Remember when Dodge was teasing the Challenger SRT Hellcat? Right before announcing the output of the 6.2-liter supercharged V8, a photograph of the Uconnect infotainment system was published by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. And in that photo, a made-up radio station - ‘70s on 7 - served as the indicator of the engine’s output.
Ram is pulling the same trick with the Rebel TRX, whose Uconnect infotainment system’s digital clock shows 7:07 in a particular photograph of the bone-stock 1500. That’s not a coincidence when you think about it, and better still, Ram confirmed the Rebel TRX in the 2018 – 2022 product plan at the Capital Markets Day 2018 event.
Mopar Insiders published a photograph on Instagram of the Rebel TRX at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes, lots of them as a matter of fact. 5thGenRams followed up with a story in regard to the test mules, crediting Jordan Denhoed for the photographs of the black pickups.
It appears that Ram is trying to hide the Rebel TRX as the Laramie Longhorn, but the extended wheel arches and all-terrain tires aren’t fooling anyone. The “Hellcat-powered Ram 1500 seems right at home in the sand,” and the Ford Motor Company should take notice of what's coming its way.
Ever since the Blue Oval redesigned the F-150 Raptor with the EcoBoost V6, everyone is wondering if the eco-friendly marketing is going too far. Even the GT has a 3.5-liter engine with six cylinders and two turbochargers instead of a pushrod V8 and a supercharger, but Ford might be cooking up a special edition of the F-150 Raptor.
Citing sources within Ford, multiple automotive publications suggest the limited-run model will utilize either the Predator V8 from the Mustang Shelby GT500 or the Godzilla V8 from the F-Series Super Duty. Whatever the future holds, here’s hope a V8 will return to the F-150 Raptor’s engine bay.
Looking at the bigger picture, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has the upper hand with the Hellcat. Proved to 840 horsepower in the Demon and 797 horsepower in the Redeye, the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 has more potential than both the Predator and Godzilla. To be honest, even 707 horsepower would be enough.
