      It’s a lot of car for the money imo. Mean it’s almost the same price as a challenger hellcat but in a truck which has more material more steel more suspension beds bigger tires bigger brakes bigger everything so trucks are just more expensive than a car would be you know it’s pretty good price in my opinion with that the gas mileage and kill me I’ll be fine personally with a widebody scat pack

    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.

    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

    Very irritating thing Ford has done lately(?) is forcing big$$$ packages for little options. Not sure about the current f150, but the f250 lariat I’ve been considering ordering, lariat mid trim level comes with base halogen headlights, try adding led’s & price goes up ~$5k.
    Going by the 2022 f150’s & f250’s I’ve “built” on the ford website, I’m thinking the lariat with the options you’re talking about in the video would have an msrp in the high $60’s today.

I'd rather have a nicer interior than a superfast truck. The 5.7 is plenty of performance. Would be cool if RAM made the Rebel based off the TRX platform with a NA 6.4 or 5.7 fully optioned out for 70-75k.

    I have every function you just named. My key does 2x the things a TRX does.
    That shouldn’t sit right with Ram or anyone who drives a TRX. It’s not end of the world stuff but it’s daily things like a piece of metal on the center arm rest or a remote tailgate release.. like wtf.
    I know it’s suppose to be an off-road warrior but anything that goes over 50k msrp should be able to function as a daily driver.

    I’m floored that your TRX doesn’t have “basic” features that my $59,000 (Stickered) 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie has. The fob, parking sensors (which are extremely sensitive) and cooled seats were included with my Truck. With regard to the thermostat, I get your gripe, but I’ve noticed that my phone receives it’s temp update from whatever weather station is nearby in the area, not my specific location. Great looking truck tho brother!

    Just wanted to point out that the assisted tailgate certainly IS an option in the Ford Raptor. It’s part of the so-called “Luxury Package” and many used Raptors from 2017-2018 do have that package from 45k-60k USD as of October 2022. So even that feature as a rare “perk” of the TRX isn’t so great as validation for the price of that overpriced RAM! Crazy! Hope you enjoy that thing!

    All TRX's come with the adaptive cruise control system. All you have to do if you don't have the feature from factory, is order the adaptive cruise control button that goes on the steering wheel. Once you install the button, you just have to flash it and active it through a plug in OBD computer. I think the button costs around $70. So you can have ACC for under $100 if you or someone you know has something to flash the truck

    The RAM will have cool seats installed but if you don't ask for it ( and pay ) then they will not switch it on from the factory because the seats have all the necessary elements inside it for it to have these features but itis just a case of getting into the ECU and flipping it on.
