Ram TRX: The Apex Predator of Pickup Trucks




The TRX is formidable
The TRX is formidable

The Ram TRX isn’t just a truck—it’s a statement of dominance in the high-performance pickup world. Born from the DNA of off-road racing and infused with the power of a supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI V8 engine, the TRX delivers an experience that's both brutally powerful and surprisingly refined. With 702 horsepower under the hood and 650 lb-ft of torque, it’s clear this machine wasn’t built for the faint of heart. The TRX launches from 0 to 100 km/h in just over four seconds, making it one of the fastest production trucks ever made. But raw speed is just one side of this beast.

Ram engineered the TRX to be more than just a straight-line sprinter. It’s equipped with an advanced Bilstein Black Hawk e2 suspension system designed to tackle rugged terrain at high speeds without sacrificing ride comfort. Whether you’re blitzing through desert trails or crawling over rocky outcrops, the TRX provides a confident, planted ride. With 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory all-terrain tyres, over 300mm of ground clearance, and reinforced underbody skid plates, the TRX feels unstoppable off the pavement.

Inside the cabin, Ram has infused luxury and tech in a way that feels both rugged and upscale. You’re met with premium leather and suede accents, aggressive TRX branding, and a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system that offers split-screen capability and access to performance metrics like G-force, launch control, and lap timers. It’s a high-adrenaline cockpit built for the driver who wants to control raw power while still enjoying creature comforts like heated and ventilated seats, a Harman Kardon sound system, and an intuitive Uconnect interface.

From a design standpoint, the Ram TRX is unmistakable. With its wide fender flares, functional hood scoop, menacing grille, and aggressive stance, it projects a physical presence that demands attention. Even at a standstill, the TRX looks fast, dangerous, and ready for anything. It’s over 200mm wider than a standard Ram 1500, and every line of its bodywork is sculpted with performance in mind—especially airflow and cooling for that monstrous engine.

The TRX isn’t just for thrill-seekers—it’s also built for those who expect utility. It tows up to 8,100 pounds and hauls over 1,300 pounds in the tray, proving that muscle and muscle alone isn’t what makes a great pickup. It’s the balance between raw capability and everyday usefulness that elevates the Ram TRX to icon status in the truck world.

As the automotive industry slowly shifts toward electrification, the Ram TRX feels like a defiant nod to the golden era of combustion. It’s an unapologetic V8-powered juggernaut in a world that’s rapidly changing, and that’s part of what makes it so appealing. It stands alone—without compromise, without equal.
