Good thing you can write off the gas as a business expense

[@backwoodstherapy]

12.2 mpg in a shot they had. Man. And that's on premium, too. I guess if you can pay $80k for a truck you won't care but still.

[@NotYoCheese714]

Not the gas but the miles

[@dcl97]

While I generally agree with that sentiment I traded mine in because it was just getting ridiculous. The last couple months I was at over $1000/m just in fuel. I've had other gas guzzlers before, but the TRX is on another level. Plus side I sold it for more than I paid.

[@Zbecker13]

It gets the same mileage as the previous generation Tundra and tons of other trucks. I am getting 11.3 and I only drive around town.

[@NotYoCheese714]

Sounds like y’all need a Tesla or Prius.

[@gp.5989]

An end of an Era. Definitely a future classic, I'd keep it if I were you. Loved all the TRX vids.

[@ubeuonly]

The fact is it was virtually bulletproof in a first-year truck and it was early production. I'm an advisor at a dealer and I can tell you we don't have that luxury.. and don't kid yourself a raptor is a lot slower and a lot less livable and has a lot less presence and shock value and cost the same. Don't let the 77k scare you most raptors are in the same range of price.. and the bonus is your truck doesn't have to sound like your wife's Taurus station wagon

[@0223Jeremy]

Sounds like you’re loyal to your employer lol

[@slow8r]

Sad to see you guys selling this. I watched all your TRX content before I purchased my own and it greatly helped me make my decision. Cheers to the TRX that inspired mine! Hope it goes to a good home.

Ha ha ha 9mpg that's costs probably $12/gal for premium fuel that's gotta be rough 😁

Sad day, but was so glad to see all the great things you guys did with the truck. Almost brings tears to my eyes seeing the old video clips though. Hope the next owner enjoys it just as much.

[@johnnicpon5783]

A real shame that TFL is getting rid of the TRX. How about one last blast? The TRX needs to tackle Tumbleweed! Let see how it eats up that crazy course you guys made.

[@machine1758]

You shouldn't get rid of it, love that truck, the channel won't be quite the same.

[@dalejones4322]

I hate to see it go. It has been my favorite vehicle to watch. So many cool things you've done with it. Off road, towing, time trials, but my favorites were the drag races at the short track. Something about how quick that thing got up to speed and how you'd have to shut it down quick to keep from running off the track. So much fun to watch. As far as views, has this been one of your biggest hits? Did it exceed your expectations as far as views? Just curious. Thanks for getting it and doing so much with it.

[@lunamaria1048]

Tommy encouraged me to buy my 2019 4Runner TRD Off Road, a few years back, and you guys encouraged my husband to recently order a TRX!... I'm always looking forward to what you guys buy next! It has been quite a journey!

[@smittysmitty481]

RAM killed it with the TRX. The truck is the King for now.

[@joellepe9583]

Just bought one last week. Your reviews really played a role in my decision. Really love this truck. Wish you guys wood keep it a bit longer. This truck made me come back to the channel. Thank you guys for all the great info

[@tophower33]

How are you liking it so far?

[@GothRocker7]

No, can't sell the TRX, no it is a future classic......... well thanks for covering it and giving us excellent test videos. I will miss it. Great job guys, but there will never be another TRX.

[@jeffforbes70]

1000 hp hellaphent trx ?

[@EngineVSEngine]

Loved these videos and got my TRX that looks just like it last month. Such an awesome truck..

[@t2g994]

I see the instrument cluster took a beating I was shocked at how easily that plastic scratches on mine

[@phishphan5732]

Same with my 19 Taco. 😣

[@chirp08]

Easier to replace than repainting a fender though..

[@dewdusmaximus7692]

In fairness, I highly doubt someone buying a TRX cares about fuel efficiency.

[@backwoodstherapy]

For sure. No one is buying a 7000 lb truck with a supercharged V8 on 35s expecting decent fuel economy.

[@torkelsonstan6967]

Fr lol

[@TexasSteele67]

U guys Rock- so happy with my TRX as it's by far my favorite Pick-ups of all time

[@TaigaTurf]

This truck rocks.. Great videos showcasing it's amazing performance. May the next owner enjoy it to the fullest

[@99unclebob]

the TRX kicked ass on every level at the gas pump and the TFL Wallet, gonna miss this bad boy 👍

[@maddawgjones]

Say 56,000 is what it’s worth with the scratches the hard use on road drag racing and hard off-road use. That truck had been abused more than 99 percent of the TRX on the market

[@pauldiesel4582]

13,000 miles driven a 1/4 mile drag race at a time!

