Here's why the TRX is Better than ALL other Hellcats
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2024
- I tell you why I feel that the Ram 1500 TRX is the best Hellcat powered vehicle that Mopar has made to date. There are so many unique features to the TRX which make it truly special. Which hellcat do you like the best?

This is one of the most unique, well balanced and badass vehicles on the road
37,000 miles on a trx so far, it is my favorite vehicle I have ever had. Cross county or cross town its perfect for me.
I test drove a Hennessey Mammoth TRX with over 1000 HP (couldnt pull the trigger on $146k) in march and its so nice. If you look at the TRX and the Ford Raptor you would think they are competing for the same space but TRX is a completely different level. Great review.
Since they dropped the Raptor from the SVT lineup & put that Eco-boost V6 in it, it's been a joke! Nothing more than a trim package on the F-150.
@@DJGRoc Yeah I always wanted one and then by the time I was in position to buy one it was a V6 😭
Thanks for doing this video, I agree with you on all points, but I use my TRX as a daily driver, and drive it conservatively most of the time and have achieved a 14.6 MPG average! I have to admit this vehicle feels so good to own, and it’s my first Mopar. Thanks again for the video, you hit the nail right on the head. 👍
Eco mode is our best friend during these times lol, literly aveaging 13 to 14mpg then i get a little crazy here and there and back in single digits lol
I almost bought one but shyed away with fear of the fuel economy.
I would be daily driving mine as well but that actually doesn't sound too bad.
I average 17 - 18 in my Ram 1500 5.7.
@@brewaire i might be wrong but i atleast have noticed that hellcat doesnt produce boost in eco unless you floor it, my guess bypass Throttle body stays open and acts N/A?
So if its N/A ish in eco its smaller CI then the 392 but bigger then the 5.7
Idk how bad the parasidic loss is with the SC still being spun even if it has a clutch but if i didnt have moments of rage on the road i think id forsure be over 15
@@leopapio683 thanks for your input. I appreciate it.
I’m gonna buy one SOON
Beast of a truck. Had 6 rams and loved them all. So imagine the TRX is like winning the lottery.
Just picked up my Hydroblue TRX last month. I love this truck!!!
Awesome review! There's no doubt that the TRX is one of the most badass trucks on the market! I hope one day you'll be able to get a chance to own one of these very special trucks!
They absolutely are 👍
i agree TRX nation, 638 wheel currently
Since you mention off reading, this is my favorite off road vehicle for sure
That's what it was designed for! Going fast off road!
GREAT video, RacerX! You know how to pack the most into an 11-minute video. LOVE the black.
I just got my TRX on 9/7/22 and I could not be happier. Only about 150 miles and one car show so far, but man is she fantastic.
I parked her at the show diag in 2 spaces and my friend is like....one space....park like a normal person. I'm like...it's a TRX
SHE GETS TWO SPACES! OMG what a truck. Remember, if you can't Dodge it.....RAM it!
I traded 2 Hellcats for my TRX & I regret nothing!😃
I have a Ram 1500 and a Challenger T/A 6.4.
I was thinking about trading in my vehicles as well.
I put about 25,000 miles a year on my Ram 1500 so I was reluctant to buy the TRX.
Especially now with gas prices.
Can you give an opinion if you had to put a lot of miles on the TRX?
@@brewaire Hey great point to consider. I don’t have a very long commute each day a mix of Highway and some stop and go. I might hit 10,000 miles a year. The TRX is fantastic and I am consistently getting between 11.0 and 11.4 miles per gallon regardless of drive mode. That is with me driving responsibly but if I wanna hit the gas and takeoff I do so. My other vehicle is a 2018 ram 3500 Cummins that is stock and although diesel prices are high if I ever got my back against the wall it gets better mileage. Both diesel and premium are currently around $5.35 or so here in Kentucky. Bottom line: with today’s crazy used car market you might be able to come close to a TRX with little or anything owed or at least not very much owed. I would consider some form of backup economy type vehicle however if the TRX were my only vehicle and I was committed to a large amount of miles annually. I honestly think today’s prices and inflation are going to be part of the new normal for quite a while and we have not even got to the worst of it yet. Yes the TRX is fantastic and if you can do it, do so. My hellcats we’re wonderful 2016 units challenger and charger. They were paid off so I got 50,000 apiece on trade-in and walked out of the door with a TRX. But again were that my “only“ vehicle, it is only the short commute to work that would carry the day for me. I hope that’s helpful and feel free to respond! 😃
@@leonardrice2830 awesome reply Len, exactly the feedback I was looking for.
