Sorry guys - small mistake in the video! Should have said Twin Screw, not Twin Scroll!
Where is the silverado review?
That's cool, the Twin Scroll version made me go and get something to eat!
Great review,,,, waiting for the toyota Hilux
Uhh, that sounds a bit untruck.
rubbish, not even a tire size. plus, did you notice, there less room where you as the pass side. same as my s/duty. drivers side very small. not a central floor pan. plus for 200k.. with ifs. no thanks..mall crawler.. real 4x4rs have 2 diffs..
This guy is our version of Britain's Mat Watson, I swear.
Ha ha. Just fatter.
Should start doing drag races 😂
I'll agree with that, lovely truck if you have a big enough garage. That spare tyre thing in the tray just takes up room
So, What exactly happened?
@@CarExpertAus It's those bloody chevapis
Brings a smile on your face while driving fast and tears in your eyes while filling up.
Maintainance bill too
A fuel safe would solve your fill up frequency
Yes you have to get used to using a lot of fuel
Just need your own dedicated well
I've got one and the Indian fella at our local servo thinks we are best mates already. I need a long range tank for the thing. I can afford BP98 anyday, any price . It's the range that annoys me.
I have never seen Paul this happy driving a vehicle he is reviewing. But the sounds made by that vehicle are truly amazing.
Did you notice the dark patch on his pants when he got out? He is going to keep that thing for a week before returning it.
Differences petrol V8 makes compared to a diesel
4:18 Fun fact! "Ramcharger" is a reference to the people that started dodge's SRT. Ramcharger was the name that the 3 engineers came up when they made thier first drag car... simply put... they were the Ramchargers
Thank you for that!
@@CarExpertAus No problem
@@CarExpertAus Also an SUV from back in the day and the air scoop fitted on certain big block cars.
@@CarExpertAus What is the height of the TRX with and without the RAM BAR ?
First ramchargers came out to Australia in the 1960s and we're racing in Melbourne at the old Riverside dragstrip
This is one hell of a truck, definitely would like to own one someday. This crushes everything else and makes current gen raptor look like mince meat. I've watched a lot of American reviews on these and I strongly believe it's the conversation that's messed up the steering, but hopefully the company which does the conversion can get it right in the future. But it's the perfect truck, its big, powerful, stylish imo, brilliant interior and it's just doesn't seem cheap like the mid sized utes. Ram put a lot of money and time into every aspect of this truck. Great review Paul!
conversion
Yes it is a nice ute
The fuel economy will send you broke 😅😅😅
@@stephenchurcher8885200k for this. I don't think anyone who can afford this cares about fuel costs
Those loops on the back are Molle straps. You can use them to attach accessory bags. It's similar to what is used on military backs so pouches can be added or subtracted as required.
Hope that helps.
Absolutely love this! 😍
It was very nice to see you being so happy and excited with this RAM Paul! 😁👍🏻
Even i got a massive smile on my face the first time Paul give it the sauce, ill never afford such a machine my self but a lad can dream and that noise is to die for 😍😍👌
YES! Now if someone could just give me 200k to buy it.
Time share?
I won't buy one anyway they shit
Plus 200k for petrol vouchers
@@lachlandegrussa7952shit? What would you rather? A 79 with a throttle controller 🤣
@@rforracemode5846 bit quiet aren't you now
I know it’s made for proper off-roading, but I’m still mightily impressed with how composed it was up the hill on that first outside shot. Golly
having very recently started in sales for Ram i really hope to see on of these. Paul you reviews have helped thank you.
ATECO put their version of the steering box on the Right hand side. No short cuts, that is why they steer better.
sounds like a far better option !
Great review Paul! Looks like you need a more difficult off-road course to challenge these beasts!
Seeing Paul look so small in comparison to this truck is pretty fascinating
My god man! what a great truck! this and the Silverado are my favorites! Looks amazing! great review Paul, your work is just so great! congrats on your great reviews!
I just jaw dropped when he showed me the 30+ L per 100km.
That's insane
Insane, or ABSURD ?????????
when you have a 700hp press vehicle, do you really think it will have been driven even semi sedately?
Nothing drinks like a dodge.
@@raymonds7492
Alcoholic !!!!
Did not know it was a Sherman tank
Thorough review.. paul even knew the air vents are wrong way around.. impressive 👍🏾
Great vlog! It would of been good to see you explore day to day driving also, like parking in woolies, or driving in a little bit of traffic to see how practical it is.
