TFL Talkin' Trucks

( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! In this episode, Andre talks with the Ram engineers to take a deep dive into two of the most talked-about trucks in the lineup: the new Ram TRX and the unexpected Diesel Power Wagon. We explore the engineering and development behind these machines, discussing powertrain choices, suspension and off-road technology, durability, and how each truck is designed to perform in real-world conditions. Our guests share expert insight into what sets the TRX apart as a high-performance off-road truck, while also breaking down the significance of adding diesel power to the legendary Power Wagon platform.

We also dig into how these trucks fit into the broader truck market and what they mean for enthusiasts, builders, and everyday drivers. From towing, payload, and trail capability to comfort, technology, and long-term ownership considerations, the conversation goes well beyond the spec sheet.

In this episode of TFL Talkin’ Trucks, Andre and Roman break down the biggest winner and loser trucks of 2025 after a year of testing, driving, and watching the market react.

On the flip side, they don’t hold back on the trucks that struggled to deliver, including the continued challenges facing EV trucks, the Ineos Quartermaster, and the ever-controversial Tesla Cybertruck. From performance and practicality to pricing and buyer expectations, Andre and Roman explain what worked, what didn’t, and what these wins and losses tell us about where the truck market is headed next.
