@Dylan Benedict Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I am realizing something in some people when it comes to the TRX, this one cost 150k yet some don’t even think of the price, but when it comes to the raptor, the R didn’t even come and people are complaining that it would be expensive
I think a realistic number for a v8 Raptor is ~80k. The smart play for Ford is just offer the v8 as an engine upgrade and keep everything else as is. If they can put a V8 in AND make it cheaper than Ram, then in my opinion, they’ve won that fight
@@Lawestyo1 Well not just in these comments But there are people whom would kinda ignore the price of a TRX but will definitely complain that a raptor is expensive, heck, I have seen comments where people already judging the R that it would be very expensive when it didn’t even come
It’s criminal the markup on these things. I question the demand for these also. I bought a 2500 last month in NJ. 2 weeks ago I picked up my plates and there was a TRX on the lot for 96k. Website price is 122k. If the demand was that high it wouldn’t still be sitting there 2 weeks later. Why anyone would be willing to pay 25-50k over sticker is insane. What for? Just to say you were one of the firsts to have one. 🤷
Remember when the PT Cruiser 1st came out. People where paying $5 too $10 K over MSRP. The same with Hellcats and Demons. Hell there is a brand new 2018 Black Demon. Still for in the Philippines for $258,000 US dollars.
Some people have so much money that they just don't care. Friend of mine sells Fords. He had a customer come in and buy a Shelby Raptor and a GT500 in one transaction. Paid cash, including $50K in markups.
I NEVER pay MSRP on any vehicle, let alone ANY MARK-UP Price! Stealers are ALREADY making a BIG profit on vehicles, that;s why there are so many car STEALERS in the marketplace! It's just PURE GREED!
Agreeing with most comments here. Nice truck, but the mark-up is in NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM WORTH IT. No matter if it is a limited edition or not, the truck model itself is a mass produced product. There is no way you are going to be able to ever recoup 50K over MSRP.
I hope they checked all the bolts in the suspension to make sure they were all there and make sure they were tight. Oh and make sure they werent all cross threaded. I drove through a dodge dealer where my friends are techs and they have 2 trx there one the heated seats didnt work and the other had a whine coming from the transfer case.
The Ram truck are some super good looking trucks. But not $150,000 super good looking. Man that is an expensive 1500 pickup truck to me. Thanks for sharing the review of this TRX Ben and you do great vehicle reviews.
super jealous that the TRX gets all the interior stuff gloss black instead of silver. all the other 1500s even Night Editions have tons of silver trim all over the interior
Wow, for an additional $55,000, you get a Battleship Gray truck instead of one of 15 other colors! What a deal! I bet that for less than $2,000 you can get a wrap done in the same Battleship Gray and pocket the remaining $48,000?
It be nice to have gun box under both seats like a hunting edition but more military themed/special forces with real steel doors all 4x and the bed door in the rear also steel. The sunroof in a more circular shape with handle bars on each side so when you stick half your body you can grab on you get the idea. I'm visualizing at the desert shooting targets out the sunroof with my AR15.
exactly and this truck is still a pavement warrior. Not meant for anything else. On paper it beats the raptor but in the real world, trx cant even leave the dealer lot, because it wont make it back!
50K mark up is BS. Car makers should put a limit on that. That is all profit for the dealer taking peoples money. Have no prob with the 97K MSRP but not putting all the extra money in the dealerships pocket.
Is the launch edition worth another fifty Grand ($12.150.00, on the monroney sticker). Honest answer: Yes if you really had been waiting for it to be released and a BIG no because it doesn't have a text tag of x/xxx numbers of units being built. Nothing is going to prove it being a launch edition except the sticker, the re-sale value is going to be proved by it's condition.
In the next couple of months I'll be in the market for 3/4 ton. I'm leaning towards the Ram 2500. Could you do a review comparing two Ram 2500, one with the air suspension and one without?
I just priced out a TRX Launch Edition on the RAM website with the tire mount RAMbar and a couple other options- $97k. Is dealer markup really over $50k?
Some guy posted a list of dealers who will sell at MSRP in the US so you may want to check around and do some googling. My dealer in Canada will sell it at MSRP but I am waiting for the 2022 because it will have the updated Uconnect 5. I'm also hoping they will offer Ramboxes in 2022 because I need them.
@@ImYoutubing247 they take advantage of free advertising on RUclips videos and charge more than vehicle being invoiced at. Like in da hood when they buy Jordan's they sell for $50 or more.
Luckily this dealer markup wasn’t nearly that high. It was right there along with the markups on the non launch Trx’s. Other dealers were asking 30-50k over for their limited supply but this particular dealer was “fair” about it. I hate dealer markups, but it’s part of the car buying game unfortunately
I have a launch edition that I did not order at launch but found it for sale in February, I did not pay $150k you can definitely find one for closer to $100k but with only 702 made you do have to get lucky for sure... it is not worth $150k, better off ordering one new and paying MSRP and then wrapping it like Ben did its the same truck other than the color and the special badge...
