First Look at the 2027 RAM 1500 TRX Trim

The RAM 1500 TRX trim is back, and it’s louder, faster, and more focused than ever on the 2027 model year. The experts at Gallatin CDJR have broken down everything that makes this trim such a standout: its 777-horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine, performance upgrades from the relaunched SRT Performance Division, 4WD Auto capability, suspension hardware, interior technology, TRX badging and design updates, pricing, and how it compares to the RAM RHO and the rest of the RAM lineup. If you’re shopping for a performance truck that resets expectations for a pickup truck, you’re in the right place.

At our dealership in Gallatin, TN, the RAM 1500 TRX isn’t just another truck on the lot. It’s the ultimate pickup engineered for drivers who want extreme horsepower, confident drive traction, and the kind of presence that makes a red hood stripe feel completely justified.

The Return of the RAM 1500 TRX

Reintroduced after a brief hiatus, the 2027 RAM 1500 SRT TRX reclaims its title as the most powerful production gas pickup in the world. RAM confirmed its return in early January, with deliveries expected in the second half of 2026. The buzz started building at events where enthusiasts were eager to see how SRT engineers would respond to rising competition in the performance truck space.

The answer? More power. More control. More hardware.

The 2027 RAM 1500 SRT TRX is expected to produce 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque from its supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8. That figure pushes it well beyond typical half-ton pickup expectations and firmly into super truck territory.

This isn’t just a badge revival. It’s a reset on performance pickups.

6.2-liter Supercharged HEMI V8

At the heart of the 2027 RAM 1500 TRX trim is a 6.2-liter V8 with a twin-screw supercharger. The 2.4-liter twin-screw supercharger forces cool air into the engine through a dual-path induction system, maximizing airflow under heavy throttle scenarios.

Key Engine Specs:

• 777 horsepower
• 680 lb-ft of torque
• 0–60 mph in 3.5 seconds
• 118 mph top speed

This setup channels power through a TorqueFlite eight-speed 8HP95 automatic transmission. The transmission is calibrated for high torque loads and can skip gears under light throttle or respond instantly under wide-open acceleration. Engine management updates and strengthened drivetrain hardware ensure performance and longevity, especially when pushing the truck in off-road or high-speed conditions.

In short, this is the kind of rig that feels just as composed during a serious road test as it does blasting down a backroad outside Gallatin.

Drivetrain and 4WD Auto Capability

The 2027 RAM TRX features a BorgWarner full-time active transfer case with selectable modes:

• 4WD Auto
• 4WD High (Locked)
• 4WD Low (Locked)

Full-time four-wheel drive traction allows the TRX to adapt to road conditions automatically. Whether you’re dealing with Tennessee rain or loose gravel, drive traction remains consistent.

A 2.64:1 low-range ratio supports precise crawling maneuvers, and the reinforced rear axle – complete with electronic locking differential – keeps power planted. This is TRX duty, built to handle high-speed desert runs and technical terrain alike.

Suspension, Tires, and Maximum Suspension Travel

The TRX rides on an independent front suspension system with forged aluminum control arms and active damping. Behind the 35-inch tires are second-generation Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive shocks, engineered for heat dissipation and precise rebound control.

Off-Road Highlights:

• Up to 14 inches of maximum suspension travel
• 13 inches of front suspension travel
• Dana 60 rear axle
• Beadlock-capable wheels available

The combination of capable wheels, reinforced hardware, and suspension tuning makes the TRX more than a road truck. It’s a performance truck designed for high-speed stability and confident landings.

Exterior Design and TRX Badging

From the Flame Red R-A-M grille badge to the TRX badge on the tailgate, this truck makes its identity clear. The SRT badge returns to a RAM 1500 for the first time in nearly two decades.

Available Bloodshot Night Edition models feature:

• Blacktop upper paint scheme
• Bold red hood stripe
• Style graphics along the body
• Red-outline TRX badging
• Rear tow hooks in Flame Red

The outline TRX badging and aggressive stance highlight its wheelbase and widened track. At nearly eight inches wider overall, this pickup truck owns its space.

Interior Technology and Comfort

Step inside, and the 2027 RAM 1500 TRX trim balances aggression with refinement.

Interior Highlights:

• 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen
• 12.3-inch digital cluster
• Head-Up Display
• Heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats
• 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system

Interior technology extends to hands-free Active Drive Assist (L2+), making Ram the only truck manufacturer offering this feature on a high-performance, off-road gas pickup alongside the RAM RHO.

Carbon-fiber accents, a suede headliner, and a leather-wrapped dash reinforce that this vehicle isn’t stripped down for speed: it’s fully equipped.

RHO and TRX: What’s the Difference?

The RAM RHO and TRX both serve performance-minded buyers, but they approach it differently.

• RAM RHO: Hurricane Twin-Turbo, lighter setup, strong off-road capability
• 2027 RAM 1500 SRT TRX: Supercharged 6.2-liter V8, higher horsepower, benchmark acceleration, and the SRT performance pedigree

If the RHO is precise and athletic, the TRX catapults forward with raw force. The TRX ushers in a new era for Ram trucks by reclaiming the apex pickup title.

Availability

The 2027 RAM 1500 SRT TRX availability is expected to roll out in the second half of the model year.

Given the level of hardware, engine upgrades, drivetrain reinforcements, and interior features included as standard, the price reflects its position at the top of the RAM lineup.
