RAM TRX review

The TRX will be a daily pleasure to own. The engine has been around for ages and is tried and tested. The chassis team really did a proper job, so that bodes well for a long and fault-free life. And the interior is frankly world class – super tough, comfortable, easy to use and a pleasure to be in on and off road.

The only choices you have to make other than the exterior colour, are the level of interior trim – we recommend the base or TR1 – whether or not to add the tow package and which wheels to have – we suggest the bead locks over the standard hoops. Other than that, there is a full catalogue of TRX-specific MOPAR accessories ready to go.

It will be horrible to park in low-roofed car parks, simply won't fit through some width restrictions, and will obscure your house when you leave it next to it. It drinks fuel like a whale consumes water and the load bed is so small when you have the optional wheel carrier in there, it will be a challenge to carry a bicycle. But you won't ever complain – and no one would listen if you did.
