One of the best most straightforward reviews I've seen...Thanks for confirming that the costs, both gas and insurance are really the only concerns. I've yet to see anyone say any negatives about the truck itself...for what it does, it's worth every penny
I have a Power Wagon. It has 410 HP. I get 12mpg. You have 702 HP. You get 10 mpg. 300 HP more for 2 mpg less. ??????? I think that’s a fair trade off. 😁
I got one 1 month ago and i just love it the way it handles and pulls, you could say the fuel economy is a con, but when you buy something like this you are not worried about mileage, and i daily drive a 2021 Land Cruiser that comes with the 5.7 V8 a big heavy truck, but i just love both of them since i mentioned my Land Cruiser.
@@Theplayersclublive I would love to see them do a 1500 Limited with the Hellcat engine. I don't do a lot of off roading but it would still be nice to have that power in a truck that's not as high and wide. Taking nothing at all away from the TRX, I think a full spec'd out Limited with that much power would be perfect.
The 1st morning I started it and said out loud I got a supercharger now!!! The whine is what got me as well. I feel ya sir. Looking into fosters whine mod for this.
Great video and like your "everyday man" blunt take on things. Refreshing to hear someone talk about the truck and not reiterate the same talking points. Waiting for mine (Granite Crystal TR2 package). Can't wait!
@@ramrider1453 I had two Ram trucks before this one. I had the 2013 Night Edition in all black and a 2020 1500 Big Horn, silver Night Edition. I loved them both but I had this opportunity to get a TRX. The Longhorns are so nice too. They usually come pretty loaded with features.
I have a loaded TRX without the heads up or tow dial. Don’t want or need them. The TRX does everything very well. It’s a luxury ride for the family, tows, hauls, stunning design language, 3.9 0-60mph & 9.5 0-100mph, menacing sound, hilarious to drive, and I don’t care about gas mileage. I spend around $500 on 93 octane a month and it’s worth it to me. Then again, I came from an underpowered 4Runner making 14mpg and 8.5 0-60 that couldn’t tow or haul nor had the amenities I need for my family. The TRX is THE GOAT super truck that does all things well and stays thirsty.
I spent $1000 a month in my Hellcat Durango until I sold it. I spent $500 a month in my Laramie 1500 and a few hundred in my Challenger Jailbreak but I don’t drive it as much.
Such an honest opinion!! I have a 2024 tundra it’s also black on black no chrome 🖤 I love black also !! My goal one day is to get a TRX one day I prefer trucks here in the South than a fast whip
Thanks for that review and after listening to you about the gas mileage it's gonna be a no for me. I drive to work 30 miles one way. It wouldn't make sense for me. Love the truck!
You should hire an armored car company to pick up your deposits. Honestly super cheap and super convenient. And much safer, especially as your deposits grow with time
Awesome video!! I saved up to buy one and am going to take a look on monday. I totally agree the black wheels look so much better than the beadlock. Imo the Raptor is still the meanest looking and a lot of people mistake the TRX for a rebel or regular 1500 but it's definitely the coolest newest toy! Only a little hesitant now because I just read about a lot of issues with the TRX'es online but glad you haven't had any so far and hope it'll stay reliable!! Enjoy it!!! Awesome truck
@@flippinfunkos personally I don't really love the look of the 5th gen Rams, except for the TRX, which looks really cool! And no gotta admit I've only owned Rams and Jeeps so far so no experience with the other brands. The thing I like better about the TRX is by far the sound, actually sounds like a truck and crazy performance, and the thing I like about the Raptor better is the looks, looks meaner to me. Gonna check out the TRX tomorrow!
@@jhndk7915 on the current gen 1500s, I really like the Night Edition models which is where they black out all of the chrome, be it the wheels, badges, grills etc. I had a Billet Silver 1500 that was the Night Edition and loved it. The models with chrome I could care less about. I also love the look of the Ram Rebel. As far as the TRX, I like them a lot in black. Black is the color that does it for me. I'm not a big fan of the launch edition color but I do like the red ones I've seen online as well as the Granite Pearlcoat.
Thanks for the video mate, I appreciate your candor. How would you rate your challenger and charger in regards to reliability? I’m a Ford guy but the TRX just looks like a dream.
