What Makes the 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX Stand Out in the Truck Market

The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX is the most powerful production, street-legal, gas half-ton pickup ever built. Its 6.2 L supercharged HEMI V8 delivers 777 hp and 680 lb-ft of torque, and this is the first TRX to wear the SRT badge. It is also the first SRT Ram in two decades, following the Ram SRT10 of 2006.

The engine grabs the headlines, and the rest of the truck backs it up. Long-travel off-road suspension, full-time four-wheel drive, a fully equipped cabin and standard hands-free driving assistance all come together in one pickup. Here is a closer look at the details that set the TRX apart in the full-size truck segment.

2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX Key Specifications

The Most Powerful Production Gas Half-Ton Pickup

SRT engineers raised horsepower by more than 10% over the previous TRX, and torque climbs 40 lb-ft over the 2024 model. Those ratings beat the next nearest competitor by 57 hp and 40 lb-ft of torque, which makes the TRX the fastest and most powerful production gas pickup truck in the world.

A 2.4 L twin-screw supercharger sits at the heart of the engine. To keep it fed, a dual-path induction system pulls cool outside air through the side of the grille opening and the centre-mounted hood scoop. Both air streams meet at a high-capacity air filter housed in an open-top air box, so field cleaning takes only a moment.

Power reaches the ground through a high-torque-capacity TorqueFlite 8HP95 eight-speed automatic transmission. It delivers quick, crisp shifts and can skip gears under light throttle or full throttle. With standard Launch Control engaged, the TRX runs from 0 to 96 km/h in 3.5 seconds and continues to a top speed of 190 km/h.

A BorgWarner 48-13 full-time active transfer case manages traction with 4WD Auto, 4WD High (locked) and 4WD Low (locked) settings. A 2.64:1 low range gives you precise control for slow crawling. Out back, a sport-tuned true dual exhaust with full stainless-steel construction finishes with 127 mm double-walled black tips.

Built to Run Hard Off-Road

The TRX sits at the top of Ram's off-road light-duty lineup, and its suspension shows why. Second-generation Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive performance shocks continuously adjust compression and rebound damping. Ram Active Terrain Dynamics works with those shocks and the stability control system, and it can even anticipate a mid-air moment to prepare the suspension for a composed landing.

Up front, an independent suspension with forged aluminum upper and lower control arms provides 330 mm (13 in) of travel. In the rear, a Dana 60 axle with full-floating shafts and an electronic locking differential pairs with Ram's five-link coil system for up to 356 mm (14 in) of travel. The TRX also rides 51 mm higher and 152 mm wider than the Ram 1500 Rebel.

• 330 mm (13 in) of front travel and 356 mm (14 in) of rear travel
• 300 mm (11.8 in) of ground clearance on standard 35-inch tires
• Dana 60 rear axle with electronic locking differential
• Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive shocks with Ram Active Terrain Dynamics

A Fully Equipped Cabin

The TRX comes fully equipped as standard. A 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, the largest in its class, anchors a dashboard wrapped in hand-stitched leather. A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a full-colour Head-Up Display with a 10-inch field of view keep key information in your line of sight.

Front-seat passengers get heated, ventilated and massaging seats with 12-way power adjustment and memory. Rear passengers get class-exclusive reclining seats that are both heated and ventilated. Extended leather and suede surfaces, real carbon-fibre trim and a full suede headliner complete the space.

• 900-watt Harman Kardon audio system with 19 speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer
• Class-exclusive dual wireless charging pads
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Standard surround 360-degree camera system

Hands-Free Driving Assistance as Standard

For the first time, the TRX includes Hands-Free Active Drive Assist (Level 2+) as standard equipment. Along with the Ram 1500 RHO, this makes Ram the only truck manufacturer to offer hands-free capability on a high-performance, off-road gas pickup. Standard Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist and Blind-Spot Monitoring round out the driver assistance features.

Towing is part of the package too. The TRX can tow up to 8,580 lbs (3,892 kg), and optional Trailer Reverse Steer Control lets you guide a trailer in reverse with a simple rotating knob.

Bloodshot Night Edition and Personalization Options

The Bloodshot Night Edition celebrates the return of the TRX with the first two-tone design in the truck's history. It adds a hand-painted Blacktop upper in Diamond Black Crystal Pearl Coat, a painted Flame Red centre hood stripe and a unique bodyside splash graphic. Inside, you get carbon fibre with red anodized thread, red-outline TRX badging and a glass-encased centre console badge. Beadlock-capable wheels in Satin Black with Satin Titanium beadlock rings finish the look.

Every TRX can also be customized with a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, a bed-mounted exterior tire carrier, a full-length rock rail or powder-coated aluminum running boards, and hood and bedside graphics. Seven exterior colours were offered at launch.

Is the 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX Right for You?

The TRX is built for drivers who want record-setting acceleration and serious off-road hardware in one truck, without giving up a luxury cabin. If you want a pickup that can run 0 to 96 km/h in 3.5 seconds on the street and soak up rough trails on the weekend, the TRX is the clear choice.

If your top priority is maximum towing, the broader Ram 1500 lineup has you covered as well, with configurations rated up to 11,530 lbs (5,230 kg). For drivers who want the most powerful gas half-ton pickup ever built, the TRX stands alone.