Thanks and take care.
@@brewaire rumor has it that they’re going to put another setting in it to send most if not all power to just rear tires. Even if it’s 80/20 or 90/10 instead of 100% then the gas mileage should get a little better not being AWD all the time. Sick burnouts too.
I just can’t do that. I’m too attached to my Durango Hellcat and Charger Hellcat (50th anniversary) both are basically limited addition. So I’m just banking money and basically waiting to hear them say they’re putting the redeye engine in it and I’ll go broke getting it. I plan on having it forever so just hoping for the redeye engine for the stronger parts-not so much the horsepower. I almost traded the Charger Hellcat in on it but my wife and kids freaked out or cried and wouldn’t let me. I would’ve chickened out anyway. So now I’m just committed to being broke for awhile to get it. C’mon Dodge do the Redeye engine in it!!
I agree with you. It is so nice! Thank you for the great video.
I sure do love trx but still rather own a Durango, charger,challenger or a track hawk due to I have a one ton to do my heavy towing but awesome content RACER-X and as always be safe 👍
I saw one of these tailgating me when I was in my Mustang the other day. That is one mean looking truck. I wish you could still buy one RacerX!
Me too my friend
LOVED the review brother!!!! You’re DEFINITELY 1 of 3 of my favorite You Tubers!!!!!
Thank you Todd
Awesome video R-X. Beautiful truck.
Awesome review Racer X 👍👍 I'm hoping after the new raptor comes out the TRX will have the redeye 🙏🙏 I believe many people will just on that TRX-R with 807 😎 Go out with a bang I say
The TRX is only limited because of the tires. I’ve seen a dude hit 150 on RUclips with the governor removed, but probably could’ve gone faster.
Great video X! Hopefully you’ll get a TRX soon! 😎👍
Great stuff. It truly is the greatest truck ever built.
I have seen one in person and yes it is big, wide and tall. It's a beautiful truck, my only complaint with the one I saw was after the Ram Bar on the back and the tire mounted on top of the bed left very little usable bed room.
That's an option package. You don't have to get that or the Ram bar even.
I’m debating between getting a TRX or a C8 corvette. I’m leaning towards the TRX because I already have a Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep all I need is a RAM 😂
Why not both 😂 I’ve been eyeing a ram 1500 rebel because I can’t afford trx yet but still want that badass look
awesome content buddy.👍💪🔥
Hi Paul, I just wanted to touch base with you to tell you that I just subscribed to your channel after watching you on BOS's channel. Well done sir with your Mustang build. Well done indeed! Save the Wave 🙋♂
I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND KNOWLEDGE ON ALL THIS. I WATCH ALL YOU VIDEOS. JUST WISH YOU WERE STILL DRIVING THAT HELLCAT BRO. 😆
Much appreciated.. ya never know what I'm going to do next
I have one of these and it has been the best driving vehicle I've ever owned
Nice one RacerX, the TRX made Ford go back to to a V8 on the Rapter R coming out with the GT500 motor package.
I didn't think they would but Dodge made them do it. Looks like a very nice riding truck, it's a shame you couldn't get
yours.
I am extremely happy that Dodge shamed Ford into brining back a V8 raptor. They claimed for years that buyers didn't care and everyone was more than happy with the ecoboost. Turns out not everyone (including myself) wants a V6 performance oriented vehicle.
Repping the OCmotivator shirt all day - good for you!
That's a badass Truck! Good to see you back in a Dodge!
I have a 23 on order. Cannot wait!
Great video and I agree.
i average 12.4- and im tuned and a heavy foot ;) 13 is the best ive got so far- street mode
You doing better than me lol 😂
I use to have an 2021 hellcat redeye charger as my first mopar vehicle. Then I order an 2022 ram TRX. Waited 8 months and put 12k miles on the charger. When my TRX arrived I traded my charger hellcat redeye and I surely believe the TRX is an overall better vehicle in and out. I’m keeping my Ram 1500 TRX and also I have a 2015 Nissan GTR as my sport car. I’m satisfied✌️
I have a 2021 Hellcat Redeye Charger and a 2022 TRX. Woot woot!