I’ve never had any mechanical issues with any of the Challengers I’ve owned. I had a minor alternator issue with the first Charger I ever owned but it was fixed and driven for 7 years after that and never another issue.
I know this review was about a year ago but now here in California gas is approximately seven dollars per gallon, it’s totally insane and that’s what’s holding me back on getting this truck, I still want the truck but I don’t know with the cost of fuel???
Money cant be an issue to own a trx. Here in los angeles premium gas is over $4 a gallon (thanks biden). $4 x 33 gallons = $132 full tank at 9.6 miles per, ur paying $132 dollars every 316 miles you drive. Plus $250 a month for insurance. Thats a lot of overhead even if u bought the truck cash. Now as much as i like the trx, id buy the f150 limited. Good on power, tows 14k. Super luxurious interior and 26mpg at 30 gallon tank, over 700 miles per tank. Lower insurance. Lower price.
I got a Tune for my Limited PowerBoost it has 500/700 now. and i raced a TRX it beat me , but just by maybe 2 feet. loving 650 miles per take.. the TRX sounds better tho
How often are you replacing the oil? I saw another video where the guy said it had to be changed every 3k miles. Currently trying to decide between a TRX w/ the level 2 package or the capstone tundra. Toyota would be way more practical, but man this TRX would bring a smile to my face everytime I got in it. Murdered out is the only way to go! This thing's mean as hell. Personally, I would get the beadlock wheels and try to get them powder coated.
Must be where you are about the insurance. I’m only 32 with a clean record ,got a family and my insurance is only 88 bucks a month in Tennessee with State Farm.
Surprised by gas mileage, thought it will be close to Hellcat's 13-14 mpg? Truck weighs a ton more, bigger tires, taller and aerodynamics of a brick, what did you expect? Pure physics. These are one of those vehicles that are purchased for recreational use and not recommended as a daily driver. If you must have a truck daily to haul stuff, plain jane fleet truck would suffice. Notwithstanding, I'm getting one as well ;-)
Great video, awesome Super Truck, still ain’t seen one in person yet, but I’m wanting to! When you get fuel do people ask about the beast? Cause I’d be right there asking questions!
We’ve had to get gas three times so far in the three weeks since I’ve gotten it and my wife has gotten the gas, usually when she takes my son to school. He asks to ride in “Daddy’s monster truck.” She hasn’t said anything to me about being asked about it but I’m used to that when I drove my Daytona 392 or any of the V8 Challengers I’ve owned. They’re conversation starters for sure.
Looks like you have a lot of red on your interior, I have red accents but yours looks like it has a lot more than mine. My insurance is $330 every 6 months. USAA
I’ve owned nothing but Dodge or Chrysler products for the last decade plus and the only car I’ve had issues with that came from them was the Dart. My Dart was a giant pile of crap. Everything else has been great.
Traded my 2018 raptor in on a TRX I had ordered in late last yr .. , had the TRX for month and went back to a raptor .. your right it doesn’t compete with a raptor !!
If it can only come in with a manual transmission. Just imagine that if you want to have a manual, get the trx, if you just want an automatic, just get the standard rebel. If only if.
I lost my love of driving manual a few years ago. Where I live, the traffic congestion is usually heavy and they’re building a bridge near my house that causes even more congestion. My 2018 Challenger was manual and it was no fun to drive anymore with all the stopping and starting. If I lived somewhere else, it would be way more fun.
Ask yourself what you like about the Limited and compare it what the TRX offers. Is the trade worth it? If you get the chance to get one and it’s worth it for you, jump on it. Such a cool truck.
I tried to post this once before lol but yes I was with state farm since 14 when I got my learners permit and this is the first time anyone has beaten them in 36 years of driving so hopefully it's worth your time
I was entertaining the thought of owning one until I saw the what you paid @ the pump. Gas in cali is currently 4.60 a gallon so that'll double for me. It really sucks but thanks for info bro, it really helped me come back to reality👍💯Nice lookn truck BTW💪!!!
I'm getting ready to sell or trade my 2011 SRT8 Challenger and my 2018 F150 FX4 in on either a 2021 Chevy Silverado Black Ops or a TR1 T-Rex. What's the best play ya think?
