The production run of the Ford F-150 Raptor’s only true rival and the apex predator of the pickup truck world, the Ram 1500 TRX is coming to an end. Ram Trucks has announced that the Ram 1500 TRX and its supercharged V8 is ending its run and as a proper send off, they’ve announced a Final Edition.
“The introduction of the Ram 1500 TRX ushered in a significant shift in off-road performance trucks with a halo effect that will last for years to come,” said Tim Kuniskis, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “This current chapter in Ram’s high-performance trucks is coming to a close, but it’s not the end of TRX’s story. While we’ll have more news to come at a later date, we’re proud to offer our loyal performance enthusiasts the very special TRX 6.2L Supercharged V8 – Final Edition.”
The Ram 1500 TRX features a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V8 that makes 702 horsepower and 881 Nm of torque. Mated to an 8-speed automatic, the TRX does the century sprint in less than five seconds, quarter mile in 12.9 seconds, and maxes out at 190 km/h.
The Ram 1500 TRX Final Edition is offered in eight exterior colors including three unique ones: Delmonico Red, Night Edge Blue, and Harvest Sunrise. Exclusive content includes Satin Titanium bead-lock capable wheels with a matching 6.2-liter hood badge and bed decal.
Inside, the exclusive content includes Patina stitching on the dashboard, seats, and an embroidered “TRX” seat back logo. There’s a center console badging on the passenger side and Triaxle-suede door panel inserts too. 4x4 weave matte carbon fiber on the instrument panel, doors, console and steering wheel completes the look.
Additional standard equipment includes a 19-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system, Head-Up Display, digital rearview mirror, and 8-way power driver and passenger seats. Safety features include adaptive cruise control, Lane Keep Assist, pedestrian emergency braking blind-spot and cross-path detection and ParkSense front and rear park assist with stop.
No word if any Ram 1500 TRX Final Edition units were allocated for the Philippine market.
Only a few people in the Philippines bought the RAM TRX as its very expensive (9.2 Million Pesos) and the much cheaper RAM Rebel is the one selling very well in the local market
