2023 RAM TRX HAVOC EDITION Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- With a 702 HP Supercharged V8, the 2023 Ram TRX is a Jurassic beast! Ram's Raptor Slayer truck has upped the competition for Ford to battle for king of the Baja style factory truck and while the winner may not be clear cut, the TRX Havoc Edition is a pickup for the books!
The limited run Havoc Edition takes a fully loaded TRX and adds some color but the TRX in Baja Yellow is more than just a sight to see, it's just begging to be taken out to the dessert to let its pony's run wild.
Let me know any questions you have on the truck, hope you enjoy!

7,800 pounds!! That can't be correct. 7,800 must be the GVW, Phil.
You are totally correct! Curb weight is 6,440 lb, GVWR is 7800, and towing is 8,100. I noticed I said this wrong a bit after posting but was like eh not worth deleting and re-uploading for, but thanks for keeping me honest!
looks fire
They are a mean looking truck!
yeah my dad has a 2023 TRX but its not the havoc edition@@PhilipBlank
สวยมาก
ขอบคุณ!
how much💲💵👍
$105K + unless you could find a used one somehow haha.
drop another digit&devalue the dollar like the peso@@PhilipBlank 👍
Am a Ford Fan but I also love the Ram TRX Havoc edition & Lunar editions just for the colours.
I do love the Raptors still! All great trucks
I get Avg. 12 City 15.4 Hwy and Towing a 6x12 enclosed with a Commercial Zero Turn I get around 9.5 to 10.5 MPG.....I also am not crazy with my throttle...I use it lol...
Wow 15 is high! But it actually is surprising the efficiency with that much output.
@Philip Blank I was shocked and I only get that when out of the Mountians and all flat with cruise around 65, over 70 it starts falling fast....I agree it's not great but with the output it's doable and very enjoyable...
I have a bad ass built raptor with only 20k miles but its slow af. I sold my z06 and now want a TRX because the raptor is so slow
Z06 to the Raptor had to have been a big change! They say the Raptor R is even faster, but I do prefer the TRX to it, all nuts fast for pick-ups.
@@PhilipBlank I owned both at the same time. It's a huge difference
@@PhilipBlank raptor is so overpriced not even funny
Yeah I was looking at a R too and I can get a similar equipped TRX and mileage for like 30k cheaper. Maybe close the deal on one today. @@Captainhairyass
Gorgeous truck ! Very different glad to see something different that all grey or all black
You can always count on Dodge to make something wild from factory!
🤣🤣🤣Clearly under the speed limit. I recently got a Blue level 2 and it's pretty awesome. Going from a Tacoma to a TRX takes some getting used to. I miss that Tacoma power tho
Tacoma power is a whole other level 😂 but the change in size alone is a learning curve, can’t fit in as many parking spots! I’m a fan of the hydro blue, I’d like to see a matte slate blue version in the future.
@@PhilipBlank I like the Matte Slate Blue idea. I wonder if a matte wrap would work
damn! my dream car bro...
A worthy candidate!
The correct pronouncing of ‘Bilstein’ is not Bill-steen but ‘Billshtine’.
(Just in case you want to pronounce it in its origin / German version 🙂 )
That’s actually great to know! Makes sense that in German the “h” is pronounced. Thanks for sharing!
The most insane thing about these is the dealer markup! Even Koons wants 10,500 over MSRP right now. Lol.
Hopefully we get off the craze of the markups soon, I agree it’s been so out of hand especially on anything they think is special.
@@PhilipBlank as long as people pay them, they’ll continue.
This is why I'm buying a used one@ 98k even.
I own a 2021 and just love it and will never sell ever ❤
What color? Yeah they are quite the machines!
@@PhilipBlank colour is black
Frequent stomping on the gas... "Gas Milage is seven point..." LOL
It’s way too much fun not too stomp it haha. With “normal” driving it does get better but where’s the excitement in that!
請問您，這霸王龍是6.2升汽油引擎，還是柴油引擎。
Hello there! This 6.2 L in the TRX is a petrol engine. There is no diesel option on these trucks. Hope that helps!
