As far as light-duty Ram trucks are concerned, the Hellcat-ified TRX is the one to get. HD customers will have to settle for the Power Wagon, which leaves a few things to be desired, starting with the sole engine option.
More specifically, Ram limits you to the 6.4-liter HEMI while leaving the 6.7-liter Cummins out of the picture. Fret not, however, because you can circumvent this limitation by going to Rocky Ridge for a few mods.
The HD K2 package kicks off with 5 inches (127 mm) of suspension lift and black off-road wheels that measure 20 inches in diameter. Very chunky tires from BFGoodrich are also featured, along with black-painted power side steps and color-matched smooth fender flares. As standard, Rocky Ridge also throws in a hood decal, custom gauge face, door and tailgate emblems, embroidered headrests, as well as three years or 36,000 miles (58,000 km) of warranty.
Compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, the HD K2 package can be improved with a number of tasteful options like diamond stitching for the leather seats. A spray-in bedliner, body-colored fender vents and chrome accents, a more aggressive front bumper with a 20-inch LED auxiliary light bar, and a matte-finished exterior also need to be mentioned.
Modified in Georgia with proprietary products, the HD K2 isn’t available with any powertrain mods because that wouldn’t sit right with Ram in terms of warranty. As such, you can expect two levels of torque from the Cummins turbo diesel. As standard, you’re treated to 850 pound-feet (1,151 Nm) of twist, whereas the range-topping option delivers a whopping 1,075 pound-feet (1,458 Nm).
When equipped for the job, the Ram HD is much obliged to tow 37,100 pounds (16,828 kilograms) with a gooseneck or 23,000 pounds (10,433 kilograms) for a conventional tow-behind trailer. Don’t expect those ratings to apply to the Rocky Ridge-tuned truck, though, but that level of torque will come in handy off the beaten path. Better still, opting for the Cummins translates to more miles to the gallon compared to the free-breathing HEMI.
