Ramp-jump truck goes viral
A truck jumping a massive ramp and flying impressively hit social feeds this weekend—video shows the jump testing chassis and durability, sparking debate on stunt safety and build prep Viral stunt video of a truck jumping massive ramp and flying impressively tests durability.
The clip, published March 16, 2026, features a Ram TRX launched roughly 60 feet off a dirt ramp, according to coverage by Dexerto. (dexerto.com) Video analysis shows the truck’s suspension bottomed out on landing and left visible underside and bodywork damage while still driving away, per the same report. (dexerto.com) Those behind the stunt discussed the truck’s original purchase price at about $65,000 and noted modern TRX examples can exceed $100,000, details reported alongside the footage. (dexerto.com) For scale, the Guinness World Record for longest ramp jump by a truck cab is 50.60 m (166 ft) — the viral TRX jump was therefore roughly one-third of that distance. (guinnessworldrecords.com) Past incidents show real consequences: a 2021 TRX jump by StreetSpeed717 led to legal action and a reported $53,000 penalty from Pennsylvania authorities. (moparinsiders.com) A separate high-profile attempt destroyed a six‑wheel TRX Warlord (marketed around $250,000) after a ramp jump, underlining the risk of catastrophic failures. (thedrive.com) TRX-owner forums and technical threads have since been dissecting suspension mounts, launch-control use and reinforcement after the clip, with owners sharing measurements and setup tips on ram‑trx.org and ram‑trx.com.