I love this truck but hate the price. With gasoline projected to be all time high next year I think the TRX might be subjected to a weekend car show thing before you know it.
LMAO, just wait about a year or 2 and you'll be able to get these new a large discounts just like every FCA product. This isn't a limited production car like the Demon. There is no point of paying that much over sticker for a mass produced vehicle.
No its not worth $150K. In my area there is a dealer asking about $10K over MSRP. they have 3 and are all black. Using Cars.com there are some dealers advertising to sell TRX at MSRP, they might be bait and switch to get you in the dealership
I think we're really getting out of hand with the price of vehicles all I drive is Ram trucks but at that price I'll just go get a ram Rebel add a supercharger put a replica Hood and maybe some fender flares and have a truck that looks like the TRX but at half the price. Don't get me wrong it's an amazing truck but I'm not spending no 150k for a new truck
So launch edition helps resale but paying 50k over sticker pretty much kill that perk, lol...... Sane as new vette....I drove it and sure it's nice but to pay well over sticker just to have people at stop light I don't even know say "he has one" I'll never understand......you can build pretty damn truck for 80-90k
It’s not a 150k truck. It’s a 70k truck that Ram churches up to make people think they should pay more. They are awesome. But people need to stop buying at these ridiculous prices. Then the shit will atop..... I know that’ll never happen but we as the buyers let them get away with the crazy markups. Let them sit for a year or two!!
I think it’s better, because it gives people (especially whom love ram) a choice when buying the TRX, raptor for example will now have 2 engine options, either the high output V6 or a supercharged V8 (that will arrive next year) I feel like this is a good idea,
Ok, seriously, what's the deal with wraps? Who says that, just because you're a RUclips guy, you have to wrap your truck?!? Ben, yours looked waaaay better before you wrapped it - & this one looks awesome in anvil. If it ain't broke... 😎
The price of being "first" is relative however, if it were personalized buy FCA/Ram from the factory as they did years ago with the SRT10 pick-up trucks, then the juice might be worth he squeeze to some but not dropping extra cash for a launch edition to dealers for their bank accounts. That's just being foolish with your money and most people are taking on hefty monthly payments simply to say, "I have one"... As an aside, the TRX is going to be on the secondary market very soon at discounted pricing with jojo's the sniffer's circus running things now and gasoline is going to cost $5/gal. VERY soon.
@@BenHardyCars I have seen one in person. I still don't like it. I think it was all those years. In the US Navy. Looking at Battleship Gray ships LOL !!! .
My question is, can it tow a fuel tanker trailer ? Because after you spend 150,000 on this thing, do you really want to live at the gas station ? I don't care how much money you have to blow, this thing is ridiculous. But if you want to pay for the cock wagging between Dodge and Ford, go for it.
I've driven trucks and SUVs (full size, mostly) for almost all of the last 30 years, though I currently drive a car. Drove a rented Ram Rebel last summer, which is sort of like this -- at least, in terms of hood cover. Seeing over the hood is a real problem and will be very difficult for people who aren't over 6' tall. I'm right at 6' and I struggled. Yeah, I could see down the road but seeing a side railing or highway barrier that was just off the lane, for example, was almost impossible. I didn't know if I would hit it while driving. I would not have liked that truck and it appears I wouldn't like this (even if I would buy a Chrysler product, which I never would -- but that's another story). Anyway, for those interested in this or similar trucks, PLEASE, spend a few hours test driving it. DO NOT let the dealer rush you in the buying process.
My god ram interior is beautiful
Yes! I think the exterior is beautiful!!!🥰
would i pay 80K for a TRX? yes. 150k? hell no, just wait 8-12 months for the stupid dealer markups to go away
Funny at first everyone was hating ford for raptor mark ups ! I guess ram loves money also
How much the markup?? Thought TRX Launch edition is $92K? So $60K markup??

How close is this color to the grey on the Mazda Carbon editions?
Is the Ram TRX a badass truck? Yes!
Is it worth $150k? Definitely not
lol, some people think it is and apparently they are sold out
I’ll stick to my built to serve edition in this same same color!
Congrats to Kyle, bad ass truck for sure!
Do you think the lunar edition will have all of these exact same features just different colors for stitching and paint?
RAM does have the nicest interiors in the Truck game hands down.
Love it. Have a 21 Laramie night edition. Had 18 rebel.. 🐏Fam

I agree, imo over stickering for ANY car more than like 5 to 10k should be illegal as it’s nothing but dealers being greedy bc it’s a new model
Yes should be considered price gauging and illegal.
I dig that color!!!😝👍
Power Wagon 75th Anniversary edition in the same color ftw
And Ben are you planning to get the raptor R or the plain Ecobeast?
Both
I hate the bright green on your TRX, but now that you say it, you’re absolutely right that you’ll get more views with it.
Awesome review
I hope they bring back this color its beautiful
I have 2 questions please
1 do you know if it has power running bords
2 do you know if it will have the 60/40 tailgate
