The Ram TRX Is A Beast That's Coming To Eat Your Raptor

What do you get when you want to lunch on a Raptor? You get a Tyrannosaurus Rex, obviously. This is the Ram TRX, full with at least 575 horsepower, and Ram parent firm Fiat Chrysler Automobiles just verified it’s going into output.
The Ram TRX was very first discovered as a principle in 2016, and again then it was just witnessed as that—a concept. After all, if FCA wished to develop something bigger than the Ford Raptor, with its 450 horsepower turbo V6, it would have to try out a very little tougher than it did with the Ram Rebel. Like, at the very least 100 HP more difficult.
But what a principle it was. It came with a 575-HP 6.2-liter supercharged V8. 6-level racing harnesses for each individual passenger. Innovative suspension that Ram claimed was “only shared with the speediest off-highway trucks in desert racing.” FCA even created a total advertising and marketing movie about it:
Alas, just a concept while.
Or so we imagined.




FCA declared that the TRX is indeed likely into production at its massive enterprise conference in Italy this early morning, which means that the off-road desert racer wars are officially ON.
But considering the fact that no person in their appropriate intellect these times tones the engine in a principle down (horsepower is low-priced, after all), we can most likely anticipate that the 575-horsepower engine in the concept will just be a commencing level. Ram has now been hinting at the similar 707-HP featured in its Hellcats and Trackhawks and whatnot, and rumors around at 5thgenRams.com actually place to two various types, one particular named the “TR,” with a normally aspirated V8 putting out 520 HP, and the comprehensive-force TRX, with a supercharger bringing it up to 707 HP.
No phrase, nevertheless, on if individuals lovely harnesses, those people splendid side exhausts, or positively bitchin’ mattress-mounted spare tires will make it into output.
There is just 1 disappointment that we can see previously, sadly. The unique Dodge Ram T-Rex concept, from back in 1997, came with 3 axles and 6-wheel-travel, and we’re not looking at that on the new 1.

Really don’t fear, Ram. It’s not too late to make it correct.