I liked the like / don't like at the end. The review was great, but I missed those size comparison shots to other cars you've published on your Instagram. That was just hilarious!
Superb wheel articulation!
Thank you paul thank you! Sorry I've been waiting for a review on this truck.
No worries!
The logs are fairly easy for any 4x2 vehicles to climb on! You should use the other side for the climbing and use the logs to test the descent controls
Hi Paul, long time follower and first time commenting,
AMAZING review as usual, just wanted to mention that the 3 lights on the hood are to alert other drivers that the car is wider than a specific width, part of regulation in the US.
keep up the amazing work 👏
marker lights,i think their called
Omg i have loved rams since forever..its my dream truck ...cant wait to win lotto
Making a living and also being succesful as a car reviews channel is one of the best dream jobs. Cheers to you and your familly!
salut,roman cumva?
Love your reviews, It would be cool if you could do an interior and exterior exhaust clip of each car reviewed?
I have been watching the Goonzquad twins fix up a TRX (never heard of them before) so this was quite interesting. I got excited seeing a right hand drive version, but finally hearing the dimensions in a system I could actually understand made me realise that this would be almost impossible to park in central Tokyo. Too big (for my particular environment). U N F O R T U N A T E L Y.
Everyone: blushes on a date
Paul: give me a V8 and I'll blush like no one on this planet.
Gotta love his passion y'all 😂
Lucky enough to drive a friends 1500 Ltd out of the there on Saturday,but there was a T. rex in the showroom which was just huge .looked epic
Was wating for this review so long.......thanks
Thanks so much for that. Too many conversations still needed for the Australian market. I’m gonna pass for now. That’s a real shame. I love the size. Thank you again for your review. The best!
The orange lights on the hood/bonnet are clearance lights required (by law-I think) due to the width of the truck-same as how the F150 Raptor has them
Exactly
Only here in Oz, not required in the US. But a great styling add-on anyways.
@@Audios81 They are required in the US. Any vehicle over 80 inches wide is required to have the center lights. TRX and F150 Raptor.
Thanks Paul for your very informative review. Love your work.
Please keep it up.
Kind Regards
Nigel
From the states: Took my TRX to Moab Utah...absolutely a blast on the trails and the dunes! Not everyone likes to see the bent tail pipes on my 90k usd truck.😅
Watching this from Alice Springs Central Australia July 22. What a brilliant review! 👍🏼🤓
Nice video i really enjoy👍
It's a vehicle you would look forward to the Monday morning drive to work.
Great review. What a beast. That noise is amazing. On another note, your camera crew should invest in 3 Footed Monster for their camera. Easy attachment to vehicles. No affiliation, just a good product
by far my favourite car available to date...
Great video as usual. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Wallkinshaw conversion stacks up against the AusMV version.
Great review once again, Paul.
Fix the bloody DAB+.
I've been telling the misso this is my next vehicle. Finally, a selling point for her to keep saying no to me with!
Yeah finally we’ve got the beast lovely ute
Terrific review and great complement to what I have seen out of the States for the TRX. I won’t be buying this vehicle (price and fuel mileage are deal breakers), but great to see how it stacks up.
Great review Agree with you. It's not a need but an absolute want one things bit disappointed you didn't try the jump thing, since you did have Baja mode.Just for the fun of it. But then again, at that price, you must be a bit crazy to try it.
i just love RAM TRX
Me too!
What I liked about Mr Rex's nearly every thing if they can sort the steering out and the driver settings on the screen I might have to pull half my savings out. But I'll wait till you test the night edition. The fact that you can do some off roading in a truck like this and be home in time for the pork roast looking like you just stepped out of the shower 🚿 it is a testament to the guys who created this machine. Yes thanks for the review I'll be keen to see how the night edition goes.
This has to be the most viciously insane truck you can buy straight off the factory! I wonder how many people use this as their daily driver. But it's one great and mean-looking truck. The kind that you buy with your heart, not your mind.
