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.
