i mean that was pretty light use compared to what that truck could have handled lmao

[@T80990]

He must be getting his groceries from the ‘grandpa’ era where they had to cross similar stuff to get to school.

[@Valdemar-Perez-III]

That truck is made for speed and off-road anyway.

[@UltimateLizard331]

The fact the TRX beat a Velociraptor during that drag race is crazy, it’s beast from the factory

[@R_Tower]

Unfortunately for the TRX, HP does not equal, off-road capability. (Especially when you’re 6,600lbs+)

[@tfsprint100]

@ultimatelizard331, that’s the old V8 (2014 ish) velociraptor: “0-60 mph times of 7.5 seconds. Bumping power to 600 bhp with the VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged upgrade will drop the 0-60 mph time to 5.9 seconds.” The newer version is and much lighter: 600 bhp @ 6,000 rpm 622 lb-ft torque @ 4,000 rpm PERFORMANCE: 0 - 60 mph: 4.2 sec. 1/4 mile: 12.9 sec. @ 110 mph

Looks like so much fun. Ram nailed it with the TRX. It's everything the Raptor should have been with a V8 and all.

I like the trx better than the Raptor but I'll tell ya when ford does bring out their supercharged v8 it's gonna be a out and out war between the two of them

I told him I’m a Dodge guy and he told me “you can check the interior if you want to!” So I looked in the window and then he said “you can open the door!” So I did and he let me have a look inside!

The price isn’t terrible either. Just trying to find a place to park it in town. Oh and that fuel economy ain’t no joke. 🤤

Hi. Nice video. I have a trx also and have a question. When I am in drive or reverse I hear a tick or click at random times when in slow speed motion. This is after I put the truck in drive or reverse. I start to move from a stop and it does a loud “click” or “tick”. Sounds like from the transfer case. Dealer says this is normal. Does yours do it?

Okay topher, you are scaring me. I am a big fan especially with your testing and reviews on most current Mopar products. The problem is when you make blanket statements like the TRX is not a rock crawler. Did you not see the off road press launch (or whatever it is called) where the TRX pretty much crushed the rocks underneath much less crawl over then without breaking s sweat. Trust in the TRX, it will through and over just about anything. Thanks for the reviews.

[@TheTopher]

Oh of course it can rock crawl! My point was it just won’t fit through any of the trails