Truly amazing how many vehicles this TRX out dragged.

To be honest I believe you guys should have listed on cars and bids as they do really well

[@Skankhunt98745]

As a die hard GM guy I must say the trx was my absolute favorite truck on this channel. Wish I had the money to buy her.

[@DeepDishPizza]

I bought my TRX new in April of 2021. One year later to the day, I sold it for $40k more than I paid for it.

[@jermaineholmes3531]

Why you thinking about getting one

[@omarkhatab1020]

Thanks for all the best videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@fireant1272]

Seems like most of the miles were at the drag strip! Very impressive, ram builds great trucks.

[@aaronbehindbars]

I bet the appreciation in value more than offsets the fuel costs. Excluding the fact that such a truck is unaffordable to most, it's hard to argue it's a great value. The caveat is that this wouldn't be the case under "normal" market conditions.

[@terrencejones9817]

We really needed to see the TRX vs Raptor Vs ZR2 offroad. Missed opportunity TFL

[@GATORADDAM]

That was an honest video, I'll give you that. Basically saying..... We beat the absolute snot outta this truck and now it can be yours! Hahaha.

[@B-rad303]

Awesome truck!!! Maybe the Ram TRX guys can teach the Ram diesel engineers how to build a transmission that actually last longer then a year..

[@gungadinn]

You order the Aisin transmission with the high output Cummins. Not ideal, but it beats the in-house transmission.

[@B-rad303]

@@gungadinn agree 💯

[@jeffforbes70]

found 8 used trx used in my area best used price was 85900. found 3 new trx 2022 , best new price 77524 dollar i think they need to take the 85000 offer from the dealer if you are getting ripped off in your area , expand you search or charge you zip code look around and don't let people rip you off

[@michaelthola1709]

Man if i had the money i would buy that TRX in a heartbeat! I would have to say that it has been my favorite vehicle on the channel to date, and in my opinion the best out there right now.

[@johnsnow1355]

Why would u buy a vehicle that burns $12/gal fuel and guzzles 9mpg

[@mattlimberg5763]

Sad day, this could have been the best truck for you guys, however I think the best, or most iconic to me was your 1st gen Raptor. You put a winch on it, you featured it as the camera vehicle in almost every video, certainly Ike's and compared everything off road to it. It helps that you had that truck for about 3-4 years. So for fans that have been following you that long, it has to be that Raptor, but the TRX could have been if you kept it longer, added a winch, did even .ore crazy stuff with it.

[@frontier_etc]

"first in the world". They don't sell this outside of North America, guys

[@hellkitty1014]

Thank you for giving us so much content on this beast. It took the R1T to take down its speed crown, but overall, I appreciated the coverage of Ram's first major effort against the Raptor. Now start saving your pennies for the eventual TRX EV!

[@keither7731]

I think the Rivian has 850 hp & 950 ft lbs of torque, approx, it should be faster. Lets talk about towing up the Ike Gauntlet. lolo

[@hellkitty1014]

@@keither7731 LOL, right! That R1T has instant torque from 0rpm. And yes, that Ike Gaunlet was not fun in terms of range. White knuckling and worrying on range loss is not something that induces confidence in towing.

[@cameronbrand4493]

Even for a dodge product 13,000 miles is nothing. Definitely not enough to tell whether it’s reliable.

[@renaissancepoet]

Announcing that you are selling the TRX with that somber music in the background had me crying harder than when I first saw "Old Yeller" as a child.

[@JR-pb5dz]

Now with us knowing Ford is laying down and deciding not to put the sword down and beat this beast, I think Roman is going to regret trading this in. You can tell from the videos he has a deep love for this truck

Well who ever gets it. Hold on to it. Cause they won’t be around Much longer. That’s one great truck 🇺🇸👍👍

[@Malc664]

This truck was such a big hit, it stayed in the fleet longer than a year. That's a strong message right there. A sad goodbye & I wouldn't be surprised if some TFL guys shed a tear. Still have the RAM HD to play with. And the Silverado ZR2.

[@BicMichuM]

Daaamn about 12mpg...but noones getting this for gas efficiency anyways, have fun with that beast....

[@ryanskare6670]

Your reviews play a large part in my truck buying decisions. You always seem to cover the information I'm looking for.

[@erniearruda8861]

Yup you said Andre. You have to PAY 💰 to play. Fuel right now with 91 octane in southern Ontario Canada is hanging around $2.50 a litre Canadian. To fill up that toy will cost you about $240 per tank per five days🤯

Get a Raptor R as a replacement truck!

