These trucks, produced between 2021 and 2024, represent the pinnacle of high-performance half-ton trucks.

As the production of the TRX comes to an end, it marks a significant chapter in automotive history—an era defined by power, performance, and a commitment to excellence. Your donation not only supports our mission but also ensures that the legacy of the TRX lives on, allowing future generations to appreciate the engineering marvels that represent the very best in American automotive innovation.

Ram 1500 TRX • 2021-2024
The TRX is the ultimate apex predator, engineered to dominate off-road with its supercharged Hemi V8, advanced suspension, and unmatched performance capabilities. With limited production runs, including the TRX Sandblast and TRX Final Edition, these models are destined for collector status.
Known issues by generation
The Ram 1500 TRX does come with some model-specific considerations to keep in mind for potential donors. Known issues may arise with the supercharged 6.2L Hemi V8, particularly regarding the supercharger snout bearing and MDS lifter failures. As with any high-performance vehicle, preventive maintenance is essential, including checking supercharger components and ensuring the MDS recall has been completed. The adaptive Bilstein shocks may require servicing for optimal performance, and regular inspections of the drivetrain and axles will help maintain vehicle integrity. Donors should ensure that the vehicle has been well cared for and has documented maintenance history to maximize its collector value.
Donation value by condition + generation
As we observe the trends in the collector market, the Ram 1500 TRX, especially the limited-run variants like the Sandblast and Final Edition, are on the rise in value. With their production ending in 2024, these trucks are becoming instant collector items, reflecting their historic significance within the modern American muscle lineage. Clean, low-mileage examples can command values ranging from $75,000 to over $110,000 at auction. Documentation of any service history, especially regarding the supercharger and Bilstein shocks, will add to their desirability. Given their unique status and performance pedigree, these vehicles are destined to appreciate further as they become rarer in the market.
Donation process for this model
Donating your Ram 1500 TRX, Sandblast, or Final Edition to Indy Car Connect is a straightforward process. We strongly recommend a consultation with a qualified appraiser to assess the vehicle's value, particularly as IRS Form 8283 Section B will be heavily applicable. For any clean example, you can expect a donation value typically exceeding $75,000, which could significantly benefit our mission. We encourage donors to provide original paint documentation, service history, and any records related to supercharger or shock maintenance to enhance the donation's impact.
