TRX Jump that makes you cringe!

[Morenar]

Many of you may follow Streetspeed717 on youtube and know he took delivery of one of the first TRX's in the US. He decided to jump his close to $100,000 TRX like he had previously done with his raptor. All I can say is I cringed when I saw this video.

That's what happens when you have more money than brains.

Dumb... and the tires in the bed?

Surprised that he didn't make his buddies lie on the ground under the jump!

These Youtubers don't care. Good content equals views/subscribers which ultimately equates to $$$$. And they write these vehicles off as a business expense. Not a bad way to live tbh lol.

Also - Looks like that will be the first TRX with the rear window leak

 

[Scram1500]

It does seem like a fun way to live, but it's a shame to see a unicorn wrecked like that. In 30 years when these trucks are going for millions of dollars at Mecum it might not seem that cool

I clicked through the video to the jump and the destruction. There's way more damage than a tailgate, skidplate and rear window. I'm guessing the tires were to try and keep the back end down? I didn't watch / listen to him, but it clearly didn't work and I bet he would have had zero bed damage if the bed was empty. Dumb...but I'm also jealous that I'm not a youtuber with money to waste.

Right, it was to keep the back end weighted down. He did the same jump with the Raptor with little damage.

I was laughing, I actually think it’s funny. Not my truck and not my money. But yeah the first thing I thought at the beginning of the video is where the heck does somebody that young get all that money

Millions of dollars?

 

[Scram1500]

Millions of dollars?

Lol, okay maybe that was an exaggeration, but they will be worth much more in a few years

and Dumbells.

Which are the dumbells? In the front or the back? I cringe just hitting a pothole while this guy burns Benjamins like they are pennies.
I’m (not) sorry, I don’t get some privileged individual purposely tearing sheet up just for likes.
Destructive testing has its place I get that. Being a wealthy dumbass purposely tearing up a 100K truck doesn’t, IMO.

Exactly. It’s content like this that just shouts out “privilege”. You watch, a lot of that content is going to go away as it gets “canceled“ or legislated out in the months to come. Not saying I agree but that’s the direction we seem to be heading. Hopefully the scales will balance someday...

They expect to build them at Raptor levels for years, I mean they will hold value, but still depreciate, probably similar to Raptors. They will likely never be worth more than their original MSRP.

If this video pissed you off, I dare you to check out Whistlindiesel's YouTube channel lol.

I'm thinking about much further down the road. That is if we are alllowed to use gasoline, or even own a car in the future. Cancel culture is just getting warmed up

Gotcha, yeah absolutely about that!

 

[Caballonegro]

I think I even dreamed the video after I watched it last night!

Biggest dumbell was behind the wheel.
