My favorite truck of all time! What do you guys think of it? 🤔
Liked the zr2 better
I wish I could say the same. The ZR2 is a really awesome truck but man… this thing is just better in every way.
Yea, that trx is amazing! I really loved that zr2 you had. You have an awesome fleet!.
Appreciate it man!!
I love what you did with it and I feel exactly the same about my TRX
Justin, we need more TRX content from you!! I had been waiting for this review. Thanks!!
I have more to come!
Justin, great review as always! Been following your mods and its nice to see your summary over the past 2 years! I have a 2023 TRX myself and have done some mods to it and I LOVE it! Thanks again for the review!!
I appreciate that!! Love the truck so stay tuned for future videos!!
Great video as always, please keep the vids coming. I also HAD the drive shaft clunk, dealership completed the boot/grease repair and told me it wouldn't last and they were correct. They did state that they had to do step "A" before moving on to step "B". "B" included a newly designed driveshaft which they had in-stock and had it installed in an hour. I can tell you, 4k miles later the truck still drives smoother than silk. Such a different driving experience without that clunk. Maybe something to check out in your area.
How long ago did you have that done? Do you happen to have the part number for the new driveshaft?
Hey David u would also be interested in knowing of the part number if you have it my dealer has replaced my driveshaft 2 times already 😅 so far no clunk but will find out after a month or so I have a 2023
Had is installed Nov. 17th, let me see if I can get a part number. I asked what was different and was told the spines on the slip yolk were redesigned. @@HorsePowerObsessed
Looking forward to that part number as well. I have 3600 miles on mine and clunk is definitely noticeable.
What year did the new designed drive shaft come out ?
Great video, spot on! I came out of a 2nd gen Raptor to a 2022 TRX level 2 and absolutely love it.
Thanks!
Curious. What is your positives or main things you admire most from the Raptor to the TRX? I like them both but by far prefer the TRX hands down. 👍
@@ramrider1453 The number one thing in my opinion is the fit and finish the TRX has over the Raptor.
glad we got a new TRX video
More coming soon!
Yes, very happy with my 23 TRX. Definitely happy to have ordered mine in January of 23 and picked it up in Iowa in October. I will keep this truck forever. I could not agree with more with your video. Too bad you are not out West, I would take my truck to your shop for PPF and tint.
I agree, favorite truck or vehicle in general that I’ve ever owned. I usually get bored with trucks after a couple years and trade them in for something else. Not the case with this truck, I won’t ever sell this thing. Awesome truck. Luckily I read about the driveshaft clunk before I got the truck. Greased it from new and have never had the clunk. Suggest changing your oil more often than 5k miles. These motors are hard on oil and my oil analysis results have shown the same so I do 3k and redline oil now.
I have a '23 RAM 3500 and a '21 Challenger Hellcat Redeye. If I had to choose, i think I'd keep the truck and not the HC. Great review.
Totally agree! Thank you!
Im with you, I like the split cluster as well, my wife's Grand Cherokee has the fully digital cluster, and it just doesnt have the same "feel/appeal" that you get with a full sweep gauge.
💯
Excellent video man! Love what you've done to your truck. Having recently driven a '22 for a video on my channel, I can say without hesitation that the TRX is easily my dream truck! Now, about those winning lotto numbers...
Thank you!
Love the video! Thanks for the content 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ford had that issue years ago when I worked at the dealer. I remember removing driveshafts and greasing the splines to rectify the clunk. Always came back though.
I can’t believe that there isn’t a permanent fix for something like this
I have a white 2022 Trx group 2 and i love it !! I have the borla exhaust on mine and some similar mods like yours . I plan on going to e85 and changing pulleys plus bigger ram air intake and tune .
Sounds great! Gotta love these trucks!
Awesome review just got my 2021 and it’s freaking awesome! I love it and it came with the Awe exhaust and extremely pleased with gotta find a senior TRX owner in Ga got so many questions lol but yeah very please with my truck
Oh it’s an amazing machine for sure!! Congrats!
@@HorsePowerObsessed thanks it really is amazing machine yeah that gas mileage ain’t good but hey 😂 you get what you get with this cause I don’t think they will build a over built truck like this ever again
@craig5010 definitely never again. This is the last of its kind.
Great review! The width for parking, drive throughs and construction zones is rough. Luckily, I don't have the drive shaft clunk yet. My TRX is Hydro Blue and I like the matching door handles and the analog dash on the 2022. I too would probably drive away in the TRX, but it would be tough leaving the Hellcat and C8 ZO6 behind.
Thank you! I am hopeful that a fix for the driveshaft clunk comes soon but we'll see!
