"Doesn't get squirrelly." You are absolutely correct. I've had my TRX for about 3 weeks and 1000 miles now. I traded a Trackhawk for it. Although the Trackhawk was much faster, it tried to kill me a few times. You absolutely can't accelerate and steer, even modestly, in a Trackhawk. The TRX, by comparison, is solid as a rock. FAST and predictable.
I had heads-up display in my 97 Grand Prix. It took a few days to get used to, but after that it was so natural. I always knew my speed, radio station, important info, without ever having to take my eyes off the road or even think about it. I'm surprised it hasn't caught on more. I agree, every vehicle should have it.
Gm on the other hand has nothing Ford has the raptor and fca has the ram trx, gm has nothing Ford has the bronco and fca has the Jeep Wrangler, gm has nothing Ford has the explorer st and fca has the Durango srt, gm has once again nothing Gm doesn’t care about what people want so that’s why I avoid gm, I don’t want to buy from a brand that doesn’t care about myself and others
I'm just amazed that Ram actually built this beastie! We see so many "really cool vehicles" at the shows and events, but so many of the really good ones never see the light of day. (Looking at YOU, Jeep!!)
@@BAYAREAMX burnouts might be fun, but you can do that in any 1/2 ton truck. I'll take the 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and crazy offroading ability with less tire spin/power on the ground. But whatever floats your boat.
I have a Trackhawk and it has the launch control also. And an ECO button (I have no idea what that does in this vehicle). I LOVE this truck, and I love how you're driving it, having fun and telling us how well it's driving. Good stuff, and you earned a sub from me. :)
@Allout OrNothing they still aren't gonna just sleep on this you know. I guess to be more proper, we'll get something closer to the actual Raptor aging finally, as an option along side theur eco boosts. You can also guarantee that even if Ram doesn't enter this into the Baja 1000, at least one of the racers will snag this thing so we will see whats really up on the dunes
Great video. I am loving the Ford butthurt comments. Lol. I will never own this truck, Raptor, or anything purpose built. I do not have that kind of money. But damn, either one would be a blast.
Ford has been pumping out about 100k Raptors a year so Ram has some catching up to do to pass the Raptor’s success. Ram needs to race the TRX in the Baja 1000 and prove that the heat issues that folks are seeing at the drag strip is solved with this version Hellcat.
@@brendanschriber3242 Ford routinely says that 1 out every 10 trucks built are Raptors. Granted they only sold 896,526 in 2019 but not sure how many were actually built.
As unlikely as this is to happen, I think it would really drive home the capability of trucks like the Raptor or TRX if they took a regular Ram or F150 through some of the same tests or environments to show the comparison. Plus it would make some killer UA-cam content!
It doesn’t get squirrelly partially due to the weight, but primarily because all wheel drive. If it had a rwd setting, with an empty bed, it would be really easy to get outta sorts. Same with the track hawk. You probably knew that though. Just saying.
Great video! I love my Ford, but... I’m thinking I may need to make a change to this. Excited and intrigued to see what Ford will do with their next gen Raptor. If they don’t put their 5.2 supercharged engine into it as an option, they’re going to be missing a huge opportunity; in my opinion.
What like they do with the charger and challengers? That’s what I hate about dodge rightnow..... all these SXT’s driving around with SRT appearance packages 🤦♂️
That’s how I feel, I own a Raptor and I don’t give a fuck if RAM comes out with this truck, I just want the best truck...if the TRX is better so be it, and Ford better keep up.
With options this truck can cost $100,000 that is why. No my $37k ZR2 does not have 700 HP but it it does about everything else off road this truck can.
I thought the same thing . I love the fact my PW is quiet inside . Ram went to great lengths to make the PW refined and quiet, by installing frame vibration dampners and acoustic glass ect.....
It's great to know Ford has to play catch-up, Ram brought much more than a big engine... They're truly driving the history of automobiles forward. Great video, Stephen AND your Dad!
So far I would say TRX still has to play catch up. Ford Raptor did run Baja 1000 race in Stock Body Division class and finished it with 3rd place. Only thing that was done to it from factory floor was to put RollCage, Metal gas tank and they adjusted factory shocks for added weight of rollcage and new gas tank. Until TRX runs the same race and finishes with better time then Raptor ... I say Ford doesnt have to catch up.
Joe, I agree. Ford is updating the F150 for 2021 and is a great truck, but the current Raptor is really being stepped on by the TRX. I am sure the next Raptor will be great. GM is way behind. The GM-Hummer will be a very nice vehicle in a couple of years.
Stephen, What did they do with all the spare gravel at the end of the day? I am sure you could use a few cubic yards at your family compound and you certainly have all the equipment necessary to pick it up and haul it home. ;-)
At first I thought full time 4x4 is a bad idea but it is probably a safety thing. I know on my hemi Ram if I stab the throttle to pass in the rain anywhere below 100km/h it will instantly go sideways and I will tell you from experience, going sideways on the straight road doing 100 in a crew cab pickup is quite a feeling.
