With the official unveiling of the 2021 Ram TRX having just taken place, everybody is thinking of the truck that will mixes a supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 with a warranty. However, there are also other versions that deserve our attention, such as the Ram 1500 Classic Warlock. Wait, what - a 1970s styled truck mentioned in this context? Allow us to explain with the help of this rendering.
The idea behind this pixel portrait is to take this nostalgic edition of the Ram 1500 and turn it into a machine that would easily eclipse the just-around-the-corner TRX.
Such a tall order obviously requires special preparation and it all starts with... an extra axle and then some. The latter part refers to the fact that while most six-by-six creations, a genre that has gained extra popularity over the past few years, are aimed at rugged terrain, this one loses quite a few inches of ground clearance instead of gaining them.
In fact, it looks like we're dealing with a 6x6 drift truck - these attributes put together might raise some technical challenges. And it looks like Yasid Oozeear, the artist behind the virtual build, has at least injected a sophisticated suspension setup into the project.
To be more precise, if you peek inside the bed, looking past the new exhaust setup (yes, you can do that), you'll notice pushrod-style suspension for both rear axles.
We can also find plenty of changes up front. And while these are not unlike the stuff you'd find on actual drift trucks, those carbon bits look like something you wouldn't want to use for touching the wall/barrier when the inevitable oopsie happens mid-slide….
PS: That Toyo rubber fitted to the machine won't last too long once this thing starts pulling slip angles, so you'd better take a good look at it in the Instagram post below.