Hellcat, what kind of mileage have you got on the TRX now and how has it treated you so far?
I live 5 blocks from work so it's low miles at about 6500. Its been an awesome truck. I love the comfort and the bad ass feeling it gives driving it @@ramrider1453
I really enjoyed the video. I also have a 22 TRX and I picked mine up on 4/6/22. I have seen some comments that the rear door lights are missing, did you experience this? I do have the drive-shaft clunk but haven't had it fixed. Thank you again for what you do.
Yes I experienced the same. I added the rear lights in though. Check it out here: kzhead.info/sun/mNxvf82Bgox7ips/bejne.htmlsi=qugLJJHNgpkJKFem
I will go ahead and look at that video. I also liked the video where you hot wired your radar detector. Even though I like Corvettes, I look forward to your TRX vide4os. Thank you.
Justin great review and the truck looks awesome..
Thank you!
Justin, love your detail and that TRX. What a Beauty.
Thank you!!!
Wow Justin! I can’t believe it’s been 2 years already. That’s crazy! How time flies.
Right?!
Many smiles every time I drive my 22 TRX. So glad I locked one up before the price increases. Looking to do some upgrades this year (air intake, exhaust, wheels, etc.). Year-round sports car, off roader, light truck stuff, V8 goodness...
100% agree!!
I own a 2021 tier 2 as well and you are 100 % correct as it does everything. What more could you want and rediculous 😂. Great review and thanks . Oh yes I have the driveline bump as well but my dealer put the grease and boot but 4 months in same problem . Last visit they took driveshaft off and pumped the slip and fixed the problem . I have a case file on this matter with ram and waiting .ive had no oil issues and keep everything stock as no need to spend more money on perfection
Thank you!! I appreciate the feedback!
There dropping in price Im for sure going to Cop soon🙏🏼
Beautiful truck nice job talking about it love it
Thanks 👍
Currently looking at trucks and specifically 3rd gen Raptors or trx. I would be looking at pre owned. What do you think is too many miles buying used? 30k or 40k? I've owned a few vettes in the past and loved them but mostly garage queens unless real nice weather.
Best one is the Lunar 23, then Demonic Red 24 and Harvest Orange 24 ❤
Can't believe it's been 2 years already~!
It's not
Thank you for this great review ! I just wanted to ask if there are any issues with the bed cover - vs. - the RAM bar. I've heard that it collides with each other and the RAM bar needs to be adjusted a bit in order to fit them both ...?
You're welcome! No there is no issue at all as long as you buy the one I linked here: bit.ly/421mfcS
@@HorsePowerObsessed Thank you ! I still haven't decided on whether to pick the manual or the motorized one. I'm thinking about all the pros and cons ...
Great video Brother. Also very nice truck.
Thank you!
I installed the Ripatuned/East Coast driveline drive shaft and no clunk on my 23 TRX. No gauge cluster issues here. I do have the left turn signal non-canceling issue where the left turn signal doesn’t stop after making a left turn. Dealer ordered me a new multifunction switch but it’s on backorder.
I haven't heard of that issue before but good to know! I'm curious how that new driveshaft will hold up after some mileage and some time. How many miles do you have on that new driveshaft now?
I have about 4,000 miles on the new driveshaft. So far so good!
My "Differential Clunk" was pronounce and Dodge replaced my entire rear end at 15,000. I have the 21 model. Love it!!!! I have noticed the "Clunk" is coming back off and on...so we will see?
Everything I’ve read says it’s the driveshaft?
That may be what I have going on now? When I took it in because of my original clunk, they pulled the diff drain plug and there was significant metal in the fluid so they just replaced the rear end. When I go back in I will definitely mention it may be the drive shaft this go round?
@warrenwilson8398 interesting… I’ll have to see now which one it is!
I’m all about GM. But I’d take one of these in a heartbeat!
My thoughts exactly!
Nice Video. This is my Absolute Dream Truck i Dont think anyone on this earth wants this Truck as bad As i do. I've been watching content on it everyday since it came out years ago. I Pray God blesses me with one Someday (hopefully sooner than later) lol. I Agree with everything you said, because it is just everything you'd ever want in a Truck or Vehicle and does so much. i just really hope i get one soon
Thank you. It is an awesome vehicle and I hope you get to experience it someday too! If you are close to me here in PA I'd gladly take you for a ride!
@@HorsePowerObsessed aw man that would be great but unfortunately I live in Georgia 🥲 I would love a ride. I’ve sat in one time because I went to a local dealership and acted like I could afford it lol but hopefully someday.
If you're ever in this area hit me up, man!
@@HorsePowerObsessed will do my guy 🙏🏿 appreciate it so much. I’ll try to manifest a TRX in my life on the mean time haha.
