More popularly known as the Hellcat engine, this specific version produces 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, which is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Hiding between the TRX's bulging fenders and below its scooped hood is a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8. We'd select that option as well as the Trailer-Tow package to maximize the pickup's pulling abilities.

Highlights include leather-trimmed seats, cargo-box lighting, a flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in leather and microsuede, a storage compartment under the rear seat, and more. That pushes its price close to $78k but brings a smorgasbord of upgrades. For example, a heated steering wheel and heated front seats cost extra, and they're otherwise only available with the Level 1 package. While the base version is certainly well-equipped, it lacks some features that we'd expect to be standard. Then again, no one ever said owning a monster is easy.Įven though the TRX starts just north of $74,000, it's a lot of truck for the money.

Living with the 2022 Ram TRX isn't all Monster Jam-worthy antics, though, because maneuvering in traffic or parking lots can cause anxiety and frequent fuel fill-ups will become a routine. Even then it'll have to contend with the Ram's ridiculously luxurious interior and remarkable on-road manners, which helped it earn a 10Best award and a place on our Editors' Choice list. The 450-hp Ford F-150 Raptor is the TRX's only real challenger, but it's not a fair fight until the 700-plus-hp Raptor R arrives. Sure, there are mightier Hellcat-powered models, but no other stock pickup sounds like it ate a band of demons while sailing to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. Essentially the regular Ram 1500 on steroids, the juiced-up TRX is dramatically wider and has a supercharged V-8 that generates 702 horsepower. Most monster trucks are confined to arenas and closed courses, but the 20 TRX is one that can be unleashed on public roads.
