RAM TRX Final Edition (inc. 0-100 & braking) review: The most frustrating speed limiter!!

[@rivertubb1704]

Can we all just take the time to appreciate the V8 engine in this thing. Masterpiece.

[@luizzanni3614]

Make V8 Great Again

[@MBC1988.]

Best engine ever made 🔥🔥🔥

[@lukehedstrom8009]

also the song Paul was listen too, rollin by limp bizkit, very appropriate in something like that TRX

[@ednis32]

Why can't they make a detuned V8 or I6 if they really cared for emissions lmao. Who needs 1000hp on a Sunday drive. WE WANT THE GLORIOUS NOISE!

[@dw2176]

thanks for not talking during the performance test, what a great sound

[@martintalavou3493]

Just bought one and absolutely love it. Don't wanna drive anything else. Just a beast of a car!

[@howardwest7032]

Absolutely love the Ram TRX. Of all the full size American trucks/utes this one my favourite. A lot of money and pass my pay grade but I’m sure it would bring plenty of smiles.

[@JohnAgustinScuderia458595]

When this RAM TRX has somewhat a faster 0-100 than a Lotus Emira Turbo! Let that sink in!

[@MxODraconis]

Thanks for the no talk track run, that supercharger whine is sweet-as in the cabin.

[@DavidAshton]

I own the XR8 FGX supercharged V8 and these supercharged engines just sound awesome ALL the time. Would buy one of these in a heartbeat but don't need one. Definite collectors item.

[@craigpeacock5352]

YES! ❤ I wish I could afford one. You simply can't help but smile when you hear that engine.

[@duanehines467]

20:00 - Literally the best 2 minutes any jerno can do. Yes i want a review, yes i want to know it sounds great BUT bugger me if i dont want to NOT hear you speak for a couple of minutes and LISTEN to how majestic that super charged V8 sounds. And Kudos, you captured the sound magnificently

[@Lewythefly]

Does sound tuff with that super charge whining away

[@BNEPLANESPOTTING_]

last week a mahindra, next week a trx 😂

[@kickstand801]

the sound of the supercharged V8. so glorious!!

[@YZJB]

It’s limited to 160km/h because its tyres have a ‘Q’ speed rating. Which is 160km/h. The speed limiter is not a “nanny state” thing, it’s to protect the tyres.

[@rich7447]

That's pretty common in US pickups. I'm speed limited to 81 mph/130 kph because of the N speed rating (87 mph) of the tires. Anything much over 70 mph feels like a space shuttle launch anyway.

[@rivertubb1704]

7:30 Of course Paul was playing Rollin’ while driving this thing 😂

[@LinkBuckley]

That lap of only the car noise was the best bit of video I've seen for ages. Great review!

[@jackh4787]

Love the philosophy Paul, buy what you want and the keyboard warriors need to mind their own business,. The hate these trucks get is ridiculous.

[@CarExpertAus]

As we discovered last week - the vocal minority don't represent everybody!

[@KBWarrioR2018]

Someone summon me sorry?

[@YamaOma_Kunda]

The only hate I have for these trucks is, I can't afford them. Otherwise I love them..... A big presence on the road

[@tim9241]

@@CarExpertAuslove the trucks, but they just don’t fit Aussie car parks to make sense here sadly - always see people taking 2 (or even 4)!

[@lammybowers4800]

The issue with the "buy what you want, haters be damned" philosophy is that I have to share the road with those killing machines

[@michaelzerk]

Anyone who can afford this is unlikely to be concerned about economy or cost of fuel …

[@jarrod1687]

Exactly

[@RichardPettit-r6p]

If I had the cash I’d buy one. What a machine! V8 muscle

[@VihaanRanhchi]

I'm favoured, $22K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.

[@EdwinJoseph-xq9yp]

As a beginner what do I need to do? How can I invest, on which platform? If you know any please share.

[@MuhamedDave]

Investing in crypto/forex is a good idea, a good trading system would put you through many days of success.