I have 2 main problems with my TRX the uconnect is the worst I have ever had and I had multiple dodge and ram vehicles. Eg. When listening to the radio if I make a phone and hang up the radio won’t play. I have to turn off the radio and on for it to play. I also had the drive shaft clunk and twice took it back to the dealer and finally it’s fixed. I hope it doesn’t come back again. Also the driver side mirror wasn’t defrosting and the dealer changed it 3 times and still doesn’t work.
I'd love to have one of these trucks to go with my C8 Z06. I think we have similar tastes, and I'd really like to have a 2019 ZR1. The more HP the better!
Great minds think alike!!
Haha, you got that right! @HorsePowerObsessed
I bought a 2023 model; the Only reason I haven't made it into Hennessey 1000 is, I don't want a Truck that gets 6-7 mpg. 702hp-is plenty and 15-16 mpg for such a big V8 isn't too bad. Plus insurance.
@JWilson-up2eu 💯
Beautiful Truck Hope to buy a used one 1 day. Can't afford new.
Thank you!! They are out there for great prices nowadays!
My favorite truck🎉❤️❤️❤️
Mine too!
What options do you need for the ditch lights and does it come with the brackets you need? There’s quite a few options to choose from. Did you have to do anything to fit the bed cover with the rambar?
I go over all of the ditch light info here including where to buy the ditch lights and the brackets: kzhead.info/sun/adF-lpmQmqyflIU/bejne.htmlsi=wROHLTPAkidRTwM8 And all of the bed cover info here including a link to where to buy it: kzhead.info/sun/ft2JoZWZbmufo40/bejne.htmlsi=tyCWFdeP-8cRWBrL
@@HorsePowerObsessed appreciate the help!
Ripatune has a driveshaft to fix the clunk , do lower pulley before doing upper. Check options
I want to believe in that mod but I'm just not seeing why theirs is different. I want to give it some time to see if it really does fix it long term or not.
@@HorsePowerObsessed i get it. Can’t wait to see some more mod videos of the TRX . I have followed your lead on a few Thanks
Thank YOU!!
Man you’re lucky. This has been my dream truck ever since RAM showed their very first try concept. I’ll never be able to afford one though and now they’re being discontinued with some spy videos of the hurricane in-line 6 concept sounding like a weed eater just like the v6 raptor. I want one so badly!!!!
They are amazing trucks and I am definitely blessed! I’m sure you could get one some day if you work hard, anything is possible!
If I work hard, will they make 2025 model 🤠
Hey man i also have a trx and had the issue with the driveshaft took it in to the dealer they have replaced the driveshaft 2 times so far im curious if now they put the updated one havent had issues but the first time it was changed was fine for a while and then clunked again but its under warranty so i recommend taking it in soon
I will be talking about it soon with them so its documented but as far as I can tell, there still isn't a permanent fix.
Can't wait to hear all about it thank you 🙏
I am not seeing the black skid plate in the description will you please show me where?
Black skid plate part number - 5ZB47GXHAA
The clunk isn't specific to the TRX. My wife's scatpack did that. Also, I haven't had any issues with my screen yet. I have a 2024 TRX. I'll keep an eye out now.
That sucks. I can't believe they haven't figured out a way to fix this yet.
How come you opted for the Rambar if you aren't going to run anything on it? Or do you plan to and just haven't gotten there yet?
I want to eventually run lights on it. My problem is it won't fit where I park it if I do... 🤔
Where do I find the black skid plate?
At the dealership. Black skid plate part number - 5ZB47GXHAA
An absolutely great looking truck! Keep up the “ridiculous” content! 😉
Thanks! Will do!
@@HorsePowerObsessed Awesome! That TRX is too much truck for me. I’m going to stay on the porch with my little 2024 Ram 1500 Limited 😂. Got it back in January and I’m still getting use to it. Great job again. I know filming & editing content isn’t easy.
I appreciate it, my friend!
Man I gotta ask what you do for a living. I don’t know if you’ve talked about it in other videos, but I hadn’t seen it if you have😂
Full time KZhead as of March 2020 and I own a detailing business.
I got my 2023 truck for 11k under MSRP which is 94k and now dealers here in Hawaii asking to buy for 135k I don’t wanna sell because they are going for over 160k here now.
Yeah the prices now are insane.
WOW!
😂 Justin No Prius driver would ever drive one of those. Remember they're saving the plant and just being in the way for the rest of the drivers.
😂😂😂
Does the tazer present a risk of damaging the truck and or cancelling the warranty?
No. Worst case, you just remove it. Nothing is permanent.
Looking to purchase one
I would highly recommend it!
