Ram 1500 TRX 100 Day Review | Daily Driving a Super Truck

Lets talk about what its HONESTLY like owning a Ram TRX

[@kevincampbell6490]

Super clean!!!! I'm a 2017 Raptor owner. Me and my wife have made up our minds that this has to happen.

[@Wimya]

Thanks man! Its an awesome truck! The Raptor is badass but I don't think you'll regret making the switch!

[@oinn8003]

and did it happen?!

[@186bingo]

Appreciate the honesty and real world review. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted. Took delivery of a ‘22 Limited a few weeks ago and love this current gen Ram. Every brand will make lemons that’s why you have warranty and lemon laws.

[@randywagner9218]

Great videos! Mine just arrived yesterday in Ohio waiting to get it shipped to me

[@FarCry164]

Great video. Planning on ordering a 2022 in January. Can't wait!

[@Wimya]

You’re gonna love it!

[@arx4-571]

Great video! Really interesting and fun to watch! Ordered mine a few weeks ago and might finally be taking delivery in 3 weeks. With the 6.2 it’s considered a new vehicle so it takes a lot longer here in Europe to get your documents, but our equivalent of your EPA finally approved it, so hoping I’ll be able to take delivery at the end of this month. And I know vehicles in general are more expensive over here... but dang. They made the TRXes like twice as expensive over here! They know people buy them anyways. Am excited for it tho, pretty sure I’m gonna love it!!!

[@Wimya]

That’s awesome! You’re gonna love it! Where in Europe are you? I’m originally from England and still have my family over there, so they were all hyped when I got the TRX haha

[@Jackal_Blitz]

Awesome video man! I'm probably going to be trading my Gladiator in for a TRX sometime soon, and it's nice to hear from a daily driver (not just a reviewer). Thankfully, I work from home full time, so the MPGs won't hit me too badly. :) Question for you - Have you heard of Bulletpoint Mounting Solutions? They make dash mounting systems for trucks to hold phones, GoPros, radios, etc. I thought that might make filming in the cab easier for you if that's something you do frequently. I have them in my Gladiator, and they're fantastic.

[@Wimya]

That’s awesome! You’re gonna love the TRX. I love the gladiator as well though. Had a 2020 JT & just replaced it was a 2023 JT I love the bulletproof mount! I actually had one in the gladiator as well lol.

[@chrisromano1304]

The fuel economy can be "ok" if you drive it normally. I'm seeing 10 to 11 city and 14 to 15 on the highway averaging 70mph (adding a tonneau helps).

[@igosmart-proigsp9526]

Great video. TRX does have poor fuel economy. Roughly 7 MPG is pretty shabby. The Rebel 1500 Diesel is quite good for a truck at 20 MPG. The power on the TRX is amazing and it is very comfortable. Andy at Huntington Beach Jeep had some last week for sale but I believe they sold out.

[@prettyboy1970]

The extra red in the interior looks great. Hard to believe thats a base model.

[@Wimya]

I feel like the base model was a well Kept secret by Ram. Has everything you want on a “budget”.

[@MR_FN509]

I have a ford raptor but love the trx thing is a beast i am going to wait till the 20k markup is off them then strike

[@Wimya]

You’re gonna love it. I love the raptor as well and honestly always wanted one until I got the trx

[@wayneeden98]

The one thing that is nice about our varieties of different interest in life about our beloved trucks, and please believe me, I definitely respect our differences in various points of interest, first off we all need to understand the most important detail, the beauty that hold on our trucks, it is physical beauty with our trucks, but it's really mainly mental and emotional beauty, otherwise we would never own it or attempt to own it, there's a lot of different opinions out there and everyone has their own opinions and view points, as far as I am concerned, Chevy, ford, and ram ,there all 3 American built, and there all beautiful trucks, everyone is against this or that, and that's their personal right, are you gonna own something you don't like, not if you can keep from it, we only buy what we need or what we like, it just depends on the lifestyle of our money, or if can come across some lottery money, that helps too, we all have our own preferences and that's the way it is, there all 3 beautiful trucks, everyone has their own opinion,

[@grcorollace]

Got mine on March, as of today 5300 miles, 2 oil changes, one tire rotation, gear transmission cable replaced, 1 radio replacement because the Uconnect and the steering wheel weren't communicate each other, other that that no problems :(

[@mopardude707]

I'd love a TRX close to 11mpg isn't bad at all for being close to a 7k heavy pickup. I daily my 99 single cab sport with 5.9 magnum that things gets 10 to 11 mpg 😆 not so different from going to my old 99 245hp to a new TRX that makes 702hp. But now I also daily my 04 1500 hemisport that one does get roughly 14 to 17 depending on driving habits. It took about 113 to fill my tank with gas prices being 4.55 a gallon on 89 octane I could imagine the TRX using 92 octane and being close to 180 or 200 to fill

[@Wimya]

Yea exactly for what it is the mpg isn’t terrible and is what’s to be expected for the caliber of truck the TRX is. Right now it’s about $160-$170 per fill up using 93 down here in South FL

[@mopardude707]

@@Wimya wow but the tank size must be a 36 gallon capacity as well. Even the fact the ram srt10 has an mpg of 9 it's a fun truck as well. I can't complain to neither about them lol. Although I do wish to own both one day

So some guys change out the fuel pump and other stuff in their cats and stuff to pump e85 can you do that for your truck
