2021 Ram 1500 TRX First Drive Review: More Than An Engine
The Ram 1500 TRX packs a supercharged Hellcat V8 and some of the best off-road features you’ll find anywhere.

The Ram TRX starts at $69,995, which means you definitely will have to pay to play in the dirt. And with options like advanced safety, carbon fiber trim, and the bed-mounted spare – among others – our tester costs closer to $90,000. With a few more options, you can hike the price to over $100,000. That's a lot of money for a truck, even one with 702 horses – especially when you consider the Raptor starts at just $53,455 comparatively.
But the Ram TRX is more than just a Hellcat engine shoved into a 1500. Yes, it is stupid fast and wonderfully loud, like you'd expect – you'll beat pretty much any other truck between stoplights. Instead, it's the careful and thoughtful engineering applied to the suspension and chassis that makes this truck so damn special and so capable. Illogical or not, the Ram TRX is the pinnacle of performance truck engineering.
