The wait for the most powerful mass-produced production truck is almost over. The very first 2021 Ram 1500 TRX rolled off the line, today, in Sterling Heights, Michigan. The Launch Edition model with VIN # 001 will be auctioned for charity.
Production on the long-awaited 702-horsepower truck started the same day that the TRX was announced as a finalist for North American Truck of the Year. Truck fans have been waiting for this huge horsepower truck since the TRX was shown as a concept in 2016. Ram promised that the 2021 Ram TRX would be the fastest and most powerful mass-produced truck on the market. The 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 delivers 702-horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. The TRX’s frame uses high-strength steel to improve durability and stability both on and off-road. The HEMI V-8 is mated to an eight-speed TorqueFlite transmission. The TRX sits 2” higher than other Ram trucks.