The trx doesnt look as nimble asthe raptor, it looks heavy and nose heavy. I dont understand calling the trx the new king.. Throwing a hellcat engine doesnt mean shit.. Only way to compare is actual testing and see if the trx can run the baja 1000 which is what the raptors design philosophy is...
Who describes trucks as nimble LMAO 🤣 The TRX has more comfortable suspension coil springs vs the Raptor's leaf springs. MotorTrend tested the TRX and it has more grip than the Raptor in the figure eight, the TRX also has better brakes it stops 10 ft sooner than the Raptor, and the TRX has a lot nicer interior because at the end of the day these aren't Baja trucks these are road trucks that can race in the Baja on the weekend
@@BRAINFxck10 most probably dont care about agility and nimbleness in a truck (like you said most will just drive them on the road), but I certainly do. To me that makes them all the more fun when throwing them around a dirt road or desert basin. I dont care about 4-5-6-700hp, I want a responsive and chuckable offroader.
Nimble....... have you driven a Raptor? Better yet, them "looks" you're trying to judge ot off of are off af. There's a reason they didn't just shit this thing out, just as Ford didn't just slap power in the OG Raptor. This thing is far more capable than you seem to believe. Even better, if you paid any attention to the spy shots, which you clearly didn't, you would know that they literally had a Raptor side by side with this beast on the testing grounds!
Excited to see the TRX at the Baja 1000. Got some proving to do. One serious negative (900 lbs carry capacity), crap that’s 4 decent sized guys and a small cooler. Go fast on the highway great, but the real test of an off road is performing some of the big races. Gonna give Ram some kudos for stuffing the engine in to force Ford to step up their game. You guys all know it’s coming. While Ford has held the top slot in performance they are gonna have to spank Ram pretty quick.
I feel like everyone is going after ford manufacturers like RAM, cybertruck, Lordstown, chevy I know ford representatives are like dang everyone is going after us should we run
Free flow off road park? Was noticing you driving through Belleville l live close by. Wish I would have seen you driving around in the TRX love the red one!
Great video.... We in Australia have to wait until late 2021 for this beast to land here... and starting price is around $200,000Aus.... But still going to put my name down for one....
Only thing this Trx has on the raptor is sound. If you out on the trails HP is not a big factor. Good to see some bad ass trucks being built for competition.
Hey, good video. Alright, I'll admit the shocks are doing better than I anticipated, but they definitely seem to struggle more than a Gen 2 Raptor's shocks do, which isn't surprising. I suspect TRX owners are gonna have problems on some of the bigger hits us Raptor owners are used to taking, but we'll see.
Nice review! The payload and towing is what turns me off a lot since I use my truck mostly for work towing my 26ft trailer average load 7500 lbs... Oh yeah forgot that I can't afford this truck either. lol! ***Buying lottery ticket***
Just curious does this truck use 4 wheel drive when its in launch control and then switch back to 2wd once it gets going? Also any idea of how expensive the engine and transmission will both cost to replace once its out of warranty? I imagine both are really expensive
To your first question - its an AWD setup - so its always in 4-wheel. It just the % of power that changes front to rear as needed. No idea on replacement cost.
Hi, I have been driving a 2019 ford raptor for about a year now and completely love it, my only complain is that it isnt a V8. I currently have my name on a trx that should be here in a month, if I get it I will not be able to get the redesigned raptor when it comes out. I will most likely have the trx for a year and get the new raptor a year later. Do you think I am making the right choice switching to the trx for a year, or should I stick with my raptor until the redesigned one comes out?
Not at all - those guys were great. I just wanted to go on my own and my Dad had been running Truck King for years at home (for print) - so we teamed up.
Me thinks they offer this “non-Hellcat” variant to get the ball rolling, knowing Ford will counter with a upgrade at 725HP range. That gives RAM the counter punch to unveil a Hellcat variant or something with more like 750HP next year once Ford shows its cards?? Just an opinion. They know they will sell this version out and then they can come out with a Hellcat next year and ensure more sales.
This is the reason that I would not/could not buy a Ford Raptor. I was awaiting the reveal of this truck. Ford messed up by assuming that a 6 cylinder was going to suffice for the truck world. In a truck, one should ALWAYS have the option of a V8. Yes they sold a lot of Raptors, but that was due to no competition. To me Ford became lazy after they initially a gave a V8, then supplanted it with a 6 cylinder. Who can ignore this beefy, brawny, power house; along with, all that goes with it.