It's an amazing pickup truck which will likely continue due to the different government regulations pickup trucks have over the other Hemi vehicles. That's why Ford is introducing the Raptor R that uses the GT500 engine. I recently decided with $60,000 + EVs being pushed by our government along with the crazy high prices for performance vehicles. For those reasons along with the crazy record high gas prices and record inflation. I'll keep my 2018 Chrysler 300C with only 23,000 miles and not have a $800 and higher vehicle payment for vehicles like the TRX, Black Wing and GT500. RacerX. I said this before, I'll continue to enjoy these fantastic performances vehicle through your informative videos while test driving some of these vehicles at local dealerships. Thanks and keep those reviews coming.
Do you plan on reviewing the Raptor R when it comes to market? Also love the content!
Yes when I can get one.. I suppose we will see 👍
Dream truck
I just drove from Southern California to the Montana border with Canada and I stayed in the truck for 20 hours. It was the most comfortable vehicle I've ever driven and all of the different things like lane assist, adaptive cruise control, the center stack navigation system, etc. were all perfect! I've driven a LOT of different vehicles long distances, this one was the absolute best of the best. This truck was really thought out and RAM used the best engineers money can afford. Beyond excellent truck!!!!!!!
Between my Hydro TRX and my Z06 Vette Imma smitten kitten in my garage !!! By far the worlds greatest Pickup
Yes sir love it. Hopefully this will be my next vehicle 😎
I drove a TRX from Des Moines to Minneapolis and saw almost 15mpg!! Not bad for what this beast is.. awesome upload X! REMEMBER:) i can get you $9000 off sticker on a TRX.
What kind of pricing are they talking now?
Are you located in Texas?
@@brewaire no they’re do these discounts in Iowa. Hellcats and TRX’s
@@DefinitelyNotYouThankGod What kind of pricing?
Thanks for the reply?
@@brewaire Granger Motors, Iowa. I drove my trade from Phoenix, got $1000 more than offered locally and picked up our factory TRX order. Seamless and they locked in the price (which went up since we ordered end of October 21'.
Nice, I was going to order one back then but the price jumped almost $4-5k I believe.
wish they would have made it in a regular cab like my ram rt.
I think Racer X NEEDS a HellTruck.
You should buy it ✌️👍
Wish I could brother 👍
@@RacerX9 There are some dealers still doing up to 10k off new TRX orders. I’m actually doing this to get into a base model cheap to hopefully upgrade with a JMB 850hp package.
I don’t know how anybody is getting 13 miles to the gallon! I am trying to keep my foot out of my and I am still getting 9 miles to the gallon. It doesn’t matter! It is one of the most enjoyable vehicles I have ever owned! I only have 1200 miles so far. Great video! Thank you
Paul I really would love to see someone MOD a TRX... like others do for speed but the truck to setup to pull!
This is not a pull truck. This is a Baja truck. The 2500 and 3500’s are meant for pulling
@@carguy0389 I think he means for "pulling" a weighted sled.
Like the the tractor and truck pull competitions.
@@carguy0389 this truck has the horsepower,torque,frame to pull heavy with just a little work. It has a Dana 60 rear end too. Even though it’s technically a 1500-it wouldn’t take much to turn into a 2500 or 3500 it has most anything needed. If they put a redeye in this then even more so. I heard they’re going to add another setting in too so that almost all power goes to just the back wheels. That has nothing to do with pulling but takeoffs could be intense with a 80/20 90/10 split and probably get better gas mileage without full AWD all the time.
@@meatball6930 you can easily make it rear wheel
I agree with you about the TRX being the best of the three. I have been bless to have had two of the three ( 2018 Trackhawk and 2021 TRX ) I still have the TRX and most likely keep it for a long time. To me the TRX handles and rides better than the Trackhawk but nowhere near as fast!! Love the interior of these MOPARS. Thank you for your channel. KAT
4:22 - the little loops at bottom of the front seat backs: shotgun shell bandolier?
Just subscribed 🍾 also just got a 08 Jeep SRT8 🏆
Wow that jeep will get R done 🍀 yes subscribe you all 😎✌️
I absolutely love the TRX. Have a Laramie Night Edition now. $100,000 is STEEP!!
Saw one today in a sand color, nice looking truck. Wouldnt buy a regular ram but the trx i would.
