Overview: This Truck Isn’t Losing Value—It’s Making a Statement
At AppraisalEngine.com, we don’t just look at horsepower—we appraise value. And the 2021 RAM 1500 TRX is a standout in today’s performance truck market. With 38,000 miles on the odometer and four years since launch, it’s still holding strong at over $74,000 retail ACV.

Why the TRX Holds Strong in Today’s Market
Legendary Engine
The 702-hp Supercharged HEMI® V8 is now a legacy motor. With Stellantis phasing out V8s and no electrified replacement that matches its sound or soul, demand remains high.
Off-Road Engineering, Factory-Ready
Bilstein® Black Hawk® e2 adaptive shocks, 35-inch tires, launch control, and real off-road modes make this a true Baja-class platform out of the box.
Luxury Meets Muscle
With the TRX Level 2 Equipment Group, this truck competes with six-figure SUVs: ventilated seats, 12-inch touchscreen, Harman Kardon® sound, and HUD are all included.
As an Appraiser, Here’s My Verdict
I’ve appraised countless performance vehicles, and the TRX continues to impress. Even with nearly 40K miles, this unit commands between $74,500 and $83,500 on the retail market—depending on condition, records, and options. In auction and private sale scenarios, clean and well-maintained trucks are even breaking $85K.
That puts this truck well above average retention for a 4-year-old performance vehicle, especially in the truck category.
For Buyers, Sellers, and Insurers
If you’re evaluating a TRX for:
- Insurance replacement value
- Trade-in fairness
- Private sale negotiation
- Diminished value claim
You’ll need a certified, defensible appraisal report. That’s where we come in.
