Thats not much different then what my Rebel gets. 12/16 for me. Be nice to have the additional 300 hp to go along with that.I can't wait for owners to start complaining about mpg once the trx is out. I'm pretty sure there will be plenty that will never see double digit mpg. 10 city 14 hwy

Yeah but yours is rated, what, 19 city 24 highway? At that rate you'd be lucky to see 6 or 7 with your driving....
Howdy! Placed my order day after the reveal. I may or may not have a way to check people's VON or VIN to see the status of your builds...
I will bite, message me when you get a chance...

I don’t really drive it in any way that would affect mileage. Rarely accelerate briskly. 70 on the freeway. Gradual braking.
It’s been poor since I bought it. Even stock I never got above 16.5 or so. 13 around town.
Oh well.

Dont feel alone. I also have a Rebel, and it also gets crap MPGs. In comparison, I have a Honda Civic Type R that I can get to return 38-40 mpg on the hwy...in all honesty I have never driven a vehicle that I wasnt able to get, at least, the MPG on the window sticker, but that Rebel will not do more than 15 mpg, and I dont really care because that is not why I bought it.
I look forward to my TRX showing up so I have blower noises and a loud exhaust to comfort me as I pull into the gas station.

Spends too much time on here
That's because the window sticker isn't based on the Rebel specs, but on a "street" setup RAM. The EPA doesn't test all vehicles and gives FCA rights to apply those figures across the board, but allows for exceptions, which FCA didn't do on the Rebel unlike GM with did lower the mpg on the Trail Boss packaged equipped Silverados over other packages.
There is no way a 33" tired 3.92 rear axled RAM is going to get the same mpg that a street tired 3.21 axled RAM will, and that's FCA being wrong here. Based on previous experience, I knew what to expect on my Rebel, but other people who aren't familiar with this setup will be in for a shock if they expect that window sticker.
I do average about 13 mpg mixed, but pure highway, I can get 17 mpg.

I’ve gotten 24 MPG out of my Rebel but keep in mind that up here the speed limit is 60 MPH .

Build confirmed but no ETA. Got an update on Monday. Only one of their 3 slots with a build and delivery date.

I average 12MPG in my Rebel with the Hellcat swap. Seems to be about in line with the TRX
Have VON&VIN, still no joy on a build date ... keep getting the standard TRX is scheduled for 4th quarter production/please check with dealer for more details response from RAM chat.
On the plus side, my order is in for the Durango Hellcat, so excited about that one as well. Still teetering between the garbage bag grey/black stripe launch spec or switching to black with matte black stripe and red stripe edge.
Heard deliveries have been delayed a month or so. Late Dec/Jan now.
I have a VIN but dealer doesn't know when it will be built. Order was submitted 8/24

On another board specific to Ram TRX there are some captures/quotes from people who work the production line and stated production will resume next week. Guess this assumes they were on hold because of part supply and/or covid issues. Either way I read no 'production' TRX was built yet.....which I find surprising. At one point I read 6 units a day were being built but these are test units for reviewers (pre-production), and will be eventually crushed when their time is over. I'm sure FCA has their reasons but I would be rather upset to wait this long for a truck. People will be lucky to see their trucks Jan or Feb at this rate (and these are people who ordered Aug 28th - day 1).
