Second report: From towing to going
2021 RAM 1500 TRX

Second report: From towing to goinge are halfway through our time with our 2021 Pickup Truck of the Year-winning TRX and we have used it for a variety of truck tasks, like hauling and towing, along with the usual school drop-offs and off-road trips. With our TRX fully broken in now, we have seen the already impressive 0-60 times drop to sub-4-seconds, 3.9 to be precise, with our quickest quarter-mile now registering 12.7 seconds at 103 mph. Incredible numbers for something that weighs 3.5 tons.

Unlike other Rams, the TRX comes with the SRT Performance Pages App on the 12-inch Uconnect system. Performance Pages are super cool and track a bevy of information but takes a frustratingly long time to load. Thankfully, that's not the case for Launch Control or Sport mode, which are available at the push of a button. In normal driving, the TRX accelerator pedal is wooden for the first 25 percent, or so, of travel. Selecting Sport mode makes a meaningful change to the throttle mapping, and it's the perfect mode for those who want to feel all 702 horses RIGHT NOW. We've found that the best place to set the TRX Launch Control is 2,2002,400 rpm, mat the throttle, and go. There isn't anyone who hasn't been impressed with a TRX launch, and thanks to the full-time transfer case, there isn't so much as a chirp from the 35-inch Goodyears. The TRX just leaps from a standstill with the ferocity and grace of a big cat.

In daily driving, the TRX is as luxurious and docile as they come and is perfectly adept at everyday living. Sure, it fills up the parking spaces, and you won't be squeezing around traffic for those righthand turns, but there isn't any place that we've wanted to go that we couldn't take the TRX, including parking structures...

Ddecades ahead of the '20 four-door Bronco, and even preceding the Ford Explorer and Excursion, came an SUV that could have passed for OEM and was built to answer the call for a three-row people-haulin' off-roader.

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.
