But would you have one of these over a Ford Raptor? Let us know in the comments below. Mainly because they’ve given you a couple of hundred more horsepower on top of that. So, if you’ve been waiting out for a TRX since the concept in 2016, your dream has come true. There’s a Tesla-esque 12.0-inch portrait centre touchscreen, plush seats and paddles to play around with the ZF eight-speed automatic ‘box it comes with. Which is no bad thing, as they're the most car-y trucks on sale. Inside, a TRX is very similar to all the other Ram trucks. But only because all those numbers have been run on knobby 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory All-Terrain rubber. It'll run out of puff shortly afterwards, with the top speed being 118 mph.
Equipped with a dedicated launch control button secreted in the dash, once activated, Ram claims the TRX will hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, 100 mph in 10.5, and it'll run the quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds with a 108-mph trap speed.
Weirdly, Ram is very proud of having produced a pick-up truck that can not only beat up the Atacama, tow 3,600kg (8100lbs) and swallow 600kg of whatever in its bed, it can also tear up the drag strip.
But because ‘Murica', Ram has also developed the truck to run on tarmac. If the mahoosive truck could fit down the lanes, that is. We’re sure it’d work in Bedfordshire too. This doesn’t mean a lot to us You-row-pee-ans, but it basically means that with one press of a button the truck is set up to smash across a slither of Mexico thanks to a special desert calibration for the four-wheel drive system, stability control, engine and transmission maps.
RAM TRX HELLCAT PLUS
Ram even went to the extent of moving the front axle forward to give the TRX 13-inches of suspension travel front and rear, plus a ground clearance of 11.8-inches, a near three inch growth spurt.įlattering the Raptor, there’s also a “Baja” mode. Or navel height for most people, if you need some dubious scale. The Ram 1500 TRX has a big, roomy cabin that will comfortably seat four adults, or five if the three in the back are friendly, but the Durango has an obvious advantage in passenger capacity. There’s also a new oil pan and a new alternator, mounted higher up to increase wading depth to 32 inches. The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is the world’s quickest, fastest and most powerful three-row SUV, so it will comfortably seat six adults. That’s why Ram engineers have fitted that monster 6.2-litre engine with a new airbox (mounted above the engine so it’s not rattled to death) fed by the grille and the hood scoop, so the motor can breathe through massive filters so it gets a clean supply even during high-speed desert running. And make no mistake about it, the TRX has been designed to run hard and bait out that blue oval. Underneath there’s new suspension, with an independent front axle and new forged aluminium control arms up front. Out back, there’s the standard Dana 60 solid axle but with a new five-link setup while Bilstein has developed chunky 2.5-inch remote-reservoir dampers all round for when you pound the sand.
RAM TRX HELLCAT FULL
But to be able to not bend like a banana at Full Send, the frame and suspension have been beefed up – just like a Raptor's. The arches are a whopping eight inches wider than standard, to hold a track width increase of six inches. So what do you get? Well, it may not look like it, but it is actually a RAM 1500 underneath. Fully loaded, you can expect the TRX to be nudging $90,000. And you should hope so too – given that it starts at $71,690, nearly $14k more than a crew-cab Raptor. Word has it that the swan song of the current Dodge Charger and Challenger are set to receive over 900 horsepower thanks to an upgraded Hellcat V8 engine with a 3.0L supercharger straight off the 1,000 hp Hellephant crate motor and an E85 fuel tune.That’s not all though, as there are some rather comprehensive upgrades. Maybe they’re just gonna skip that part, and go right for the bazooka. Early reports had Ram TRX prototypes testing with both 797 horsepower Hellcat Redeye engines, and 808 horsepower Demon engines (840 on race fuel). Whether or not Ram will offer an upgraded TRX from the factory appears to be seen. The package also adds Mopar performance power retractable running boards, 20-inch Vossen HFS-4 wheels in gloss black, matching black lug nuts, a 1.5-inch leveling kit, and a speedometer recalibration.
So a full second quicker in the 1320, but what about off-road improvements? as mentioned, the 37-inch tire package swaps out the stock 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory meats for Nitto Ridge Grappler tires. Not to mention the fact Dodge has created a significant amount of brand equity with the Hellcat name, so it just cant be the same. It was livestreamed on Ram's Facebook page and on Ram's YouTube channel. The testing had a stock TRX ran a 12.8 second quarter mile at 106 mph. Ram announced its 20 TRX on Monday, August 17, 2020, at 9 a.m. And according to testing, Granger clocked its Ram TRX Tyrant at an 11.84 second quarter mile at 114 MPH. First, you may note the red-colored “R” lettering on the decal and tailgate badge that gives away that this is no “ordinary” Hellcat truck. A thread at Ram TRX Forum gives us some details.
