Missing My F150.. Things I Hate About The TRX

Hey Mike, I’ve got a TRX with the level 2 package. I agree about some of the stuff especially the proximity key. I’m surprised you weren’t able to find a level 2 for around low to mid 90’s cause that would solve like all of your complaints. Anyway last thing I’ll say, launch control, lower the rpm to like 2100-2200 and it’ll work. If you set it higher than that it will just push through the brakes.

I just went to the "build your own" portion of the Ram Trucks site and the TRX level 2 package is $10,295, with a long list of features that are usually included on most $30K minivans. It's just stupid. They're trying to nickel and dime people on features that should already be there. It's literally as dumb as BMW trying to charge people a SUBSCRIPTION FEE to use the heated seats in their own cars. WTF is the auto market thinking? I like just about everything about the TRX (except the transmission and idiotic 1984 Ford Taurus shifter), but it's just not worth the money they're asking. It's just not. The blown HEMI is awesome...but, sorry, no. Having said that, as long as people keep paying those amounts, they'll keep elevating the prices to ever more ridiculous levels.

I love my HO 3.5 Eco in my Gen 2 Raptor. Solid fuel efficiency (by definition better than any NA engine) and better offroad performance (lighter up front and has better torque curve). There's several reasons Ford didn't go with a V8 in the newer gens, and if you offroad them you quickly see why.

Technically Mike you don't own any of them, you buy them you make a few videos and you move on to the next one. Its your income. You are living the dream Mike, good for you. Most people can't even really afford a new truck ( even if they buy one ), I'd say 90% can't afford a new raptor or TRX. It's pointless paying $1,400 a month just so you can't feel potholes and you look cool. And your getting 7 to 10mpg in town spirited driving, which is expected, not a hybrid or electric fan don't get me going. What you do have to factor the fuel cost into ownership. And if you use these trucks for what they're built for off-road, stuff will eventually break and you need to repair that, and it will cost a lot of money. You need to make well over $100,000 to actually comfortably afford either of these trucks. Cheapest LX 5.0 I was looking at was $48,000 not out the door, $4,000 down still $760 plus a month estimated, 84 months. Saw loaded xlts s for 65k and Lariat s for 69k. And theres still like three trims left to go. I think the answer for most of us is buy the cheapest good body truck of your liking and throw boost at it. You could have your cake and eat it too under 40k. Say 11' 5.0 150 with a supercharger. You gotta do the work yourself though. You might even be able to stay in the 30s

Damn, I got a 2003 Lexus which is a lot older and lot less features but mine has proximity key when I walk towards and away it locks and unlocks by itself also with the unlock button it allows me to put all the window down at once. That’s probably the nicest feature I have in such an old car. Just doesn’t have Bluetooth. Does have heated seats, and heated 2nd row seats.

Man, I love my Gen 2 Raptor! To me the TRX is not worth the money. Great video!

[@rajindraramnauth8463]

my dad had a second gen right now and i use it sometimes and it’s amazingggggg. he’s got it on the market right now tryna sell it because he wants the Raptor R 😈

[@burgerbandit3646]

@@rajindraramnauth8463 hope he doesn't get too excited until he finds one without crazy markups.

[@technicalitems731]

No surprise. Or a Dodge/Ram/ChryslerFiat product. Great stuff when new. Always a mistake after some age.

[@Derek-Barbosa]

I agree best truck on earth. Does the wrap look different in person? Wasn't feeling it but i think it's the way it looks on camera. Good for you for customizing it

[@lcoghe1991]

My 2006 infinity has what was at the time a proximity key where you push a button on the handle and it will unlock if you have the key in your pocket

[@MotorHead963]

As always great video 👌 Another downside is constant 4x4 …

[@Avg_Vet]

My 2017 Ram 1500 Sport has a proximity key. It also had backup sensors. My temperature sensor only took about 5 minutes to correct.

[@dailycruise8550]

If you look at a base raptor I’m sure it doesn’t have any of this. Your also paying for the engine too for the base price of a TRX. I understand the complaints but the overall value of the TRX is better than a Raptor especially the Raptor R coming out.

[@MS-mr4zm]

Tuned 3.5HO has similar acceleration, 0-60 in 4.2, better gas mileage, less weight, better shocks, better tires (thicker sidewall on 35”s + availability of factory 37”s) better gearing (10 speed + 4.10s), beefier components/transfer case (can run 2wd in Raptor not TRX) all aluminum body….just some of the advantages the Ford has. Then the retort is really only “but hellcat engine” - yes, great engine & awesome exhaust note.