I think the only reason it won’t last is people hurting themselves with all the power I think ram did there homework the suspension sounds stout I heard they bought 4 raptors to study all the good and bad so we will see
Looks like a fun truck. Shame it is FCA and will never have the longevity to deserve the price tag. The only thing faster than this truck will be its rate of depreciation.
The new Apex Predator is the Rivian R1T/R1S with 755 horsepower and 826 lb.ft. of torque employing 0 to 60 times in under 3 seconds and 0 to 100 in under 7 seconds💪🇺🇸👍.
At least they claim reasonable torque on that truck. The hummer says 11000 pound feet of torque. That is only due to gearing of the electric motors. Each motor makes roughly 330 pound feet on the hummer. *Quote: Engineering explained
I don't understand why Ram put out a truck that competes with the Raptor in every way except price. The logo inside the center console shouldn't be a T-Rex chasing a Raptor. It should be a Raptor wearing a diamond tiara chasing another Raptor. Also...i cannot wait to see the videos comparing the TRX and the Power Wagon.

Fuel mileage is about the same as my Power Wagon. Not terrible for the extra 300 hp lol.
@R J doesn't surprise me. I've seen some pretty far off mpg tests done with the ram 1500.
And extra 30k
The expression '3 tons of fun' just took on a whole new meaning.

Finally someone actually scrubbing the TRX in some mud!
Great review, but if I'm honest I skipped 14 mins to get to it.
Ford n FCA fighting each other with two different vehicles. Raptor being challenged by the TRX, and Jeep being challenged by the new Bronco.
Except FCA did not take 6 years to bring the competitor to the table. From the time of concept. So there is that.
Not 6 years, but 4 years.

Me thinks they offer this “non-Hellcat” variant to get the ball rolling, knowing Ford will counter with a upgrade at 725HP range. That gives RAM the counter punch to unveil a Hellcat variant or something with more like 750HP next year once Ford shows its cards?? Just an opinion. They know they will sell this version out and then they can come out with a Hellcat next year and ensure more sales.
I'm loving it 😍😍👌
Where can I order RamBar Lights for my 2021 RAM 1500 TRX?
Great video..great Truck..you guys get to have all the fun..
This is the reason that I would not/could not buy a Ford Raptor. I was awaiting the reveal of this truck. Ford messed up by assuming that a 6 cylinder was going to suffice for the truck world. In a truck, one should ALWAYS have the option of a V8. Yes they sold a lot of Raptors, but that was due to no competition. To me Ford became lazy after they initially a gave a V8, then supplanted it with a 6 cylinder. Who can ignore this beefy, brawny, power house; along with, all that goes with it.
Wanna see Some CrAzY HP & TORQUE #'s then go checkout the New HUMMER EV
Cool AF but let's be real. This is a $90,000 toy that won't last.
I wonder about reliability and depreciation.
The people who can afford the TRX won’t really care if it lasts. They’ll trade it in at 50k and get a new one.
I think the only reason it won’t last is people hurting themselves with all the power I think ram did there homework the suspension sounds stout I heard they bought 4 raptors to study all the good and bad so we will see
let the rich kids fight over them , the greedy dealers will mark them up $20-25k
Who cares, I'm just glad it exists
Lots of good info & nice footage as well!
Looks like a fun truck. Shame it is FCA and will never have the longevity to deserve the price tag. The only thing faster than this truck will be its rate of depreciation.
Great job, great toy.
No doubt I’m getting one, now all I gotta decide is the color I want
Alex On Autos explained that it will be always minimum 25% to the front
That's about right - however the power is always shifting back and forth depending on mode and demand.
of course its better but we wanna know if it will last.
We all do - but that's impossible to answer today.
@@TruckKing yeah I know i was just Jokein; Love the content tho
I dad a 2001 Buick ale Sabre that had a HUD projected on the window, it was pretty cool 😎
Nice love too see it in the ❄ snow and water.
More to come!
It’s an expensive side by side that keeps you warm/cool and dry. That’s it.
The new Apex Predator is the Rivian R1T/R1S with 755 horsepower and 826 lb.ft. of torque employing 0 to 60 times in under 3 seconds and 0 to 100 in under 7 seconds💪🇺🇸👍.
At least they claim reasonable torque on that truck. The hummer says 11000 pound feet of torque. That is only due to gearing of the electric motors. Each motor makes roughly 330 pound feet on the hummer. *Quote: Engineering explained
What happened to the Dodge Ram Minotaur ?
Now this is an actual review “ NOT THOSE I HATE FORD ,,, I LOVE RAM BIASED TFL REVIEWS” thanks for the great info
I don't understand why Ram put out a truck that competes with the Raptor in every way except price. The logo inside the center console shouldn't be a T-Rex chasing a Raptor. It should be a Raptor wearing a diamond tiara chasing another Raptor. Also...i cannot wait to see the videos comparing the TRX and the Power Wagon.
