If you buy the new 2027 Ram TRX and sell it within the first year, the next owner loses the truck’s factory warranty. If you flip it, you lose it. This policy is meant to discourage a quick sale of this new desirable truck. However, it can also have unintended consequences. Here are all of the details. Let’s dig in!
If you resell the new TRX within the first 12 months, the next owner will not have the basic and powertrain warranty. Ram hopes this discourages people who are looking to make a quick buck on these new truck. However, life circumstances are unpredictable and a truck sale may be necessary.
Here is an official statement from Ram Trucks.
“We are excited to put the 2027 Ram 1500 TRX SRT into the hands of enthusiasts. To help protect the integrity and availability of the new TRX SRT, Ram is updating the TRX SRT Warranty and Ownership Terms to deter speculators and markups.“
“Under the TRX SRT Warranty and Ownership Terms, if the original purchaser sells or transfers the vehicle within the first 12 months of ownership, any remaining Basic and Powertrain warranty coverage will become non-transferable and terminated, to the extent permitted by law.“
“The original purchaser is responsible for disclosing the TRX SRT Warranty and Ownership Terms to any subsequent buyer.“
“Dealership sales personnel will review the TRX SRT Warranty and Ownership Terms during vehicle delivery. Customers who do not confirm that their dealership sales personnel reviewed the TRX SRT Warranty and Ownership Terms with them will receive a follow-up communication from Ram.“
“Recall and emissions warranty coverage will not be affected.“
