DETROIT - South African bakkie fans just got another piece of forbidden fruit dangled in front of them, with the US launch of the first-ever Ram 1500 TRX.
The TRX’s 6.2-litre supercharged Hemi V8 is rated at 523kW and 881Nm, which Ram says is enough to launch it from 0-96km/h in 4.5 seconds, and on to 160km/h in 10.5s, making it the world’s fastest series-production pick-up truck. Even the quarter mile time is astounding at 12.9 seconds. The chassis, of course, was also purpose designed for high-speed off-roading, which is why the TRX has 40 percent more wheel travel than the regular Ram 1500 that it’s based on. Other highlights include Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive performance shocks, five-link coil rear suspension, a Dana 60 solid rear axle and an electronic locking differential.
Power goes to all four wheels through an eight speed automatic gearbox with a full-time active transfer case featuring TRX-specific internal components.
