I'll be honest, my reaction was vastly different than my colleagues at Motor1 after Ram unveiled its all-new 777-horsepower supercharged V8 TRX pickup.
For those who haven't been keeping up with the goings on in the automotive realm, the Raptor-fighting truck had gone away for a short period as Stellantis pushed toward EVs. But as that utterly failed, causing the CEO to split as the stock price tumbled and inventory piled up, the group saw fit to go back to what it knows best: big-ass V8s.
Yet, while my colleagues applauded the truck's return, as I probably would've done myself in a past life, I saw that $103,000 starting price and its 13-ish inches of suspension travel and thought, "Um, why wouldn't you just buy a side-by-side? It'd be better."
