Made the mistake of driving in a Ram TRX

I didn’t take either Offroad. But the launch on TRX is insane for a truck. Both are pretty damn sweet. If I had to choose I’d probably choose the TRX.

 

That statement definitely was not meant for you.

Of course.

That’s awesome, bro. Good for you. SR5s are really nice trucks, especially and clean modded one.

 

Yep exactly how I felt. Now I'm ready to take a ride in a Tesla Model S Plaid. Any members close to Palm Springs/Riverside County, hit me up.

 

Daaammmnn. I didn't feel like sitting through that whole video listening to that guy yap. What caused that?

 

There was a Tesla Plaid at Rocky Mtn race week 2.0 a few weeks ago and it was running 9.0x's at over 150mph

 

Insane that you can do that, ride off from the track with no changes, and make a Costco run

 

I’m surprised how much used Raptor prices have fallen.

 

I hear ya, but your comment will either fall on deaf ears, or be rebuffed around here. I get it, it's a Tacoma forum. And that's fine.

But to your comment, my Tacoma came between a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500, and a 2016 Ram 1500. The current truck has 166000 kilometers on it as of this afternoon, and the only non service repair I've had to do to it has been a left front speed sensor, which I also had to replace on the Toyota. Not sure why it's always the front left? LoL! Both of my Dodge/Ram trucks have been nice, reliable vehicle's, knock on wood. And I know I'm not the only one out here who's had this same experience.

 

A lot of people pay cash for raptors and trxs…

 

We've now established two data points. I believe this is enough to prove that the automobile manufacturers are in cahoots.

 

@Mike402 ...


Here's a video of the Tesla Plaid ..

Ya Coyote Works can talk a bit. Good channel though if you like exploring for old pioneer cabins, mines, etc out in Orygun.

Some FCA vehicles spontaneously burst into flames because...FCA quality? I first learned about it when my neighbors RAM caught fire & burnt to the ground in his driveway. Nearly burnt down his damn house lol. Then the dumbass went out and bought a new one that has been in the shop for the last 4 months waiting on a new transmission lol

Can't deny that is impressive technology, but good lord that graphic package he added is fugly

 

That's crazy. "2021 Ram truck owners encouraged to park vehicle outside due to fire risk" Never knew about this. Screw that noise.

 

3 fires and none with customers… and they sell 600k a year … yea let’s write off the entire lineup

 

I would love one. I would drive the shit out of it at every mall I could find going thru 3 sets of tires in 7k miles.

 

I am a partner in a large highway construction firm. After a disastrous stint with the 6.7 ps in 2012 we went with Ram diesels for all of our 3/4 ton and 1 ton crew trucks. We made the switch in 2014 and have been rotating these trucks out at 250 to 300k miles for newer ones.

These trucks have provided us with flawless service. My personal work truck is a 2021 Cummins. My 2016 cummins was retired at just under 300k miles.

I have stated this info in the past….and despite the fact that all of my other vehicles are Toyota products, there is always one stone stupid piss flap of a fan boy who loses his shit over the fact that I “own” over 40 late model Ram Cummins and they have been exceedingly reliable.

 

From the same link you provided:

https://www.mlive.com/auto/2020/10/...aulty-fuel-pumps-fuel-leaks-respectively.html

“For Toyota, the recall adds on to an ongoing issue involving faulty fuel pumps that can fail, causing engines to stall. The latest recall of 1.5 million vehicles brings the total number of Toyota models recalled for the issue to 5.8 million. The recall impacts several types of Toyota and Lexus models.”

Stones, glass houses, yadda yadda yadda.

 

Stone stupid piss flap. I love that, and I'm almost certain there will be an appropriate time to use it in the not distant future. Quite possibly today.