All that gaudy piano black on the centre area… it was making my eyes go 🤪 even just from the camera view. The bullet holders comment made me laugh! The fuel economy makes a 6.75 litre Rolls seem like a green car! 😂
As a Frenchman I'm so glad Peugeot bought the whole Fiat/Chrysler Group, those cars have their flaws but some models are incredible, such as this one 8)
Stellantis bought this, Peugeot is only part of this PSA group
@@digdigger4277 Yes, but Peugeot leads the whole group, at least strategically. By the way I can't find who's manufacturing the new 2.0 diesel of the 2022 Commander (South America) but wouldn't be surprised if it was the acclaimed Peugeot 2.0 hdi engine.
@@jean-louishamid5285 Please note that PSA group is only recognised as the "acquirer" under this merger of FCA and PSA groups only for "accounting" purposes - i.e. it probably had some Tax or other implications.
Shareholders of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA, the French maker of Peugeot, Citroën and Opel cars, voted on Monday to merge in an effort to acquire the scale necessary to survive in an industry gripped by technological change and pummeled by the pandemic. So its a merge and not bought by Peugeot.
Merged, FCA had more income and no debt going into the merger. The merge for FCA had more to do with getting a leap frog in electrification, updating car platforms, and refreshing the upper management. For PSA it was the capital that FCA offered. The revenue from the Ram 1500 and Jeep Wrangler provides a very high profit margin. It probably just said acquired on the paperwork so the French Government approves the merger.
FCA (Stellantis) did wonders for RAM.......they were always competitive, but just not quite there. Had a 2007 F250 PowerStroke in 2007, and it was a refined truck for a truck....but these are another league. Living in Australia now, since 2011, didn't think we'd ever get these guys here.....with choices from the Big 3, F Series and Silverado and the RAMs, you have to be crazy to get anything from the bowtie or Blue oval when we have these as a choice. Even the standard half ton is great, as is this TRX. Sadly we cannot get the Eco-Diesel, which I'm not sure you can in the states anymore either. But would have been best motor for Oz. Better economy, just, and seemingly more fitting for us to have a Fiat Diesel as well. Don't get me wrong, the Cummins is world's better, but not sure most would choose it here, as you have to step up to a 3/4-1 ton to get the Cummins, whereas the Eco-Diesel was on the half tons. While the payloads are beat by utes here, the towing capability is insanely better than our mini trucks like the Hilux, Ranger et cetera. Wanted a new RAM but was waiting for this model over the DT. Great review def helped my decision. Will be getting either a TRX or a 3/4 ton with the Cummins, with options rivaling luxury cars. Only issue?? Parking in inner Sydney; carparks won't be your friend, height or width wise, but for everything else....no problems. And thankfully not a lot of valet, as I wouldn't trust a valet here with it. But great review of a world class truck. Australia can keep their mini trucks, this is a REAL truck.
I’m impressed and sick at the same time
Also as you showed the dimensions with the truck bed, can you show it like this in all your future reviews? Some channel say the dimensions but showing on screen is the best way to go 😄
they use metrics,smart people
I usually couldn’t give a toss about utes but this is has my attention.
Not my interest either but I still watch.
😄
No Bulshit all about the vehicle. Love how you present buddy. This is my dream vehicle and only you did a full review that i watched from start to finish. I might have to sell my kidney and others to buy one 😂
Dont need but want is the perfect description for this ute/truck...
Need to tow a petrol station behind us if we buy it. I envy anyone who can afford to buy this. I know I love em but it stops there sadly
Ha ha, true!
I own one and love love love it.
Just found review about these latest RAM TRX model. If in Australia and US cost about $200k-150k per unit, I guarantee it price will cost round 800k-1M Ringgit Malaysia in my country. What a massive truck and gigantic car 😂
Awesome ute
My mate has a RAM Warlock
It's pretty good but if me lotto comes in im getting that
The price is just insane. You can get these for 80-90K USD in the USA. I think the F150 Raptor is a better formula - but I'm sure this is a hoot to drive once or twice.
Perhaps they should convert them for nothing check the Aussie min. wage against the US and the gap starts to close.
Yes a ridiculous price in Australia
I just love the fact that stellantis actually made this awesome truck
When they showed the concept. I think enough people said, shut up and take my money to make it happen.
I really love 💘 your cars so much ❤💕
Nissan sports version of there bluebird was called TRX (circa 80s)
This truck is an amazing vehicle, surely good for USA and Australia but what an insane price in Aussie dollars!!
I believe that those amber lights at the front on the air intake are not for show and are actually "marker" lights required by USA law. They are there because this vehicle exceeds the width of a passenger vehicle so stipulates the adoption of these lights.
