I have one. First ever. I’ve always had GMC & Chevrolet. So far, the only thing I don’t like is insurance prices. A 2016 Ram is much more expensive than a loaded 2018 Grand Cherokee Unlimited, and any Wrangler or other pickup I’ve ever owned.

This truck is insane and it’s getting a lot of praise for the suspension, but I’m not 100% sold on it. Just so much going on that’s electrical that I can’t imagine what a nightmare it’ll be.

It really is a badass truck and I can't wait for the Raptor. I was thinking possibly Bronco is a couple years but a 700hp Raptor blew that choice out of the water.
Oh, and extended warranty for either is an absolute must!

I'll keep my Raptor if I can ever get it back.
I wanna see the TRX in the Baja1000. In 2016 when the Gen 2 Raptor launched, they drove a basically stock Raptor with only the required safety things they had to have in it. Finished 3rd and then loaded up their gear in it and drove it home. RAM has a chance to show off what it can do, baja 1000 is coming up on Nov 17. Will they enter?
I mean a 700hp Raptor would be fun and it could be coming soon... Bubba....

That Dodge will lose around 40% of its resale value and make it about 12.6 miles into the 1000 before the doors rattle off it. Then at MM 14..... Kaboom LOL!

Hey now, the same guys engineered our Jeeps.
And Other than the lockers, that gladiator finished the hammers stock. A little beat up, but it finished.
I do believe that RAM, and dodge for that matter, have really stepped up in quality in the latest generation of the line up. That Ram of mine in quality and spec will hands down out tow and preform over the fords and GMs in the same class. We’ll see if that’s true in the Offroad segment with the TRX. I really do hope they run the 1000 with one. I see a bunch of them running around my area right now testing and they are Mean looking and stout at hell in the front end components. As they should be for 112K

I agree they have came a long ways in the last decade or so. And I have always loved the Cummins diesel. Its was always badass powerplant inside a shitty truck.
I am glad they came out with it, as completion is always good. It usually drives quality up and prices down.
I love my Raptor. At first when I got my gen 2 I felt like they took one of my nuts when they went with the V6. But the Ecoboost is a very stout little guy. Had 450hp and 510ft/lbs from the factory and can get up to 18 mpg. Put a little tune and some add ons and you close to 500 at the wheels.
Then blow your motor and go stupid and get 650/650 to the wheels. And still be under the 112k price tag of the Rebel with a Hellcat... I mean TRX

yeah the Cummins and Aisan were the main reasons I went to Ram in the beginning. They are a beast of a combination. All the fit and finish they’ve added in the generation is icing on the cake. But the ecoboost will never sound as good as a super charged 6.2 [emoji106]

Thats a fact!! I traded in a Gen 1 Raptor for the Gen 2. I had headers and Corsa exhaust. It was
music to my ears coming out. Im sure the TRX will sound amazing too. But I guess the guy in the TRX behind me can tell me how my Ecobeast sounds after I stop. Haha

Damn right!! Haha. Im sure the TRX will be an awesome truck on the street but time will tell how it handles the dirt. But then again what percentage of owners uses the Raptor like it was made for. Not very many including me but I'm going to start trying to use it more and more.
