In fact, the new RAM 1500 got an even more impressive modification of the TRX Hellcat, where they decided to put the compressor version of the “eight” for 702 hp. With. For comparison, the eternal rival Ford F-150 Raptor 2021 model year can boast only 462 “horses”, not to mention another status “chips”, of which there is a huge variety in the new Dodge RAM TRX.

Body
Talking about the exterior of one of the most popular pickups in the United States is difficult enough since such cars traditionally rely on many options and accessories that are ready to change the design style, improve the usability of the car or improve its off-road qualities.
In the 2021 Dodge RAM TRX, there are more than 100 such points, and the distinctive feature of the updated model can only be called a pronounced “muscularity” of the body and an abundance of plastic body kits.
Compared to its predecessor, the body became wider, the ground clearance reached 300 mm, and the car itself was ready to easily and without damage to the interior or engine compartment to overcome the water barrier with a depth of 813 mm.
Salon
Inside this car, it is very easy to feel like in a Boeing cockpit. A lot of buttons and knobs, a huge central display, a massive multifunction steering wheel, the same solid center armrest, wide seats – all this is perfectly matched by a very high-quality combination of leather and Alcantara trim, which in the richest version is complemented by red stitching and the same bright inserts on the chairs …
At the same time, the basic equipment includes six airbags, a 12-inch touchscreen with a navigator, a 900-watt Harman Kardon audio system (19 speakers), and a circular view camera.
Specifications and filling
The 2021 Dodge RAM TRX will be powered by a 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine, which in the most affordable version of the pickup will produce 583 hp.
He will be assisted by an eight-speed “automatic” ZF, an updated razradochnaya “box” and an electronically controlled rear-axle locking system. The chassis elements also show impressive performance: 381mm front brake discs and new springs that increase suspension travel to 330mm.
“Mad” version of the 1500 Rebel TRX Hellcat
The 702-horsepower version of the TRX Hellcat will be the most powerful among serial pickups with internal combustion engines, and for the body, this version will receive a special body kit. There are also adaptive shock absorbers, a five-link rear suspension with a continuous axle, and “toothy” Goodyear Wrangler Territory tires.
This monster will not save even in front of dynamic urban crossovers: it will take only about 4.5 seconds to accelerate to “hundreds”. The maximum speed is set at 190 km / h, but this figure is not as interesting to potential pickup buyers as, for example, its ability to tow a trailer. In this respect, the RAM TRX is again the best, as it is ready to move “RVs” weighing 3.6 tons.