[@MS-mr4zm]

@Corrie Elieff lol- ok? Just go watch the TFL vid (they’re pretty big, no?) where they pitted a stock TRX vs a tuned gen2 Raptor on 37”s & see what happened. It’s right here on KZbin. The TRX just barely noses out the tuned Rappy…but the Raptor had HEAVY aftermarket 37” wheels/tires- that’s a significant detractor esp off the line, unsprung weight. Here, watch for yourself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZOznmang7JjhMk

If you need a key to start it that feature comes in. Handy when the battery on the control dies

This is one of the best car review vids ever

[@pb39374]

I have a 2021 Ford Explorer limited and it comes with: Heated Steering Wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, Heated 2nd row seats, buttons in the back of the truck to power close & power lift the 3rd row sits, power rear hatch. Plus it has 360 degree camera all around and adaptive cruise control and the pano roof and the parking sensors auto high beam. All for like $46K

[@thecookiedude85]

I have the same annoyance with my Ram with the keyless/passive entry. I have the back up sensors and front sensors. The temp thermometer is the little globe on the dash by the windshield.

[@wileyfilms]

I get your complaints. I totally agree that ford offers you way more for the money. I would have never sold the lariat for the trx. I actually am in the market for your exact f150 lariat. I think its the best truck you can buy right now. thanks again for being the best on the internet

[@jaredchampagne2752]

The raptor makes you pay huge money for the options too, my 2017 raptor was a 801a, which is one bump below the top trim model, didn’t come with remote start, keyless entry, painted accents, cooled seats, the app that connects, the leather wrapped dash, the 360 cameras, none of it, and that raptor costed me $65,000, the top trim one was like $72,000. So I paid $65,000 for a raptor with a mid level XLT feature set. Ram is not the only one that does this.

[@danramirez4290]

Thx u for your video as I am planning on buying one. I just started the process ordering my TRX. I think I ordered all the bells and whistles except the ‘trailer assistant.’ I did not order any TRX decals or carbon fiber especially at the $ amount for it. Sales person advised me not to get the soft bed cover rather buy hard cover. Not offered on the TRX website, I will get and install retractable foot board. God willing, I will have my TRX in 4-9 months.

[@MarioPerez-rp3ro]

I have same package and it comes with it it does have it and mine is a 2021 🤷‍♂️ not sure why yours doesn't and I do have backup sensors too

[@caramel7123]

Always thought TRX models are OVERATED hype as far as posh features. Appreciate the 1st world review of this truck and details. Hemi is great but SMART truck buyers don’t fall for overpriced BS. FORD LARIAT is the best value. Love the video man

[@Hellcat-pg5pq]

Got my TRX a week ago after a long 6 month wait since ordering. It's a loaded level 2 and it's awesome!!!

[@sadlerfamily5]

Moral of the story order what you want

[@desertsavagery]

Sticker on my Z71 Suburban was 78k I think and I'm having the same issue, I mean I've got proximity sensors, but how do you charge plus or minus 80k for a truck and not throw in cooled seats?? I mean I wish I'd gotten the 360 trail cameras as well, but living in a Southern California desert I'd kill for ventilation under my butt.

[@Mazdingo]

for the temp thing, i was told by other people that darker cars usually dont have correct temps due to the dark color holding in the heat. idk if its true but i have noticed that my black mustang used to show 2 or 3 degree C more than it actually is, but my red mach 1 shows it correctly every time.

[@pjkotze2307]

Good video, really laughed, because of what you guys get for the money. We don't have full size trucks from where I am from, our biggest truck is pretty much a Ford Ranger. And my Ranger in XLT trim (mid-level trim, 4x4 2.0 Single Turbo Diesel which I know you don't get), has EVERY single feature you mentioned at less then (adjusted) US$ 35K....

[@derekhorsburgh6238]

Hey Mike, for that kind of money, hell yah! I'd also get pissy. Drop one of them and put the money down on Mike's next Super Car. Q. Did you happen to make any kind of a video of the delivery to the AMG C63 winner?

[@gravity3303]

What is the biggest tires and rims you can put on the trx without having to add a lift kit?

[@Throttle.Therapy.]

So one of my friends is a Dodge tech. He does PDI's on new TRX's that come into the dealership and he says that the QC of these trucks coming out of the factory are horrid. Cooked emblems, panel gaps and even the beds not being level sitting on the frame.

[@spxram4793]

Proximity key, backup sensors missing, seat ventilation ... - a bit unexpected, but known when buying?? The complaint is obviously not about the TRX, but the fact that RAM even offers it as a "TR1". My '20 Laramie has these options, coming with the package which has the 12" display but the lower spec sound system - not sure about the name. On the TRX, probably RAM's idea was that they can promote a TRX for a fairly low price - obivously the level 2 package is a bit of a must.

[@jacobbuckle7227]

The key fob thing was done for antitheft, eleminated the ability to use repeaters. its a good thing not bad
