Browse all trucksRam TRX
702 horsepower. Supercharged 6.2L V8. It’s built to go fast in the dirt, not to work.
People buy it thinking it can do everything. It can’t.
Nebraska and Midwest listings:
Original MSRP ranged from ~$72k to over $100k depending on options.
Depreciation exists, but it’s not normal truck depreciation. It’s tied to hype and limited production.
When demand dips, these drop fast. When it spikes, they hold.
It’s violent.
You don’t “plan” merges. You just go.
On long Nebraska highways, it feels effortless. No strain, ever.
This is where it’s engineered to work.
You can run washboard roads at speed without losing control.
Most trucks rattle apart doing that. This one stays planted.
Ram did the interior right.
You can daily it without feeling like you’re in a stripped truck.
Reality:
At 15,000 miles/year, you’re burning through fuel like a diesel under load, without doing diesel work.
That’s $3,000–$5,000 a year in fuel depending on prices.
No one talks about it upfront. They notice later.
Rated around 8,100 lbs.
That sounds fine until you compare it.
A standard Ram 2500 or even a basic half-ton beats it for stability and endurance.
Soft suspension hurts towing:
It’s not a work truck. Stop pretending it is.
It’s wide. Really wide.
You feel the width every day, not just off-road.
Factory 35-inch tires.
Brakes aren’t cheap either. This is a heavy, fast truck.
Everything wears faster because of weight and power.
4x4 helps. Weight helps.
Still has issues:
It’s manageable. Not confidence-inspiring like a more balanced truck.
2021 TRX, 19k miles, clean history.
Reason it sat:
Fuel cost complaints. Insurance quotes scared off buyers.
Same dealership moved a diesel Ram 2500 in 9 days at similar price.
Function beats flash when people think it through.
Insurance is high.
It’s classified closer to a performance vehicle than a standard truck.
Add fuel, tires, and maintenance:
You’re easily $6k–$10k/year into ownership without counting depreciation.
Same basic engine family as Hellcat cars.
Downside:
Out of warranty repairs aren’t small.
Built for speed, not load.
You load the bed, it sags faster than a standard half-ton.
Full-time capable system with multiple modes.
Works well. Not the weak point.
Weak point is everything around it when used outside its design.
Not contractors. Not farmers. Not anyone who depends on a truck for income.
TRX is fast, capable at speed off-road, and expensive to own.
It burns fuel, limits towing practicality, and costs more to maintain than most trucks in its class.
It works as a performance toy. It fails as a primary work truck.
That’s the reality.
