It may be almost three years old, but the Ram 1500 TRX continues to keep enthusiasts up at night with its Hellcat power, menacing stance, and ability to go fast on any terrain.
Shown to the world in 2020, it was previewed by the Rebel TRX Concept some four years before and sports heavy-duty upgrades, wider fenders, skid plates, more ground clearance than the regular 1500, independent front suspension, active damping at both axles, full-time active transfer case, interior upgrades, and a whining engine under the hood.
Popularly known as the Hellcat unit, it is the same 6.2-liter supercharged V8 found in other fun-to-drive vehicles, which produces 702 hp (712 ps/524 kW) and 650 lb-ft (881 Nm). The eight-speed auto 'box channels everything to the four-wheel drive system that's off-road focused. The 1500 TRX has a 118 mph (190 kph) top speed, takes 4.5 seconds to sprint to 60 mph (97 kph), and needs just under 13 seconds to deal with the quarter mile, assuming you know your way around this menacing truck, as that thrust is not easy to keep in check.
As standard, it features 18-inch wheels shod in 35-inch all-terrain tires from Goodyear that were specially designed for this model. Optionally, however, the sky is the limit when it comes to the wheel and tire combo. The pictured Ram 1500 TRX has a set of Y-spoke alloys with a concave shape that Vossen made. The HF6-4 set is available in 20, 22, 24, and 26 inches in diameter, with respective widths from 9.5 to 12 inches, and starts at $649 per wheel. There are several hues that can be applied to them, and they have become the wheel of choice for many potent high-riders, from the GMC Denali and Toyota Tundra to the Ford Bronco and Hummer H3. They've also been fitted to several machines boasting an extra axle for six-wheel drive capability.
Besides the wheels mentioned above, which we think look great on most 4x4s (and 6x6s, for that matter), the pictured Ram 1500 TRX, which calls the Lone Star State home, has a very desert-y look due to the custom wrap (unless it's a paint finish). The owner chose to keep it simple, as it doesn't feature any extreme features, giving it privacy windows all around before calling it a day. This design suits the super truck like a glove and doesn't render it useless once the comfort of the tarmac ends. That said, it can still tackle some steep slopes and arduous tracks through the wilderness. But wait, you're probably wondering what all that fuss about the controversial license plate was, and the answer lies in the photo gallery above. That said, you know what to do to find out, don't you?
