May be a moot point, however there are dealers offering substantial rebates on TRXs. If they aren’t local to you, the savings is well worth traveling or having it shipped. As an example, Dan Cummins CDJR is offering 4% below invoice pricing for TRXs, ask for Miles Goff or Devin Arnold if interested. Either way, you wound up with a killer truck!

It's a supercharged 700hp 6500+lb 37" tire 4x4 truck with heavy duty parts with the aerodynamic properties of a brick. Nothing about this truck says 400miles on a single tank, yet the bigger named auto and youtube auto journalist say it's the peak show off of American excessiveness. Nothing about anything from Dodge/Ram of the last decade has said anything other than, you're going to be smiling laughing and having just as much fun for less than the competition. If you want to be seen as "saving the world" buy a Prius, because they were marketed just for that.

I'm on my 3rd Ram, a 5.7 Hemi (probably my last given where Fiat and Stellantis have gone with the brand), and I really love that they came out with the TRX. It's a beautiful truck (except for the grille). But I have to say, I DESPISE the transmission they put on it. Why make an enthusiast/performance truck and pair it with a minivan transmission? It's idiotic. I have the same transmission in my Ram and I absolutely hate it. It's the single worst thing about my truck. The TRX...D E S E R V E D...a manual transmission. And the 1986 Ford Taurus shifter in the center console makes me nauseous every time I see it. To be fair, Ford is guilty of the same thing with the Raptor, but that's no excuse for Dodge/Ram to follow them. I've been a Mopar fan for as long as I can remember, so seeing this makes me both angry and sick at the same time. I truly would've loved to own a TRX, but, despite it being grossly overpriced, I wouldn't be able to stomach driving it with that ridiculous transmission. And there's no MDS on the TRX, so they can't even try to gaslight people about the manual being less efficient, or not being able to handle the power, or any of the other BS/drivel they spew whenever anyone asks them for a manual transmission. Thanks for the excellent review, as always, Miles. Please pardon my utter disappointment and absolute disgust regarding what could have been an amazing truck. I mean, they even f**ked up the freaking flappy paddles on the steering wheel. Just....aaaaaargh!!!