The TRX. GM leaves a lot to be desired on their interior. It comes down to the interior for me, as a tech junkie and Chevy leaves a lot to be desired on that. Those black ops trucks are nice though.
pull up 2 the ATM and stop just before you get 2 it and get out and do what you need 2 do that way your truck is right next 2 you. I do that in my Jeep.
@@dmcrisp it’s called a complete review. You don’t just talk about all the highs without talking about the lows. People want to know everything, not just the good stuff.
@@dmcrisp no. I wasn’t complaining. One of the questions I got asked the most was about the fuel economy. I was being thorough. I’m used to crappy gas mileage.
It’s a awesome truck but I’m going to wait until they start making them where you can take it out of 4 wheel drive that will help on gas some and wear out less parts.... thanks for your videos...
Very good review!! One thing i would like to know: why do you guys in the US not have your bed covered so you have to put your stuff inside the truck as soon as the rain sets in?
@@flippinfunkos Ok. i just see a lot of truck videos from the US and the basically all have no bedcover whatsoever. same thing in Australia. these covers seem to be much more in common here in Europe
That’s the way it came. I didn’t pre-order my own build. This truck became available and I jumped on it. As long as the outside was all black, I didn’t care about the rest. Lol. But red and black is the inside color scheme, very similar to that of the Ram Rebel.
Not sure. My truck never hit the lot so the sticker wasn’t in the window. I’m sure it’s in the truck somewhere, I’ll look. Check out the delivery video. I got a couple of quick shots of the interior with the plastic still on it. That’s just the way it came. And I agree about the center console. I’m glad it wasn’t suede. My Daytona 392 was mostly suede and I was always so worried about it getting dirty, especially with having kids. Here’s my delivery video: ua-cam.com/video/sAJ8Ip6jyEU/v-deo.html
@@flippinfunkos you know what, I was just looking at the build online. It looks like that’s the color for the “regular cloth and vinyl “ but for some reason you can’t select it with the higher packages. I honestly wish the leather seats with red interior accents came this way. I don’t see the cloth, or at least can’t tell if it’s cloth anywhere. Your video was great man, I like the look
@@flippinfunkos ahhhh your got rid of it?? Man that’s my dream truck! I just can’t justify spending that much on a truck. I’ll stick with my 2010 ram 2500 6.7 Cummins for now. She gets the job done and only has 50k miles on her.
@@GoFlyPix I only had it a couple months and while I loved it, I wanted something different. I got 2 different Hellcat Durangos, a Hellcat Charger and two different Hellcat Challengers in the span of a year. Couldn’t make my mind up and used the car market to change. I tried getting another TRX at one point but I had changed too much. I’ve been settled for the last year though. I have a 21 Ram 1500 Laramie which I absolutely love and a 22 Jailbreak Challenger
High HP = high insurance. Had 2020 M5. 600 hp. 2500 a year insurance. Now 2021 Cayenne GTS, 425 hp. 1500 a year insurance, yet it cost 15k more to buy.
The Rebels that I looked at that I actually would want are almost $60,000. For that, I’m buying the TRX. Also, the TRX will hold its value way better than a Rebel. Rebels depreciate like madness.

Thorough and to the point with no unnecessary bullsh*t or goofy music! 🙌❤️ keep it up bro!

My Daytona Charger was granite crystal. Awesome color choice.
Have Granite Crystal on my 2019 Rebel. Awesome color.
Thank you for the video. You are the only person I’ve seen give a real honest review of this truck. Thanks again
Be sure to check out today’s video where I break down what it costs to drive it!!! Thanks for the kind words.
best HONEST review I’ve ever seen straight to the point and amazing opinions
Thanks.
You were so clear and honest of your opinion on this great truck and that makes me more eager to own one those and so soon I'll, tc dude
Ouch...9.6 mpg. Gorgeous truck regardless.
lol that is what I was thinking
You wouldn’t want that in Europe it cost me 150 dollars to fill the tank on a frontier
And I get 37 mpg
You are 100% correct about that bead lock ring making the truck look goofy
It really changes the entire complexion of the truck. I can’t recall in recent memory, one minor thing changing the entire look.
