In other words, any 1500 TRX owner planning to visit the drag strip may want to consider some of Hennessey's upgrades.įor the Mammoth 1000 TRX, the list of upgrades include a custom 2.65-liter supercharger for the Hellcat 6.2-liter V-8, plus pulley upgrades, a high-flow intake, stainless-steel headers, high-flow exhaust piping (including the catalytic converter), and recalibrated engine management. Sure that is potent, but Ford is working on a new V-8-powered F-150 Raptor R for 2022 that's rumored to come with the 760-hp supercharged V-8 of the Mustang Shelby GT500. In comparison, the stock 1500 TRX comes with 702 hp and 650 lb and, according to Ram, will accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds and run the quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds.

Remember, this is a full-size, off-road-rated truck we're talking about. With so much oomph, Hennessey estimates its modified 1500 TRX, aptly named the Mammoth 1000 TRX, will rocket to 60 mph from rest in 3.2 seconds and pass the quarter-mile in 11.4 seconds at over 120 mph. Hennessey in January announced a turnkey version that sees the super truck's output dialed to a staggering 1,012 horsepower and 969 pound-feet of torque, and on Wednesday the first 20 examples were shown off at the company's plant in Sealy, Texas. Canadian pricing starts at $93,995, with the Launch Edition stickered at $114,995.The 20 TRX is a vehicle that's hardly lacking in performance, but that's never stopped the folks at Hennessey Performance Engineering from turning up the volume. Ram says customers can plunk down an order for a new TRX starting tomorrow. In short, you’ll still be able to haul a few toys on a trailer with enough payload left over for you and a couple of buddies. Ram has kept this effect to a minimum, rating TRX as capable of towing 8100 pounds and bearing 1310 pounds of payload. The rest of the interior will look familiar to fans of the brand, save for a few TRX-specific details like badging and ID plates.Īppending copious amounts of off-road kit to a truck generally hampers its ability to tow and haul, thanks to limitations of minor stuff like the laws of physics.

Residing where the shifter used to be are a series of buttons to control the TRX’s myriad of drive and off-road modes, including a tremendous notation for the launch control system.Īnother surprise? The debut of Ram’s Trailer Reverse Steer Control, an answer to Ford’s Pro Trailer Backup Assist managed by a new dial mounted directly underneath the truck’s 12-inch Uconnect infotainment touchscreen which now houses Performance and Off-Road pages. This likely a tacit admission from Ram that the spinny knob found in other Ram pickups doesn’t project the right image for this hairy-chested off-roader. Inside, it’ll not go unnoticed that the eight-speed automatic mentioned earlier is controlled by a console-mounted shifter lifted from the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Koval said the front axle has been moved 20 millimetres forward compared to a standard Ram 1500 in a bid to fit all the gubbins, though that detail goes unmentioned in official propaganda. New integrated composite fender flares add eight inches of body width and feature all-new steel box outers. You’re also looking at 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory all-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels, by the way.Ĭompared to a stock Ram, the TRX body swells like a anaphylactic who forgot his EpiPen. Ground clearance checks in at nearly 12 inches thanks to a two-inch ride height increase over regular Ram trucks. Sometimes, finesse is preferable to wild abandon.īetter than 13 inches of wheel travel is on tap at all four corners, which is over 40 per cent better than the rest of Ram 1500’s lineup. For those unfamiliar, employing coil springs instead of leaf springs in a pickup truck is like editing a term paper using Faber-Castell correction tape instead of a V8-powered paper shredder. An electronic locking rear diff is standard and the Borg-Warner transfer case features a low range of 2.64:1 for rock crawling duties.Īnd, yes, the five-link coil suspension remains. Full-floating hubs and an axle-hop damper should provide good traction and axle control on rough surfaces. Out back, you’ll also find those Bilsteins, along with a Dana 60 solid rear axle into which 3.55 ratio gears are stuffed.
