This brand-new Ram 1500 TRX somehow ended up in a Copart auction yard.
The thing is, no one seems to understand why it’s there.
The truck was spotted by a YouTuber who’s also a mechanic, and he couldn’t wrap his head around it.
It doesn’t even have that many miles on the clock.

This Ram is in absolutely mint condition
A YouTuber who goes by Monkey Wrench Mike discovered a 2022 Ram 1500 TRX sitting in a Copart auction yard, surrounded by damaged and wrecked cars.
The vehicle looks impeccable, and it runs.
Everything seems to work on board as well, and it only has 35,000 miles on the odometer.
Copart sells all kinds of cars, including ones in good condition and not just damaged ones, but it’s still a bit strange to see this mint Ram next to wrecked vehicles.
The Ram in question is powered by a 702-horsepower 6.2-liter HEMI V8, and it’s finished in a conservative color combo with gray exterior and black interior.
Back when it was new, a TRX just like this one would’ve set you back about $98,000.
This one will probably sell for a lot less.
About Copart
Copart is a company that often sells cars involved in accidents.
They’ve got massive graveyards full of luxury cars across the U.S., from the one in Miami to an equally large one in Los Angeles.
The cars you can find on Copart are often heavily damaged, and yet they’re also quite expensive.
That’s the case with a blue and ‘faceless’ McLaren MC20 that sold for six figures.
Then there’s the McLaren Artura that sold for six figures even though both the front and the rear section, and both flanks, were heavily damaged.
To be fair, you can still sometimes get good deals, such as the cheapest McLaren 650S in the U.S. or a classic Mercedes that only cost $400.
