The Ram 1500 TRX is on its dying bed, as the automaker has decided it to send it off with the Final Edition. The 2024 model is still listed on the official website next to the lesser derivatives, yet this story isn't dedicated to a brand-new copy but to a used one.
What we have here is a 2021 Ram 1500 TRX, which comes with a lot of goodies. The dual-pane panoramic sunroof, a Harman Kardon premium sound system, a surround-view camera system, a wireless charging pad, front and rear heated seats, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, and others are included.
Besides these, it sports powder-coated towing hooks, a two-inch (50 mm) leveling kit, 20-inch wheels wrapped in 37-inch tires, and privacy windows. The exterior color is called Granite Crystal Metallic, and the TRX decals on the rear fenders and front towing hooks in red provide some much-deserved contrast. The super truck has seen some action over the years, as the odometer indicates 35,385 miles (56,947 km).
Nevertheless, it is still a great used copy that deserves a nice and caring new home. Its future owner will get to enjoy its off-road prowess and crazy performance regardless of the terrain under its feet. It can keep going up to 118 mph (190 kph), takes 4.5 seconds to 60 mph (97 kph), and can deal with the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds at 108 mph (174 kph).

Aiding its insane performance (for a pickup truck) is the famous Hellcat motor. The 6.2-liter V8 supercharged engine steams out 702 hp (712 ps/524 kW). It also develops 650 pound-feet (881 Nm) of torque, working in concert with an automatic transmission with eight forward gears deploying everything to the four-wheel drive system.
A brand-new 2024 Ram 1500 TRX will set you back close to $100,000, and that's excluding those often-greedy dealer markups, as well as the optional extras. The model has a $96,340 MSRP before the $1,995 destination charge, returns 11 mpg (21.4 l/100 km) combined, and has a 36-month/36,000-mile (57,936 km) warranty, which increases to 60,000 miles (96,560 km) when it comes to the powertrain.
So, how much do you think this 2021 model is? That would be far less than the MSRP of a new one. Garage Kept Motors is behind the ad that you can check out here, and to sign your name on the papers and drive it home, you are looking at $82,900. We don't know about you, but this one seems more appealing compared to a fresh-off-the-lot copy. Head to the comments section below and tell us if it looks like your next fun toy for big boys, as it would certainly be ours if we had that kind of cash lying around.
