The Ram 1500 TRX returns as the Ram TRX SRT. Although three fresh letters now join its name, the TRX label alone still identifies the model clearly. The SRT line existed before the TRX, but Ram's high-output pickup has earned strong recognition since its arrival less than ten years ago. Along with the updated badge, the TRX brings new features after a two-year absence.

The TRX remains the powerful beast of pavement and trail that enthusiasts recall, now with its supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 producing 777 horsepower, up by 75. Torque also rises from 650 to 680 pound-feet. Several updates deliver these gains. The most noticeable is a revised cold air intake with improved routing. Ram increased fuel pressure from 73 to 102 psi. The redline also climbs 200 rpm to 6500, the point where peak output is reached.

With launch control engaged, 60 mph comes in an estimated 3.5 seconds according to Ram, a believable figure given the prior 702-hp version recorded 3.7 seconds. That earlier model covered the quarter-mile in 12.3 seconds, so this updated truck may reach 12 seconds flat. Top speed stays at the claimed 118 mph, which is sensible for this vehicle.

While the engine received updates, the TRX suspension stays largely the same. It uses a forged-aluminum control-arm front setup and a solid rear axle with four trailing links plus a lateral track bar. Coil springs match prior specifications at both ends. Travel remains 13.0 inches front and 14.0 inches rear. Ground clearance holds at 11.8 inches, and the truck continues on 325/65R-18 all-terrain tires. The main change involves retuned software for the Bilstein Black Hawk e2 active shocks along with revised internal and external bump stops.

Ram demonstrated the TRX SRT capabilities on a course set up at a local motocross track. The truck can now sense its airborne attitude and adjust the shocks to soften landings, improving stability after jumps. The damping changes also help on uneven pavement, where the new model smooths imperfections better than before. Steering feel builds progressively in corners, and the tires reach their grip limit with familiar howl. That limit appears similar to the prior model's 0.70 g on the skidpad.

Exterior updates include more than the new dinosaur graphic on the tailgate. SRT emblems now appear on several body panels to match the naming shift. Red accents highlight the front and rear tow hooks, the flow-through Ram badge, and the engine-displacement emblem. Additional subtle changes feature fresh wheel designs and updated running lamps.

The cabin retains familiar items such as the console shifter and aluminum paddles on the wheel. It also gains features from Ram's 2025 lineup refresh that arrived after the TRX hiatus. A 14.5-inch central screen, 12.3-inch digital cluster, and 10.0-inch head-up display provide ample digital space. The latest hands-free driving aids are present and function adequately, though they can react strongly to brief glances away from the road. Most buyers of a 777-hp truck will likely prefer full manual control anyway.

All this performance carries a high cost. The 2027 Ram 1500 TRX SRT starts at $102,790. Additional options such as bead-lock wheels, a panoramic sunroof, rock rails, running boards, and towing packages can increase the price further. Premium paint adds cost, and the Bloodshot Night package with its three-tone paint, graphics, and bead-lock wheels costs $9995. Transaction prices near $110,000 or more are easy to envision.

Ram notes that the TRX SRT delivers more horsepower per dollar than competing Ford Raptor models. While that metric favors the revised TRX, the latest super-truck offers additional strengths that merit consideration.
