Ronny is as professional as harry is at cooking and not forgetting things 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey lads love the show. Worth noting that I recon the TRX isn't the Ram 1500 you are buying if you want to tour as the TRX is the fun/crazy/super expensive Ram. Surely you'd want a standard 1500 (smaller NA petrol v8 with much better fuel economy) or the 2500 with the cummins diesel. Much love from your Pilbara Corespondant.

[@BackChat]

Good point, but we couldn't not include the TRX purely for that fun aspect 🤣🤣

[@aljeeper3292]

​@@BackChatCouldn't understand you didn't include the top spect RAM2500 because it's insanely good.

[@John-uu4ry]

@@BackChat It would be insane fun for sure haha

[@danielbarrett7762]

Pricing is all plus on roads. And the white roof is on the altitude model and the heritage models in us

[@rossi0nsx]

From my understanding the silverado is the same car but can be either registered as a nb1 or nb2 category (nb2 being a mr license) as far as i know both the ram 2500 and f250 are a max gvm of 4495 gvm. 3500 and f350 are basically the same car but higher gvm.

[@pantoqwerty]

Problem with the Prado, like most 4WDs, is that they’re majority mall crawler so prices go up and up and they become more like Land Rovers. It sed to be the affordable 4WD of the range. Now, not so much.

[@Mr83rt]

Oh yes please... Been loving the ineos reviews but this is something I've been keen on anybody to do... With the cost, licensing issues and the gvm/gcm why would you not be in the market for an offroad truck like the fuso 4x4 starting at $92k for a dual cab and the isuzu nps 300 dual cab starting at $150k Thanks for a great show boys 👏👏

[@BackChat]

Glad you enjoyed it mate! 💪🏼

[@travisbarty7170]

Love the show! Quick question based on a comment Ronny made about his spotlights on the new 76. I have just purchased the same BZRX215s for my new 76 2.8, which I am absolutely loving. Can you let me know what the adapter is I need to fit these lights when using the supplied harness? Thanks!

[@BackChat]

Will ask the big man!

[@tomspooner9062]

So I have a Silverado 1500. It’s actually pretty good on fuel, not that heavy and can tow like a boss. It’s not a hardcore 4wd but it will surprise you what it can do. I don’t understand the diesel fixation as the new petrols are impressive.

Elite!

[@RoamingRooma]

Good work boys. Now the biggest question (as an overlander) Would you buy 76 2.8L GXL ( $88K) or LC250 altitude ($100+K) In regards to American shits I have noticed lot more American trucks towing big caravans in the outback on my last trip. Used to be all Landcruisers. I will newer buy American shits and in my opinion they are not suits to Aussie roads and Australian parking slots are 2600mmX 5400mm long with aisle are only 6600mm in width Thanks keep it up

[@BackChat]

That's a great question 🤣 I think the 76 2.8L would have to be it

[@axe2001]

You don't buy an american truck to daily. You buy it to tow or travel rural where parking isn't an issue

[@Makingoodtimes]

Just replaced my GU Patrol for a 1500 Ram and get 19 towing 2.5t and average 2ltr better than our Patrol around town. Glow sticks/sparklers for kids, beach bucket and toys for bush and beach

the prado 250 doesn't actually have a split tailgate despite the looks

[@BackChat]

What kind is it?

we were deceived...

[@cyclemoto8744]

C/mon guys, time to start showing visuals of what you're referring to. This has been going on for way too long. Other channels are able to do so, so I'm unclear on why you're not taking whatever measures are required to show the content. Other than that I appreciate your content, but for bloody sake show us what you're talking about! cheers

[@BackChat]

Were the images on the TV in background not good enough? Didn't throw images in because we thought that would be good... easy fix

[@cyclemoto8744]

@@BackChat Have never noticed images in the background. Cheers

[@BackChat]

good feedback, would your preference would be overlayed images over the background images then?

[@cyclemoto8744]

@@BackChat This is my personal preference of course and others my have other opinions Considering this is a chat based segment why not just show the visuals of the vehicle or product when you introduce them and then switch back to the talk panel. Cheers

[@rickhendy1358]

Yeah I think you guys missed the point of question by going to the extreme ends of the American vehicles.

[@BackChat]

Fred was happy 😂😂

[@seanchristie7150]

Fantastic episode, Ronny showing his age talking about a C class licence. American trucks have the wider stance n are no good for Australian tracks as they will tear up the tracks n cause closures. Other than that they are pricey n have shit fuel economy

[@craigpeacock5352]

G'day boys. Hate to say but you are comparing apples and oranges. First of all you need to either compare 1500s or 2500s. The TRX is the performance version of the 1500 and shouldn't be compared with the others. Your comparisons should be like the RAM 1500 range, silverado 1500 range and the Ford f150 range. Obviously would also depend on trim spec. You're comparing a TRX to a chev 2500 to a F150. All different.

[@BackChat]

good feedback, appreciate it thanks mate!
