RAM TRX 1500 Real World Test Drive - Baja Mode! | Patriot Games

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

What the hell were RAM thinking?
In this episode of Patriot Games we take a road trip with Justin as he tests and reviews the RAM TRX 1500 after owning it for 6 months. This thing is bonkers. 6.2L Supercharge HEMI Hellcat delivering 702hp straight from the factory! Oh and let's give it a Baja mode!
We've driven some amazing cars before, but the TRX is on a whole other level. Every kid had a supercar poster on their walls back in the day, and that's exactly what this is; a supercar.

    I will own a Trx. I owned every generation ran, other than 1st. Hemi, and cummins. I've modded and gone through every single one. Currently own a 2019 1500. I drive it like it's a trx, but I've driven every truck that way. I will own a trx.

    I was debating back and forth. One of the main reasons i got mine was the first part of the video where you said every time i start it up im smiling. I pre ordered a RHO maxed out. Just something about having it kept calling me. Went and got one on May 21, i love it. Best decision i have made for a vehicle. Crystal Granite 2024 final edition with everything on it except ram bars. love it Thank you for your video. This really helped me make my decision along with your enthusiasm.

    Justin, I have a 2006 and a 2018 ram 1500 and they both have Dana 60 axles. We’ll actually they are Chrysler 9.25” which is/was Rams equivalent to a D60. The TRX from what I have seen from other KZread videos is a Dana 80 like the Ram HD trucks, but it has been customized for higher ground clearance and to accommodate those beastly shocks. I live in south Florida and guys are driving these around instead of lambo’s now. I love it!

    They would have to upgrade the Dana 60 rear end to run it in 2wd. The power output of the engine is too close to the maximum that the Dana 60 can handle. That is why the Dana 60 is only used as a front axle on the HD diesels.
