on this actually are? Probably not much in the grand scheme of things, especially right now when the consumer kickback on $100k trucks is so vocal. Factor in that Ram sales on the whole are down and they probably can't afford to keep making this thing.
If they would do the twin v6 with a hybrid this would be solid! Good power and efficiency in a large truck!
And contradicting themselves by pointing fingers at Ford's twin turbo V6.
What's next? Also aluminum body?
Yeah this whole pointing fingers thing at another manufacturer when they are probably going to do it themselves is lame.@@oscara.9265

When the UAW goes on strike later this month it will severely impact how many more of these trucks are going to end up being built. That is shaping up to be brutal and extended.
TRX had these cute little easter eggs aimed at the Raptor. They were very proud of that truck. Now discontinued, Lmao
It is sad however I can’t say I’m not surprised. The Hellcat motor is being discontinued, it’s gotten ridiculously expensive to buy and probably more so for Dodge to build.
I'm sure it'll make a come back. The Demon came back.
Is it possible, since the titan is also gone in 2024, that ram and Nissan are working on anothe4 collaboration?
It sucks but it makes my 22 worth even more after this year!
OMG who could’ve seen this coming? It’s not like Stellantis just axed every other Hellcat powered vehicle with the other Hemis not far behind. This isn’t exactly a surprise.
Dodge/RAM TRX trucks were around before 2020. In 2005 or 06 they had TRX models,even the Dakota has a TRX model.
I bought a trx, it’s my first ram product. I’ve owned so many Silverados and F series trucks, I seriously love my trx. I heard before the final trx year was going to be 2026, and I wanted to get another one in 2026 before they were gone for good. But it looks like this is it. The trx interior and off road capabilities are cool, but let’s be honest, the only reason to buy this truck is the hellcat. Without the hellcat, it just a truck that can’t do truck things.
Like for the video, hate the news though.
Its a shame I could never get one at msrp. Stealerships ruined it for everyone
Yeah they killing the V-8 in the Jeep to. The V-8 is dead thanks to the Government. They told my uncle that is a truck driver he drives the older trucks 18 wheelers diesel trucks because he doesn’t like all that technology that’s in the new one the death and computer log that keeps your history what’s going on.
They told him he’s got five years to buy him a newer model truck or they going find him every truck he has. So he says I got five will retire in five years.
😂 "get them while you can."😂 Who can afford a truck these days? How many will sell at these prices?
I'm looking for a new truck, but don't want to spend $50 - $60K on a 1/2 ton, so I'm looking at a mid-size to stay under $50K...
Nathan how can you say that the RAM TRX beat the the at it's own game when the Raptor created the game in the first place and also we are talking about a V8 vs a V6 and it seems like the TRX became pretty quiet when the Raptor R came along
“Toyotas has already proven that you can do a high performance hybrid” you clearly meant Ford has proven that with Toyota following as always.
Other 60-100k trucks are next!
My guess? Hybrid Hurricane. Not my kind of whiskey, but I’m sure it will be someone’s cup of tea.
Went in to look at the lunar edition trx here in canada. $165000 canadian dollars. I may as well go buy a c8 z06
To my knowledge, the TRX never beat the EcoBoost Raptor on an off-road race course.
Good news for me I live in a place where a lot of these stupid trucks exist and the idiots that drive them like a-holes on the highway.
Once you passed over 80000 for the Trx just left me completely out! More important things to keep… home, services and my economy highlander and a dodge grand caravan. Sign of the times.
I really hope this doesn’t mean Ford will discontinue the Raptor R. It’s a perfect scenario because they don’t have the competition anymore.
I doubt they will
Remember that ford and GM are the only ones with v8s still
Ford will probably keep the raptor R so that its the only super truck left
@@doctorcropse2795 But, they don’t have as much incentive to do so. Same with the Mustang. The two big rivals are gone.
Nope! Just think about it for a second.
The ONLY V8 super truck in the game 😉
@@oscara.9265I'm pretty sure the TRX is the reason why Ford came out with a V8 raptor 😂 where was the V8 in the previous raptors for the last 10 years Ford raptor owners were begging for a V8 stop praising a company that screwed over their customers for the last 10 years 😂 Ram gave what their customers wanted Ford Didn't until the TRX came out
@@dor1tomcswagger69 you do realize that even the V6 Raptor beats the TRX? On the dirt. Where was meant to be.
Not in a 1/8 mile paved road
Ford was smart to keep their fleet emissions down to be able to still sell the Mustang amd the Raptor.
So a 2023 TRX a collector's item now
They're probably turning TRX into a EV. I'd like to see a Hybrid, but it seems they would've just added a hybrid as an option to the already existing truck.
They are going the route of some sort of twin turbo v6 hybrid situation…similar to Toyota and ford. Trx is beautiful but at 8mpg it’s just not practical at all.
Because they want to keep their prices insane. And since buyers are not pushing back, this will continue to succeed.
Dealers: *markups go brrr*
Chrysler is digging their own grave
True
Ever since their inception
Why did you guys get rid of it?! We all knew these will climb in value like the raptor. Except these were always meant to be a low production “collector” truck