I have a 2019 classic short cab square box 5.7 and it's hilarious so fun😆 get R done😎✌️
I do want to do the ripatuned TTRX you should look that up
I have to say, I love my Trackhawk but that might be because at 1100+ hp it is fast enough to surprise most I race (runs 10.2 at 132 mph). That said, I love my TRX and I feel like I drive way more civilized in the TRX as I don't feel the need to push it as much as the Trackhawk. I use my TRX for offroading often so I love both but it depends on where I am going
"Lieutenant Dan, ice cream" 🤣
Bad ass truck
Ice cream truck thought…if mopar made one would they put the Hellcat in it? 😂
I live in the snowbelt, so I just wish I could hemi power in awd (can't afford TRX lol)
Okay just found this video I'm a follower about 3 weeks ago I found a 22 orange TRX I've been looking for a year its a level 2 I traded in my 2020 1320 challenger and 15 Ram ignition orange for this truck The looks I Get and The compliments I get its crazy I'm in NJ I don't think there's another around the area in orange
Love mine
I agree
Agreed, all around the Best & toughest looking Dodge vehicle that serves the greatest flexibility that performs all excellent.
Ty for this video.🤗
~Jennifer~💃
What do you mean “I tried to get this truck”. Keep going and buy the thing. They didn’t stop making it! 😂😁👍🏻
I can’t wait to see it up against the new Raptor R v8.
Okay Racer X...as I had mentioned to you previously, I recently was fortunate enough to acquire a gorgeous Gen V 2014 Viper GTS with 7000 miles. Here is my question to you....would you rather have the TRX...or the Viper? I know it's a tough question but I am very interested in seeing your thoughts and comments on this inquiry. Thanks, Mike
Those are two different monsters 🤔
Viper hands down. No contest.
You’d drive the TRX a hell of a lot more. I have 2 Vipers and a TRX and the TRX just leaves me smiling. My Vipers are great but I feel bad for abusing them, they are kinda tight on the inside and I always worry about them when leaving them in a parking lot for extended periods of time. TRX don’t have to deal with any of that.
@@L8TERG97 "People", whatever kind they are, are starting to get a hate on for nice cars. I don't know how bad it is where you are, but there seems to be the thought out there that you don't deserve what you have!!
The Trx is a great truck and a great hellcat truck vs the other hellcats, it’s a 3 in one with looks and pulling capicity and you got move stuff
Buy it racer x
I am quite happy with my 2020 2500 6.4 4x4 in silver. I would like a winch on it and that will likely happen soon. I bought this truck for it's carrying capacity. Fuel mileage is not much different than the TRX . When I'm not pulling something and carefully driving I have gotten over 15mpg out of it but I generally get about 14. I would definitely love a TRX however I feel like I'm already driving an American dream. We call it BADD MAXX !!!
Love the Power Wagon!!! I'm torn between it & the TRX. 😕
@@DJGRoc yeah, there wasn't a power wagon on the lot when I bought mine. That would have been a great fit for me. Pretty much all I'm missing is the winch.
@@DJGRoc I've had both. Depends on what you're using it for but unless you need to tow I would go TRX
@@2010drive I could still use the TRX to tow my Chally to the strip. 😈
I’m heavily considering this versus a brand new charger hellcat 😢. I can only choose one or the other though 😭
I’m having the same problems. This or Durango hellcat
Trx for me
ah....the trx....most certainly a beast
I'm really starting to love these trucks more and more. I "Just" found out yesterday that Dodge cancelled my order for my 22' Charger Redeye-Jailbreak and it really pissed me TF off that I waited 8 months and they can't even order a 23. Even if they could let me order their talking recklessly about that ol ADM bullshit since they wanna price gouge on the final year cars. I'm not participating in that foolishness and I'm just gonna keep my RT and I might check out a TRX since these are the only Hellcats they can seem to build now. It's pathetic how everything is now and TRXs won't have as much negativity going with it like the Charger/Challengers. Koons CDJR in Tysons Corner VA is showing 35 on deck and they got a nicely loaded black on (equipped identical to this one^^) available now. I might just do it. Surprisingly the insurance quotes I've gotten are waayyy cheaper with the TRX despite it weighing as much as a planet and the fact I can do more dumb shit & shenanigans with a TRX all year round as opposed to the Charger. This might be my next vehicle and I'll just buy a Hellcat Redeye used one day if anyone is willing to sell. TRX has key features the Hellcat Charger doesn't. Better dash, 12" screen, Pano roof, Lane Assist + advanced cruise and a rear seat armrest, basically simple shit every other 100k car in the world has standard that the Charger will never ever have lol.