I’m fine with my 5.7 HEMI with 400
Horsepower with the 3.92 rear end, and she’s quick. I know it’s not the 6.2 supercharged HEMI TRX, but in reality does anyone really need that much power on the street?
Most definitely not! Haha The truck is pure excess, but that’s the fun of the free market, companies can make what they want, and consumers can buy it if they have the money. In reality you would never need anything more that what Toyota puts in any of it’s trucks or cars, they are the epitome of practicality so if a Tundra has 389 HP, very rarely would you actually “need” more. It’s out of enjoyment or desire for anything beyond that and I am glad it’s an option!
Great video!
Thanks Mate!
The only sad reality, is it’s either buy this truck and live in it or buy a house with the price of how much these things are. Like it’s not even remotely possible for the average person to own less they just wanna sign there life away with payments for like ever lmao
That’s fair, they are incredibly pricy! But just like they have homes from $100k to $5,000,000, they have cars in all ranges for every customer type. They don’t sell near as many TRX’s as they do their regular Ram or let alone used trucks, but they make a speciality item for the people out there with the cash to buy it.
Great Video…Thank you.
I know everyone has their own preference. Which one do you prefer between Havoc and Lunar edition?
Ram is definitely going for both ends of the spectrum with the two special editions one being Wild and the other subtle, but I absolutely love the lunar ceramic gray color and the blue stitching, that thing is beautiful and might be my first pick. But sadly they are sharing it with the 1500 Rebel so it is a bit more common of a color in the long run.
@@PhilipBlank Thank you. Exactly what I thought and reason I will buy Havoc over Lunar. I don’t understand building limited color and share with Rebel 1500. It doesn’t make sense to pay extra money with common color.😊
@@gregmiller9382 I’d definitely give it a long test drive before you buy so you know what you’re in for haha but it’s gonna be wild!
Havoc edition!.love the colour
Still an awesome pickup truck but it just lost its appeal to me after the Raptor R was released‼️
The Raptor R is a incredible truck as well! The best part with technology where it’s at, everyone wins with no matter what truck you like, even the regular raptor is still great. (Except for on the cost! The prices on trucks is crazy)
How much is this truck cost and how much is Ford F150 Raptor which one
costs more hi !from Thaland
You can find the havoc for about $110k, 2023 Raptors for about $90k and Raptor R for $150k+. Lots of dollars for a truck!
Oh my God 110-150k for a trucks now that's it game over for me + imported tax here about 8-12 million Thai baht
It’s pretty wild for sure! There are enough people out there buying them that it makes it worth while to the truck makers.
1st comment!
Just about!
Great video! Looks like an absolute blast to drive.
Pretty wild for sure!
I just got the 2022 TRX used with 47,487km I love the truck the super charger sounds wicked
I love the 17 speaker Harmon Kardon in my power wagon 75th Molten Orange 9MPG city and 14 MPG HWY. I may trade it in for the this truck. Then do a Corvette Octane yellow wrap sparkle color. No one will no the difference of Baja yellow verus Corvette Octane yellow color on it. 😅
It sounds so good! I bet the value on that truck has held pretty well. The thing with these special editions is it’s purely cosmetic and pin-striping on the interior, so you don’t have to worry about being a special edition, it’s more just making it the style you like, I bet the flake in that sparkle would be incredible looking!
สวยมากครับผม
It is a good looking truck!
that sure is fancy.little to fancy for me
That's fair! Sometimes the base stock truck can be the most satisfying. I have a lot of seat time from work in a fleet single cab F-150/250 with the white paint and cloth seats. Always a pleasure when there are no bells or whistles, just a truck.
V Please always wear your seat belt
Of course! Safety first, doesn’t make much sense to not wear one these days.
Put mode into snow mode on the highway and you’ll get 30 mpg ! Yup
That’s wild! I’ll have to give that a go and see what happens for myself.
Is it available on gray colour and you can also get it on diesel fuel ⛽
Yes, the gray Lunar Edition TRX is one of my faves with the blue pin-striping inside, but no, only the 6.2 L V8 Hemi is an option for powertrain.
Will you be test driving the Raptor R?
