    I totally agree with you. I’m single, I’m blessed with a six-figure job… I came to a crossroad to having decide between TRX and a Raptor. I can afford to put gas in both. However, regardless of what I can afford, If nothing else, who wants to have to stop so frequently to fill up the tank? That alone would be a huge inconvenience. You are right, it’s just absurd. I think 12 miles per gallon in that vehicle is reasonable request. My raptor gets here next week, so hopefully I made the right choice.

    Thanks for the outline of payments. Better understanding. I own a 2019 hellcat charger. Payments of $1055 and insurance of $380 right now. Averaging 13mph gallon. Looking like a little more for a TRX. Still debating though. Gas prices are crazy right now too 🤣

    Hey, nice information. I had a pair of 2016 hellcats that I traded evenly across the table for a 2021 TRX about six weeks ago. I’m consistently getting 11-11.8 miles per gallon. Work commute is about 12 miles each way. With all of the stops I’m putting in $15 of premium each workday to keep it topped off.

    Good for you man. I am contemplating on waiting for the Ford Raptor “R” and or just getting the new Gen3 with the high output TT V6. I already have a GT-350 and want to keep it and definitely getting one of those two trucks. I am worried about single digit MPG’s in a boosted V8 though…J know that has to hurt, regardless of how much money a person makes.

    My TRX had a $97k sticker. I put down 10%, have an 805 score, 2.1% rate, payment is $1,321.98 a month with 72 month financing. Bought a 21 Redeye charger same time, 10% down and got the Chrysler capital 0% financing so payment is only $900 and change. I honestly don’t know what my insurance is cause I have so many cars on there I don’t know how much each is. It is way cheaper than yours though. Seems everyone wants to know what the payments and insurance are on these types of vehicles and what mine is will have noting to do with anyone else’s unless we are in the exact same situation which is unlikely since I have a car addiction and the funds to feed it.

    thx Coy, nice video. What size gas tank does the TRX have? I've thought about stepping up to a TRX from my '17 3500 Denali diesel, but that truck runs 525-600+ miles per tankful. I bet the TRX doesn't get half of that.

      Not complaining as much as I want what was advertised and I’m simply giving an accurate depiction of what the truck costs me to own it. It’s well below the advertised fuel economy by a couple of miles which wasn’t very good to begin with. I’m not going to apologize for being honest. It’s a great vehicle and I love it but I wouldn’t be true to myself if I didn’t talk about the negative with the positive.
