The Ram 1500 TRX made waves when it debuted in 2021 as the most powerful production pickup truck on the market. After a brief production pause, Ram has confirmed the return of this legendary super truck for 2027 - and it's coming back stronger than ever. With 777 horsepower under the hood and a suite of advanced off-road technology, the 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX reclaims its position as the apex predator of the half-ton segment.

For drivers in Alberta who demand uncompromising performance both on pavement and off the beaten path, the TRX is the pinnacle of what a pickup truck can be. Here's everything you need to know about the return of Ram's most capable off-road performance truck.

The Heart of the Beast: 6.2-Litre Supercharged HEMI V-8

The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX is powered by the legendary 6.2-litre supercharged HEMI V-8 engine, delivering a segment-leading 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque. These figures eclipse the nearest competitor by 57 horsepower and 40 lb-ft of torque - a commanding lead in the premium off-road pickup segment.

This powerplant channels its output through a high-torque-capacity TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission and a BorgWarner full-time active transfer case. The result is a truck that launches from 0-96 km/h in just 3.5 seconds and achieves a top speed of 190 km/h - making it the fastest production gas pickup truck in the world.

The engine features a dual-path induction system that draws cool outside air through both the grille opening and the functional centre-mounted hood scoop. Both air streams converge at a high-capacity radial air filter designed to maximize air volume and distribution. A sport-tuned true dual exhaust system with X crossover pipe and 127-millimetre (5-inch) double-walled black tips delivers an unmistakable exhaust note.

Advanced Off-Road Suspension Technology

The TRX builds on knowledge gained through the 2021-2024 TRX generation and the current Ram 1500 RHO. At its foundation is an independent front suspension system with active performance damping, high-strength aluminum components, and forged aluminum upper and lower control arms. This design accommodates 330 millimetres (13 inches) of front suspension travel from droop to full compression.

The rear suspension uses a Dana 60 rear axle with full floating axle shafts and an electronic locking differential. Ram's signature five-link coil system contributes to best-in-class ride comfort while allowing for rear axle travel of up to 356 millimetres (14 inches).

Key Suspension Features:

• Second-generation Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive performance shocks
• Ram Active Terrain Dynamics suspension management system
• 300 millimetres (11.8 inches) of ground clearance
• Enhanced urethane jounce bumper with three-stage progressive hydraulic Jounce Control

The Bilstein Black Hawk e2 shocks feature precision-machined, single-piece rigid aluminum casings with aerodynamically optimized cooling fins that dissipate heat during sustained suspension cycling. Dual Electronic Proportional Valves, connected to nitrogen-charged remote reservoirs, continuously adjust damping forces for precise control of compression and rebound damping.

Multiple Drive Modes for Every Terrain

The TRX offers more drive modes than any competitor in its class, allowing drivers to fine-tune vehicle dynamics for nearly any driving condition. Available modes include Auto, Tow, Mud/Sand, Rock, Snow, Sport, Baja, Custom, and Valet mode. Each mode adjusts traction control, stability control, and damping characteristics to optimize performance.

Launch Control is activated via a dedicated button on the right side of the steering column, providing optimal acceleration across various surfaces in closed-course environments. This feature works in conjunction with the full-time four-wheel-drive system to deliver maximum traction.

Bloodshot Night Edition: Celebrating the Return

To commemorate the TRX's comeback, Ram offers the Bloodshot Night Edition package. This exclusive variant features a hand-painted Blacktop exterior upper in Diamond Black Crystal Pearl Coat with a custom-painted Flame Red centre stripe. Additional exterior elements include distinctive splash body graphics and beadlock-capable wheels finished in Satin Black with Satin Titanium beadlock rings.

Inside, the Bloodshot Night Edition features carbon fibre with red anodized thread integrated into the weave pattern, a glass-encased TRX centre console badge, and red-outline TRX badging throughout the cabin.

Technology and Luxury Combined

The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX maintains Ram's reputation for best-in-class interior technology. The 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 reconfigurable touchscreen is the largest in the segment, powered by the Atlantis electrical architecture that delivers operating speeds five times faster than the previous generation.

A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster displays nearly two dozen different menus, including driver-assist technologies. Above the cluster sits a configurable, full-colour Head-up Display with a 10-inch field of view that provides critical information without requiring drivers to take their eyes off the road or trail.

Interior Comfort Features:

• 12-way power front seats with memory function, massage, heating, and ventilation
• Class-exclusive reclining, heated, and ventilated rear seats
• Hand-wrapped leather interior surfaces with perforated suede inserts
• Red contrast stitching throughout the cabin
• Full suede headliner and visors
• 900-watt premium Harman Kardon audio system with 19 speakers

For the first time, the TRX features a leather-wrapped airbag cover with red stitching, details borrowed from the Ram 1500 Tungsten. Genuine carbon-fibre trim frames the digital instrument cluster and accents the leather-trimmed door panels.

Hands-Free Active Drive Assist

The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX includes Hands-Free Active Drive Assist (L2+) as standard equipment. This advanced driver assistance system allows for hands-off driving and lane centring on approved roadways. The system predictively slows the vehicle in tight curves, automatically resumes control after driver override, and verifies driver attention through infrared sensors.

The TRX and RHO are the only premium, high-performance, gas, off-road pickup trucks to offer this functionality, making the TRX both a thrilling performance vehicle and a relaxing long-distance cruiser.

Aggressive Exterior Design

The TRX's appearance leaves no doubt about its performance capabilities. The truck sits 51 millimetres (two inches) higher and 152 millimetres (six inches) wider than the Ram 1500 Rebel, with composite fender flares that create a purposeful hourglass design and 203-millimetre (eight-inch) wider body overall.

Standard 18-inch Satin Black wheels shroud the largest brake rotors in the class. At the front, blacked-out bi-functional projector LED headlamps flank an aggressive Flame Red flow-through R-A-M grille with an SRT badge in the lower driver-side corner. The steel front bumper integrates a functional skid plate and oversized Flame Red tow hooks.

Premium, darkened LED taillamps with integrated Blind-spot Monitoring are positioned alongside a large R-A-M badge and the first SRT badge on a TRX tailgate. The new TRX tailgate logo features a distinctive depiction of the apex predator that inspired the truck's name.

Availability and Positioning

The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX will arrive in showrooms during the second half of 2026. Pricing will be announced closer to the launch date. Ram has confirmed that the TRX will offer more horsepower per dollar than any other premium off-road full-size pickup.

The TRX anchors Ram's expanded off-road lineup, which now includes:

• Ram 1500 Warlock (trail-ready confidence at an aggressive price point)
• Ram 1500 Rebel (enhanced creature comforts without sacrificing capability)
• Ram 1500 RHO (540 horsepower from the Hurricane twin-turbo engine)
• Ram 2500 Warlock and Rebel HD (workhorse versions for heavy-duty applications)
• Ram Power Wagon (most off-road-capable pickup on the market)

The SRT Performance Division Returns

The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX marks the first time a Ram pickup has worn the SRT badge since the legendary Ram SRT10 in 2006. The Street and Racing Technology (SRT) performance division consolidates the best performance engineering talent from across the four American brands, delivering vehicles with power, precision, and passion.

Tim Kuniskis, head of American brands and SRT Performance, emphasized the significance of the TRX's return: "Ram set the bar five years ago with 702 horsepower, and that benchmark has been challenged. SRT doesn't limbo; we high jump and 721 wasn't going to cut it. 777 horsepower? That's the mark."
