Window sticker says 10mpg.
Annual fuel cost $5050. Will cost $12,750 more in fuel over 5 years.

With them selling so far above MSRP I'm curious how well they'll hold their value. Never looked at the Hellcat cars, maybe they they don't depreciate as fast?
Or put another way, since it competes directly against the Ford Raptor, will it hold its value as well as the Raptor?

What a sham gas-guzzler tax is! I had to pay that when I bought my SRT Challenger...it got better mileage than either this truck or the wife's Explorer!What a beast of a truck. Looks killer.
93k is a little out of my pay grade. lol I honestly don't think I would be able to afford the gas bill anyways. That truck sucks down gas like it's going out of style.
Does anyone know of these trucks have a gas guzzler tax? My previous car did and my new did as well.

My dealership I work/sell at here in NJ was given 5 allocations for the year and we sold 4 as soon as orders were allowed to be placed. We have one unit left available still in production with a MSRP of $96,235 with just about every option checked coming in Hydro Blue. We don't sell over MSRP which is why we only have 1 left available. Trust me there are plenty of people who have no issues spending this much on a truck. 2 of the sold builds were $96k and change as well.

I'd be right there but the lotto ticket didn't win.

My dealer sold five of them to one buyer. I bet that they’re flipping them. It’s my dream to own one... never mind the Vette and whatever else. I want this truck!

5 to one buyer, yep likely reselling. You'd think RAM would try to control that somehow. But then, maybe he hit the Lotto and has uhh, 5 brothers.My dealer sold five of them to one buyer.

Vastly more than those cars. That extra weight an aero does wonders for gulping down massive amounts of fuel.

Local dealer to me had 1 with sticker price of 85k and an ask price of 102k!!! How is that even legal!
That's the free market at work. We're not talking about gas and water after a hurricane here.
Yep, there's a lot of people out there with more money than sense..

I balked on a Black Widow for $85K (which was actually a good deal, considering the prices seen elsewhere around the country). I got my Limited Longhorn fairly cheap at around $50K ($64K, minus my 2012 Lonestar trade-in for $14K) so I guess I'm not freaking out too much about it. It's just amazing how much things have gone up over time. Jan '97, we moved into our home for $66.5K... and now the tax assessor says it's worth over $230K. I shouldn't feel too weird about it, I guess... but this IS only the 3rd vehicle (aside from her cars) that I've paid more than $20K for... and they've all been Rams. Using a similar scale to the fuzzy math with the house, my trucks have actually gotten cheaper over the years - proportionally, not realistically. LOL!!
TRXs are neat, and I love the pushed-out fenders/wheel wells... but I'm just not THAT much in love my cars.

"Market Adjustment" based off availability!
Entirely possible in some cases, but in many, its just people's priorities. There are all types; some its the house, some its quantity of things (hoarders), some its just a few things (but they're really nice), for some its making sure the church gets 50% of their money, etc. etc.
I know a farmer or two that have a really nice house, and lots of $$$ in the bank, but they only buy one semi-nice car at most. The others are all one or two steps from the salvage yard, they will not put money into a depreciating asset.
If I had been smart, I would have done what the one guy mentioned above did, and take out a large loan for half a dozen TRXs. Then took them to areas where they were selling high, marked them up $25k-$50k or more, and resold them.
