    I feel like these videos are extra entertaining because Jill is 4'10" with bubbly attitude driving a bus around Chicago.
  • @jorvega123
    That Ram would fit perfectly in Texas parking lot and my neighborhood Dallas TX 👍

    4.7MPG? I have to go back multiple times to watch that part again and again. 4.7MPG!!!! Lord!!!! 😅

    She’s the last person I would expect to see step out of a trx haha. Nothing against her tho, she did a great job on camera and a nice bright personality. I personally would never buy a raptor or trx if I lived in the city unless you drive it only on weekends. That’s one thing I love about my 4runner trd pro. It’s big enough for everyday stuff and cargo and hauling passengers and gear, yet small and nimble enough for the tightest trails, mountainside shelf roads, and of course city parking and especially parallel parking. I know few people who had raptors who live in Baltimore and DC and ended up selling it after a few months cause it’s just such a pain.
  • @ranss
    this review is probably far more relevant to trx/raptor owners than they would admit. great work!
  • @NA-du5vm
    This thing looks like a BEAST in the real world!
  • I was hoping Jill would throw the truck in neutral in front of that Ford Dealership and rev the engine. Show them the TRX is taking over..... 🤣
  • @johnwimer4891
    That was a blast (glad it wasn’t me doing all of that city driving!)
  • That's awesome that you don't want to be that guy. If your truck takes up a lot of space, park it in the back of the parking lot. You'd be surprised how many people try to cram a big ass truck up front in a little bitty space just so they don't have to walk a few extra steps. Excellent video by the way I very much enjoyed it
  • @kaidenmills1155
    I knew the truck wouldn't fit in her garage Im just glad she had someone whom seems to be a expert truck driver and seems more experienced overall on the road or at your house

    Been driving duallys for years, even wider than your Ram - Parking spots are NOT made for big trucks, I take 2 spots and just live with the angry looks. :)
  • @oldretireddude
    Backing into a parking space is always easier but at 80", the over the top width is a problem. Bumper sensors are definitely a plus on that truck.
  • @conduit242
    I’ve never been so tense during a YT truck review 😂🤞🙏
  • Ha! Roman and the boys have nothing on you and your "real world reviews"! That was excellent! Probably more relevant to most of your viewers than the wilds of Nebraska.
  • This is EXACTLY the vid I was looking for since I’m looking to buy a pickup but live in Chicago as well lol
  • @DriveModeShow
    Nice work, Jill! Not sure how many TRX owners would be driving through Starbucks, but at least you had a spotter before you smacked the antenna on the garage door. And Culvers for the win! Love that place.
  • @vr4787
    This has been very enjoyable!
