7 Things We Love About the Ram 1500 TRX

For most people, the impressive performance, bold features, and unsurpassed luxury of the Ram 1500 come together to provide the perfect pickup to dominate the road. But for a select portion of the population driven to experience something more, there’s the unparalleled raw power of the Ram 1500 TRX. Much more than simply a trim or special edition, the TRX is the ultimate expression of performance in a Ram truck, and it blows the competition away. As your Kentucky Ram TRX dealer, you might think we’re a bit biased here – but that doesn’t change the fact that this is currently the fastest, most powerful full-size truck in the world.

That might seem like a bold statement, and it is, but it’s not one we’re making simply out of a desire to get attention or to quicken your heartbeat – the TRX does that all by itself. If you don’t believe us, then let’s take a look at some of our favorite features on the Ram 1500 TRX. By the end of this, we think you’ll share our opinion and come to appreciate everything this amazing truck has to offer. Whether it’s right for you or not is up to what you need in a pickup, but there’s no denying that it’s the pinnacle of speed and performance on the truck market.

#1 – The Power of the Engine

There’s no reason to be coy about what really sets the Ram 1500 TRX apart from other trucks out there – okay, there are quite a few things, but at the top of the list is the engine. Every Ram 1500 has a great engine with a lot of power, and you can get an impressive HEMI V8 even on the standard Ram pickup. That being said, the engine in the TRX is something special.

We’ll start with one word: Hellcat. That’s where this engine came from – the powerful Dodge Challenger Hellcat, one of the most impressive performance vehicles on the road. That’s the kind of power that Ram has packed into the TRX, and it’s why every other truck out there gets left in its dust – literally.

The Ram 1500 TRX is powered by a monstrous Supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 engine tuned to deliver 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. We’ll give you a moment to re-read that and think about what that kind of power must feel like and sound like. Trust us; it’s absolutely amazing. Or don’t trust us and come visit us to feel it for yourself and know what it means to have a roaring monster completely under your control.

#2 – Mind-Blowing Acceleration

Now, sure, those numbers are impressive, but at the end of the day, that’s really all they are: numbers. What do those specs really mean? Well, with that engine under the hood of the Ram 1500 TRX, it can go from 0 to 60 in just 4.5 seconds. That makes it the fastest street-legal half-ton pickup on the road, with the most horsepower and a level of performance that you simply can’t get anywhere else.

Of course, those are the numbers from Ram – how does it really perform? According to Car and Driver, during their testing, the Ram TRX was able to go from 0 to 60 in just 3.7 seconds and ran a quarter-mile in 12.3 seconds, hitting 110mph in the process. All of this is made possible by four-wheel drive and a responsive 8-speed automatic transmission that creates a driving experience you won’t find anywhere else. With so much power under your command, you won’t just rule the road.

#3 – Next-Level Shocks

You’ll dominate off-road too! That’s one of the things we really love most about the Ram 1500 TRX: it’s not just an amazing high-performance truck; it’s actually designed to go off-road. We don’t just mean that it can handle a little bit of dirt or go down a gravel path; this is a fully-realized off-road pickup engineered to conquer the trail.

For starters, it has exclusive Bilstein Black Hawk e2 shocks designed only for the Ram TRX, letting you handle pretty much any trail while still getting the most from this truck’s exquisitely powerful engine. The front suspension has 13 inches of travel, the rear suspension has 14 inches of travel, and the truck comes with nearly 12 inches of ground clearance. All of that is with 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory All-Terrain tires on beadlock-capable wheels that will ensure excellent traction in any conditions.

Whether you’re getting around town, hitting the trail, or spending the day at the track – the Ram 1500 TRX can handle it all. No other truck comes close to delivering this kind of experience, and it’s why the TRX stands above the competition.

#4 – A Performance-Focused Interior

All of that power and performance is great, but you’re going to spend your time driving sitting inside – so what about the interior? Fortunately, the TRX has an interior every bit as luxurious and sophisticated as anything else you’ll find from Ram. This includes a variety of available materials and colors, including refined leather and brushed metal, plus Alcantara suede and carbon fiber to let you create exactly the look and feel you want. A flat-bottom steering wheel reminds you of the power at your fingertips, while a distinctive, center-mounted gear shifter includes a manual shifting mode for when you want total control.

#5 – Luxury Meets Technology

Ram trucks are well known for having some of the best technology on the market, and the TRX is no exception. A stunning 12-inch Infotainment display is standard on every model, with the latest Uconnect system to provide you with a suite of performance and off-road pages to track how your pickup is handling. You get a customizable home screen, and you have eight different performance-tuned drive modes to choose from at the turn of a dial.

#6 – A Menacing Appearance

It’s hard to imagine anyone confusing the Ram 1500 TRX for any other Ram pickup, but not only due to its incredible performance. The TRX is built for all of its raw power, which means it has a wider track, along with fenders that are flared eight inches in order to accommodate for its bold stance. There are also seven air-flows featured throughout its exterior in order to help with aerodynamics and cooling its incredible engine. Combine that with LED amber identification lamps on the hood scoop and an intimidating front grille, and you’ve got something truly special.

#7 – The Exclusive Ignition Edition

We already love this truck, obviously, so for folks like us, the stunning Ignition Edition for the 2022 Ram TRX takes things to the next level. Not only does this model come with all the bells and whistles, making it fully equipped, but it features an exclusive Ignition Orange paint job. It also has copperhead interior accents, exclusive 18-inch black wheels, and special bedside graphics to really let it stand out. Only 875 Ignition Edition models are being made, however, so these are going to be coveted by the most serious Ram fans.
