Ram has been teasing a high-powered rival to the Ford F-150 Raptor ever since it introduced the Rebel TRX concept truck at the 2016 Texas State Fair. A subject of much speculation since then, we are pleased to announce that the wait is finally over and the production 2021 TRX has finally become a reality. And, Wow, what a truck it is. The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is simply the apex predator of the truck world and is engineered to handle the most punishing conditions with extreme capability and durability. The world of "muscle trucks" is going to be changed forever.
What makes the 2021 TRX so special?
Let’s start with the power plant. Below its prominently scooped hood lurks a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8. More popularly known as the Hellcat engine, this supercharged beast produces a wild 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. This propels the TRX from zero-to-60-mph time in 4.5 seconds and it is said to complete the quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds at 108 mph.
How capable is the TRX off-road?
While the Hellcat engine is hugely impressive for any pickup, the TRX is actually meant to play well in the mud, rocks, and sand too. Along with a reinforced steel frame, it boasts a heavy-duty active suspension system with more than 13 inches of travel. Those that live for the offroad, the TRX comes equipped with massive 35-inch all-terrain tires which gives it 11.8 inches of ground clearance. The TRX also comes with extensive underbody plating, an electronic-locking rear differential, Bilstein remote-reservoir dampers, and gigantic 15.0-inch front brakes. Note: the TRX is not designed to be the company’s most powerful towing machine but it is currently rated at up to 8100 pounds, which is 100 more than the competing F-150 Raptor. It is also capable of carrying up to 1310 pounds of payload (120 more than the Raptor).
What is the Interior like in the 2021 TRX?
Ram has redefined expectations for truck interiors with rich-looking materials and thick sound-deadening in the TRX. The optional TR1 and TR2 packages add leather-covered surfaces and a mix of microsuede and carbon-fiber accents. The TRX's flat-bottom steering wheel features a pair of prominent paddle shifters, but there's also a floor shifter located on the center console. Options include a digital rearview mirror, a heads-up display, and heated front seats.
What is the 2021 TRX Infotainment Center all about?
Vertically mounted in the middle of the dashboard on every TRX is a huge 12.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The unit boasts Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a built-in navigation system. The display can be divided into separate menus so that multiple applications can be accessed at once and it also features physical knobs and buttons for intuitive user control. The truck can also be outfitted with a mighty 900-watt, 19-speaker Harman-Kardon sound system.
What are the 2021 TRX safety and driver-assistance features?
Although the 2021 TRX hasn't been crash-tested by the NHTSA yet, Ram does stock its mightiest pickup with a wide variety of available driver-assistance technology, including an automated function that helps make hooking up a trailer easier. Key safety features available include Lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist, Blind-spot monitoring, and Adaptive cruise control.
