It's definitely QC.

Even here has some pics. Maybe the QC TRX is only a Canada thing?

Yep, and if you keep building that truck, you can get the HEMI.

The TRX is an off road package. It has bigger tires and skid plates and "off road" style shocks. A TRX starts out as an "SXT' and as the off road stuff is added it becomes a TRX. A SXT is a "plain jane" but with power locks and power windows. Click the link to see more info and build a TRX.... Hope this helps.... DAVID

thx SSCHevy for that. I did build on the site and it's just so different from what I seem to be getting.

It def is a v8 4x4 Hemi QC 'trx'.

Maybe it's a one of a kind.

Thanks for this. Any idea why the pruce went down though if it includes the 4x4 and the QC.

As for the rest, I didn't know it was an sxt so thanks.

Not sure what they were trying to do there. Unless they were giving you a crap deal to start with to make the 2nd deal look better.......

Hey - I know this sounds impatient and there is a bit to that, as I am going to the dealership tonight.
So if it's important to you then do the research yourself. Don't get impatient waiting for everyone to drop everything they have going and help you.

they might have special pricing on that particular truck... some dealers have incentives on some vehicles and not others, which might be the reason behind the cheaper price. If you're happy where you are with the price, then I would shoot for a couple hundred more - I'msure they're still making money. Also make sure you're looking at total truck price and not just monthly payments... if it's monthy payments you're solely looking for, go with an 72, 75, or 80 month term.

I’d be willing to bet it’s an 07 model their trying to get rid of. Also, if it’s a TRX, it doesn’t necessarily make it an stx barebones model. There are SLT TRX’s which would be the same interior features as the Big Horn minus the chrome grill and 20’s. But then again it could be a barebones stx. Lol But the dealership should be able to e-mail you the sticker that is on the truck or at least the link to the dealership it’s coming from. You can look it up in their inventory that way.

Could be. Talk about heavy handed. I got told this is the price. I said that was ridiculous. They said good-bye, and basically get out. I got up to leave and was just waiting for word on my buddy's jeep when they came back with 6k off.

I don't like that type of stuff but it was a good deal.