They protect the rims from the bank drive thrs
That sound never gets old 👍
It absolutely doesn't. I love it every time.
@@flippinfunkos I have a 2019 Ram Longhorn. Just love the truck. But that TRX is one toy I would love. I love off roading.

That smile 😊 when hitting the gas..
Once you experience it..
You understand....
people
Love HARLEY’S...
For the same exact reason...
It’s something I can’t describe.
I was done with the video at 10 mpg and then when he went to the gas pump😂. Sad thing is I still want one. Great video.
Filming a video tomorrow of what it cost me to drive the truck for one month. Wait til that one. Sheesh. Lol
@@flippinfunkos can't wait.
Coming from a trackhawk owner, i get 6 mpg average so it could be worse, it’s much more sleeper than the trx also
Thanks for that review and after listening to you about the gas mileage it's gonna be a no for me. I drive to work 30 miles one way. It wouldn't make sense for me. Love the truck!
It’s definitely a pain.
you seem happy in that trx truck man that smile
I was smiling hearing Super Charger also. Great truck. Love it.
I’m shooting a video this weekend that’s a summary of everything I love and the supercharger whine still tops the list.
Oh I wish I could get a TRX. I'm 59, and a life long gearhead
It’s an awesome truck
Great Review! You nailed it! I’ve had mine for 3 days. It’s just like yours with a few more options. Everyday is Christmas 😊
Outstanding video. Thanks for your frank feedback on the truck.
You should hire an armored car company to pick up your deposits. Honestly super cheap and super convenient. And much safer, especially as your deposits grow with time
I don't even want to get the TRX but I just like this review.
Beautiful Truck!
Thank you so much for awesome review. Gas is $4.59 in California.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for providing an excellent review. I will be making my purchase very soon.

I have a 2020 raptor and she's thirsty all the time, but 10 miles per gallon I don't think it's worth it but I respect everyone's opinion.
yea I was expecting 11-12, was stunned at 8-9. That may not seem like a big difference but it absolutely was.
And how much did the toy cost you? If not, it's indiscretion ?
Check my other videos. I did a breakdown of how much it costs to own it. Includes all the financials.
After that seeing that red interior, Dream truck and Spec no doubt.
But its a ram
@@juledoren yeah and that’s the best part.
On the highway go into snow mode and you will get 30 MPg ! I know as I own one 😂
Died a little at 2:45 when he said “hopefully gas doesn’t go up any higher” 💀💀
I like that face when the supercharger whine 😆
The banks need to have a truck atm as well.
I feel u on that ATM and drive thru. In my 2022 chevy 3500
You get the same mileage as my V-10 2500 1998 now has 300,000 plus on her, I went through 4$ per gallon with 70 mile drive
I get 16mpg on my f150 and spend about 200$ a week in gas. I can’t imagine having this thing
Money cant be an issue to own a trx. Here in los angeles premium gas is over $4 a gallon (thanks biden). $4 x 33 gallons = $132 full tank at 9.6 miles per, ur paying $132 dollars every 316 miles you drive. Plus $250 a month for insurance. Thats a lot of overhead even if u bought the truck cash.
Now as much as i like the trx, id buy the f150 limited. Good on power, tows 14k. Super luxurious interior and 26mpg at 30 gallon tank, over 700 miles per tank. Lower insurance. Lower price.

Amazing truck. I have plenty of grey in my beard but that long one is killing me. You gotta pull that!

Raptor guys hate TRX owners 😂
I had a raptor pull up next to me todayat red-light in tell me it was a bad-ass truck. I have the all black.
I have a 2019 M5, 2020 X7 and 2020 Ram 1500. I want to trade my Limited for the TRX but that width makes me second guess it.
Ask yourself what you like about the Limited and compare it what the TRX offers. Is the trade worth it? If you get the chance to get one and it’s worth it for you, jump on it. Such a cool truck.
I have an old Ford high boy with 200hp. Same mpg...... get the TRX.
Your opinion is correct sir
Had the same banking problems with 2017 Raptor
Insurance tax ride off
Yea because of how much I have to go to the bank, it’s a pain but not the biggest deal in the world.
Great Video Coy!
