Ram 1500 TRX: The 702-Horsepower Off-Road Beast

The Ram 1500 TRX was a supercharged, Hellcat-powered off-road performance truck built to dominate the desert and rival the Ford Raptor.

Launched for 2021, the TRX answered the Ford F-150 Raptor with overwhelming force. Under its hood sat a supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 producing around 702 horsepower, making it the most powerful mass-production truck of its time.

Beyond straight-line speed, the TRX was engineered for high-speed off-road performance, with long-travel suspension, massive tires, skid plates, and a widened, aggressive body. It could blast across desert terrain while still serving as a usable daily truck.

The TRX became an instant performance icon, embodying the muscle-truck arms race. Its Hellcat V8 gave it a soundtrack and personality no rival could match during its run.
