Yeah, the red interior accents look amazing. It's a good balance of having accents but not overdoing it (like the base TRX model, or the base Rebel).

But you also need to keep this in mind: Once you buy a TRX, you're almost certainly going to start modding it as well. The uptick on price (to get suspension, engine, looks, etc.) is only the beginning. Then you start adding even more stuff.

True, I don't typically leave much stock.....

Couldn’t agree w your statement more about the red, those accents are tasteful and the perfect amount imo. I hate when they just splatter red everywhere like the rebel.

Replaced my solid lower grill with the open version, and add a billet insert. Definitely like the look better than stock.

Removed the active air dam to make access easier while underneath the truck, and decided to leave it off. No cel yesterday or today, so overall a rewarding project.

Thinking about selling the Larry G/T for one of these..I can't help myself! My wife will have a fit if I do it, but really soon I'm gonna start modding the suspension, wheels/tires, etc..this would be done! But 13mpg premium fuel🤑


That's the beauty of buying a TRX. It already has nearly everything most guys want in a truck and more...35" tires, good looking wheels, awesome suspension, and massive power. Other than Mopar Power Running Boards, I've just added a few inexpensive, non-TRX specific mods. I did consider an aftermarket intake for more blower noise, but decided that the stock intake is good enough.

If you're shopping used, take a look at some of the SE TRX's. Instead of run-of-the-mill red, they come with unique/better accent colors that set them apart.

@Eighty will make some crack about blue in 3...2...1. Don't listen to him. He's jealous because he regrets passing on the Lunar Edition he had coming.

smiles per gallon, not miles per gallon.

unless you're going to... say Alaska where you'll have only 2-3 fueling stops on Dalton and need the range LOL

I need to switch to the open grill below myself the stock setup is just a pain to clean.

Looks sharp. Does the billet insert go over the new open lower grill? And does it interfere with your front parking sensors? I def want to go open front grill.

The insert does go over the front grill. It does cover my front sensors, but I don’t use them anyway so I knew that wouldn’t be an issue. I’m pretty sure I saw there was one available to work with front sensors from the same company.

Are those the APS Billet Inserts?

Yes, it is. For the price I figured it was worth a shot.
Let me know how they do! I bought some cheap clip on black inserts on Amazon for my upper grill and I was surprised how well made they were and fit perfect.
