The Ram 1500 TRX is a high-performance variant of the fifth-generation Ram 1500 (DT) full-size pickup truck, produced by the Ram Trucks division of Stellantis. The TRX name was based on the Ram Rebel TRX concept that was shown at the 2016 State Fair of Texas as an engineering, design and consumer-interest study. Following consumer feedback, the company announced on June 1, 2018, that it would place the truck into production for the 2021 model year.
The original 702 HP TRX was produced during the 2021 through 2024 model years. It was discontinued after the 2024 model year because it couldn't be modified to meet tougher automotive emissions standards, and the company's shift towards electrification, involving the eventual discontinuation of the 6.2L, 6.4L (except for the Ram HD trucks) and 5.7L Hemi engines altogether, being replaced by the 3.0L Hurricane engine. The last special edition TRX was the Ram 1500 TRX Final Edition. The last Ram 1500 TRX was produced on February 16th 2024.
A similar truck, the Ram 1500 RHO was introduced, but it is not a direct successor to the TRX because it uses a different and less powerful engine, the Hurricane. The model year was cut short because of RAM launching 2025 trucks 7 months earlier than their usual model year release date. However, in late July 2025, Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa has officially confirmed that the TRX will be returning for the 2026 model year. The Ram 1500 TRX has returned on January 1, 2026 as a 2027 model, with a redesign and a horsepower upgrade to 777 HP.
The TRX competes with the Ford Raptor family of high-performance pickup trucks.
