![]() ![]() These features and materials may seem out of place at first glance, but the TRX is a performance vehicle first and a truck second. ![]() Buyers can also get real carbon-fiber accents as part of a package that places the material in can’t miss areas. Of course, Ram gave the TRX its own unique sporty touches, like a flat-bottom steering wheel, large shift paddles, heavily bolstered seats, a launch control button, and a TRX-labeled drive mode controller. Ram makes the best interiors of any pickup truck on sale, so the TRX is just as luxurious, upscale, and high-tech as its stablemates. Its competitor, the Raptor, looks nothing like the F-150 that it’s based on. In Ram’s defense, form really does follow function and it looks like an angrier version of the Rebel. All it’s missing is one questionable bumper sticker to complete the look. In fact, everyone on the road thinks that you’re just another stereotypical pickup truck owner in a lifted, obnoxiously loud truck. While the TRX looks like a snarling beast, its design isn’t as outrageous as one would expect from a deranged pickup truck. The test vehicle Ram provided also has a spare tire sitting in the bed, which is incredibly inconvenient, but gives the pickup truck a trophy truck costume. The pickup truck also sits 11.8 inches off the ground thanks in part to its enormous 35-inch all-terrain tires. A medium-sized dog would be able to curl up into a ball for a nap in the TRX’s massive fenders and the hood scoop is large enough to suck in unknowing bunnies. ![]() Pickup trucks are often massive, but the TRX feels and looks like it’s larger than life itself. At the end of the day, though, it doesn’t have to, because Ram has made something so unique that it’s hard to comprehend. It’s so big, so powerful, so outrageous that it doesn’t make any sense. It’s also hilarious fun.įord may have created the high-performance off-roading pickup truck segment with the Raptor, but the Ram TRX is an entirely different creature. Who the hell would create this? It seriously feels like it’s not from planet Earth, because it’s ferocious and unrelenting. The first time you engage launch control and feel and hear the raw power that the Ram TRX has, you almost kind of laugh. Those powers come in the form of a 702-horsepower supercharged V8 and Baja-style suspension. It’s taken the Ram 1500, which has struggled against the likes of the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and given it superpowers to make the 2022 Ram TRX. I, though, have a feeling that Stellantis (previously FCA) knew about the original Superman’s story, because it’s done something similar with the Ram 1500. ![]()
