📖Generation guide
Ram 1500 TRX • 2021-2024
The Ram 1500 TRX is the pinnacle of performance in the half-ton truck segment, featuring a 702hp supercharged Hemi V8 and advanced off-road capabilities. Available variants include the TRX Sandblast and the 2024 TRX Final Edition, both of which are poised to become instant classics.
Known issues by generation
The Ram 1500 TRX, particularly from 2021 to 2024, is known for its dominant 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8. However, some common issues may arise, including potential wear on the snout bearing of the supercharger and MDS lifter failures. It's critical to verify the history of these repairs for optimal performance and value retention. The Bilstein BDS shock absorbers may also require rebuilding after extensive off-road use, so maintaining a thorough service record is essential for prospective donors.
Donation value by condition + generation
The Ram 1500 TRX models have demonstrated robust growth in the collector market due to their production-ending rarity. Examples in pristine condition often fetch between $75,000 and $110,000 at auctions, with the TRX Final Edition commanding a premium for its send-off badging. Keeping original paint and a full service history enhances value further, making it vital to maintain documentation on repairs, especially for the supercharger and suspension components. As these models become harder to find, their desirability continues to escalate, affirming their status as instant collector's items.