[@MuhammadShiff]

Investing $15,000 and received $174,000

[@JoswineEsther]

Same, I met Mrs Anna Davis last year for the first time at a conference in Manchester, after then my family changed for good. God bless Mrs Anna

[@SriWiyanti-j2b]

YES!!! That's exactly her name (Mrs Anna ) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from United States

[@hi9580]

The tyres max out at 160km/h (tyre speed Q).

[@CarExpertAus]

It’s speed limited to 118mph in the US, which is about 30km/h than what we get. From what I can tell they get the same tyres we do.

[@CarExpertAus]

🤯 they actually have a T speed rating on their final edition. How strange that they change the tyre for our market.

[@ILostMyKeys]

30 seconds in and I'm done. Thanks for the review Paul that's all I need to know

[@jesseobrien9006]

Love the fact that you had been listening to limp

[@craigpeacock5352]

I've never seen you smile so much. 😂 I'm sure a good tune would get rid of that speed limiter.

[@YZJB]

And cause a tyre blowout. The limiter is there as the tyres have a speed rating of 160km/h.

[@Rabsallawah]

@@YZJBc then and swap tyres… and brakes 😂 Simple solution.

[@bondmcnugget]

I saw one one these at the traffic lights may be on 35s next to a Nissan Patrol the other day, this thing is huuuuuuuuge 😃 it's absolutely awesome!!!! Loveit!

[@MADMAX353]

Got my 2024 Final Edition last April this year....upgraded from a 2017 Toyota TRD Pro which I loved but there is no comparison to the TRX. It's my daily driver because it is the only vehicle I own and I love it and make excuses every day just to drive it. Gas mileage is about the same as my TRD so no surprises there. Way more comfortable but a hell of a lot quicker. Sound system is amazing but I love hearing that supercharger wind up. Winter's coming on so I will see how the OEM tires are in the snow and rain but will probably change them to the Toyo Open Country which I used on my TRD and they really worked great in extreme winter conditions here in NY. The only mod I am thinking of doing down the line is swapping out the exhaust for the Corsa Xtreme. Btw I was born in Adelaide and my name is Frank Maric also.

[@Classic-nl4db]

That's a V8 Motor ❤ great review, mate 👍

[@rebekahm4919]

Paul would buy one in a heart beat . If had money for it . Great amazing truck . That engine that superchargered noise . Amazing . . Have to just stick to standard ram 5.7 hemi now . Thanks for great video . That smile paul you couldnt get rid of it driving that compaired too your raptor ha ha ha you know im right 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@StuWNZ]

You'd think for 1/4 mill you wouldn't have to go straight to the brake shop! Awesome truck love.

[@andrewgorrie8410]

Couldn’t wipe the smile off your face Paul. Buy one 😂

[@boblekewl]

Is that being tested at Lang Lang? Loved the no talking lap. Music to the ears!!!!

[@CarExpertAus]

Don’t tell anyone, it’s a secret location 🤫

[@SonicMrSumo]

what an appropriate song choice for this vehicle!

[@friskylum]

Quarter of a million dollars for a ute is ridiculous

[@ReapZ1373]

You don’t buy something like this as a work Ute. It’s like buying a supercar for a daily driver for a family run around.

[@dvtofk9908]

This is a Baja truck you can rally in the desert, which usually go for a million, totally worth it.

[@BubblTee]

Fun fact - The TRX was actually named for 'T-Rex' as a competitor for the Raptor 😂

[@arunps7719]

you guys need to please add a hot lap of every vehicle you guys test, it really helps the real drivers who might be a little cash strapped IRL but want to see what a car can do/replicate

[@josephcullen2512]

Wow this thing looks smooth. Holy moly

[@josephcullen2512]

Wow this thing looks smooth

[@GTThomas84]

160 is the limit of the jeep v8 as well, because of the tires. I saw modified ones with street tyres and off limiter doing 275kmh

[@martinzazvonil]

Pour one out for this king! The more cars like this that are taken off our roads, the more bland and dull our roads become. An engineering marvel, and if I had $300,000 to spend on a car, I think I'd pick this over anything else.