Thanks
Congrats Bro and you earn my respect and big like with subscribe 🇺🇸
Santa Cruz gas prices atm for 91. $4.89 average.
I only pay 165 through farmers for my challenger redeye just incase you are interested in lowering yours
I’ll check with farmers. I’m with State Farm and have been forever but I’m always open to new things.
I tried to post this once before lol but yes I was with state farm since 14 when I got my learners permit and this is the first time anyone has beaten them in 36 years of driving so hopefully it's worth your time
Great video!
Thank you.
Awesome looking truck bro 👍
Thank you.
🤣🤣🤣 the bank got me
I was entertaining the thought of owning one until I saw the what you paid @ the pump. Gas in cali is currently 4.60 a gallon so that'll double for me. It really sucks but thanks for info bro, it really helped me come back to reality👍💯Nice lookn truck BTW💪!!!
$2.60 a gal. Lucky you, it’s $4.60 for premium over here in Cali
Premium is now 3.60 a gallon here, increased a dollar per gallon in the last couple months.
I love the truck. I’m sure the gas prices are making a difference.
Gas prices are terrible.
I’m thinking of buying this. I live in Dubai where fuel prices are cheaper than water. Raptor R may sway my decision.
I agree I like the all black wheels
Yea, no doubt.
True. Beadlock wheels don't look great on that truck
Great review man
Thank you
Best Review!
Thank you
I'm getting ready to sell or trade my 2011 SRT8 Challenger and my 2018 F150 FX4 in on either a 2021 Chevy Silverado Black Ops or a TR1 T-Rex. What's the best play ya think?
The TRX. GM leaves a lot to be desired on their interior. It comes down to the interior for me, as a tech junkie and Chevy leaves a lot to be desired on that. Those black ops trucks are nice though.
@@flippinfunkos Same here brother. Gonna try to grab the T-Rex. Markup is 5K. Trying to get em to drop a bit to 81 or so.
5K is pretty standard because of the demand
pull up 2 the ATM and stop just before you get 2 it and get out and do what you need 2 do that way your truck is right next 2 you. I do that in my Jeep.
Thanks. I’ll try that.
9.7mpg, that's a huge deal breaking negative even for people with decent amounts of money.
It’s worse than that after a month. Video coming soon with more on that.
What dumbass buys a truck that’s basically meant for drag racing and then complains about the mpg
@@dmcrisp it’s called a complete review. You don’t just talk about all the highs without talking about the lows. People want to know everything, not just the good stuff.
@@flippinfunkos did you think the engine was electric ?
@@dmcrisp no. I wasn’t complaining. One of the questions I got asked the most was about the fuel economy. I was being thorough. I’m used to crappy gas mileage.
I make my deposits at the atm every time.
I hate slow drivethrogh.
It’s a awesome truck but I’m going to wait until they start making them where you can take it out of 4 wheel drive that will help on gas some and wear out less parts.... thanks for your videos...
Very good review!! One thing i would like to know: why do you guys in the US not have your bed covered so you have to put your stuff inside the truck as soon as the rain sets in?
Some people have bed covers, tonneau covers, etc. I rarely use the bed on my truck unless I’m going fishing.
@@flippinfunkos Ok. i just see a lot of truck videos from the US and the basically all have no bedcover whatsoever. same thing in Australia. these covers seem to be much more in common here in Europe
Does it rain a lot there?
@@flippinfunkos Yes, it does. I live in Vienna, Austria and we really do have some rain...-((
That could be part of it.
How did you get the sides of the seats in red ? As far as the online builder goes, it only shows the stitching and small accents a different color
That’s the way it came. I didn’t pre-order my own build. This truck became available and I jumped on it. As long as the outside was all black, I didn’t care about the rest. Lol. But red and black is the inside color scheme, very similar to that of the Ram Rebel.
@@flippinfunkos was it labeled “Trx red interior accents” on the sticker ? Not even the launch edition comes with those
And your center console isn’t “suede” which I prefer for off roading reasons
Not sure. My truck never hit the lot so the sticker wasn’t in the window. I’m sure it’s in the truck somewhere, I’ll look. Check out the delivery video. I got a couple of quick shots of the interior with the plastic still on it. That’s just the way it came. And I agree about the center console. I’m glad it wasn’t suede. My Daytona 392 was mostly suede and I was always so worried about it getting dirty, especially with having kids.
