True in a sense. There is generally a correlation between horsepower and gas mileage. The 5.7 could be made a lot more efficient with forced induction. That would not increase gas mileage, but provide more horsepower for marginal increase in fuel consumption (reduction in gas mileage).
Two approaches:
Sell more low end cars
Lobby to end the silly fines
What did the federal government do with those fines? Plant $77 million worth of trees? CAFE needs an update (and is currently undergoing review).
But the non-crate engine will?!?!?
(you gotta admit - you walked right into that one!)
Yes, we get it - no Hellephant in anything ever.

Very well done - I've seen a fair amount of vehicle review videos and some other car/truck stuff that can be best described as amateur non-entertainment. This was a professionally executed video by someone who knows vehicles inside and out, knows what is relevant, and knows to what one should...
Well what the hey, why not stir the pot . . .
"With that being said, they [Prefix] do not have the volume to produce the engine block in the capacity required for such a production vehicle."
- FCA does and the specs can be implemented at FCA facilities.

Blasphemy!!!
:LOL:
In all seriousness, if Ram puts out a TR that loses a performance comparison to the Raptor, it will invite all manner of negative criticism, even if the TRX obliterates the Raptor. The TR would be the price competitive version. If Ram puts out a weaker TR and a TRX that...
Aren't all of FCA's brands effectively Italian owned?
That was my point. Ducati is no more German than Jeep is Italian. Perhaps the legal wrangling between FCA US, LLC and other Fiat enterprises have obscure technical/financial boundaries, but at the end of the day, Mike Manley, the CEO of FCA...
This is OUTSTANDING news!
I can’t wait to seeit! I’m not in n the market for a car, but someday I hope to get a Charger for my wife - likely used, but my purchase will hopefully contribute to resale value.
That said, I am writing a book - if that sells well, I’ll flood the garage with a TRX...
Yeah, I remember seeing the news about doing it in warmer months and making it at least a partly outdoor venue.
As far as the TRX at the auto show this year, my skepticism seems warranted as reliable sources don’t see that happening. That said, I doubt we’ll have to wait for next year’s June...
Thank you to Brett Ruddish of the Facebook Ram Rebel TRX group (https://m.facebook.com/groups/1812830642341407) for this find:

“The 2020 Ram HD and Ram TRX are also rumored to debut.”

It will make a lot of people happy that such a beast is available. They’ll no doubt express their displeasure if a Hellcat is not at least an option (even though the 426 Hemi would do all that such a truck needs to do - and for the dragstrip, you stuff a Hellephant in it anyway). Not my thing...
Another FCA home run. Well thought out features, storage, etc. People have been waiting a long time for this. I get the impression they will be glad it is here and was worth the wait.
Very happy to see this. I wasn't sure if they were going to put that in a Rebel considering it's off-road and not necessarily luxury focus, but it is an option I want.
LOL - I thought I had responded to this - might have been in a hurry and wasn't logged in. I shared the article to my Facebook TRX group. Yes, very cool, but, it's on another continent, and the real McCoy is on it's way. I pestered Prefix about a more TRX focused Minotaur and as you can...