[@Tshegofatso-q4p]

Please do a drag race a Ram TRX final edition vs Ford Ranger Raptor 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@stormvalestarabs]

Sounds like a legit racecar

[@RecordedByTex]

Fun fact: the center console very comfortably fits a family pizza between the seats 😅

[@nedguy9220]

been a chrysler fan all my life and had a few ..... this is the best 😁😀

[@yslee1401]

Paul, you drive like Tyler from Hoovies Garage when he decides to burn some rubber on the road the moment he gets a vehicle with tonnes of horsepower 🤣

[@marcoantoniocasoascanio6905]

I love V8 Hemi engines,music to my ears.

[@JoelDean-f9n]

The Ram RHO that’s out now isn’t meant to replace the TRX it’s a ford Raptor v6 fighter , there will be another TRX in the future

[@ChrisHolden-rv2fh]

Do the hot lap for all your reviews!

[@georgearvanitis6030]

Its ashame our future is going ev these v8s are so good 👍

[@Dan-re7go]

Head up display, trailer brake controllers, wide vehicle indicator lights, steering angle sensor, side mirrors all appear to be modified for ADR and RHD.

[@rosspane4542]

Absolutely the toughest truck you can buy ,if you have the money why not 👍😁

[@Alex-ss4bk]

oh my, that price, I bought a non final edition, 21 for around half that price. The hellcat and interior are really amazing.

[@siraff4461]

In the challenger that engine is just daft. The chassis is completely overwhelmed and it spins the wheels until it gets to speeds where its terrible aeros hurt it. In this though it makes a lot more sense. Its still a bit daft but at least in this you can use the power for a decent amount of time and it not try to swap ends constantly.

[@Blingbling820]

Volume knob still designed for LHD have to lean over like a Mf to reach the dial

[@Tom-lf8hx]

Brilliant song choice for the TRX aswell ahahahah

[@TheHayabusa09]

What a truck! Great review but as these things go, there will always be the haters out there..Case in point. Tradie around the corner drives one in its bright orange hue and comes out to find every panel keyed...

[@videowsatcher]

it looks like the front brakes are as big as you can fit behind the tires, so you would need to go for bigger tires to fit bigger brakes

[@terrybooker45]

I want one, just for the supercharge sound

[@Michael-y7k2k]

I wish we got the dodge chargers here in Aus, that engine set up would be crazy in a coupe

[@tanmupps5997]

heyy paul you havent reviewed the isuzu dmax blade yet

[@BumblebeeWasTaken]

7:29 Very appropriate song for a vehicle like that 😂

[@shauno7582]

I’m sure there’s a work around to turn off that speed limiter 😏

[@garysarratt1]

Not smart unless tires are swapped for higher speed rating.

[@shauno7582]

@ well der…..

[@richkhamzaev27]

Just curious, which is better buying a 2022-2024 TRX for around 80k-100k or buying a 2024 RHO and do hellcat swap on it?

[@A861967]

Yea it’s fun .. but not very safe by design. As a driver you just can’t see over the bonnet in front and or the sides, ad the weight is not the best in anything other than a straight line 😂 luckily not that many on the road.

[@jackh4787]

I love these, that supercharger whine is divine, but 250k is a bit of a stretch. You could get a 2500 for serious towing and an rs3 for way better road performance for similar all up cost.

[@jonc2037]

What a machine!

[@MBC1988.]

Fantastic vehicle, the supercharger is the icing on the cake 😋

Haha nice, limp bizkit chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavoured water. Epic album

"If I had the space at home..." Didn't you say they cost 250k!

heyy paul is they another twin cab bakkie (ute) test ,new triton,amarok, shark, etc

[@kamuikanna8678]

too bad this vehicle size is not allowed in our country..still an amazing pickup just by seeing your reaction 😂😂

[@jb243wp]

Can see anything here that's been re-manufactured from left-hand drive.. Hmmm how about the indicator stick which side of the steering wheel is it on 🤔

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

6:21 Did anyone notice the build number is the same as the HP rating? 702hp & 0702 build number.

