For the 2021 model year, RAM introduced the 1500 TRX, which was a high-performance off-road vehicle powered by the same supercharged engine as the Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It was a huge success, but 2024 was the last year we were graced with a RAM 1500 TRX. That all changes now, though, as Stellantis has unveiled the 2027 RAM 1500 TRX SRT. As if the TRX wasn’t insanely powerful enough, they decided to throw the SRT badge onto it as well, which has resulted in the most powerful product gas-powered off-road pickup truck ever built. Today we’re going to highlight some of its specs as well as its promise of incredible performance.
6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 Powertrain
Beneath the hood of this all-new beast is an intercooled, supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 engine, much like the one that powered the original TRX and Hellcat models. This one is even more powerful, however, generating a best-in-class 777 horsepower alongside 680 pound-feet of torque. That’s 75 hp more than the previous TRX, to be exact, which should make enthusiasts salivate just thinking about it. Plus, it’s tethered to a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted shift controls, as well as a full-time active transfer case for continuous four-wheel-drive traction.
Just in case the power ratings aren’t enough to whet your appetite, we’ve got some acceleration and top speed information as well. With a top speed of 118 miles per hour, RAM estimates a 0 to 60 mph acceleration time of 3.5 seconds, and it can get from 0–100 in 10 seconds flat, or push onto a quarter-mile in 12.2 seconds. Lastly, standard Launch Control can regulate the engine and monitor wheel-slip feedback, adjusting off-the-line traction for optimum acceleration.
Desert-Tuned Suspension and Capability
RAM engineered this monstrosity for high-speed off-road stability. It’s equipped with second-gen Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive performance shocks, which work alongside RAM Active Terrain Dynamics suspension management to adjust damping across changing surfaces. The truck sits on 18-inch black wheels wrapped in 35” all-terrain tires, altogether delivering 11.8” of ground clearance, 13” of front suspension travel, and up to 14” of rear axle travel.
The TRX SRT will also provide nine different driver-selectable modes that tailor the powertrain and chassis behavior for different situations. They include Auto, Sport, Tow, Snow, Mud/Sand, Rock, Baja, Custom, and Valet. This is more than the truck’s biggest competitor, the Ford Raptor R, has to offer. Alongside its off-road hardware, the TRX SRT maintains a 7,800-lb Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, a 15,160-lb Gross Combined Weight Rating, up to 8,330 lbs of towing capacity, and a 1,510-lb maximum payload.
Cabin Technology and Special Editions
Inside, the new RAM truck features extended leather and suede seating surfaces accented with red stitching, a full suede headliner and visors, and real carbon-fiber trim. It features a 14.5” Uconnect 5 infotainment system, which is the largest display screen in the class, paired with a 12.3” digital gauge cluster and 10” full-color Head-Up Display. Integrated Performance and Off-Road Pages display real-time telemetry across Launch Control, Dashboard, Dyno/Engine, and Vehicle Dynamics screens. Other standard amenities include:
- 19-speaker, 900-watt Harman Kardon audio system; featuring a 10-inch subwoofer
- Dual wireless charging pads; class-exclusive
- 360-degree surround-view camera
- Hands-Free Active Drive Assist (Level 2+)
The TRX SRT will also have a special edition package available called the Bloodshot Night Edition. This package adds:
- Blacktop painted hood and roof
- Two-tone lower paint
- Red hood stripe
- Bedside splash graphics
- 18” beadlock-capable wheels
- Red-threaded carbon fiber
- Glass-encased center console badge.
