    I got my 2021 TRX used with 5k miles. Silver color like the one there. Had 2 paid off 2016 Hellcats I traded even across the table. One owner, taken care of. Came with Fuel wheels, quality subwoofer & amp, level 2 package, power steps, panoramic, carbon fiber interior, etc. Love it! No regrets. Daily driver. 11 mpg+ consistently. Pedal commander helps lag. 5 STARS!

      I am actually right behind you. I live out in OR and it will be SUPER helpful for the inclement weather often here. I am buying it for 95k cash with no payments so the gas mileage won't be a concern with no monthly payment.

      @@LutherMahoney hello. How is it going with yourTRX? Ben Hardy has been putting out videos tracking the softening of the auto market I was considering selling mine, but I just cannot seem to bring myself to do that. The overall band width of the package is just too good. When I had my hellcats, I would always have to carefully modulate the gas pedal, but in the Trx, I find even when conditions are not ideal. I can simply just go trips for fun, or going to work, the Trx is just great. I just hope it doesn’t get caught up. in the negative car culture like the dodge hellcats have; thefts, takeovers, etc. Take care!

    My neighbor bought a TRX in April he paid $109,000 for it every option you could get drove it for 3 months had 1300 miles on it works in California doing construction was spending $70 a day for gas was getting 8 miles to gallon sold it to a private party in California for $125,000 because the person didn't want to pay the extra sales tax and drop the price lower when he registered it in California neighbor ended up buying a rebel diesel for 72,000 fully loaded that should tell you something. He's getting 23 to 24 miles per gallon with this truck.

    My only question is did they buy this truck at auction or did someone trade it in? Also what could you possibly buy from a GMC dealer that that would warrant trading in a TRX? Most of GMs vehicles have been junk for quite awhile.

    Crazy money 💰 💵💰💵 being spent on vehicles. It’s insane. Only about 30% of people who buy these really expensive vehicles can actually afford them. The other 70% are “VEHICLE POOR”…..All they can do is make their vehicle payment and not much more, and some now can’t even afford the gas/diesel for their vehicles….In the end it’s your own money 💰 so do with it as you please. I’ll keep my paid for, bought used so not to take the crazy hit, 2015 Yukon Denali XL 4x4….I know it’s no Ram TRX but it’s mine and it’s paid for and I can buy all the gas I need for it!!
