Review on which the TRX?

The TRX is definitely a beast and alot of Fun to drive. This is our 2nd TRX (had a ‘22 first). But traded the first TRX in on a F250 tremor. Back story is we trade often. Usually keep 3 new cars and traded each of them out twice last year (ya 6 total trades in ‘23). Only ever had 1 truck in the past at a time. But I started getting the itch again for a diesel truck and decide this time to trade the ‘23 challenger hellcat(only 900 miles) we had we the 2500. Just couldnt stand not to have the TRX anymore. The TRX is a blast to drive. Everywhere you go someone has to stop and talk about it. We have had a Z06, couple GT500’s, Hellcats, raptors, and a trackhawk. But none of them got the attention like the TRX does. Actually had a ‘23 Raptor (not a R unfortunately) that was traded in on the TRX and it was nothing compared to the TRX. The only thing the raptor was good for was a trade in. Was able to get more out of it thenI had in it. But dont miss it at all.

Thanks.Junior definitely has plans. He knows when he turns 16 it will be his. Also he is definitely a big boots person. He just took his own Christmas money and bought his own pair of Lucchese’s. He is all about boots and hats. Lol

Thanks. It’s nice to have a garage that is deep enough not to have to worry about them fitting. The 10’ wide door help also for faster entering and exiting. Lol

Nice truck choices! Have had a few TRXs and believe they’re the best all around vehicle ever. Kinda miss having one but the prices have gotten out of control so I’m waiting for them to continue to drop to grab another.

Your right prices on them have got out of control.Both I have had was/are Level 1’s due to prices. The ‘22 I had i got it for 4% under invoice so it was about $76k. Had to buy the ‘23 off the lot. But got a good deal since buy so often. Like to have a ‘24 but prices are just to ridiculous

Yea my first was a 22 level 1 from Koons, 85k sticker for 72k. Traded that on a sandblast that someone offered me stupid money for a month later so dumper it. Last one was a 23 base model from Mark Dodge, off the lot got 6k off. They’re great trucks.

Just don’t wheel them through much with that exhaust under the rear bumper, it won’t last long.

You mean hitting in rocks?

Dont worry. Will not be doing much “wheeling” in either truck. They may get muddy but will not be around any rocks

Watched a dip in the road smash the driver side tip and later in the day, backing over another pushed the passenger side forward to the point it was melting plastic in the fender. They have both been cut back to behind the bumper since, so OK now.
When I was truck shopping, exhaust eliminated all 1/2 tons from contention.

Never had any issues. Now I wasn’t in Moab but I found my way into lots of offroad fun in Florida. Mainly at private ranges after some fun and testosterone flowing! Exhaust was never an issue
