Very cool truck. I'd not have expected it to be THAT quick in a quarter mile. That's very impressive by itself. Also. I'm so glad that John Davis is still doing these. I grew up watching Motor Week reviews going as far back as I can remember in the mid 80's. John if you read these comments. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you for 40 years (and counting) of Motor Week. Your show helped shape me into the automotive enthusiast I am today. Much to the dismay of my bank account. lol.

Why? The shift knob gives you more options on the console. I love how I can configure the center console. The gear selector and the 4x4 buttons are all together.
Absolutely insane that this thing is faster than my first 2015 Hellcat, due to traction. And with Motortrend getting 3.8sec to 60/ 12.3 1/4 times, this makes the 3rd publication that has posted wayy faster numbers than those that were published. Sheesh! This may be the best Hellcat of them all(use wise).
"TRX is no parking lot poser!" Don't worry, the owners will make sure they will be used exclusively for Mall Crawling, just like most built Wranglers..
Those three little lights in the hood scoop are not "for looks." They are required by the Dept. of Transportation because of the width of the vehicle. Same thing with the Raptor. C'mon, man.
As I'm watching this with a friend as soon as we both hear "Parking Lot Poser" my friend starts to laugh, points at me and says "Thats you with your Trackhawk" 😁
I can't believe I have to educate Motor Week. Those "Accent Lights" are NOT for looks. DOT regulations requires them on vehicles wider than 80 inches wide. That's why Dually trucks have them and big rigs. The TRX is 86 inches wide. Now you know Motor Week. 2:24 Shame on you.
Amazing how well FCA does when they make awesome cars people actually want to buy. I want one of these so badly but I think the fuel bill on my long commute to work would bankrupt me. My 2020 Ram Eco Diesel gets 32 MPG but isn’t fast at all, all about trade offs.
@@markk3652 My 99 5.9 averaged 13mpg, and that was highway biased driving. Shame that the trans went before the front brakes, the rear end went at 88k miles, but I did drive it for 199,500+ miles until I couldn't justify the nickel and dime repairs.
I paid less for my house than this truck. 1300 sq ft, new, never lived in before. Paying this for a vehicle is nuts! 10 years later my house is probably worth 30k more. Doubt a car will do that.
Thanks, a $90,000 pick-up Truck is out of my use... But certainly interesting!!!! (though not a big fan of DIGGING up, compacting, and making more ROADS : tearing up landscaping, Petroleum uses, pounding plains,,and beautiful areas with motorized vehicles may not be best uses of “ non- Farm “ lands, etc ....).
@@nickmotsarsky4382 my point is, and I’ll be super clear here nick, horsepower numbers don’t mean a thing if they can’t be used in all environments. Take a srt 10 into the desert, or into the woods on a hunting trip, doesn’t shine as bright as it does on pavement.
As much as I love this but it's no ford lightning or ram srt 10. Its a high power offroad baja type street truck. They should make a variant like the dodge ram regular cab short box RT but with the hellcat engine and interior. Making a real muscle truck. Deffiently would sell. Everyone loved go see and to build regular cab short box muscle trucks or small Dakota ranger s10 muscle trucks. Especially country folks
@Jason Littlefield im not gonna do anything nor are you but the gov'mt is gonna start banning gas vehicles not to long from now like they are working up to in europe. Plus when the cyber truck comes out, the only thing this truck will be good at doing is looking nice in the rear view mirror
@Jason Littlefield i have 2, and an 09 z06 vette, and theres nothing like driving a tesla, even the corvette doesn't feel as in control, more fun to drive though. Also don't need to cry to anyone about anything i'm just stating facts, and your not happy with it so you take offense when none was intended, but simple minds can only formulate simple actions, so i understand Jason, and its okay i accept you for what you are. Believe it or not there is a need for the type of person you are, a red blooded narrowminded servent manchild.
Love the TRX but I think I like the raptor more.Only because I feel like the raptor is more recognizable than the TRX.The TRX looks like a really nice Rebel.That's just my opinion. Still love both trucks.
Let's just see how long fca can keep this going. Ford has reigned supreme in this market for years, a flash in the pan is shiny, but it's still just a flash in the pan.

@@nicolasdepaoli2387 My God! Is there any hope for Argentina at this point?
2:25 Wrong. The accent lights are not just for looks. They are a DOT requirement due to the large width of the vehicle.
Yep vehicles over 80” wide require 3 amber in front and 3 red in the rear.
Yes, yes we know that already, that’s why the Raptor has them. The ones in the TRX are cleverly integrated into the hood scoop so it does LOOK good.
Yep! Just like the ford raptors!👍
He stated the accent lights on the hood. Not the width lights
Glad someone else caught that too!
This truck will make the truck performance market go nuts.
I’m sure the next raptor isn’t going down without a fight.
Both trucks still awesome.

They missed the underhood t-rex eating a raptor.

Give him a chance he's about 80 years old and he's still on the game
The hood lights are a US Federal regulation because of the trucks width and height.
What’s insane is the prices of trucks. It’s a good thing for the manufacturers that everybody is rich now.
That truck has no business being that fast, I love it!
This is a superior truck to the Raptor. Maybe next year, the Raptor can compete.
Remember Ram still has the Red-Eye engine 797 HP 705 torque. 😉😉😁

Pretty impressive for something that big, Wish I was making 6 figures a yr😁
Of all the big 3, only Dodge could make a real truck like the Ram. I'm not a truck guy but damn, I like that.

I doubt many TRX owners will off-road on a regular basis- like most pristine looking Jeeps. I own a 94 so I can talk smack ; )

Thankfully! He's been there for me since the mid 80's!
Ram trucks have come a long way
GM !!! COME ON!!!! LETS GET IN THE FIGHT!!!
I do that type of off roading with my 2007 Corolla
They were always heavy trucks. When they get stuck they get stuck. Pulled many out in my day... And it still looks like a heavy truck. Peace out.

No mention of fuel mileage like they usually do?! Curious what the beast got!
