Ram’s TRX is Back as the Fastest & Most Powerful Production Gas Pickup Truck
TRX is the first off-road product from the relaunched SRT Performance Division & the first SRT Ram in two decades…
Ram recently confirmed the return of the TRX in “Resurrection,” a short film hosted by Tim Kuniskis, head of American brands, SRT Performance, NA marketing and retail strategy. The TRX debuted in 2021, and after a brief hibernation, the company claims the 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX cements itself as the fastest and most powerful production gas pickup truck in the world.
On the heels of the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8’s return to the Ram 1500 lineup, the TRX returns with the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8, delivering 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque. These ratings eclipse the next nearest competitor by 57 horsepower and 40 lb-ft of torque, company officials stated in a press release.
The 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 is paired with a high-torque-capacity TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission and full-time active transfer case, delivering full-time four-wheel-drive traction. With standard Launch Control engaged, TRX goes from 0-60 in just 3.5 seconds, charging on to a best-in-class top speed of 118 mph, noted the release.
“We started 2025 with a simple rallying cry—three words and three letters: The Last Tenth and LFG,” said Kuniskis. “Our first moves were clear: revive the legendary HEMI V-8 and reignite the SRT Performance Division. So, would anyone really bet against TRX making a comeback?
“But bringing back the nameplate isn’t enough. Ram set the bar five years ago with 702 horsepower, and that benchmark has been challenged. SRT doesn’t limbo; we high-jump—and 721 wasn’t going to cut it. 777 horsepower? That’s the mark. And it represents more than power—it signals an awakening and a new path forward.”
Bloodshot Night Edition
The Bloodshot Night Edition includes a first-ever two-tone design for TRX, featuring a painted Blacktop upper and painted Flame Red center hood stripe. Additional exterior elements include splash body graphics and beadlock-capable wheels. Inside, red-accented carbon fiber interior trim, a glass-encased center console badge and red-outline TRX badging finish off the look.
Every TRX features a Flame Red R-A-M grille badge with a flow-through design, complemented by matching Flame Red front and rear tow hooks. SRT badging adorns the grille and tailgate, while a new TRX tailgate logo depicts the apex predator that ruled the dinosaur age.
SRT Vehicles Push the Boundaries of Propulsion, Handling & Technology
The Street and Racing Technology (SRT) performance division consolidates the best performance engineering talent from across the four American brands, delivering vehicles with power and precision, whether for street, track or trail. The last time a Ram pickup wore the SRT badge was in 2006 with the Ram SRT-10.
To feed the boosted V-8’s 2.4L twin-screw supercharger, a dual-path induction system draws cool outside air through the side of the grille opening and the center-mounted hood scoop. Both air streams converge at a high-capacity radial air filter designed to accept airflow from both paths; this ensures maximum air volume and even distribution around the filter’s circumference for improved performance and longevity.
The filter sits in an open-top air box for easy access, allowing quick field cleaning when needed. The induction system also incorporates a hood duct with a tortuous path and water relief flaps that drain water and filter out debris, ensuring only clean, cool air reaches the engine.
The TRX also features a sport-tuned true dual exhaust system with X crossover pipe, full stainless-steel construction and 5-inch double-walled black tips.
For the first time, TRX also features Hands-Free Active Drive Assist (L2+) as standard, and alongside RHO, makes Ram the only truck manufacturer to offer hands-free capability on a high-performance off-road gas pickup, the company said.
The 1500 SRT TRX Sits Atop Ram’s Off-Road Light-Duty Lineup
Behind the standard 35-inch tires is an independent front suspension system with active performance damping, high-strength aluminum components and forged aluminum upper and lower control arms. The control arm design keeps caster and camber angles in check during suspension cycling and accommodates 13 inches of front suspension travel from droop to full compression. The front suspension system’s spring rates, jounce bumper and damping control are specially matched to the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 powertrain.
The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX matches the RHO’s 11.8 inches of ground clearance, riding two inches higher and six inches wider than the Ram 1500 Rebel—the next most off-road capable Ram pickup.
Drive Modes Tackle Most Driving Conditions
The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX maintains the best-in-class interior technology and design that have come to define Ram in the pickup segment, according to the company. Located on the dashboard above the transfer case switches, the Drive Mode selector fine-tunes the vehicle dynamics for nearly any driving condition, offering more drive modes than the next closest competitor. Modes include Auto, Tow, Mud/Sand, Rock, Snow, Sport, Baja, Custom and Valet mode. Each drive mode offers a unique display across the 12.3-inch digital display to indicate which mode has been selected.
The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX is scheduled to arrive in the second half of 2026 at a starting MSRP of $99,995 (not including $2,595 destination).
