The Ram 1500 TRX and its special editions—TRX Sandblast and TRX Final Edition—represent the apex of American muscle engineering, merging powerful performance with modern luxury. Aimed at off-road enthusiasts and collectors alike, these vehicles showcase a 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8, delivering an exhilarating 702hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. Their production ended in 2024, marking a significant moment in automotive history and creating an instant-collector status for these trucks. By donating your TRX, you contribute not just to Wheels for Wellness, but also help preserve the legacy of a muscle truck that stands against the likes of the Ford Raptor.
As Stellantis transitions to the Ram 1500 RHO with its 2025+ Hurricane inline-six, the TRX will be remembered as the last of its kind. Collectors are keenly aware of the production-ended rarity premium, making now the perfect time to support a cause while ensuring your TRX remains a celebrated icon of modern performance.