Here’s my delivery video: ua-cam.com/video/sAJ8Ip6jyEU/v-deo.html
@@flippinfunkos you know what, I was just looking at the build online. It looks like that’s the color for the “regular cloth and vinyl “ but for some reason you can’t select it with the higher packages. I honestly wish the leather seats with red interior accents came this way. I don’t see the cloth, or at least can’t tell if it’s cloth anywhere. Your video was great man, I like the look
It’s a Super nice truck.Enjoy your truck life is short 😜
That's the plan!
Can you do a 1 year review?
I sold it a while back.
my insurance is 166 a month. 200+ is way too expensive in my opinion
Just checking in because your said gas is high at 2.60 a gallon….your thoughts now for 2023 6.00 a gallon?? 😔
I don’t have the TRX anymore. I have a Jailbreak Challenger now. Gas is around $4.25 a gallon here and it definitely sucks.
@@flippinfunkos ahhhh your got rid of it?? Man that’s my dream truck! I just can’t justify spending that much on a truck. I’ll stick with my 2010 ram 2500 6.7 Cummins for now. She gets the job done and only has 50k miles on her.
@@GoFlyPix I only had it a couple months and while I loved it, I wanted something different. I got 2 different Hellcat Durangos, a Hellcat Charger and two different Hellcat Challengers in the span of a year. Couldn’t make my mind up and used the car market to change. I tried getting another TRX at one point but I had changed too much. I’ve been settled for the last year though. I have a 21 Ram 1500 Laramie which I absolutely love and a 22 Jailbreak Challenger
@@flippinfunkos nice! I didn’t know what a jailbreak challenger was had to UA-cam it haha those things are insane!
@@GoFlyPix I love it
Did I miss it or did you give the price?
I paid 73,000 MSRP plus I added $10,000 worth of extras.
@@flippinfunkos Thank you!
High HP = high insurance. Had 2020 M5. 600 hp. 2500 a year insurance. Now 2021 Cayenne GTS, 425 hp. 1500 a year insurance, yet it cost 15k more to buy.
My wife’s Jaguar F Pace and Jaguar XE both have high insurance rates because cost of repairs is so much greater.
Park the truck during daytime make deposit safer also for your
My schedule doesn’t allow for that.
Nice pick-up!!!
FYI go to Costco to get gas. Cheapest 93 octane around
The closest Costco to me is 80 miles away. Lol
I got 2014 tundra thought that was bad gas mileage. Lol but nice truck , had one pull up next to mine at light
For my 2020 rebel my insurance is $70 per month
You lost me when you said the truck is too tall for an ATM. I love mine!!!
I made adjustments to my nightly routine.
I’d give it a year. See how them payments add up lol.
I had been with state farm since 14 , first time anyone beat them so yes hope it works out there or someplace legit
They sure do
Love the review but it’s going to be horrible at towing the suspension is to soft and will squat horribly
We are going to do a tow test here in the next few weeks when we take the boat out for the first time.
What's the insurance on the truck for a 23 year old with 2 speeding tickets
Couldn’t tell you that. Would have to call your insurance company and get a quote.
Are all your bolts tight?!
Hopefully.
@@flippinfunkos I hope so too bro, the quality of the TRX assembly line is why I didn't buy one. Going with the 37" Raptor instead.
Coy
Why buy the TRX over the Rebel?
The Rebels that I looked at that I actually would want are almost $60,000. For that, I’m buying the TRX. Also, the TRX will hold its value way better than a Rebel. Rebels depreciate like madness.
@@flippinfunkos your TRX look bad@$$ so do you look driving it; Black is a dominating color great choice! Have fun!
@@servantsoldier5207 thanks.
It looks so good !
It does!
Gas prices have doubled since this video😰
Same ol like the rebel just suspension , motor , wheels there’s the $40K extra
I love the Rebel. I always said if they put a Hellcat engine in the Rebel, I’ll buy one. They did and I did!
There is a lot of differences between the 2 trucks. Not even close. Entirely different body and frame.
