I borrowed a TRX and hated it for all the wrong reasons...

- A LONG time ago, a good friend of mine let me borrow a TRX. I finally decided to post footage from my "extended" test drive.
Its easily the best truck I have ever driven in every way and I hate it!
Truth is, the TRX is an engineering masterpiece and such a fun truck to drive. The biggest thing I hate is that I cannot justify owning this as our family truck. Its too much fun and I'd have too many speeding tickets.

Only major problem....is that I LOVE my ramboxes. Not an option for the trx. It's a great truck just out of my price range.
Rambox are great. I use them all most all of the time on my 2019 Rebel. And yes love the Hemi.... TRX.
Same. The widebody needs the rambox. Plus they need to add a bed outlet WITH ramboxes so I can charge things while I drive.
This is why i went with a rebel and not rhe trx, mpg. I dont drive fast and mostly all my offroading is slow soeeds not desert running. But im down for a v6 trx cause now i can get better tires.
personally love the shifter
Great review! I know you from the forums. I loved your take on the aux switches. Now that I see what can be done through the infotainment system in regards to the aux switch, it makes me wish they all had that option. I bet over 90% of people would add this to their build sheet. Its a no brainer
Also, what did you think of the paddle shifters? I think they look awesome, but wonder if I would ever use them
I used the paddle shifters once on the TRX and the novelty wore off pretty quickly. I have them now in my Raptor and I barely use them.
Lucky you. Can I meet your friend 😂
Great video! I love the TRX, but like you said, it's wide and would be difficult to maneuver in some places, but would love to have one as a fun vehicle! As a previous Hellcat owner, I understand how you feel about the power and sound! Just can't be beat! I really miss it for sure! Can we expect a Rebel supercharger, or procharger install video in the future? We would love it! Keep up the great content!
I’m not sure I’d go with an sc a wide body fiberglass kit would be cool but to be honest, I’m kinda maxed out on the Rebel so starting to consider what’s next as far as truck platform
I had 2 TRX's.. loved them but always worried about them either getting stolen, or damaged.. i have a regular 1500 now . The ONLY thing i miss is rhe 300 more HP
It’s so fun that hp is $$$
C'mon bro I came from a 19 Limited and absolutely hated the dial shifter. Nothing feels better than laying your arm on the armrest and hand on the shifter
Not when you have paddle shifters and 702 hp to play with.
You don't like the best feature, the center console shifter? I just found your channel I want to like it so bad but what..? 😢
The best feature is the super charger…
Only shifters in the TRX I like are the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel.
Towing capacity is what killed it for me 😢
Price tag too lol.
I really really wish I could get the OEM upfitter aux switches for my 5th gen. I looked into adding the OEM switches from the 2500 into my 1500 but it was very costly and was worried about possible problems. I think for EVERY modern vehicle with any sort of offroad package, it should be STANDARD to have upfitter switches
The upfitter set up is amazing on the Trx’s
hey, its only 100k truck, you''ll need to pay 180k for all those things you mentioned lol
beautiful truck tho, way to much money
Very true
You hit it right on the money. Many people asked me why i decided to put almost 20k into a regular ram laramie… why not get a TRX… well i got a good discount on mine instead of paying 10k over sticker back in 2021 and lifted on 35” tires im getting 14mpg in the city 18mpg on the hwy all day long and thats on 87 octane fuel. Between gas and insurance costs i save thousands. The ugly truth about fast cars is that no matter how fast the car is, you will get used to it and it will no longer seem fast to you in a matter of months. Plus after driving a TRX, my Laramie with a BDS lift kit using fox 2.5 dsc shocks is far more comfortable and usable every day. Ram needed to make a TRX with the 6.4 non supercharged version, cut the price by 15k and stop dealers from overcharging
Great review, agree on the shifter, I think they went with it for those macho types who demanded a console shifter (i.e. GT package), also the Alcantara arm rest, don't like my sweaty elbow and arm staining it. The width is an issue for sure, I drove TRX in the Philippines a few months ago, afraid to hit so many things. My Rebel is already almost too big for many places these days. Mpg not too bad, my Rebel barely gets better for just 395hp.
Alcantara doesn’t hold up well but honestly it’s a great truck
@@WaterFowler41no doubt, maybe I'll try to get a used one one day.
lol currently on the search for a used raptor
@@WaterFowler41or that, honestly I feel the TRX may be too much of a good thing, I think the V6 Raptor MKII or V8 Raptor MKI is more balanced, but we'll see how I feel in a few years 😊
