📖Generation guide
Ram 1500 TRX • 2021-2024
Featuring the 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8 with 702hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, the TRX stands as the apex predator designed to outperform competitors like the Ford Raptor. The Final Edition 2024 marks the end of an era before the transition to a twin-turbo inline-six.
TRX Sandblast Edition • 2021-2024
This limited-run variant features a unique paint and interior specification, making it an even rarer addition to the TRX lineup, further elevating its collector potential.
TRX Final Edition • 2024
With exclusive badging and features, the 2024 Final Edition serves as a collector's send-off before the shift to the Ram 1500 RHO 540hp Hurricane engine in 2025.
Known issues by generation
While the Ram 1500 TRX is a high-performance truck, it's important to be aware of specific model-related issues. The 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8 can experience pre-failure in the supercharger snout bearing, especially in high-mileage or over-tuned examples. MDS lifter failure is also a known concern; ensure any recall has been completed before donation. The TorqueFlite 8HP70 transmission is robust but may show wear in high-mileage applications. Additionally, thorough inspections of the Bilstein BDS adaptive shocks and Dana 60 axles are recommended to avoid costly repairs. Lastly, the durability of air intake systems in off-road conditions should be verified to maintain optimal performance.
Donation value by condition + generation
The Ram 1500 TRX and its variants are becoming instant collector items due to their production-ending status. Clean low-mileage models are regularly fetching between $75,000 and $110,000 at auction venues like Bring a Trailer and Mecum. Premiums apply for limited editions like the TRX Sandblast and Final Edition. Original paint and documented service history significantly enhance value, whereas modifications can adversely affect collector appeal. Proper preventive maintenance documentation is crucial, including supercharger snout rebuild receipts and MDS lifter recall completions, to maintain value in this collector segment.
Donation process for this model
Donating your Ram 1500 TRX to Green Wheels is a straightforward process designed to maximize your contribution. We recommend engaging a qualified appraiser to assess your vehicle’s value, as IRS Form 8283 Section B is heavily applicable, particularly for clean TRX examples that often exceed the $5,000 threshold. We suggest enclosed transport for low-mileage vehicles to ensure their condition, and documentation of original paint, service history, and rebuild receipts is required for the donation.
