The Rebel TRX pickup inches closer to reality, and the supercharged Hellcat V-8 is likely: /ThTqAPPVJO- Car and Driver April 28, 2019Ĭar and Driver’s spy shots showed a fairly sedate-looking Ram Rebel. The truck will also allegedly offer a trailering package, with an integrated trailer brake controller. 2017 Ram Rebel TRX Concept side | FCAĪllpar’s sources also report the power will be routed through an 8-speed automatic, linked to a strengthened four-wheel drive system. An exact number wasn’t quoted, but even 99% of 707 hp is a lot of power. The first thing confirmed was that the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 in the Ram Rebel TRX would be making at least 700 hp. The news comes courtesy of Allpar, which spoke with “several people in the automotive industry who have worked on the Ram TRX program.” The Ram Rebel TRX’s horsepower Ram Rebel TRX Concept | FCA That’s because the Ram Rebel TRX will indeed be making over 700 hp. And in a time when Roush is boosting F-150s to over 600 hp, Brabus has an 800-hp G-Wagon truck, and Hennessey has a 1000-hp Gladiator, the Ram risked being out-gunned.īut now, an inside source reports that there’s no need to rush and jam a Hellcat engine into a standard Ram 1500. In its original concept form, the Rebel TRX only made 575 hp. But would you have one of these over a Ford Raptor? Let us know in the comments below.When it was first announced that the Hellcat-engine Ram Rebel TRX would reach production, the first question on everyone’s mind was if it would get the full 707 hp. Mainly because they’ve given you a couple of hundred more horsepower on top of that. So, if you’ve been waiting out for a TRX since the concept in 2016, your dream has come true. There’s a Tesla-esque 12.0-inch portrait centre touchscreen, plush seats and paddles to play around with the ZF eight-speed automatic ‘box it comes with. Which is no bad thing, as they're the most car-y trucks on sale. Inside, a TRX is very similar to all the other Ram trucks. But only because all those numbers have been run on knobby 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory All-Terrain rubber. It'll run out of puff shortly afterwards, with the top speed being 118 mph. Equipped with a dedicated launch control button secreted in the dash, once activated, Ram claims the TRX will hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, 100 mph in 10.5, and it'll run the quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds with a 108-mph trap speed. Weirdly, Ram is very proud of having produced a pick-up truck that can not only beat up the Atacama, tow 3,600kg (8100lbs) and swallow 600kg of whatever in its bed, it can also tear up the drag strip. But because ‘Murica', Ram has also developed the truck to run on tarmac. If the mahoosive truck could fit down the lanes, that is. We’re sure it’d work in Bedfordshire too. This doesn’t mean a lot to us You-row-pee-ans, but it basically means that with one press of a button the truck is set up to smash across a slither of Mexico thanks to a special desert calibration for the four-wheel drive system, stability control, engine and transmission maps. Ram even went to the extent of moving the front axle forward to give the TRX 13-inches of suspension travel front and rear, plus a ground clearance of 11.8-inches, a near three inch growth spurt.įlattering the Raptor, there’s also a “Baja” mode. Or navel height for most people, if you need some dubious scale. There’s also a new oil pan and a new alternator, mounted higher up to increase wading depth to 32 inches. That’s why Ram engineers have fitted that monster 6.2-litre engine with a new airbox (mounted above the engine so it’s not rattled to death) fed by the grille and the hood scoop, so the motor can breathe through massive filters so it gets a clean supply even during high-speed desert running. And make no mistake about it, the TRX has been designed to run hard and bait out that blue oval. Underneath there’s new suspension, with an independent front axle and new forged aluminium control arms up front. Out back, there’s the standard Dana 60 solid axle but with a new five-link setup while Bilstein has developed chunky 2.5-inch remote-reservoir dampers all round for when you pound the sand. But to be able to not bend like a banana at Full Send, the frame and suspension have been beefed up – just like a Raptor's. The arches are a whopping eight inches wider than standard, to hold a track width increase of six inches. So what do you get? Well, it may not look like it, but it is actually a RAM 1500 underneath. Fully loaded, you can expect the TRX to be nudging $90,000. And you should hope so too – given that it starts at $71,690, nearly $14k more than a crew-cab Raptor. That’s not all though, as there are some rather comprehensive upgrades.
