A one-of-kind custom TRX Hellcat. What’s not to like—especially if you can drive it home tax-free.

WHAT?? You don’t drive a truck? How’re you gonna haul all that stuff you wanna haul and still have room for the kids? Sure, it’s nice to load up everything to set off over the river and through the woods to grandma’s house you go. But maybe you wanna go over the woods and through the river to granny’s because you’re that kinda guy. Try that with your Hellcat Chally. Never mind that granny is just two exits down the freeway, you wanna take the scenic route, so you’ll need a serious 4-by. OK, we hear you. We know what new trucks cost these days—even used ones—even broken ones. We’d even be lucky to come up with the scratch for a down payment on a used ’91 Dodge Dynasty with four tires and a fat payment book let alone a truck. So, what’s a Mopar Action reader/subscriber to do? Our first suggestion is to keep on reading… (we’re still trying to come up with a second suggestion.) (Cue cavalry bugle and thundering horse sounds here)

It’s the Dream Giveaway Garage to the rescue! You’ve heard of them, no? Over the past 14 years, these nice folks have given away over 90 really great one-of-one customs in their support of worthy charities. To enter their Giveaways, all you do is make a donation to the charity and then wait for the drawing to pull your winning number. Easy peasy— even Ehrenberg can do it.

The raffle is not sponsered, endorsed or affiliated by Athlon Media or Mopar Action.

T R X Fa c to r y E x t ra C o s t O p t i o n s I n c l u d e d :

• Technology Group (a $1,095 extra cost) • Trailer Tow Group (a $195 extra cost) • Advanced Safety Group (a $995 extra cost) • Bed Utility Group (a $845 extra cost) • TRX Carbon-fiber package (a $1,295 extra cost) • TRX Level 2 Equipment Group (a $7,920 extra cost) • Dual Pane Panoramic Sunroof (a $1,495 extra cost) • Off-Road style Running Boards by Mopar (a $1,195 extra cost) • 19 Speaker Harman Kardon Premium Sound (a $1,195 extra cost) • Bed-Mounted Tire Carrier (a $995 extra cost) • Trailer Reverse Steering Control (a $495 extra cost) • RamBar by Mopar (a $1,895 extra cost)

the Diamond Black Crystal Pearl-Coat factory paint which alone would cost you 5 grand.

And it doesn’t stop there. DG adds their own custom goodies from Fab Fours and Lighting Trendz in addition to the full body wrap to make this truck even more unique.

And it doesn’t stop there. DG will pay the 25 grand tax bill that comes with the truck. Now say you already have a 2021 TRX, or you’re just happy with your Neon, thank you, or you’re not a truck person. DG will award you with an alternate prize of 35 grand. And don’t worry, they have plenty other Mopes in their stable for future giveaways.

And it doesn’t stop there. Let’s say that you want to truck on down a few freeway exits past granny’s house—like to Africa, for example. No problemo. DG has teamed up with Recoil magazine and Silver Mist Safaris to pack you and a guest of your choice off on a 7-day hunting trip in South Africa. You first fly from the US to Johannesburg, South Africa, and then be transported to Silver Mist Safaris located in the Umkomaas River Valley where you’ll spend 7 days at a fine hunting lodge in KwaZulu Natal located on the Umkomaas River and have the opportunity to hunt four, free range, plains game species using a Strasser Evo 14, the world’s best straight-pull bolt action rifle, which will be yours to keep. Even if you’re a newbie at hunting, you’ll be brought up to speed by Recoil’s editor-in-chief who will be your concierge on the trip.

OK, so you may not be into hunting, and you’d rather see a Yankee game in The Bronx than hunt wild game in S. Africa. And you don’t eat meat. The DG folks are looking into an alternate award of a small salad with your choice of 2 dressings at a local McDonald’s.

As a special bonus to our Mopar Action readers and subscribers and even for you freeloaders leafing through this mag at the newsstand, we’ve arranged for you to get DOUBLE tickets on your donation of $25 or more when you log onto https://www.dreamgiveaway.com/tickets/ trx?promo=PQ1221R.

The TRX giveaway runs until July 26, 2022, with the winning ticket will be drawn on August 11, 2022.

So…what are you waiting for?

702 HP 6.2 supercharged Hemi remains factory stock to avoid any emissions and dealer service hassles.

Hard to improve on the sweet factory interior, so DG didn’t try. TRX comes with the optional Technology Group to give all you techies something to tinker with in traffic jams.
