    Loving mine! Coming from my C8 and Tesla P100D, this truck is good at everything! Hauls 5 people in comfort, can hang with a lot of fast cars or flat out beat them off the line, it can tow, it can haul stuff around. But the MPGs do suck. My C8 for example easily gets 30MPG cruising on the hwy, or 18MPG city.

    I’m surprised you get double digits on MPG with that engine. We had, until recently, a 2014 Grand Cherokee Overland 5.7L, and we were only getting 9-10 MPG in the city. It did a little better on the highway….17-18 MPG. But with an added Borla exhaust, I gotta tell ya, its hard to keep your foot off the pedal. They sound SO GOOD. Beautiful truck Roman. Looks and sounds great.

    If you correctly set up the side mirrors, no vehicles have blind spots..., the problem is most set them up to look down the side of the vehicle, which is always there! What appears in the right of the rear view mirror should appear in the left of the side mirror, then before that vehicle leaves the side mirror, it will appear beside you. It does take time to get used to but it does work.

    Just in case its not clear, the RAM TRX is a play vehicle. Its not meant to be practical or fuel efficient, its mean to have fun in, but still more practical than a pure sports car. After all, when you go out to dinner you don't consider that you can eat at home for 1/3 as much. Going out is a about the enjoyment, irrespective of cost. In any event, when it comes to rock climbing, it really could use that forward facing camera.

    Had mine since April.
    I disagree with Tommy’s opening statements on power and perception. More isolated than a Challenger or GC Trackhawk, more refined, which could have some impact on viciousness quotient. However, from stoplight to stoplight, compared to Challenger and Charger Hellcats, TRX is faster. Tommy knows this, so be sure to dissect his comments.
    Hennessy also did baseline testing against C8 at Texas elevation, and TRX logged consistently faster times in stoplight-to-stoplight framework.
    Thanks for the video guys 🤝!

    Totally right on the features trucks should have. Make it standard and your economies of scale have an impact. Should have Auto Unlock with the key, adaptive cruise, lane keep and blind spot monitoring standard. Unless you’re buying a work truck then it’s your call.

    Did they go down the tight switchbacks on the Grant side or go back down the easy Montezuma side? That's what I was waiting for the whole time was the Grant side to see how the truck handled the sketchy not very wide road.

      From my experience, having owned quite a few new vehicles, problems in the first few thousands miles tell you a lot about quality control and craftsmanship. If you have no initial quality issues, then the thing was screwed together correctly. Long-term is something else, going to design and testing of the product, but that's not going to be known for a while.

    Funny vid, because my Raptor has front and 360 cameras, proximity unlock, remote start and the rest of the stuff you listed as the TRX not having. It was $65k brand new. Your average MPG is what I got on a recent 1500 mile road trip towing a 5000 lb travel trailer. Unladen road trip MPG is almost 19mpg, some due to the smaller engine but also having a RWD mode. Desert running 450 vs 700 HP isn't really a thing, suspension and driving is what matters. I thought about taking crazy used market profit and getting a TRX but it just doesn't make sense for actually living day to day as my only vehicle like the Raptor does. I think it'll be the same with the Raptor R. I love the escalating race truck war, but I think they make way more sense as a second vehicle/toy rather than a swiss army knife DD like plain 'ol raptor.
