The Ram 1500 TRX, produced from 2021 to 2024, stands as a pinnacle of modern American muscle, boasting a supercharged 6.2L Hemi V8 engine that delivers an exhilarating 702 horsepower. As the only half-ton truck equipped with a supercharged engine, the TRX has been affectionately dubbed the ‘Raptor-killer,’ setting new benchmarks for off-road performance and on-road dominance. In South Carolina, we see many TRX enthusiasts who recognize the importance of this collector-grade vehicle as it transitions into the realm of automotive history.
With the production run ending in 2024, the TRX is a significant piece of the Stellantis legacy, embodying the apex of half-ton truck engineering. As we move into a future dominated by electrification and new engine technologies, the TRX, along with its special editions like the Sandblast and Final Edition, becomes an instant collector's item. Donating your TRX not only supports Palmetto Wheels Exchange but also helps preserve the storied narrative of these remarkable trucks for future generations.
📖Generation guide
Ram 1500 TRX • 2021-2024

Known issues by generation
While the Ram 1500 TRX is celebrated for its tremendous performance, it is also important to be aware of some known issues associated with this beast. Common concerns include potential pre-failure of the supercharger snout bearing, particularly in high-mileage or over-tuned vehicles, which may require a rebuild costing between $2,500 and $4,000. Additionally, the MDS (Multi-Displacement System) lifter failure, which has been noted across the Hemi platform, can pose a risk. It’s essential to verify MDS lifter recall completion for your TRX, especially when considering a donation. Ensuring these concerns are addressed can help maintain the vehicle’s collector status and value.
Donation value by condition + generation
The Ram 1500 TRX is not just a truck; it’s a collector's item with immense value, especially due to its production-ending rarity. As we transition to the Ram 1500 RHO, which will lack a supercharged V8 option, the TRX will appreciate in value, with clean, low-mile examples frequently crossing the $75,000 to $110,000 threshold at auction houses like Bring a Trailer, Mecum, and Barrett-Jackson. Special editions such as the Sandblast and Final Editions further enhance the value. Proper documentation, including service history and proof of supercharger maintenance, is crucial for maximizing the truck's collector potential.
