Appellant review of a GREAT pickup. You always tell it like it is, and I appreciate that!

Two things, 1. break in oil is meant to flush out any leftover metal shavings/ particles from the machining process at the factory. 2. Proximity key can be activated by a high end code reader that can go into the onboard computer and turn on or off optional features...but check with the legal department, lol.

I understand that for the price, things like keyless entry should be a standard option. That said, a lot of the bad sounds like a 1st world problem and can be easily overlooked, definitely a very fun 6k miles so far. :)

For those complaining about the scratches in the IP, they're not there. What you're seeing is the reflection of the flappy paddles in the sunlight. You can see it disappear when Andre is pointing to the mileage figure later on.

Excellent Video, I have a huge interest in the TRX, so many people are talking about 8 and 9mpg, however they drive them like a race car (stop and wide open). I would love for you all to do a REAL WORLD test filling it up, getting on the highway and putting the cruise control on 64mph for 100 miles, then refuel, and see what the mpg would be. I predict the TRX should be able to get 15---17mpg, but can't find any videos of people driving them "normal".

@private6549

It gets like 13/15 MPG. Which isn't terrible for a 6,000+ pound, 35 inch tires, wide truck (has a wider and stronger frame than a standard Ram 1500 which gives it a wider wheelbase for better baja capability just like the Raptor) and has 702 horsepower from a supercharged V8.

Hey man I love that truck!! Holy cow!

I find it really interesting that when you compare the RAM 1500 Limited to the TRX, it almost seems like the Limited has more equipped on its baseline configuration.

Remember folks, you can buy a slightly used off-road beater for the price of the level 2 option group. Happy off roadin!

I literally had my 167k mile 2010 GMC Sierra 5.3 oil analysis performed by Blackstone this month. Mine has a stock 5.3 LC9 with a newer (24k Miles on upgrades) non-AFM cam, LS7 lifters, Comp Cams pushrods, upgraded Summit Racing trunion bearing rockers, and new LS3 oil pump. My ppm for iron was 58 vs this new engine so that is very good for an all new engine. Small world after all. Good specs indeed Andre as far as I would know. Comment on this if I am wrong.

Great review, thank you. I'm anxious to find out how an actual "long" term review will turn out, 6K is hardly broken in. For north of $70K that thing should be equipped, especially when it comes to sightlines. Kudos and more power to those who can afford it. Bada$$ truck but well out of reach for most of us.

Just curious what oil you decided to run in what I am assuming was the 1st oil change. For my new 20200 Silverado 1500, I am running the "new" Shell Rotella gas truck synthetic oil. I plan on sending a sample to Blackstone labs for an analysis on my next change at 15K.

I missed the info on which truck is best. Could you tell me which truck the Raptor or TRX you guys like best? Great video.

Really liked your intro. scene with the hedgehogs and the take off down the road. Interesting. I do like the exhaust note sound. I appreciate the interior quality. I am not in love with the whine of the supercharger. And the price is not worth the experience for me. lol Less than 6K miles on it and it already gave you an attitude when trying to drag race it. lol Would be interesting to see just how long it lasts before warning lights come on and has to go in for repairs.

I’ve have been seeing a lot of proto type and testing BMW s lately... near the plant in Greenville

Man I have a TRX and this truck is stoooopid good. 702 HP, daily driver that can haul 5 passengers and 1,000 pounds of mulch. Every time I drive it I'm giddy like a teenage girl. During the Last Call reveal of the Demon 170, that old SRT exec called SRT "The department of bat shit crazy"... Thank you Dodge / Ram for making vehicles no one else has the balls to make.

As long as this truck can tow...Andre is happy!

WTF did you use to wipe the instrument cluster lens? Emery cloth???

I’m going to try to buy it when you guys put it on for bid.

This guy is a much better reviewer then the first guy, his fuel mileage was better towing then the first guy bringing the truck home haha.

Someone really scratched the glass on the cluster ! Ouch 😂

So it seems that the Level 2 package is the way to go.

Wicked beast 🤙👍

Nice marmots in the intro.

I’m listening to the Kove speaker ad and he is trying to show me how loud it gets, but I am listening to it on my Iphone, is that really how loud it gets? 😂

Yeah limp mode aka electrical issues are normal for ram. Depends on the day and time. Mine keeps saying the key isn’t detected and I just ask the truck why did you unlock the door then? Or I have to put it in accessory mode first then push the brake and button to start it but that method never fails

RAM should let you activate the front camera on that large screen so you can see climbing up those boulders!! lol

“Oh Ha” at 5:06! Lol!

Great review so far! Was kinda expecting to hear a lifetime average of the fuel economy, but sounds like it's between 11-13 somewhere. Not bad for 700hp in a vehicle that weighs as much as a semi truck.

Nice review! The TRX has changed what is expected of the Raptor, definitely, not that the Raptor was lacking. I have a 2020 GT500 so understand why people want more HP than they can legally use. I also had a 2019 Raptor SuperCab. There was no point that I ever found it lacking in HP, towing 7,000 lbs on the highway and gravel, towing a 3600lb off-road trailer up some very serious goat trails, in mud, snow,,,,, it was a quick truck, but now even my 2021 F150 XLT Hybrid is slightly quicker!! Go figure! The TRX is almost King of the hill, but the Raptor has it for high speed off-road running. It’s just so much lighter and more nimble, but come the straightaways, and as long as there are not many whoops, the TRX is FAST!! It’s the sound that so many people like!!! My 67 C10 with a 5.7 Ramjet and flow masters sounds much better,,,,,, it’s so harsh and rapping. Typical Mopar mind you. That’s why so many like the sound, I get it, but it’s just not my taste. Nor was the Raptor really. I am liking my regular F150 Hybrid with the Roush/Fox remote reservoir suspension kit the most so far. Fast, quiet where I want it to be quiet, 7.2 kw of electricity for remote camping/worksites. It fits my needs very well. Not everyone’s needs, but mine for sure. That’s the greatest part of trucks today,,,,, the variety is huge!!! Thanks Andre. It looks like this will be a very good Ram, if that limp mode or whatever it was doesn’t develop into a problem. I doubt it will, may need fixing, but it’s not the end of the world if it does. Things break. I had a 2014 Tundra that actually broke a lot!! They all can have a problem or 2 (4 strandings in that d*mn Tundra, wiring harness in the end!!).

Holding up well so far. Good engine, the supercharged 6.2 and NA 6.4 may be the last great V8's from Chrysler, and 6.2 is one of the last supercharged engines. Muscle trucks are replacing muscle cars. Only way to get a body on frame RWD V8 and faster than 60s and 70s muscle cars.
