That level of luxury and refinement looks to continue on the TRX, which is offered solely as a crew cab with the short cargo bed. Ram has redefined expectations for truck interiors with its latest half-ton pickups, which deliver rich-looking materials and impeccable insulation from outside noise. For more information about the TRX's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. We tested the TRX on our 75-mph fuel-economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, and observed a paltry 13 mpg highway. Those figures are significantly lower than the Raptor, which has ratings of 15 mpg city and up to 18 highway.
The TRX is estimated to earn a lowly 10 mpg in the city and a not-much-better 14 mpg on the highway. It has a maximum towing capacity of 8100 pounds (100 less than the F-150 Raptor), and it's able to carry up to 1310 pounds of payload (80 less than the Ford). What's more?Īlthough the TRX can't tow as much as some Ram models, which are currently rated at up to 12,750 pounds, it can still pull a substantial amount.
Every TRX comes with enough underbody plating to protect a Brink's truck, Bilstein remote-reservoir dampers, an electronic-locking rear differential, and gigantic 15.0-inch front brakes. Ram says the half-ton Hellcat can also ford up to 32 inches of water. It rolls on a set of massive 35-inch all-terrain tires mounted on 18-inch wheels that contribute to the truck's 11.8 inches of ground clearance. Along with a reinforced steel frame, it boasts a beefed-up suspension that's built to bend and bound with more than 13 inches of travel. Of course, the TRX is meant to play in the mud, rocks, and sand, too. Still, its supercharged V-8 is ready to emit exciting sounds from its exhaust pipes. Despite its hefty curb weight and huge footprint, the Hellcat-powered Ram is surprisingly refined and easy to handle on paved roads. That makes it the quickest pickup we've ever tested. During our testing, the TRX shot to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds and completed the quarter-mile in 12.3 seconds at 110 mph. 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 ahead by nearly $4000 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. Even though the TRX starts just north of $80,000, it's a lot of truck for the money.
