Things are getting out of control here, and we're beginning to fear for the T-Rex's life. RAM's performance truck has handled pretty well everything that's been thrown at it so far, but its build quality and excellent engine can't do anything to help it when it's on fire.
Let's rewind a little and see what this particular truck has had to endure until now. It all started with a seemingly innocuous jump. A Ford F-150 Raptor did it before it, so it was a matter of pride for the TRX to at least equal its rival's performance, if not surpass it.
The Hellcat-powered RAM, however, took off like it was driven by Evil Knievel, landing nose-first into the ground and thus suffering its first bits of damage. Apart from the broken tail window, which made the cabin a bit chilly, there didn't seem to be anything of notice wrong with the vehicle.
Then, thanks to the ever-helpful fans who gave the first video enough likes, Mike (the channel owner) had to go through with his promise and fit 44-inch mud boggers on the TRX. Except they didn't fit, so some adjustments were required. How does eight-wheel spaces sound like? Two on each wheel? A bit unusual, but OK, we guess. No, no, no, no, you got it wrong, it was eight on each wheel for a total of 32.
Even with the suspension and steering systems at maximum stress levels, the TRX soldiered on. However, Mike and the crew weren't particularly happy with the sound the 6.2-liter V8 and, more to the point, the truck's exhaust system was making, so he had two options.
Option A: get an aftermarket exhaust kit and have some fancy shop install it. Option B: get a power saw and give the thing the straight pipe treatment. Given everything that went on this far, which option do you think Mike went for? Well, imagine the amount of explaining he would have had to do if he went for option A.
With the sound taken care of, it was time to destroy a few more cars apart, and since the TRX kind of looked like a mini monster truck, what better way to do it than to have it climb over a couple of old sedans? Well, it looks like those oversized tires finally pushed the AWD system too hard because it ceased to function. After a quick cooldown, though, the RAM was ready to go at it again and eventually managed to crush the Dodge Intrepid and the Volkswagen Passat.
As for the ending, we could tell you about it, but it's probably best you see it with your own eyes. Be warned, though, as it contains unnecessary cruelty toward T-Rexes.
