Car leasing: 2024 Ram 1500 TRX in Java

Car leasing: the 2024 Ram 1500 TRX

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2024 Ram 1500 TRX; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. This page puts the 2024 Ram 1500 TRX in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

What to check on the 1500

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

The figures, translated

The 6.2L 8-cylinder supercharged is what moves it, with four-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Four-wheel drive helps on rough ground and deep snow; on dry roads it behaves like any other vehicle.

It is rated 19.8 L/100 km combined: about 59 litres every 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $34.65 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$6,850 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Best uses

It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits moving day, renovation runs and anything that needs an open bed.

Practical details

Being a pickup truck, it trades parking ease for a cargo bed.

Try before you buy

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week with the 1500 answers more than any brochure. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Narrowing it down

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the TRX with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

Money matters

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $346.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$6,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
