How Come This Uniquely Tuned Ram 1500 TRX Won't Sell?

The 2022 Ram 1500 TRX truck was already a beast with its 702-horsepower Hellcat engine, but someone took it to the next level. They added a supercharger and a twin-turbo setup, resulting in an absolute powerhouse.

Despite having just 2,000 miles on the odometer, loads of tasteful mods, and some serious mechanical upgrades, it surprisingly didn't meet its reserve price at auction.

The final bid of $91,200 fell short, and considering the base price of $78,890 plus the added TRX Level 2 Equipment Group and twin-turbo kit, the seller was aiming for at least $100k. Under the hood, we've got the stock supercharger combined with a Ripatuned TTRX twin-turbo system, managed by a custom ECU tune from HPJ Tuning.

While there's no official dyno figure, the seller estimated around 800 horsepower at the wheels, with the potential for even more depending on the tune. This pumped-up TRX also boasts a smartphone-controlled Carli Suspension leveling kit, rear air springs, Wilwood front disc brakes, and striking 22-inch Axe forged wheels wrapped in beefy 37-inch Nitto Ridge Grappler tires.

The exterior has seen some love too, with a custom Fab Fours front bumper, carbon fiber grille, fender extensions, and more, giving it an aggressive look. Inside, the TRX Level 2 Equipment Group adds luxurious touches like heated and ventilated seats, a premium sound system, wireless charging, and more. It's a shame it didn't find a new owner at the auction, given the impressive work and upgrades put into this beastly truck.
