Wish I could have. Would have loved to get a Launch Edition. Really like that color.

Will be interesting. I think they will sell, depends on how dealers try to play it.

There's a few people that ordered them. I've seen a post or two here and on another forum. 90K+.

Some dealers have advertised no markup.

Should be an awesome vehicle....just outside of my budget and not being able to fit in my garage.

75th Anniversary Power Wagon next year for me though.

All 702 launch editions sold out in break-neck speed. Did you all see the easter egg they put under the airbox?

That thing is too stout for me at this time, but hell, I'd just like to know someone that ordered one.

I held out for one for three years and finally gave up, thinking it was never going to happen. Now I'm sorta sad, sorta glad.

I'd be a lot more tempted to trade in my '20 if it were available in QC rather than just CC. I don't need the extra cab space and do want more in the back.

But interesting comment about not fitting in the garage. A standard 7' garage door generally has at least an 83" clear opening, and according to https://www.topspeed.com/cars/ram/2021-ram-1500-trx-ar188352.html the TRX is 80.1" tall, which is 3.5" taller than a non-TRX. Which sounds right, because the tires add 1.5" and I understood the suspension adds 2". Before I added 35s and leveled my truck I had about 7" clearance in may door, but that's partly because of the approach angles.

Oh, and I also just realized that the TRX has significantly less payload and towing capacity than a non-TRX. Towing would be marginal for me, but the payload - 1310# (!) would be a non-starter for me.

Kinda makes you wonder why RAM doesn't have an option for the 6.4L. I wouldn't think it would be that difficult to package it. Doesn't have to be the 475HP version , the 410HP version from the 2500 would be enough to just make difference. 5.7 Hemi is $1495 option over base, the 5.7 ETorque is $1695 (think that's right). Lot of added electronics and mechanicals packaged in there for that extra $200. I'd much rather see a NA 6.4L option.

Would be such a pretty awesome thing to have, but to go from a paid off MY 19 to a TRX at 60-90K, I would have to mortgage my house to buy it, ALAS, some things not meant to be...

I believe the TRX is also a bigger truck than a standard 1500. I know it is wider, and I believe longer as well.

It has a 6" wider track and I believe the overall width is up 8" at the flared fenders, but as far as I can tell, the rest of the body (except the hood) are stock. The wheelbase is 1/2" longer because the front axle is moved forward 1/2". Overall length is exactly the same as a regular CC/5'7" box.

Side note - I was just looking at specs on the RAM website and learned something. I always assumed that the frame/wheelbase was the same on the QC/6'4" box and CC/5'7" box. Not so, the CC has a 4" longer wheelbase and is 4" longer overall.

Cool. I knew there was some differences.
