How Much Is a Ram TRX? The Short Answer and the Real One

New, a 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX starts at $99,995 plus $2,595 destination. Used, the answer depends entirely on which of 1,354 listed trucks you are looking at, and this walks through both.

A new 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX starts at $99,995 plus a $2,595 destination charge, before options, taxes, and fees. A used 2021-2024 Ram 1500 TRX is asking anywhere from the high $60,000s to the mid $90,000s right now, and which end you land on depends almost entirely on model year and mileage. There is no single "TRX price." There is a new-truck number that is fixed by Ram, and a used-market number that moves every week depending on what is actually listed for sale.

What a new 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX actually costs

Ram's starting MSRP for the Ram 1500 SRT TRX is $99,995. Add the $2,595 destination charge and you are at $102,590 before you touch the options list, before your state's taxes and title fees, and before whatever your dealer decides to add on top.

That $99,995 figure is a floor, not a transaction price. It is the base configuration: cloth or base leather, no widebody paint fees, no bed and interior packages. Real-world SRT TRX window stickers will run higher once options are added, and given this is the first vehicle out of the relaunched SRT division and demand at launch is unknown, do not assume you will find one at a dealer for sticker. Whether dealers mark these up, hold at MSRP, or discount will depend on your region and how fast the first production run moves. Production only started August 3, 2026, at Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, so as of this writing the SRT TRX has been in customer hands for a matter of weeks. There is no used market for it worth calling a market yet, and no long-term ownership cost data exists. Anyone quoting you resale value or year-two depreciation on this truck is guessing.

The mechanical case for the price jump is real, even if the discount case isn't yet: the 2027 SRT TRX's 6.2L supercharged HEMI makes 777 hp and 680 lb-ft, a 75 hp and 30 lb-ft bump over the 2021-2024 TRX's 702 hp and 650 lb-ft. If you want the specifics on what changed between the two trucks beyond the horsepower number, that is covered in what actually changed on the 2027 SRT TRX.

What a used 2021-2024 Ram 1500 TRX actually costs

Here is where "it depends" stops being a dodge and becomes the honest answer. Based on live listings on the site's own pricing data, the average asking price by model year looks like this:

Model yearAvg asking priceLive listings
2021$69,505341
2022$75,944521
2023$84,930226
2024$94,560266

Those are averages across 1,354 used listings currently on the market, and they are asking prices, not transaction prices. An asking price is what a seller typed into the listing. A transaction price is what actually changed hands after negotiation, trade-in credit, or a dealer's end-of-month incentive got applied. The gap between the two is usually a few thousand dollars on a truck like this, more if the listing has been sitting, less on a clean, low-mile 2024 that a dealer knows will move fast. Nobody publishes a clean number for actual transaction prices on used TRXs the way new-car data gets tracked, so treat every figure above as a starting point for a negotiation, not a price tag.

The straight-line climb from 2021 to 2024 is not random. It roughly tracks how close each model year is to the end of production (February 2024) and how much depreciation each one has had time to absorb. A 2021 has had a few years to accumulate miles, previous owners, and wear; a 2024 might have a few thousand miles on it and still smell like the dealership. If you are cross-shopping specific years, the used TRX buying guide walks through what to check on each before you sign anything, and a longer breakdown of used pricing patterns lives at Ram TRX price: new MSRP and what used ones actually sell for.

Why the supply looks the way it does

The listing counts themselves tell part of the pricing story. Right now there are 341 2021s for sale, 521 2022s, 226 2023s, and 266 2024s. That is not an even split, and it should not be. Ram built these trucks from December 2020 through February 2024 at Sterling Heights Assembly, a run of a little over three years, and 2022 was the first full calendar year of production with no launch ramp-up and no wind-down, which is a plausible reason it has the deepest pool of listings. Fewer 2023s and 2024s on the market at any given moment, combined with those trucks being newer and lower-mile on average, is consistent with why they carry a higher average asking price than the glut of 2022s.

This also means the "deal" truck and the "safe" truck are not the same truck. A 2021 at $69,505 average is the cheapest way into a TRX, but it is also carrying the most miles and the longest ownership history, for better or worse. A 2024 at $94,560 average is close to new-truck money once you add tax and fees to a lightly-discounted new leftover, if you can even find one, but it comes with the least wear and the most factory warranty left on the clock. There is no wrong answer here, just a tradeoff you should make on purpose instead of by accident.

What the price does not include

Whatever number you land on, new or used, it is not the number you will actually spend to own the truck. Four categories get forgotten at the moment of purchase and show up on the first bill after:

  • Taxes. Sales tax on a six-figure (new) or high-five-figure (used) truck is not small money, and it varies by state and sometimes by county.
  • Registration and title fees. These vary by state and by the vehicle's declared value, and some states charge more for heavier trucks.
  • Insurance. A 702-hp or 777-hp truck with this kind of performance history and replacement cost is not going to price like a base Tradesman. Get a quote before you buy, not after.
  • Fuel. A supercharged 6.2L V8 moving a truck this size is not going to sip anything. Budget accordingly, but do not expect a number here; it depends entirely on your driving.

None of these categories have a dollar figure attached in this guide on purpose. They vary too much by state, by driver, and by insurer to state honestly as a single number, and a fake-precise figure here would be worse than no figure at all.

New versus used, in one paragraph

If you want the extra 75 hp, the newest safety and infotainment hardware, and you can absorb $102,590-plus before options as a starting point, the 2027 SRT TRX is the only truck that gets you there, and it is worth reading what changed on the 2027 truck before you order one, because some of what changed is not just the engine. If you want a truck with a few years of real ownership history behind it and the biggest used inventory to shop against, the 2021-2024 TRX at an average of $69,505 to $94,560 depending on year is the deeper, more forgiving market, and the live listings will show you exactly what is out there today rather than an average from three months ago. Owners cross-shopping either truck against the newer six-cylinder Ram RHO should also read TRX vs RHO: the honest comparison before deciding, since the RHO undercuts both on price with a very different engine.

The short version

  • New 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX: $99,995 MSRP plus $2,595 destination, before options, tax, and fees. No used market or ownership data exists yet.
  • Used 2021-2024 TRX: average asking prices run $69,505 (2021) to $94,560 (2024) across 1,354 live listings, and asking price is not transaction price.
  • The year-by-year price climb tracks depreciation and how close each model year sits to the end of the roughly three-year 2021-2024 production run, not randomness.
  • Taxes, registration, insurance, and fuel are real costs on top of any number above; none get a dollar figure here because none are verified for your state or your situation.
