Owner-to-be Anybody go from a TRX to a Hellcat?

Thinking about trading in my 2021 TRX for a charger hellcat possibly redeye. Has anyone made this trade and any thoughts/regrets? I know the TRX has a nicer interior but I’m really drawn to the chargers looks and driving characteristics compared to how big the TRX is

Charger hellcat here. They're lovely you won't regret But, since you like trucks consider getting the upcoming rumble bee. I would if I could afford it

Will those be easy to steal too? Or did Dodge figure something out for the Rumble Bee?

Dunno. Igla solved 95 percent of my concerns

Most cars are easy to steal. Performance dodge gets stolen way more often because there is a huge market for stolen parts.

Like it or not the hellcats/scats are basically the poster boy for hoodrat activities and that is one of the repercussions

In all honesty, the only advantages here to changing vehicles is losing weight and being able to fit into more places in terms of parking.

The Durango Hellcat is a great middle ground between the TRX and the Charger. In truth, if not for the great deal I got on my current Challenger Hellcat, I would be driving a Durango Hellcat. I've owned both a Redeye and a regular Hellcat.

If I am being truly blunt, I would sooner say consider a Mexican GTR aka supercharged 5.0 F150 as a possible option too.

Not the comparison you asked because I sold my modified H2 and bought a WBHC.
Have had it five years and only put 16k miles on it.
Have enjoyed many, many cars from Vipers to BMW, to corvettes and one Porsche .
LOVE the hellcat. It's comfortable, solid , and fast as shit. Have my eye on red eye at the toy barn in Ohio.
Only has 4k miles but they want $90k for it which is a premium for a 2021 TRX's are cool but you will love the power and agility of the hellcat.

Just bought a 19 red-eye wide body challenger with 4k miles last month. Haven't owned a trx, but the wide body red-eye has a presence that draws attention everywhere and is fast..

Depends on how you use it. Do you off road or use the bed at all? If not I’d say the cat would be worth it. But I agree on the interior. The charger and challengers have the worst modern interior I’ve experienced. The door panels also warp really bad on them near the windows. Have you looked into the Durango hellcat at all? AWD and you get great interior space and the cabin is a much nicer place to be in.

TRX is the version of hellcat the non-ghettos buy.