Working on it at the moment. Another off-road test?

[@TinderTuesdays-]

theres storage under the floor mats to

[@JoshHodgman]

I know there is only 1 Paul.....But no Prado review? No BYD Shark review? But we get soo many videos of the kia ute which is the most least interesting and underwhelming ute in the class. No hate at all, Just need the trusty wisdom of Paul to suss out this automobiles!!!!

[@YZJB]

There are media embargoes on the Prado and Shark. That’s why there are pretty much no reviews of either yet.

[@CarExpertAus]

Prado embargo is on the 21st and we are trying to get a Shark to the proving ground but we haven’t been able to coax one out of the ocean yet - possibly scared of the dinosaurs we have running around here.

[@JoshHodgman]

@@CarExpertAus 🤣🤣 gotta take those shark nets down and let them in. It’s cause they know Paul no fan boi of anything (except the raptor) 😜

[@gtf0102]

Couldn''t agree more. It makes a great touring rig and goes harder than concrete. Best thing i have ever purchased

[@mathewannear1206]

Never gives the fuel tank volume…would be fantastic when given the fuel consumption…cheers…love the content….damn, first time I’ve heard the tank size…125 l

[@mulleris24]

The ADR is like the FAA in America and because of them we miss out on a lot of amazing cars. We seem to get the bottom of the barrel with a lot of things exterior and interior wise in vehicles🤪

[@garysarratt1]

EPA?

[@mulleris24]

Sorry, thanks for correcting 😅

[@danielflinn3571]

Thanks for sharing well done

[@stuartmunto4755]

Speed limiter might be due to tyre speed rating?

[@CarExpertAus]

That’s what I thought, but the tyres appear to be the same ones fitted to the US spec vehicle, which has a higher speed limiter.

[@crez1988]

great car to tailgate and high beam flash a kia picanto on the highway

[@Zeushasreturned]

Paul can you please review the ford f-150 raptor. I have seen you done the review of the ram trx, the normal and now final edition, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 zr2 and I even watched you review the 2018 or 2019 ford f-150 raptor on drive. Can you at least try to review Paul 🙏🏾 😊

[@CarExpertAus]

We don't have access to one unfortunately. The only one Ford Australia currently converts is the F-150 non Raptor.

cheeky hot dog flavoured water album haha

real test would be on beach sand that's soft, and with a 3 ton weight, i'd like to see it go, be interesting

It’s designed as a desert runner.

[@BadBoyiPhone]

yes yes yes!!! I want one

[@thatdave86]

Brakes will be limited to the wheel size (18s ) add 20s with less aggressive tyres and bigger Disc's and calipers ! Paul if you like big ,check out Murphy's Diesel Channel,he has built a giant off road wrecker named Hellboy, Cummins power etc but a Ram ! You have confidence in everything going electric?? Changes in Europe,change in the USA ,even Porsche talking of putting an ICE back into the Tycan ! Isn't there a Electric Ram with a generator engine ? The straight 6 Hurricane engine is also giving concerns ! Even the Cummins Rams are giving issues,not Rams fault,more government emissions policy and how manufacturers have to adhere to the silly rules . Cummins Engines with destroyed pistons caused by injector problems .

[@rforracemode5846]

But aren’t beadlocks illegal in Australia? 👀

[@amirhossainzadeh3951]

They’re imitation covers

[@CarExpertAus]

They’re fine for off-road use. What you see here and available on the Raptor is the dress kit. You need to fit the actual bead lock for off road driving after removing that dress kit.

[@SaifeeAB-c7x]

20:30 I am grinning ear to ear with the sound of the supercharger and the exhaust. Music to the ears

[@luke78333]

250 thousand dollars?!?! Why does it cost 100k to get this thing into the country?!

[@rich7447]

They top out at $120k here in the US. Convert that to AUD and you are at $185,000 AUD. Add conversion costs and taxes and $250k seems about right.

[@seadoomania]

What is the steering feel like after the conversion?
