The Ram 1500 TRX, especially in its Final Edition and limited Sandblast variants, represents the pinnacle of American truck engineering from 2021 to 2024. This is not just a vehicle; it's an instant collector's item, marking the end of an era for supercharged Hemi V8 engines as Stellantis transitions to turbocharged alternatives. Each TRX is a testament to engineering prowess, delivering unmatched off-road performance and on-road power with its 702hp supercharged Hemi V8. Whether you own the standard model, the exclusive Sandblast Edition, or the Final Edition, your donation can significantly contribute to the community while preserving the legacy of this remarkable vehicle.
As production has ceased, the TRX and its variants are poised for appreciation in value, making it crucial to maintain their history and service documentation. We appreciate the preventive maintenance that TRX owners like you have invested in their vehicles to ensure they remain collector-grade. By donating your TRX, you not only support Twin City Wheels but also participate in a significant automotive legacy.

Known issues by generation
The Ram 1500 TRX, while an engineering marvel, does have a few known issues that potential donors should be aware of. The 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8 can exhibit snout-bearing pre-failures, particularly in high-mileage vehicles or those that have been over-tuned. Owners should also check for the supercharger coupler isolator's condition, as failures can occur. MDS (Multi-Displacement System) lifter failures have been noted on this platform, making it important to ensure that recall work has been performed. Additionally, the TorqueFlite 8HP70 transmission is robust but can show wear in high-mileage vehicles, especially when subjected to aggressive driving. Lastly, ensuring the Bilstein-BDS shocks are in good condition is essential for maintaining optimal performance.
Donation value by condition + generation
The value of a Ram 1500 TRX is heavily influenced by its condition and history, especially considering its production-end rarity. Donated examples in pristine condition, especially those with documented service history and no modifications, routinely fetch values between $75,000 and $110,000 at auctions like Bring a Trailer and Mecum. Collector premiums apply for the TRX Sandblast and Final Edition models, as well as for original paint jobs, particularly those in halo colors. It's crucial to maintain documentation of all service and maintenance, including any work done on the supercharger and shocks, to maximize the vehicle's value in the collector market.
Donation process for this model
Donating your Ram 1500 TRX is a meaningful way to contribute to Twin City Wheels. We recommend having your vehicle professionally appraised to understand its value, especially since IRS Form 8283 Section B will be heavily applicable for any TRX valued over $5,000. Enclosed transport is desired for low-mileage, clean examples to ensure they arrive in pristine condition. Documentation of original paint, service history receipts, and any maintenance performed on critical components like the supercharger and suspension are essential for all donations.
