The Ram TRX is back, and this time it’s wearing an SRT badge again.
That might not sound like a big deal until you realize there hasn’t been an SRT pickup from Ram in 20 years.
Back then, they shoved a Viper engine into a truck just because they could.
Now, they’re doing something just as unhinged – only louder.

Why the return of the 777hp Ram TRX matters
The 2027 TRX is the first SRT-branded pickup Ram has made since the early 2000s, and it’s clearly designed to turn heads.
Instead of slowly re-entering the performance truck space, Ram went all in.
Under the hood is a supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 producing 777 horsepower and 680lb-ft of torque.
That’s more power than the previous TRX, and more than its main rival, the Ford Raptor R.
Ram wanted this truck to sit at the top, not blend in.
Even though it’s a massive, heavy truck riding on 35-inch tires, the TRX can still sprint from 0-60mph in about 3.5 seconds.
Full-time four-wheel drive, a strong rear axle, and an eight-speed automatic help keep all that power usable instead of wasted.
The off-road setup hasn’t been softened either.
The TRX uses adaptive Bilstein shocks that can adjust while the truck is airborne, helping it land more smoothly.
In simple terms, Ram expects owners to jump in this thing and drive it hard.
Inside, the TRX is more comfortable than before.
There’s a large touchscreen, a 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, and hands-free driver assist tech – something that hasn’t been offered on a TRX until now.
What the new TRX says about Ram’s performance direction
The TRX isn’t meant to be practical or affordable.
It’s meant to be extreme.
With a price over $100,000, it sits above Ram’s other off-road trucks as the brand’s loudest and most powerful option.
There’s also a launch version called the Bloodshot Night Edition, which adds darker styling, red accents, and beadlock-capable wheels.
It doesn’t make more power, it just looks tougher.
Deliveries begin in the second half of 2026, but the message is already clear.
This isn’t Ram saying goodbye to V8 power.
It’s Ram saying they’re still in the game and they’re not holding back.
