The Apex Pickup Returns: Ram's TRX Is Back as the Fastest and Most Powerful Production Gas Pickup Truck in the World
The 2027 Ram TRX revives the Hellcat V8 with 777 hp, full-time 4WD, advanced suspension, and Baja-ready features, making it the most powerful factory half-ton truck, Ram says.
- Ram unveiled the 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX Bloodshot Night Edition on Thursday, with availability set for the second half of 2026.
- Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis framed the move as part of a broader turnaround, reviving the Hemi V-8 and relaunching the SRT Performance Division to boost U.S. sales.
- The TRX is powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat supercharged V-8 rated at 777 horsepower and 680 pound-feet, routed through a TorqueFlite 8HP95 eight-speed automatic and BorgWarner 48-13 transfer case.
- Priced from $99,995 excluding destination, Ram says the TRX will likely cost about $10,000 less than the Ford F-150 Raptor R, positioning it as a direct challenger.
- The resurrected 2027 Ram TRX marks the return of SRT after two decades and carries new SRT badging, signaling a new path forward under Tim Kuniskis's strategy for the SRT relaunch.
