2021 Ram 1500 TRX – Dream Cars Subscribe – https://www.youtube.com/DreamCarsPro/?sub_confirmation=1 The 2021 Ram TRX based on the company’s current half-ton pickup, the TRX gets a long list of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades that finally give Ram a legitimate high-speed rival to the heretofore-unchallenged Ford Raptor. Due at dealers early next year, the TRX will start at $69,995, available in a crew cab/short bed body style. Ram calls the 2021 TRX “the apex predator of the truck world,” and it’s hard to argue with that hyperbole given the truck’s hard bits. FCA’s legendary Hellcat 6.2-liter V8 makes the jump to a body-on-frame vehicle in the TRX, which boasts 702 hp (523 kw) and 650 pound-feet (881 newton-meters) in this application.

Engineers also beefed up the standard 1500 pickup’s frame for the TRX, infusing it with higher-strength steel and strategically thicker, heavier rails. A high-performance ZF eight-speed transmission, shared with the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, routes the Hellcat’s power to all four wheels through a part-time four-wheel drive system. The transfer case gets an upgraded chain, pinion, bearings, and clutches to cope with the prodigious torque, and a Dana 60 solid rear axle comes equipped with an electronic-locking rear differential for lurid powerslides and good desert performance. In addition to the Hellcat V8’s 702 hp and 650 lb-ft, the Ram TRX boasts a two-path air intake, with half coming through a ram air inlet in the grille and the other half
