I got my 2021 TRX used with 5k miles. Silver color like the one there. Had 2 paid off 2016 Hellcats I traded even across the table. One owner, taken care of. Came with Fuel wheels, quality subwoofer & amp, level 2 package, power steps, panoramic, carbon fiber interior, etc. Love it! No regrets. Daily driver. 11 mpg+ consistently. Pedal commander helps lag. 5 STARS!

[@LutherMahoney]

I am actually right behind you. I live out in OR and it will be SUPER helpful for the inclement weather often here. I am buying it for 95k cash with no payments so the gas mileage won't be a concern with no monthly payment.

[@leonardrice2830]

@@LutherMahoney hello. How is it going with yourTRX? Ben Hardy has been putting out videos tracking the softening of the auto market I was considering selling mine, but I just cannot seem to bring myself to do that. The overall band width of the package is just too good. When I had my hellcats, I would always have to carefully modulate the gas pedal, but in the Trx, I find even when conditions are not ideal. I can simply just go trips for fun, or going to work, the Trx is just great. I just hope it doesn’t get caught up. in the negative car culture like the dodge hellcats have; thefts, takeovers, etc. Take care!

If you got the money...nothing is bad idea...bad idea only come when you broke 😆

Agreed 😂

Best explained reviewed I watched, didn’t skipped anything, told it how it was

[@BamaTidefan1967]

My only question is did they buy this truck at auction or did someone trade it in? Also what could you possibly buy from a GMC dealer that that would warrant trading in a TRX? Most of GMs vehicles have been junk for quite awhile.

[@boomee78]

you really cant assume some ones situation. Sometimes people have to change do to money or lifestyle. Also i have seen people with current Gm vehicle specifically trucks have good expereinces and bad ones it could be hit or miss. or maybe he bought something else out of the used lot

[@Richie23OO]

Or he's got the money to Spend so he got a TRX then wanted to try out a ZR2 or AT4X for a year??

[@BamaTidefan1967]

@@Richie23OO The ZR2 whatever has got to be a big disappointment compared to a TRX. Underpowered for sure and having the threat of whether or not you're going to have cam\lifter problems hanging over your head.

[@superchargedtwinturbo]

TRX is another class, it's a super truck for only people that really want or need it for their own enjoyment.

[@jakes5530]

Ive seen them listed for under $85k online 5-10k under msrp when new… not a bad deal for what you get. The used ones that are marked up to 100k+ would be a pretty poor purchase.

[@sven_the_giant]

I looked at a new TRX base model for $102k in Littleton, CO. My mind was blown

[@DanielGonzalez-cg9ng]

Not true I purchased my 2021 TRX with 32k miles on it for a killer price tag of 75k. Mine is the same color as the one on the video.

[@jakes5530]

@@DanielGonzalez-cg9ng original comment was july 2022. Totally different market back then. Now you can probably find new TRX marked down $5k off msrp and used in the $70-75k range.

[@stainless1175able]

Just saw a new one listed nearby ,with a 25k markup. Yay!

[@joefurrer5428]

My neighbor bought a TRX in April he paid $109,000 for it every option you could get drove it for 3 months had 1300 miles on it works in California doing construction was spending $70 a day for gas was getting 8 miles to gallon sold it to a private party in California for $125,000 because the person didn't want to pay the extra sales tax and drop the price lower when he registered it in California neighbor ended up buying a rebel diesel for 72,000 fully loaded that should tell you something. He's getting 23 to 24 miles per gallon with this truck.

[@ohrandyrandy]

For real Joe. When you put your foot into it, the mpg is actually more like 5 mpg. Unless you own your own gas station...??? 😎

[@kenmccune8843]

Buying a used dodge trx are so awesome truck they are like a new trx

[@moorefaith23]

It's a horrible idea when you can currently buy one for $9k off MSRP brand new

[@kwadwoadufo1034]

Will like you to subject the Raptor R to the same maltreatment as you did to the TRX for comparison. ie jump the Raptor.

[@BenHardyCars]

If ford will sell me one lol

[@cargopilotguy305]

I’m buying one. Having my wife pick it up since I’m in Germany at the moment. I spent $88k OTD.

Smart man, because Dodge trucks are garbage

[@LCculater]

Does it have a known driveline driveshaft spline issue ?FYI the new info 5.0 has drop off problems as well so why not be honest ?

[@joshup]

At this current moment I'm trying to decide if I want a used trx or a new rho? What do you think?

[@chapowiththesticks]

I plan on buying a used one tbh

[@itzreece6347]

I see how a ton of people who own the higher performance mopars and I wouldn't buy a used one unless I know the person who owned it and how they drove it regularly. Too much wear driving hard and doing burnouts.

[@BenHardyCars]

Good thing the trx can’t do a burnout lol

[@MrZolanvar]

You can’t say super reliable when you only have driven 15000 miles

[@BenHardyCars]

Hellcats have been shown to go well over 100k easy soooo

[@MrZolanvar]

@@BenHardyCars sure that might be true,however you haven’t driven you truck for over 100000miles .I like your videos that why I thought I should tell you , because if this was my first time seeing your video I wouldn’t Take your opinion seriously after saying my truck is super reliable after 15000 miles. I think super reliable means to most people when a vehicle goes hundreds of thousands of miles without a major issues .

[@hbanyea]

No you should not buy used!! it’s gonna cost you as much ( just about ), someone definitely beat it & warranty!!

[@weirdshibainu]

Are those rock chips or dirt on the front end?

[@BenHardyCars]

Dirt

[@Thefloorsspeakyiddish]

I just don’t trust used vehicles with the Hellcat engine. Especially a truck that can be jumped. For all I know, every truck I look at has done the Baja 1000 and launch controlled every stoplight on the way to Mexico. No way Jose (pun intended)

[@maxcaz17]

Debating about getting one, can pay it in full, I’m just concerned about the fuel economy

[@mdcollins3806]

Crazy money 💰 💵💰💵 being spent on vehicles. It’s insane. Only about 30% of people who buy these really expensive vehicles can actually afford them. The other 70% are “VEHICLE POOR”…..All they can do is make their vehicle payment and not much more, and some now can’t even afford the gas/diesel for their vehicles….In the end it’s your own money 💰 so do with it as you please. I’ll keep my paid for, bought used so not to take the crazy hit, 2015 Yukon Denali XL 4x4….I know it’s no Ram TRX but it’s mine and it’s paid for and I can buy all the gas I need for it!!

[@chltmdwp]

Me being a single male in the military with housing all paid for, I am gonna get this. Living on base, it will be a short travel to work so the gas won't be that much of an issue.

[@_LAND_OF_THE_FREE_]

I would say so you know people beat on it 😆 .

[@weirdshibainu]

I don't trust the supercharger to last more than 50,000 miles

[@BenHardyCars]

Hellcats have already passed that

[@jrsforest187]

If you can actually afford one without suffering the massive payments, replacing engine parts shouldn't matter.

[@jollyranch1026]

No not a bad idea as long as it’s not the one that jumped on KZbin
