Powered By A Hellcat
The growling rumble of a supercharged Hellcat HEMI 6.2-liter V8 is what powers Ram's pinnacle of pickup trucks. The Hellcat pushes 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque through a four-wheel drive powertrain. This makes the TRX one of the fastest trucks around, capable of reaching 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4.5 seconds, and being able to complete the quarter-mile challenge in just 12.9 seconds at a very impressive 108 miles per hour.
The 2021 Ram TRX is efficient at maintaining such high speeds and stable performance thanks to a redesigned exterior for aerodynamic purposes, with the vents on the bonnet designed to increase airflow and help the TRX accelerate out of the gate while staying cool in the process. Thanks to the Ram Launch Control with Launch Assist, the TRX is able to leap off the line and achieve maximum acceleration as quickly as possible.
Top Of The Line Suspension
The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX isn't just about outputting maximum power - it's also about stabilizing that power and ensuring that drivers experience as smooth a ride as possible. The TRX has a wider track width than the standard Ram 1500, and a reinforced suspension to take whatever kind of abuse mother nature can dish out. With the 11.8-inch ground clearance, the typical hills and rocky terrain won't be a problem for the TRX, making it the right vehicle for all your off-roading activities or sporting events.
The truck's top of the line suspension includes numerous state of the art components, such as the Bilstein Black Hawk e2 shocks, which help absorb some of the most punishing terrain you could put the TRX through. Based on proprietary control algorithms and working hand-in-hand with the vehicle dynamics, the Black Hawk e2 shocks monitor vehicle performance and telemetry in order to dynamically adapt to steering angles, speed, and throttle position.
They even include ZoneControl technology that cushions bumps through the hydraulics and dampens compression thanks to the dual-valve technology. This means that no matter what you throw at the TRX – no matter what the road conditions are, whether it be rocky hillsides, dirt mounds, or winding pavement – the suspension will be able to tough through it and keep your ride as stable as possible.
Towing And Payload
A large part of the appeal of pickups is in their ability to tow and carry large amounts of supplies or equipment in the cargo bed. And even though the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is made for treacherous terrain and dangerous environments, it can still tow up to 8,100 pounds. This makes it perfect for towing a wide number of large objects, such as other vehicles, boats for an outing at the lake, or a camper for a night out in the woods.
The TRX also compliments the recreational weekend warrior, as it is perfect for hauling a couple of quad bikes up a mountain pass or taking several dirt bikes to an off-road track. For more utilitarian purposes, you'll find that the Ram 1500 TRX carries a maximum payload of 1,310 pounds, making it ideal for hauling supplies across town or loading up the cargo bed with construction equipment. Whether for work or for play, the TRX combines the perfect mix of satisfying power and workman-ready productivity.
