2024 Ram 1500 TRX
Starting at $98.335

Highs: Extremely freakin' quick, serious off-road chops, a warm and luxe interior.
Lows: A thirsty date, an automotive gigantosaurus, no rear-wheel-drive mode.
Verdict: The endangered species list of vehicles with suboptimal fuel economy gets a little shorter as the TRX goes extinct.

Overview
A beast-like snarl snorts beyond the crest of a muddy ORV trail, but this is no ordinary wild animal or hog, it's the furiously quick 702-hp Ram 1500 TRX. Under the hood, a powerful supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 sucks up fuel as if it were drinking from a garden hose. An eight-speed automatic transmission handles gear shifts and the truck's four-wheel drive system carries this enormous off-road animal in even the most treacherous places. The TRX only has two predators to look out for: the 700-hp Ford F-150 Raptor R and the quickest truck we've ever tested, the all-electric Rivian R1T. Unfortunately, time has run out for the mighty TRX, as Ram announced 2024 as its final year. But that didn't stop us from including it on our 2024 10Best Trucks and SUVs list. Although this year marks the end of the TRX, a twin-turbo V-6-powered replacement, dubbed the RHO, will eventually launch as a 2025 model year pickup.

What's New for 2024?
The Ram 1500 TRX is all Bad News Bears for 2024, as parent company Stellantis announced it will be the final year of the 702-hp pickup. A Final Edition is offered exclusively for the 2024 model year, but only 4000 will be built. This TRX Final Edition is available in three exclusive colors: Delmonico Red, Night Edge Blue, and Harvest Sunrise. The Satin Titanium beadlock-capable wheels and bedside graphic are also exclusive. Ram adds Patina contrast stitching with "TRX" embroidery to the interior, and the words "Final Edition" appear in the gauge cluster. Other bits and pieces of the interior, such as a Satin Titanium finish and special faux-suede door panels, help make the Final Edition that much more special.

Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2024 Ram 1500 TRX starts at $98.335 and goes up to $119.620 depending on the trim and options.
TRX: $98,335
Final Edition: $119,620

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

Hiding between the TRX's bulging fenders and below its scooped hood is a supercharged Hemi 6.2-liter V-8. More popularly known as the Hellcat engine, this specific version produces 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, which is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. During our testing, the TRX shot to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds and completed the quarter-mile in 12.3 seconds at 110 mph. That makes it the quickest pickup we've ever tested. Despite its hefty curb weight and huge footprint, the Hellcat-powered Ram is surprisingly refined and easy to handle on paved roads. Still, its supercharged V-8 is ready to emit exciting sounds from its exhaust pipes. Of course, the TRX is meant to play in the mud, rocks, and sand too. Along with a reinforced steel frame, it boasts a beefed-up suspension built to bend and bound with more than 13 inches of travel. It rolls on a set of massive 35-inch all-terrain tires mounted on 18-inch wheels that contribute to the truck's 11.8 inches of ground clearance. Ram says the half-ton Hellcat can also ford up to 32 inches of water. Every TRX comes with enough underbody plating to protect a Brink's truck, Bilstein remote-reservoir dampers, an electronic-locking rear differential, and gigantic 15.0-inch front brakes. What's more?

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Ram has redefined expectations for truck interiors with its latest half-ton pickups, which deliver rich-looking materials and impeccable insulation from outside noise. That level of luxury and refinement looks to continue on the TRX, which is offered solely as a crew cab with the short cargo bed.