[@dannyneal9713]

Can’t believe you guys got rid of this truck before getting your hands on the Raptor R

[@PrincessTS01]

Did the TRX trounce the tumbleweed ranch course, I haven't seen it go through?

[@evilcam]

Good question, as I don't recall seeing it take on any courses at the ranch either. Let's hope before they sell it, they do take it on every ranch course it could fit down, as that would be a cool thing to see and a good note to end the TRX videos once and for all.

[@paulelliott682]

Goodbye my dear old friend. I'll miss our trips to __________________________.

[@ryzen397]

yea I don't think matching an electric vehicle against a combustion engine means anything though....... TRX is still on top imo

[@dudeman5788]

To me, the TRX is the pinnacle of trucks. It does everything well. The electric trucks cannot tow or haul heavy well. Yes, they're quick, but when the rubber hits the road they lack the fundamental needs of a full-size pickup truck owner.

[@ryzen397]

The TRX did have issues with the power train in one of their drag races which was recorded, though it seemed to resolve itself. Good thing about AWD is the differential probably won't explode like Demons/Hellcats... Probably...

How does andre pick up a coin from the ground with those nails ??? Weirds me out. 😅

Had it for a year and never took it took it to the open desert for its "designed" purpose. Would of loved to see it in the dunes. Also saying no issues always cracks me up they say it about every "long term" review. 15k miles it better not have any issues. TFL is my favorite truck review you tube channel but some of tests they do are goofy or not practical. But it does let you know all information you need to know most the time

[@johnschnorr318]

We need to see the TRX go through the Tumbleweed hard course

[@MrFordguy73]

I know you'll have to sell it in a timely fashion for business expenses, but it would be nice for you to keep it until the Raptor R shows up

[@cre8tiv_spirit295]

Based on prices I’m seeing in the Carolinas, you’ll make more on the sale than you paid new.

[@wolfcastle462]

It is still the most interesting truck on the market. I'd say you could get another year of content on it.

[@NormanLHarris]

That MPG is what I’m getting on my 2019 Laramie Longhorn

[@dommm111]

Andre, I think YOUR blue F150 is the best truck in TFLs history. Talking about trucks from TFLs fleet, it will be the Gladiator or the Chevy Trail Boss. The TRX is just a fun toy, so expensive and way too thirsty. The TFLs RAM 2500 with the Cummins is by far better and so much realistic than the TRX.

[@brandonm6052]

I wish you guys were closer to me in Eastern Nebraska, I put on 35-40K miles a year managing farms and could definitely help you get your long-term miles up with some ride alongs.

[@bavarianmoparworks8668]

Like others have said, sad to see it go. Enjoyed all the content you guys produced with it. The TRX (& the Power Wagon) are 2 of my favorite trucks out there. When (IF!) I ever get rid of my Hellcat, I'm gonna get one of those!

[@TheTechCguy]

This is an AWESOME 700+ HP beast of a truck that you can just thrash around in! Sure, it's expensive but you're putting more horsepower in a utility-based truck you can cruise turf over! I say it's a better usage of that Hemi engine than in a Hellcat Challenger or Charger, since it's the same engine but in a truck. If you're going to own one of these, you better take very good care of it....

[@romeo1550]

Overall, I was very impressed with the TRX. I didn't know how it would do against the Raptor at first but I would say it is on par for sure. Speed, it wins but I still think the Raptor is slightly better off road. Will miss the TRX content but looking forward to the next great trucks!

[@dansteiner9393]

Agreed, but not better in any area to justify nearly double the price!

[@glennlacewell5766]

If you can pay $77 plus grand for a truck it should not be a big deal to pay 6 dollars a gallon for gas !

[@Furious321]

It's just annoying since most fuel pumps shut off once a certain dollar amount is reached; $75.00 or $100.00 usually. So for this 33-gallon tank, filling just half of it with Premium will hit that limit (@ >$5 per gallon). Not a deal-breaker but it's like a hassle/penalty for just driving the thing.

How about the Trail Boss? I remember when you were selling that you said it never needed one thing done to it other than oil changes in the year you had it. No, it is not the fun factor of a TRX.......but it is certainly a contender for the everyday driver who can't afford the purchase price or the gas for a TRX.

[@leonardrice2830]

The efficiency is actually good but the mileage is bad. When you look at what the truck can do given its weight, 10-11 miles per gallon is very good. Many trucks get that mileage and cannot do half of what the TRX can do.🤔

Not really realistic to have them keep it for 10 years. Also the miles they put on the truck aren't really easy miles. Towing, off-roading, and drag racing it constantly.
