FCA’s Ram brand one-upped the Ford F-150 Raptor earlier this year with the launch of the 1500 TRX, the most extreme and expensive version of its pickup truck.
It boasts a reinforced frame, long-travel suspension, wider tracks, high ground clearance, chunky off-road rubber, underbody protection, full-time active transfer case and abundant power, which makes it a highly-versatile machine that can cope with anything you can throw at it.

With the launch control engaged, it needs only 4.5 seconds to hit 60 mph (96 km/h). It will run the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds with an exit speed of 108 mph (174 km/h), and will max out at 118 mph (190 km/h). This kind of performance is possible thanks to its Hellcat-sourced, supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that makes 702 HP (712 PS / 523 kW) and 650 lb-ft (880 Nm) of torque.
The 1500 TRX has a unique grille, functional air scoop on the hood with LED lighting, special bumpers with tow hooks, fender flares and LED front and rear lights, as well as front seats with extra bolstering and a 12-inch monitor in the middle of the dashboard to control various functions.
How does everything feel like from behind the wheel? This is where KBB’s review comes in, as they drove the 1500 TRX on tarmac and off the beaten path. So, what did they think of Ram’s super truck?
