Another broke TRX!

Titles the video as first time off road then admits they’ve had it offroad a few times... then mentions that they damaged it at some point “because of the heavy front end”. Oh and doesn’t know how to use the manual paddles properly but is playing with them anyway.

when i clicked the linked and saw it was him i rolled my eyes.
ugh i really dislike his channel. he always titles his videos (why you should get x over y) but never addresses it in the video. he just borrows trucks from a dealer and walks you through the features. if you listen to his other videos it's clear he is not knowledgeable and it just frustrates me.

I'm reminded of that scene in Billy Madison - “Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.” Seems like another entitled kid who knows nothing about the truck and just makes annoying videos that don't even educate.

Never heard of his channel before, first watch, don't really like his style and agreed, lack of knowledge - sure he can give you a layman's 'impressions' but nothing new or useful.
and yeah he's an idiot with the paddles. there's no 'memorizing' gear shift points, you either feel it and know, or you're an amateur.
I'm surprised there's not a "raptorsofinsta paid promotion" tag somewhere in the corner of this for how often he pitched 'better own a raptor har har!'

TOOL BAG!!!!.......not a fan of him. Not sure I would be limping it back to the dealer on the highway or at all with transmission issues.

i left him a nice comment... "maybe you shouldn't be smacking the paddles like you're playing forza when you don't know how to use them... i'm sure this video won't help your case"

right? "limping" he's clearly going over 60 on the highway. he's a fool

From what I know, you really can't hurt the truck by how you use the paddles, the transmission will override a paddle request that is too low or high an rpm to prevent any damage. The engine management also adjust power delivery depending on how the suspension is adjusting to the terrain to prevent driveline damage.
He really couldn't break the truck regardless of how he drove it unless he drove it into a tree. From what I saw, it was a rather mild drive out in the open.

Yes his videos lack a lot! Very mundane!

In what way? I didn't see him do anything that would void a warranty on that truck. Maybe in the 2nd video, I haven't watched it yet.

think your right.it all boil down to .it "faulty".no matter what he would have done(IMHO)
Driving the truck on highway speed with a faulty transmission instead of getting it towed.

Oh gotcha, I missed that part, I though he did something before that happened. Yeah, he should have had AAA flat bed it to the dealer or road side from RAM, would have cost him nothing.
Driving it while going bad could hurt him on the warranty depending on what it is.
On the new video he posted tonight they had a RAM rep onsite that morning that fully looked over everything on the truck to figure out WTH happened. My guess is because he has close to 100k subscribers they want to make it right so they keep in the good light.

Maybe we should get him to complain about the AC...
that’s probably the only way they will do something.
Get him to complain!