I don’t have a plan for that currently, but who knows if we pick one up in the future!
All I can do is dream about it..
What color would you dream of?
Deberían ablar en castellano para Sudamérica 😮😮😮
I don’t speak Spanish but that’s a good idea!

клевая тачка
Maybe so
am called Ben from Uganda
like it ram trx
Glad you enjoy Ben! I have not been to Uganda.
Ah ha!!! You said it comes with 35" goodyear tires. My 2023 1500 limited longhorn has firestone destination 35 12.5 r20- am I right to assume your truck is calibrated to those goodyear 35s? My truck shows 275/55r20 is what it should have, the dealer put the 35s on mine- and I assumed they were calibrated. MPH, MPG AND ODOMETER are off. Dealer says RAM won't allow them to change for my tires, that they put on. Thanks for a good video showing a real monster machine. My msrp is 76,970. WWAAYYY too high.
Good question! The automotive standard is for a truck to be calibrated on the tires size installed from factory, they do all the tilt and roll-over test on what’s installed, and I am sure EPA testing would also have to be performed on factory installed tires. Normally dealers update the calibration if you put a different size tire on, but I have seen a thing on a form that if you go too large say 37s and update the calibration it starts screwing with the rest of system like the parking sensors. Most people accept the inaccuracy when you go above what you should. They said Stellantis is not wanting wanting dealers to use 3rd party software to update calibrations either so maybe that’s what your dealer is dealing with. Probably have to buy a third party tool and do in manually, but not something I’ve had to mess with myself.
Beautiful Beautiful ❤
It sure is!
Does it have a speed limiter on it???
It does, 118 because of the T rating on the 35 in tires. Legally not allowed to go over that with these, so you’d have to put smaller higher speed rates tires and unlock the limiter.
4x4
Yes, with no option to take it out of it.
What’s the title of the intro music?
Howling at the Moon by D Fine Us! Dude sorry for the delay! Missed this one.
This is truck I want. How much you pay for it?
You can find the Havoc TRX for sale between $105k-125k, pretty nuts but it’s a super truck similar to a super car.
What a Game Changer....awesome beast. I have to put on my headset to hear it roars. WOW.
It’s a wild era of trucks that’s for sure! Tried to get as clear of audio I could but it has a great sounding engine.
Yep… awesome looking truck even in yellow…
It looks good in most colors I've seen! though I just saw one wrapped in a highlighter green, about the brightest color possible and it almost hurt your eyes to look at it, it was something else.
Thanks for the tour, finally a true factory muscle truck.
My pleasure, thanks for the comment! The trucks’s a beast for sure.
Eu gostei ❤❤❤
Obrigado!
Motor companies know that there are suckers out there who i'l fall for anything thats hyped up to be "special" or "better than".dont get me wrong most vehicles are capable but as for myself i dont fall for the marketing hype nor what the masses perceive a product(car) but like/love it coz it tickles my fancy.the Ram TRX is awesome but i prefer the Raptor not coz its "better" but just coz i love it,period!.different strokes for different folks.
I’m a big fan of every gen of the Raptors! Awesome trucks for sure.
Honey mustard 🤮 people really fall for "special edition" lol
Nah it’s a pretty bold yellow, bright!
I bet you'd be impressed with a Lamborghini in the exact same color.
Yes, sparkle paint makes it stand out.
dream vehicle ❤😮😊😊😊
She’s a beast!
I want it Manuel transmission.lol
That would be wild haha, we’ll see if some UA-camr does that to one!
pwede ba yan alborin?
I can not say I know what Alborin is, is that a color?
Jean nisif has a white GS-R WRX with active terrain
The BWM GS Adventure, a WRX, or an old Acura GS-R? Not sure I understand them in combination with active terrain.
Review ford 150 raptor boss
Huge fan of the Raptors! I’ve not gotten a Raptor R yet though so maybe that will happen in the future.
"2 Own 'This' Real 'HAVOC'...'After 'Formalities'"
Come again?
that’s the dumbest truck to own then
If you can’t afford it, definitely!
Why?
you should immediately stop what you're doing and start a different profession
You may be right my dude
