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.

when you finished by saying (and I'm paraphrasing) "if this had existed 30 years ago, it'd be your pinup car" I completely agree... for years my bucket list would have included some sort of italian hypercar for fun and a big US truck for function... now - a TRX does both.

Thanks for this video and for the guts to talk about what is real fun of driving a car, V8 power … music to my ears. All this talk about renewables, a very one sighted approach: where do ‘dead’ batteries end up, where does the charging power comes from, what do we need for resources before you have build one EV! These are only a few things in ‘favour’ (being sarcastic) for buying an EV. Bring back the fun in driving, let’s get back our history, our love for driving! Thanks for your enthusiasm in presenting this REAL car, an absolute pleasure to watch.

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 KZfaq 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.
