What’s New For This Dodge Ram TRX?
Dodge Ram challenged his biggest high-powered rival the F-150 Raptor since it debuted a badass concept truck back in 2016, but with the introduction of the new model from the wait is over, and the rivalry became even greater.
What is very striking – despite the fact it packs a 700-plus-horsepower Hellcat motor is that the production on this model of Dodge Ram TRX is approximately the same as what was promised.
With intimidating inflated bodywork, body-colored bead-lock-capable wheels an abundance of other off-road goodies, and a bed-mounted spare-tire carrier, the most radical Ram is is created entirely.
What Is The Price For The Dodge Ram TRX?
The price of this model of Dodge Ram TRX starts from $71,000, which is basically a very large amount of money when it comes to a truck. Оnly for information, no other truck doesn’t produce 700-plus horsepower so this model looks very powerful and aggressive as Muhammad Ali in his prime.
The basic model of this beast has a lot of equipment, but it still lacks some functions that were believed to be standard functions. Just to mention that heated front seats and a heated steering wheel cost extra, and they’re otherwise only available with the Level 1 package. If you opt for this accessory you have to pay $ 75k but bring small upgrades.
The details that make this model stand out are cargo-box lighting, a storage compartment under the rear seat, leather-trimmed seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in leather and microsuede, and more.
If you decide to buy our recommendation is to choose this model as well as the Trailer-Tow package with a target to increase pickup’s pulling abilities.
All those who have a desire for lane-keep assist, the digital rearview mirror, adaptive cruise control, and a head-up display, must choose the Level 2 package and all this increases the price of this Dodge Ram TRX by $80,000.
Performance, Engine, And Transmission
This beast under the hood has a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8. He is known as the Hellcat engine, whereas a specific version produces 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, and the movement of all four wheels is enabled by means of eight-speed automatic transmission.
Dodge Ram TRX accelerates from 0 to 60 mph for a time of 4.5 seconds, and while quarter-mile passes it for amazing 12.9 seconds at 108 mph. The acceleration of this vehicle is very impressive and the time it achieves is unattainable for any pickup—even a high-performance one, but this vehicle is also intended for driving on rocks, sand, and mud.
With an amplified steel frame, TRX boasts a beefed-up suspension which is made in order to bend and bound with more than 13 inches of travel. Moves on massive 35-inch all-terrain tires and they are set to 18-inch wheels that contribute to the truck’s 11.8 inches of ground clearance.
Statements coming from the manufacturer Ram are that their half-ton Hellcat can ford up to 32 inches of water, too. This truck also comes with an electronic-locking rear differential, enough underbody plating to protect a Brink’s truck, gigantic 15.0-inch front brakes, and Bilstein remote-reservoir dampers.
