Source? I know the six million millionaires value was old, but I did not think it had doubled since I learned that. I thought it was last year that the number was six million. That said, there are various ways of evaluating wealth. Some do not consider primary residence in factoring net...

I can’t imagine Ford would just throw their hands in the air and quit. Brand loyalty has been the most difficult obstacle to overcome in the truck industry for competitors to gain market share. I doubt they will discontinue such a cash cow. They will lose some sales to Ram but I’m confident...

True, but those are two very different trucks for different purposes. The Power Wagon is the perfect work truck to have on a farm where you’re likely to spend a fair amount of time in the mud. The TRX is more focused on speed over uneven terrain.

I wasn’t able to find the arricle, but Car and Driver once predicted the TRX would have a start price of $55,000 and be available by “the end of the year”. That was in 2017. So their crystal ball is highly unreliable. There were also rumors of Ford putting their 427 (7.0L) engine in the updated...

That is possible. More than one Trackhawk sold for over six figures. Personally, I think the truck buying market is a different demographic. I’m sure it will be possible to get Raptor and TRX configurations over six figures, but my guess is, the average transaction price will tend a lot...

If people buy a six thousand pound truck expecting street speed then they will get what they deserve. If horsepower to weight ratio is your holy grail, you buy a Ducati Panigale V4. I’m confident the truck buying community is well aware of the speed and acceleration limitations of their trucks...

"This is a product Ram fans would do unspeakable things to have in their driveway." http://fcauthority.com/2017/03/production-ram-rebel-trx-said-to-arrive-for-2018/

I think you underestimate the amount of off road enthusiasm out there: https://m.youtube.com/results?search_query=silver+lake+prerunner+invasion+ That is but a tip of the iceberg. Remember, this is a country with close to a thousand billionaires and six million millionaires. There are a lot of...

You are familiar with the complaints people had with bending the frame on Raptors, yes? Which occurred not because Ford doesn’t know how to make a truck, but because people were jumping them off of sand dunes far higher than it was designed to handle. These things are expensive enough that the...

If all you’re going to do is ride around on public roads, then an off road vehicle is not for you. This was never meant to be a vehicle for the drag strip or stop lights.

Was there a way to disable traction control? These guys weren’t able to find a way:

Meaning, a TRX mule, not the final production truck (and not a souped up 2500), we presume.

They regret not putting it out five years ago when the Hellcat engines debuted, but, who knew? FCA is well aware of not only how many sales they lost in terms of TRX models, but also the lower trims that such a halo draws people in to purchase. While I do wish it were out sooner, I’m glad...

Every day . . . I'm in the process of writing a book, which takes gobs of time so, I'll drop in on occasion, but focus is still on the TRX. Just last night I updated the Wikipedia page (nothing significant, just added links and put the image in the info table). But, after seeing this - I might...

You need not be concerned. This is not the complete truck. They do this all the time. It is merely a mule testing some facets of a TRX design. They would not be showing a TRX body uncovered in public. It would be concealed/wrapped, whatever, but they will not just drive around in a Ram...

Indeed. It may indicate they've engineered a stronger drive train that doesn't need them. Or put a weaker power plant in it (TR - 426/7.0L).

Front wheels are six lugs - this is a test mule, not a 2500.

ETA on the ETA?

That was all that was said about it. My guess is, we’ll get an announcement this year about a release next year.

Mike Manley, CEO of FCA remarked about the success of the DS/DT Ram truck strategy in today’s Town Hall, “very quickly followed by the T-Rex.” He also made a joke asking about how much horsepower it had, which was not answered.