Yep it's as wide as a commercial vehicle.
Paul you could have a party in the back seat!
Everything feels really solid, less than 5 mins previously, wobbly switch panel. 😂
Ah, I wish I could get one... 😍
Ram charger is a reference to the old ram charger truck back in the 90s. It was like a bronco or suburban
Finally a right hand drive version of the TRX....
Paul what systems or drive modes can you select while driving and which ones do you select while stationary?
so as just to add in an FYI the reason the Ford Raptor and the Ram TRX have the orange lights on the hood and the side marker lights are the width of the truck is a regulation the US DOT(Department of Transportation)has for vehicles over a certain width a standard RAM Silverado/Sierra F150 Titan Tundra don't require them
The greenies worst nightmare, getting one !
20:15 haha love the excitement 👌
Absolutely stunning. But I can't afford one. 😢
I think it's a case of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Good that people can buy what they want, bad that it would seem to go against the push for reduced emission vehicles (actual pollutants rather than CO2 although others would also consider CO2 bad) and the ugly if it's involved in an accident with small/medium vehicles.
I agree Paul.
Absolutely ridiculous and pointless.
And totally cool.
I get it - there is no place for one in my life, but would love to have one, even for a bit.
Absolutely love this car just wish they weren’t so expensive $200,000 is a hell of a lot of money for a Ute I don’t think the majority of people could ever afford one but I want one,but I’ll never get one
On the gear selector they never seem to convert the gear display (Park Reverse ect) to the drivers side, they spend so much on the conversion but a small detail like that they dont change.
Would love to see Dodge gain a foothold in South Africa and introduce some more variety and competition in the bakkie (pickup truck) segment.
Awesome truck, i want a red one 👍
Hi Paul, you didn’t mention if the mirrors are the fold-out towing style? I thought that they were?
If you watch Ben Hardy Car reviews on You Tube , he actually owns a TRX, wrapped in line green .
He jumps it ,yes they like to jump ,maybe his reviews can give you the perspective of the USA models .
His main issue is Fuel consumption ,but it's the type of vehicle you just love .
$95 grand in the USA 🤔so I suppose exchange rate and shipping plus convertion adds up ,in NZ they are even more expensive ,but hey if you have the money ,you have what you want .
Still a good vehicle really
Cheers
With they did left to right hand drive conversion here in blighty for beasts like this.
Looks to be an amazing truck, but my RAM Warlock has the RAM boxes and the TRX doesn't seem to have a large tray area. Fox suspension systems seem to give it great articulation
Bella hermosa esa RAM TRX es brutal esa Camioneta
Hey Paul, Would you be able to post the video about the Chevrolet Silverado 1500?
Oh I bought one. I ordered it way back in June. And I’ve been waiting every day since. 😢🥺
There’s nothing Paul, nothing that will make you look tough
I wonder if you can switch the cables for passenger and driver wherever they plug in.
Nice, it’s like a lounge room on wheels.
To achieve net 100 we all need one of this 😆
😂 net 100L/100km? ha
A non factory backed conversion, and it shows.
Rack rattle etc, and they don’t bother changing controls, such as seat heating etc to correctly depict whether u r adjusting the driver or passenger seat.
And SCD just announced that by mid 2022, they will cease converting Rams, and then concentrate on converting
Ford F series vehicles.
Buying a Ram with a factory backed re manufacture to RHD by Walkinshaw seems to be a much smarter purchase of this type of vehicle.
Definitely the safer option to go through Ateco
always wondered about the steering from LHD to RHD CONVERSION
The steering and the dash has been done at the Walkinshaw Performance warehouse, they've been doing for a few years now, look it up....
At AUD $2 a litre for premium fuel now, you might need a second mortgage on your home - this thing would drink with 8 straws.
But it looks great!
It's designed for the North American market and the middle east. In Alberta for instance, the price per liter is 1.269 CAD. In the US the price per gallon (3.78 liters) is starting to touch 4.00 USD.
I’m a psychic and I predict a bright future for you Paul.
No wait….psychotic. Does that still work? 😂😂😂. 👍
Sounds absolutely gorgeous!
Ha ha
Would love to see a review on the 2500 Laramie ram.
I asked one of the ram dealers, he said the waiting time is 8 years. lol
