2021 Ram 1500 TRX | Automotive Absurdity
Рет қаралды 455,954
3 жыл бұрынThe old Chrysler group is a special kind of crazy. Whether it’s building cars specifically for the drag strip or fitting a family 3-row with a 710 horsepower V8, Dodge, Jeep and Ram do not follow industry norms, which is music to the ears of car lovers everywhere and it’s how we get to drive a truck like this; a 702-horsepower 1500 designed to eat the outdoors for lunch. This is the new Ram TRX.
MSRP as-tested: $87,870

Steve great review as always. Been watching your car reviews for years now. Great honest reviews aside, i have to say i love the power and usage of the english language/ paraphrases in your reviews. You have great command over the language and know what words to appropriately slide at the right time, all so flawlessly which make the review so much entertaining to watch. We need more auto review journalists like you. Been a fan for years. Keep up the great work my friend! :)

I'm a Ford guy through and through. With that said, I'm so glad the Ram TRX is this good. T his level of competition will keep Ford on their A-game. In fact I wish Nissan, Chevy, and Toyota would get into the off road super truck space because competition breeds excellence. Some of that tech will also filter down into trucks that mere mortals can afford. As and example, I offer hill decent control. Hill decent control first appeared in ford trucks with the Gen1 Raptor, Now you can check that box in regular F150 4x4's. The raptor will always be my favorite truck in the world. With that said, great job Ram. Keep your foot on the gas, never let up, and keep the blue oval boys on their A-game.

That’s a perfect truck to haul a bed full of squirrels . I host squirrel cage matches and it’s the perfect amount of speed to escape the law when they bust my underground squirrel wrestling I hold downtown in various alleys . I’d get mine in Elmo red or Cookie Monster blue though . Folding the back seats up with the ice chest and plug is perfect for me to plug in a deep fryer full of hot oil and have some cold drinks to sell out the back window as a semi legal food truck .