Racerx in my hero I love him so much I can’t sleep anymore unless I play his videos something about Racerx voice calms me. I have never been so happy iam since I met Racerx. He was going to block me until I explained I was just upset he was not msg me then we worked it out! When i turn 18 I’m going to move that way and follow in his footsteps he is literally so smart when it comes to a ram or raceing others I feel he could be the top dog instead of Big chief or jay jay the boss Racerx is street king

Fabulous truck. I do a lot of high speed driving so a truck doesn't work for me. But it is a fabulous monster!
@ racerx what platform would be your favorite to buy and keep if you had to buy one.
I love the TRX .. I dont know if it would really help the channel though. I really want a C8 Z06 but my dealership now wants a 50k donation to charity for the right to buy it at sticker. So I'm not sure what direction I'm going now. I guess we will see
@@RacerX9 yea I watched your video on that man. It’s ridiculous. I want to get a c8 myself but the price gouging has got to stop. A brand new c8 1lt was like 62k a couple of months ago. You cant find any near that price now. These cars can barely be experienced by consumers because they are making them priced like exotic cars. Not everybody can afford a 100k+ car. Lol.
If only Ram did what Ford and Shelby did when they collabed on the current gen Shelby F150 being the quad cab off road or single cab sport rwd package. I feel the regular cab rwd would average a much better fuel economy.
It aint about fuel economy when you drop 90K on a truck, dude.
I have a gladiator and if they did a 392 or a Hellcat motor in one I would take my Gladiator down and trade it in for a Hellcat Gladiator today
That would be badass if they put the 392 in the Gladiator. They did for the Wrangler, but it's insanely priced! Could always do an engine swap...
You sir, are a genius! That would be awesome.
The Durango Hellcat checks more boxes for me and I believe it to be the best Hellcat. 🙂 * I am very very biased
I WILL GLADLY DAILY DRIVE A TRX RAM THAT GETS 10MPG! THE GOAL IS THE MAMMOTH 1,000 TRX RAM!!!!
This truck is bad ass but way too much money.
I guess that would be a Helliator or a scattiator
Bro my dodge magnum with the hemi and awd it only get 9 in the city!
Yes it is...all day ..
King TRX
There is a red-eye Durango out there but only one.. look it up
Badass vehicle that falls on its face at the high speeds.
How expensive is it
Depending on options, you're looking at ~$110k on average.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👈👍
They did make 1 redeye Durango
They did, the unicorn. But no one can have it. grrrrrrrr
F150 Raptor R gonna give the TRX a run for its money
Looking forward to checking it out
sorry it fell through! would have been awesome
Agreed
Smiles per gallon
Big toy for us!
Dodge Challenger hellcat red eye wide body with ram TRX Interior🤔 I think I’m on to something here
You get the best of both worlds street and off road but it's gone cost you a buck 50 to fill it up in this market it's just a paper weight
🔥🔥🔥💪⬛👍🔥🔥🔥
Baddest factory truck ever made and by far the sexiest....I don't like the looks of the Raptor and doubt the 5.2 will put out the TQ this Hemi will and if they do manage to do that I can see Dodge dropping in the red eye engine...it wouldn't take any modifications to do that at all.
And the basketball players don’t steal them as often
Smaller third row? I didn’t think this had a third row I think you missed spoke

RACERX I WATCH YOU 24/7 I’m your Biggest Fan I would like to donate my check to you or buy 270$ in merchandise my dad has a ram it’s broken down right now lifters gone I’ll never have anything like this I wish but I can live through Racerx and watch his videos thanks man
I'm probably 1 of very few people who was disappointed by the TRX. Mainly cause I figured that it would compete with the F150 Super Snake & not the Raptor.
I feel like this is a slightly dishonest comparison. The TRX is optimized for off-road while the super snake is not, TRX is about 3000 lbs heavier and still beats the super snake off the line. The super snake is also more expensive, you can get into a 900 or 1000hp TRX for the price of the super snake.
@@TK0Tapout Exactly!!! The Super Snake is a street truck, as was the Lightning. Both trucks were built for different purposes. I do wish Ram would've made a street version of the TRX to fill that void that's been there since the SRT-10 Ram was discontinued in what, '08? Funny thing is that a TRX can still outrun the SRT-10 Ram in the quarter.
If God wanted a Truck... it would be a TRX