What do you do to keep it from being stolen? A lot of them are being stolen. And I’m considering getting one but don’t want it stolen. Unfortunately will not fit in my garage.
Go with an IGLA with a Compustar T13 or a Ravelco with a T13. These units are great and have a proven track record. I have the IGLA on my TRX and I cannot complain.
We have them in Australia now Wow!!! $250,000 Dollars !!! Half a House.
What taillights do you have
Stock tail lights tinted.
Can't spend that kind of money for the TRX so got the Rebel. What is your opinion of the Rebel been a poor man's TRX?
Not at all. The Rebel is an awesome truck too!!
I'm guessing that the cost of insurance on it is as you say.........RIDICULOUS!!! 🤪
It's not horrible. On my plan it's around 700 a year.
@@HorsePowerObsessed Wow! That's definitely cheaper than what I pay for insurance
what occupation would i have to do to afford this? what do you do?
I am a full time KZheadr and I also have a detail shop in south Florida.
@@HorsePowerObsessed Looks like you get your grind on and work hard everyday. These KZhead videos aren’t just slapped together and it takes hours to edit them properly so content is desirable. So thanks for the awesome content! 👍🏾
Wow love truck but the price of the Truck well You're right its ridiculous
It seems that way with everything nowadays
if you can afford a 100k truck. you can afford 125 dollar fill up. 🤣
Yup! 👍👍
I'm a GM guy, but I have to admit this thing is.....ridiculous. I can't wait for GM to come with the Meteors (which is basically official).
Agreed. I haven't heard anything about those being official, where did you hear that?
11:27 what’s that cable at the lower part of the bed ?
It’s just a bungee cord.
Pahingi naman isa nyan☺
Use some gas with my hemi to
"What do you guys think of it? 🤔"... I think the TRX is a badass glorified 1500. But my High output Cummins 3500 Mega cab Limited is better in every way I need and want a truck. TRX is not ideal for towing your Vettes from South Florida to PA and back. The RPM's will be pinging the whole way and you will have to stop every hour to fill'er up! Every friend that I know that has had a TRX traded it in for a diesel. Fun video though. And I'm happy you're happy but for what they cost you can buy a real truck to do real truck things. You should ask your buddy Josh if you can do a video on his RAM 2500. Park it next to your TRX and see the difference. 👍
Unfortunately, I drove his 2500 and absolutely hated it. No power, no presence, just not for me. I’ve towed with my truck already and the rpm was definitely not pinging off redline. The 2500 definitely tows more but it used a lot of diesel to do that too. You’re stopping about the same amount with either towing a vette.
@@HorsePowerObsessed Interesting. My C8 weighs around 3400 (I think..) the car hauler it goes in weighs around 3000. I towed it to Big Willow from Las Vegas 80mph 2000 rpm's the whole way with no fuel stops. My racing buddy had a TRX pulling his C8 on an open trailer and had to refuel going there and coming back. And he was crying I was driving too fast. He sold the TRX and got a GMC 2500. I couldn't even feel the 6000 pounds I was pulling.
I am getting my TRX end of March 2024 (yes still the V8), just to piss off all the snowflakes in the area of Europe where I live. I love the TRX, unfortunately a dino just like me, an outdying species, but before we leave earth, we leave a giant carbon footprint, which I am proud of, ,stop breathing all you carbon emitting live forms, lol! TRX all the way, God bless the V8!
It's my Z06 Truck, just not a convertible- It's my daily driver till the cybertruck drops then she'll get parked
these "toys" are like a harley/corvette etc...if you have to borrow $$ to get it, skip it!!
11k miles in two years? You sure you owned that truck?
🤦♂️
Trx over Raptor R, easily.
100% agree!
I make money but what the hell
What do you mean?
Leave it to Dodge to kill off the V8 TRX, and all the other great vehicles. They are trying to push the Hunk of Shit Dodge Hornet...LOL. What a joke that vehicle is. I just purchased a new 2023 Ram 2500 Power Wagon in Badazz Olive Green Pearl with option 2 package. They took $15,670 off the MSRP. After my trade in, I financed $41K. Perfect.
I'm not a fan of Dodge in general but the TRX is just so awesome. Now that they are killing off the Hellcat engine and the TRX in general, I'll go back to never looking at them.
too much truck, for me
tTake off your sunglasses when you present something that is polite to the spectators
Sunglasses are often worn for a number of reasons in videos like this. It helps your audience focus on what is being presented instead of paying attention to the persons eyes. Not everyone is comfortable on camera and wandering eyes can be a distraction to many.
Take off your sunglasses when you comment something. It’s polite to the video creator.
Ridiculous
Indeed! 😎
