Speaking of proportions, I just measured my tow vehicle. We all know that the TRX's cab is gigantic, and that its bed is a measly 5'7" short (yes, I just can't call that long). In comparison, the hood on my tow vehicle is 5'8" and the cab is 4'!!". That's very proportional, I think. Another...

That's okay. I'm not working on the upper exterior of the vehicle. I'm well aware that many wash. wax, and polish, their vehicles quite frequently, but I barely have time to tend to maintenance and the far more important bits underneath. After all, those are what keeps a vehicle running, no...

Not worry per se, but I really prefer working on clean parts. Had my fair share of rust encounters early on in life. That's when I started learning how to weld. Don't like rust, dirt, whatever, anywhere underneath a vehicle, not even on the beaters. My hands should ideally be as clean when I'm...

Ah, I never worry about warranties. So far I haven't needed any for any vehicle - the minor things that have gone wrong I fixed myself. You could use a Tazer to get 2WD on a TRX, although from what I've seen they can be a bit glitchy. Still, let's say you bought my TRX when I have ordered a...

For those who do (which might be everybody except me) there's no reason to wait for the Rumble Bee to be released. The hardware needed to lower a TRX is already available from the aftermarket. It won't be quite the same, but if a lowered TRX is ideal, just do it. There's plenty of them out there.

I'm thinking that the shorter cab and frame equals less weight and a stiffer chassis. Performance, in other words. If including overall design in the equation, I think the Super Bee looks much more proportional than the TRX. To me the Gen 4 crew cab looks about right, even with only a 6'4" bed...

Fixed it for you. Three different cabs, at least two bed lengths and two frame lengths, would not be financially sound to offer for a low volume vehicle. And that's not counting certifications, crash testing, etc. for three models.

Yeah, I recently paid just over $40K for a well equipped 5.7 GT AWD, but it's missing a lot of things that a Rumble Bee can come with, like a 6.2, much larger brakes, the sophisticated suspension, etc. So I'm not opposed to paying more than twice as much for a Rumble Bee. Come to think of it...

So a Rumble Bee should only cost $8,000 more than the cheapest base 1500? That's not realistic.

Okay, since you asked nicely, I will.

For whatever reason, it looks like TRXs and Durangos run much higher oil temps than Challengers do. I'm made a cover for the cooler on my Challenger to be able to get it up to temp.

That's an equalizing feature, giving you the same amount of oxygen as I get up here with a clean filter - where the filters stay clean.

Somebody mentioned a $18K discount at Mark Dodge, but that sure sounds like an RHO price, not something with a V8.

That sure doesn't sound logical, vortecd. If one is good, two (or more) must be better yet - be it in car, pickup, or SUV form.

Yeah, I also wish they would come without a back seat. And consequently with the proper amount of doors. Several ways around paying an ADM. In my case it'll be either through my favorite dealer or Mark Dodge. Which one gets the order depends on how much below MSRP I'm offered.

Got my Durango on 10-1, just broke 1,000 miles on it. And that's my "daily driver".

Good point. My current 2-door to taxi ratio isn't the best. But at least the 2-doors are still in the lead.

Unfortunately that pricing would make it very tempting to keep the TRX and add a Rumble Bee. A winter and a summer version if you will. But if there's one thing I really don't need it's another vehicle that doesn't get driven.

I dunno. All my '17 3500 does is pull trailers, that's what I bought it for. Except for the break-in period I can count on one hand how many times it wasn't pulling something. I have other vehicles to drive when not towing. And a girlfriend that does more than cook dinner.

I'll be glad to get back into a Quad Cab again. After all, I get reminded every day that a TRX with its micro bed is only 26 inches shorter than a Ram 3500 crew cab longbed. They're parked next to each other so hard to ignore. Meanwhile, I really like it when a more powerful version looks the...
