Supercharged Ram SRT TRX returns with even more power

Less than two years after it was discontinued, Stellantis has announced the return of the Ram 1500 SRT TRX performance pickup truck.

Dropped at the end of the 2024 model year due to emissions regulations, Ram will bring back its Ford F-150 Raptor rival later in 2026.

The 2027 model-year SRT TRX will boast even more horsepower than before, with its supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8 claiming best-in-class outputs. 

In total, the reborn Ram SRT TRX will serve up a colossal 777 horsepower, combined with 680 lb-ft of torque. 

These numbers represent increases of 75 horsepower and 30 lb-ft compared to the TRX withdrawn from sale in 2024. Significantly, this puts the Ram ahead of its F-150 Raptor arch-rival.

More power, more torque, more speed

According to Ram, the relaunched SRT TRX will be the most powerful production half-ton pickup ever made when it hits the street later this year. 

It should also be the fastest half-ton truck on sale, with a top speed of 118 mph. Accelerating from 0-60 mph requires just 3.5 seconds, aided by the SRT TRX’s four-wheel-drive system, launch control, and eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. 

A complete stainless steel exhaust system, complete with a crossover-X pipe, is also fitted to the TRX. Dual five-inch double-walled black tips ensure the exhaust looks as ominous as it will surely sound.

Second-generation Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive shock absorbers are added to the TRX, following knowledge gained during development of the Ram 1500 RHO pickup truck.

Standard equipment includes 35-inch tires, which are combined with 18-inch satin black wheels. Beadlock rims are available as an option.

On sale later in 2026

To commemorate the return of its flagship performance truck, Ram will offer a special 1500 SRT TRX Bloodshot Night Edition.

This includes bespoke, hand-painted black and red paintwork, along with unique side graphics. Red-outlined TRX badges, a glass-encased emblem on the center console and beadlock wheels are all included on the Bloodshot Night Edition, too.

All SRT TRX models come with real carbon fiber interior trim, sports seats upholstered in leather and suede, and TRX-exclusive Ruby Red seat belts.

Sales of the Ram 1500 SRT TRX will begin in the second half of 2026. Prices for the performance truck will start from $99,995, plus a destination charge of $2,595.
