RAM TRX | Born For Abuse

We review the new 2021 700HP Ram TRX, the ultimate super truck with serious capability. We discuss the good, bad, engineering, and take it for a drive on and off-road. This new breed of high-performance exotic truck is pushing Ford to move past the Raptor and develop a Predator powered Carnivore F150. Chevy Has rugged Silverados, bottom line this is an exciting time for Truck owners.

I was given a Raptor for 2 weeks as a rental last fall. I would have said Exxon Valdez lol I could tell the gear the transmission was in by looking at the instantaneous MPG on the dash. 1st gear = 1mpg 2nd gear = 2mpg 3rd gear = 3mpg ..... I averaged 14mpg on the highway. First time I've ever had a rental that got WORSE mileage than my track car 😳 I can only imagine what the TRX model would drink.

[@MrMortadella1]

Jack did more off-roading in this video than 90% of future owners will do in a year.

[@307skylake7]

The only off-roading the owners will do is driving their TRX’s on their kids school’s football pitch.

Maybe most of the first owners won't, but down the line when it's less precious you can bet people will have fun with them.

I think we will get longer reviews when spring comes and they get back to doing cars that they are passionate about. Harder to do the longer videos on some of the vehicles lately because it's winter outside and the cars/trucks they're doing are not quite as interesting as what we'll get in spring and summer.

@@R.London I mean, the bulk of what was missing here was interior discussion (details about the fit-and-finish, the audio, infotainment, etc.), but that's because they've already gone into that with their other 5th-gen 1500 videos.

[@savagegeese]

Its extremely difficult towards this time of year to shoot. From a practical perspective standing outside for hours in sub zero nasty weather to get mediocre shots is not a good use of time. Some of it is car selection. Like the Nissan kicks. No normal shopper will watch a 30 min video on that car, and most subscribers don't either. So at least right now they are shorter.
