Got offered my dealerships first trx when they came out. Would have totally jumped on it if I hadn't spent the 2 years prior in the shop replacing things that fell out of my srt jeep.
1. Entire sunroof assembly had to be replaced (parts missing from the factory)
2. Nearly all the carbon fiber warped and had to be pulled and replaced
3. Entire dashboard had to be replaced due to the leather peeling away from it
4. Electrical issues around the camera and radio.
5. Fender flare body molding separating repeatedly and not lining up
6. My jeep spent literally 2 months in the shop because FCA and my dealership were in a stalemate on whole would pay for my broken headliner. The paperwork just sat there til I contacted the president of Mopar personally.

After all that I couldn't justify giving FCA $90k for a truck built no better than its $40k counterpart and no better supported. Ran into the same problem looking at hellcats.

Best of luck. It's a rad truck. Rad drive train. But you just bought a Chrysler product. So maybe lower your voice on all the clap backs. It's not like you bought a Toyota.
I use to think the same about Chrysler products but I had a 14 Ram 1500 that went a little over 100k miles with zero issues before I traded it in. That changed my opinion on them.

Was referring to Toyota's quality more than anything. Not what features it has.
Don’t be a blind brand loyalist, they have issues just like every other make.

The new 2022 Tundras are having widespread turbo failures among other issues; you’re confuse antiquated with “quality”. Turbo service requires cab removal.

The bumper comes off with the cab? Granted I am not up on things.

So you think the Gen2 is a better Truck than the TRX?
It is for me because it fits my needs better. And that's all I care about. I don't need everyone else in the world to agree with my choice to feel validated. Actually, if I agreed with the mainstream I'd give serious thought to what stupid mistake I was making now. That's not a joke.
