2022 RAM 1500 TRX: Raw Power for Junction City Roads

The TRX in stock at Valor CDJR is listed at $71,291, making it a premium but attainable option for buyers who want the absolute top of the Ram 1500 performance lineup in a used configuration. With 49,704 miles on the odometer, this truck has been broken in without losing the core capability that defines the TRX nameplate — the supercharged engine, the heavy-duty suspension, and the aggressive all-terrain setup are all still very much present.

For Junction City families and military-connected buyers weighing the cost of ownership, a few practical numbers are worth keeping in mind. Fuel economy comes in at 10 city / 14 highway MPG, which reflects the reality of running a 702-hp supercharged V8. This is not a daily commuter truck built around fuel savings — it is a performance machine that rewards drivers who need maximum capability. Budget for premium unleaded fuel, as the 6.2L SRT HEMI V8 Supercharged Engine requires it.

The 3,538 Kgs (7,800 Lbs) GVWR speaks to how much this truck is engineered to carry, and the LT325/65R18D All Terrain Tires mounted on 18" x 9" Black Polish Aluminum Wheels add to both capability and long-term tire replacement costs buyers should factor in.

Buyers who already own a vehicle can get an estimate on their current trade-in to offset the purchase price, and those ready to explore available pre-owned options can browse our current used truck inventory to see what is on the lot right now. The Valor CDJR team is ready to walk through the numbers in person so every buyer leaves with a clear picture of what ownership actually looks like.

The TRX does not blend in — and that is entirely by design. The example on Valor CDJR's lot wears Diamond Black Crystal Pearlcoat, a deep, multi-layer finish that shifts tone in sunlight and reads as commanding in any setting, from the parking lots near Fort Riley to the main streets running through downtown Junction City.

The exterior stance is built around function as much as form. The 18" x 9" Black Polish Aluminum Wheels fill the arches aggressively, and the LT325/65R18D All Terrain Tires communicate clearly that this truck is ready for terrain beyond the pavement. The blacked-out exterior mirror package — including Black Exterior Mirrors with Courtesy Lamps, Turn Signals, and Heated functionality — keeps the visual theme cohesive while adding genuine utility for early-morning departures and tight maneuvering.

The Crew Cab, 4-door body configuration means the TRX carries its muscular proportions without sacrificing passenger access. The roofline, the wide body flares, and the overall silhouette put this truck in a different visual category than a standard work pickup. It is a presence on the road — the kind of truck that turns heads at a weekend outdoor event just as readily as it commands attention on a job site.

For buyers considering a trade toward this TRX, now is a good time to check what your current vehicle is worth before stepping onto the lot. Knowing your trade value going in makes the conversation at the dealership faster and more productive.

A truck with 702 horsepower could easily prioritize performance at the expense of comfort — the TRX does not make that compromise. The Crew Cab, 4-door layout provides genuine rear passenger space, making this a truck the whole family can load up for a day at Junction City Lake without anyone drawing the short straw on legroom.

The interior on this specific vehicle is finished in Black simulated suede and leather front seat upholstery, a combination that delivers a premium feel while holding up to the kind of use a performance truck attracts. The Bucket Seats up front give driver and passenger a secure, supportive position whether the truck is on-road or off. Front Heated Seats add comfort during Kansas winters, and the Power 4-Way Driver Lumbar Adjustment means the driver's position can be dialed in for long hauls across the flat plains between Junction City and the surrounding rural areas.

Practical storage is woven throughout the cabin. Front Seatback Map Pockets give rear passengers a place to stow gear, documents, or tablets without cluttering the floor. The 4-Way Front Headrests allow every front occupant to dial in their own comfort level. The overall cabin design balances the aggressive exterior with a refined, well-appointed interior that feels appropriate for both a family road trip and a solo weekend adventure.

For families who spend time outdoors — loading bikes, fishing gear, or camping supplies — the Crew Cab configuration means no one has to ride with gear on their lap. Everything fits, everyone is comfortable, and the truck is still ready to perform the moment you leave the pavement.

The 2022 Ram 1500 TRX carries a connected technology suite that keeps drivers informed and in control whether they are navigating downtown Junction City traffic or tracking a trail through open Kansas countryside. The centerpiece is Ram's Uconnect infotainment system, which provides the interface for audio, navigation, and smartphone integration that modern drivers expect from a truck at this price point.

Smartphone integration is a core feature of the TRX's tech setup, allowing drivers to connect their devices and access apps, calls, messages, and music through the truck's display rather than fumbling with a phone. This matters on daily commutes, where keeping eyes on the road is non-negotiable, and it matters equally on longer drives where entertainment and navigation keep the journey smooth.

The Exterior Mirrors with Turn Signals and Courtesy Lamps are part of the integrated visibility system that supports driver awareness in congested areas. The Park-Sense Front/Rear Park Assist with Stop system uses sensors to detect obstacles when maneuvering in tight spaces — a genuinely useful feature when parallel parking in a busy area or backing up to a trailer hitch in a crowded lot.

The Heated Exterior Mirrors are a technology-meets-practicality feature that Kansas winters make relevant quickly — cleared mirrors mean better visibility without a manual scraping routine on cold mornings. Every technology feature in the TRX is designed to reduce friction in the driving experience, whether the context is a school run, a work commute, or a weekend off-road excursion.

As a used 2022 vehicle, the TRX's original factory warranty status will depend on the purchase date and mileage relative to Ram's standard coverage terms. Buyers should contact Valor CDJR directly to confirm what remaining factory coverage, if any, transfers with this specific vehicle, and to explore whether extended service contract options are available for additional peace of mind.

What does not change with mileage is the importance of keeping a high-performance truck like the TRX properly maintained. The 6.2L SRT HEMI V8 Supercharged Engine is a precision performance unit that rewards consistent, quality maintenance. Oil service intervals, air filter condition, supercharger belt inspection, and brake system checks are all more consequential on a 702-hp truck than on a standard commuter vehicle.

Valor CDJR's service team is equipped to handle Ram trucks at every level of the lineup, including the TRX. The team understands the specific demands of the supercharged HEMI platform and uses genuine Ram parts to keep the truck performing as engineered. Supporting our local military families and Junction City's working professionals means being a dependable service partner for the long term — not just at the point of sale.

Scheduling routine service or a post-purchase inspection is straightforward —book your service appointment online at any time, or stop by the dealership at 1825 Goldenbelt Blvd. Keeping the TRX maintained properly protects both the truck's capability and its long-term value.
