The all-new 2021 Ram 1500 TRX features 702 horsepower, 650 pounds-feet of torque, and custom-designed Goodyear tires, all of which add life to its functionality. This 2021 Ram 1500 TRX has a 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 Hellcat engine just like all the other FCA engines. While the other engines are built to just be fast on specific surfaces, the TRX can be fast on any sort of track. It can travel over 100mph even on dirt and needs just raw power to do so.

Extremely fast speed is credited to a 702 horsepower engine

The engine itself offers a high boost being a 6.2 liter supercharged V-8 with 702 HP and 650 lb-ft of torque. Since there is a restrictive exhaust involved due to the power drop, it allows the TRX to keep up with any sort of off-road racing dust and water fording.

Apart from the very big engine, the TRX has a beefed-up frame that integrates both the electronic adjustability with an old-school remote reservoir that has 60mm pistons. Since the TRX is lifted 11.8 inches off the ground, this makes it easy to maneuver around obstacles. The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX also includes locking rear diff, flared fenders, and other fabulous features.

The smooth driving experience offered with a 650 lb-ft torque

The Ram TRX being half super truck and half GT offers a smooth driving experience to all its users. It is easy to steer with accuracy involved and the body roll and brake drive are all eliminated because of the Bilstein shocks.

The 702 horsepower just adds to the fun of driving the truck around in any setting but your comfort and range of features all depend on the price you are willing to pay.

Baseline prices of the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX begin at $71,190

The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is priced at $71,190 and includes a $1,895 destination charge but makes up for the price with its features. In comparison, the Ford F-150 Raptor Supercrew is priced at $58,135. The basic package just falls short of a few features like a heated steering wheel and heated front seats, each of which cost an additional amount.

If you include those, the price then extends to at least $75,000 but is still worth the money with all that you get back. There are $1895 18 inch bead lock-capable wheels, $1295 carbon-fiber interior trim, a $1095 head-up display and rear-view camera mirror, and $995 rock rails under the door sills.

The interior includes some leather-trimmed seats, cargo box lighting, a flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in leather and a compartment for storage right under the rear seat. If you wish to include more features like adaptive cruise control, lane-kept assist, a heads-up display, or even a digital rearview mirror, the value might just shoot up to $80,000.

Ram 1500 TRX offers shock absorption and overcomes impacts on the road

The 1500 TRX does an impeccable job on the road. If you drive the vehicle in its high desert environment, in deep washers, and on sandy mountain switchbacks, the Ram TRX functions just as well as a Porsche would on a mountain road.

When you put the truck in Baja mode, the Ram TRX can easily tackle any terrain that you set it on. Most of it can be credited to the super-fast and reliable engine but the TRX suspension also deserves its fair share of appreciation.

The suspension is able to absorb any brutal or sudden impacts and keeps the passengers from any shock. The rubbers of the TRX Goodyear also allow for much more grip on the road.

Being well-armored, the undercarriage gives a large amount of suspension travel and at low range makes it a capable rock crawler. Even the brake pedal has all the unique features that keep it from making the ride difficult for the driver and the passengers.

It easily attains 189 foot stops from 70 mph. After 100 mph, the distance becomes 418 feet, and the 14.8-inch front and 14.9-inch rear brake rotors do just the job.

The best way to experience the Ram TRX 1500 is to stand outside and watch while it tears across the Silver Lake’s 450-acre sandbox. The Baja driving mode proves to work wonders for the suspensions and keeps the car from skidding.

The Ram TRX is so impressive that it might just make you question its performance when compared to others. But all comparison and technical analysis aside, it is easy to figure out that this truck offers the best specifications and consequently the best driving experience.
