The Ram 1500 TRX is expected to go on sale this year — starting at $71,690 — as a new halo vehicle for the brand in an attempt to greater differentiate it from Chevrolet and Ford, the industry's truck leaders by sales.

during the coronavirus pandemic, sales of the Ram 1500 were down 17.8% through the first half of the year as the health crisis caused many dealerships to shutter and consumers to stay in their homes.

The Ram 1500 TRX is the fourth vehicle to include the automaker's Hellcat engine. The first were the Dodge Challenger and Charger muscle cars, followed by a performance variant of the Jeep Grand Cherokee called the Trackhawk.The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is squarely aimed at the Ford Raptor, a highly regarded performance version of the F-150 pickup. The Ford truck features a 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo engine rated at 450 horsepower and 510 foot-pounds of torque.

Koval repeatedly referred to the Ram 1500 TRX as the "apex predator" of the truck market, taking a shot at Ford's Raptor."To put that into Jurassic vernacular, the T. rex destroys raptors and it's just what you'd expect from a company committed to being America's off-road truck leader," he said. Ryan Nagode, chief interior designer for Ram, said the "mission of the truck was creating a halo product for this brand. Something that would really be the top dog in our trim lineup."

He described the interior as combining the ruggedness of an off-road pickup with the performance styling of a muscle car.

SBDesignMedia And Ford follow with a new 725 hp Raptor 😭😭😭

Will it come with a rusted out truck bed and a bad transmission too?

Whew 😅 that Mutha Fucca is Cold 🥶 I’mma let the Hood Know we gonna Need that to outrun the Police 🚔 BLM BlackLivesMatter

Does it have an 8' bed? Then no thanks. I'm done with toy trucks.

finally a truck w/a shifter in the center console. Still waitin on Toyota to get it's act 2gther on new TUNDRA & hopefully not screw it up [i.e. a face lift, new perf specs, glass roof, more truck 4 $] IF not, this 1may n2take a look-tho GMC Hummer look'n like Tesla killer!

The only thing remotely redeeming is the big V8. Otherwise, get ready for the usual transmissions blowing out 70k, blown headgaskets, and random cheap parts falling apart way before their time. Expect to baby this thing, and not actually use it for real as a truck.

Ram TRX: 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. Cybertruck: 0-60 in 2.9 seconds.

I'm afraid I don't need to compensate for a small penis because I'm doing just fine down there. I would like to mention that the Fiat 500 gets 40 mph and is a better option for those on a budget.

Really very contemporary 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sustainability?

If you want success, don't put the word Fiat.

How much the price?

After taxes, license, fees, financing you're paying $90k minimum for a...... 'RAM' truck. Whoever buys this vehicle has more money than sense.
