We do this one yet? RAM TRX has multiple issues on trail...towed out

https://youtu.be/908LDjSqfoY



Large oil or coolant leak
Transmission slipping into and out of gear
Truck shuts off completely.

I think they mention this is the first trail they have done in the new truck.

Forgot---the fun starts at about 6:30 into 14 min video.

 

Later on he limped it to dealer. It lost a high pressure transmission line. Completely drained the transmission while driving to dealer and trashed the transmission.

Apparently they were going to warranty it. Ram wanted to test why it failed.

 

they should have tested like toyota did back in 06, letting ranchers beat the F out if it in the field

 

Nice. Ram went from making a 60K pos to a 100K pos.
Also this looks terrible from a PR perspective for them and I guarantee that a normal guy that wasn't a big youtube channel wouldn't get the same kind of treatment for getting it fixed as this guy did.

 

Would have loved to Stellantis do the wiggle dance on this one.

We sell off-road products but we decided that your use off pavement entails abusive dips and uneven terrain. Please pay us 10k for the repairs.

As much as the Raptor is praised, it's downfall is unreliable electronics. Feeling pretty good about the Tundra. Lo!

 

LMAO ! Limped it to the dealer at 60 mph with a dry transmission ..... perfectly “normal” thing to do .

 

I'm equally bothered that out of all those people that were there, not one could tell what kind of fluid that was. lol

 

that's what happens when you have more money than brain cells

 

If you’ve watched any of his videos before you’d know that he’s a 1000% Raptor fan boy . Nothing is as good as a Raptor according to him .
He says at the beginning of the video that he’s had it off road a couple times and hit the front end pretty hard . Watching the video it’s about the 4th trail he takes it down after catching some air on the last one . But the video is titled “ the first trail and broken “.LOL .

 

TRX getting towed by a Raptor....lolz

 

Anyone know where this place is at? I would love to go there.

 

It's annoying how clueless these guys are. If I worked for Dodge I would have denied the warranty for not having it towed to the dealer after it started losing fluid. This went from a simple fix to a fried transmission because of their stupidity.

 

Probably his back yard lol.

 

"i didn't even jump it...today". Truck was doing its best to say, "Dude, STOP DRIVING ME! I NEED HELP!"

On the plus side, it sounds amazing!

 

Because they built it.

 

There’s another guy on you tube that destroys a TRX after about a week of owning it . Did a jump over a creek with the bed full of wheels and tires that shattered the back window when he landed and then did donuts in the field before driving it back home . Then took the claw end of a hammer and put a couple holes in the fender . All for likes and views .

 

I’m looking forward to the drag race with the super charged Tundra they have planned . This will be the third time . Apparently the third one has more power .

 

I think that depends on what off roading they do . But rocks and other obstacles the Raptor is the better of the two it’s a lot lighter .

 

I bet theres more user error involved than the truck not being able to withstand the beating.

 

Looks like Salt Lake City area, I would guess Skyline Drive. I've never been on it, but I know it's essentially a long dirt road which looks like what they're on.

 

Dude is local to utah, by the looks of it he looks out in the west desert(west of salt lake city) but I could be way off.

 

I recognize the the freeway offramp and roads to the dealership. He was in the west desert out by 5 Mile pass. The Dodge dealer is in Sandy right off the 10600 south freeway exit. I would guess he drove it 40 miles with the trans pissing fluid.

 

After meeting him a few years back....seems like something he would do!

 

wait. time out. before i go get my truck dirty (on a fire road with puddles), let me change into my all blacks with nice slacks and hipster cole hann leather shoes...

 

Why would he limp it to the dealership if its obvious there is something catastrophic going on? Is a tow really that difficult?

 

That can't be real. No man would buy a lime green truck.

 

bold of you to assume he's a man

 

Army Green on the other hand...
