The Hellcat Is Back! Ram 1500 TRX Rises From the Dead With 777 Horsepower
Thu, 01 Jan 2026 22:45:07 GMT
When Ram boss Tim Kuniskis was asked if the Trump administration's fuel economy rollbacks spawned the resurrection of the legendary TRX pickup, his response was simple: "I was gonna do it anyway."
And why not? Fuel economy, shmuel economy — who doesn't love a rip-snorting dune-jumping supercharged pickup truck? The Ford F-150 Raptor R can't have all the fun.
The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX — yes, it's officially part of Stellantis' SRT performance division now — is back with a few new tricks up its sleeve. For starters, the 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 engine gets a modest power bump, now putting out 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque, up from the previous 702 hp and 650 lb-ft. Ram says this'll get its monster truck up to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds — that's 0.7-second quicker than the last TRX we tested.
