Our dealership is located in Florence, Kentucky, and has proudly served Kentucky drivers who demand the best in their pickup trucks for almost 100 years. When you come to Zimmer, you will get a chance to buy the finest off-road truck on the market today, the Ram TRX. This all-new model takes the standard Ram 1500 and gives it a serious boost with a powerful engine, strong suspension, and surprising versatility for a truck of its type. You can get your hands on a Ram TRX at Zimmer Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, your home for Kentucky’s Ram truck enthusiasts.
If you say TRX really fast, you’ll probably understand. That’s right; it sounds just like T-Rex, which is the entire point. This is advertised by Ram as the “apex predator” of the truck world, and it is meant to devour the competition, whether you are using it for the intended purpose of trail riding or looking to hitch a trailer for work or for fun.
The TRX was originally a trim level for trucks designed with off-roading features. The label first appeared in 2006 with the Dakota TRX, back in the days when the Ram trucks brand was still part of Dodge. The Dakota TRX was a midsize truck with available four-wheel drive, an aggressive stance, and monotube shocks. It proved so popular that the company carried it over to the Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 so that folks who wanted a full-size or heavy-duty truck could get into all the off-roading fun promised by the TRX trim.
The goal of Ram throughout has been to produce a truck that would be at the top of the food chain when it came to trail-ready features and gear. In this way, you can be assured that when you buy a Ram truck with the TRX badging that it represents a vehicle that can best handle the rigors of off-roading when compared to other trucks in its vehicle class. This is why Ram has always been innovating, ensuring that each truck given the TRX brand would be worthy of the title.
Ram used the TRX moniker again with the Ram Rebel TRX, another off-road marvel. This specialized truck was introduced in 2016 as a trim on the Ram 1500 pickup truck, quickly acquiring fans who loved its rough and ready design. The Ram Rebel TRX set the stage for the all-new Ram TRX that is an entity unto itself when it comes to providing thrills and capabilities for off-road enthusiasts.
The folks at Ram decided it was time to give the TRX its own truck. Built on the Ram 1500 platform, the 2021 Ram TRX is the fastest and most powerful full-size truck in the world, equipped with an engine that will blow the doors off of the competition on and off the road.
The Ram TRX sports a 6.2-liter Supercharged HEMI V-8 gas engine paired with a TorqueFlite 8HP95 8-speed automatic transmission that's designed to give you quick gear changes. This engine provides 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, enough to move the Ram TRX from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4.5 seconds. The Ram TRX tops out at 118 miles per hour and can get to that speed in just over 12.9 seconds. This is because the HEMI V-8 engine’s supercharger provides instantaneous torque.
The front fascia of the 2021 Ram TRX shows that this is one truck that means business. That air scoop on the hood is not there for show. It is part of a massive high-performance air induction system that filters out dirt and debris at 32.9 liters of air per minute. The grille has a strong bearing that lets other drivers know that the Ram TRX means business.
It is one thing to build a truck that looks tough. It is quite another thing to provide one with the underpinnings to deliver the performance that these tough looks promise a driver. The 2021 Ram TRX has all the gear and features needed to provide you with the performance you need. Its 4x4 drivetrain features a full-time active transfer case, ready to deliver the horsepower to each axle and wheel as necessary. Its suspension system has forged aluminum front upper and lower control arms, and the independent front suspension has high-strength aluminum active dampers that will provide a smooth ride no matter the driving conditions.
There are front and rear 2.6-inch Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive performance shocks that will help your Ram TRX handle rough terrain at speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour. The TRX also has a Dana 60 solid rear axle with an electronic locking rear differential that is sure to come in handy out on the trail. In all, the front suspension has 13-inch travel, while the rear suspension has 14-inch travel.
The 2021 Ram TRX rides on 18-inch aluminum wheels that are available with beadlock capability. These are fitted with 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory All-Terrain tires, which were developed exclusively for this truck. This helps the Ram TRX have a greater lift than a standard Ram 1500 model, with a full 11.8-inches of ground clearance. This truck is capable of fording up to 32-inches of water.
One complaint that some drivers have about specialized off-road trucks is that they often lack in the other areas that people love about pickup trucks, namely towing and payload. Ram has addressed this with the 2021 TRX, which has a towing capacity of up to 8,220 pounds and can carry up to 1,350 pounds of cargo in its 5-foot 7-inch payload bed.
