2021 Ram TRX is insane

The only question now seems to be, when GM will join this arms race.
It seems to me that GM is now in the enviable position, of having intelligence on both of the trucks of its competition. So, all it has to do is develop a truck that beats both of the others in specifications.

In recent history, GM hasn't played. Ford came out with the 2nd gen Lightning, Dodge came out with the SRT-10. GM came out with a sticker package that said "Thunder" on it
The only arms race GM is fighting is the one to stay alive.
I have to admit, as long as we’re bashing GM, putting the Blazer badge on a car was a big miss for them. It’s gotta be tough for GM to watch as Ford gets all that attention for the new Bronco.
Do they want that situation to repeat itself and get left in the dust AGAIN, as Ford and RAM get the spotlight for their new supertrucks??

The blazer should have been a Grand Cherokee with a 5.3/6.2 V8. Instead its some plump car body with the meh 3.6 liter and a huge price tag.

With so much power, how come the top speed is so low? I'm guessing it's governed. I like the red one, sweet looking vehicle!! Definitely the best looking truck on the market.

The only truck I feel GM ever made that was interesting was the 454 SS.
Probably for the same reason most trucks and SUVs are: Governed due to the speed rating of the tires.
They’re definitely governed. I’ve had my truck... up there, allegedly... and yeah, it’s a pretty good spot where mine is governed. Not nearly as stable as the 300 was, I don’t like taking the truck above 80.
And then -- what were they rated -- like 220 HP? High School friend of mine bought one, nice looking truck but gutless and very thirsty he would say all the time.
The Blazer at the end of first quarter 2019, it had sold 3,023 units in the United States. By the fourth quarter of 2019, it immediately swelled to 23,008 units sold, and closed out 2019 with 58,115 units sold overall, making it one of Chevrolet's fastest selling model.

I like it. I wish the brakes were better on my Raptor with 450 hp. I can only imagine stopping 700hp on all terrain tires. Glad Ram made this as it will force Ford to respond and then maybe I’ll be ready for an upgrade. I didn’t watch the whole video but I’d assume MSRP of $85,000+ optioned the way I’d want it?
