2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Muscle Trucks Launch All-new Pickup Performance Subsegment

Give me a lowered TRX, that’s what we all want.

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.

Those kits suck, and they void the warranty
I suppose, full transparency, the AWD of the TRX also kills it for me. The RWD button in the RB was refreshing to see. I don’t think it gets the truck gets any MPG, regardless, but it should be more fun.

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 Rumble Bee. No warranty to be concerned with since it's a '21 (at least I think it's out of warranty) and you could lower it yourself instead of using a sucky kit. At 5,677 miles and broken in correctly it's not a bad little pickup.

Of course, I'm probably not selling until I've seen what my girlfriend's Rumble Bee looks like underneath, and who knows when she can even order one.

I ride my stuff hard and sometimes put it away wet... With all of the gadgetry on my truck, I literally cannot repair the things that actually go wrong. I also put miles on my vehicles.
You worried about surface rust underneath?

Don't tease me with your TRX......

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 done as they were when I started the job.

So for me, getting a new vehicle that will most likely never be driven in rain show up with surface rust would be quite disappointing. I'll probably change oil in the '18 Challenger soon, and then I could take photos from underneath. Except for the discoloration of the exhaust, everything should look just like when I first got it.

Ummmm but what about dirt/dust/bugs on the top side?

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 matter what it looks like on the outside.

Besides, you left out the the bird stuck in the grille.
