RAM 1500 TRX HAS THE MOST POWERFUL FACTORY INSTALLED ENGINE IN ITS CLASS 1. The legendary Supercharged 6.2L HEMI® V8 engine is only available on the 2023 Ram TRX and ensures that this beast can launch from 0 to 60 MPH in just 4.5 seconds.

The Ram 1500 TRX has a surprisingly high amount of handling on paved roads, even with its sizeable curb weight, but it should be known that the pickup truck was not designed to travel the concrete jungle, but rather it specializes in off-road travel.

Essentially the regular Ram 1500 on steroids, the juiced-up TRX is dramatically wider and has a supercharged V-8 that generates 702 horsepower. Sure, there are mightier Hellcat-powered models, but no other stock pickup sounds like it ate a band of demons while sailing to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds.

The TRX can slurp up off-road miles faster than most as it's the quickest gas-powered truck we've ever tested: The 702-hp monster flew to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. That means that despite its 6800-pound heft, it can beat a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 to the next streetlight.

So, it was really just a timing thing,” Gillam told the publication. Yes, it's that simple. Ram had to make a very quick - and legal-friendly - decision and the name TRX was the obvious choice because the automaker already had the rights to use it. The team simply didn't want to waste too much time on that decision.

The Ford F-150 Raptor R has a 10-speed auto transmission, while the Ram TRX is equipped with an 8-speed. Despite having similar horsepower, the F-150 Raptor R has a superior weight-to-power ratio. The F-150 Raptor R is much lighter, at 6,100 pounds, compared to the 6,800 pounds the TRX weighs.

This means there's a 6.2-liter V8 Hellcat supercharged mill generating power, which reaches all four wheels. Its output from the factory is 702 horsepower but this truck has 711 thanks to the upgraded exhaust system.

The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is built at FCA's Sterling Heights (Michigan) Assembly Plant.

2023 RAM TRX Go where only few would dare to venture. And when you push against gravity with 702 horses at your command, you won't be able to shake the truth - Ram 1500 TRX is the most powerful street legal production pickup in its class 1.
