  • What the hell were RAM thinking?
    In this episode of Patriot Games we take a road trip with Justin as he tests and reviews the RAM TRX 1500 after owning it for 6 months. This thing is bonkers. 6.2L Supercharge HEMI Hellcat delivering 702hp straight from the factory! Oh and let's give it a Baja mode!
    We've driven some amazing cars before, but the TRX is on a whole other level. Every kid had a supercar poster on their walls back in the day, and that's exactly what this is; a supercar.

      ​@Animals&Cars Jesus that is insane its 150k in Canada (20k) over msrp most dealers that have want for it unless you want to order and wait over a year ... between the year long wait and the added fuel cost still on the wall, have a 500hp camaro and I don't know why I'm looking at this "for the utility" which I can get out of a 50k truck... having options is my weakness need to revert to being a monk.

    Justin, I have a 2006 and a 2018 ram 1500 and they both have Dana 60 axles. We’ll actually they are Chrysler 9.25” which is/was Rams equivalent to a D60. The TRX from what I have seen from other UA-cam videos is a Dana 80 like the Ram HD trucks, but it has been customized for higher ground clearance and to accommodate those beastly shocks. I live in south Florida and guys are driving these around instead of lambo’s now. I love it!

      They would have to upgrade the Dana 60 rear end to run it in 2wd. The power output of the engine is too close to the maximum that the Dana 60 can handle. That is why the Dana 60 is only used as a front axle on the HD diesels.

    Non-RAM owners always ask me if my 2019 Ram Rebel is a TRX 😂. I guess because I have a vararam CIA and I'm running a Borla Atak exaust, they think it sounds like one 😂
