RAM Claims THE POWER HAS SHIFTED With Their All-New Raptor Challenger TRX. But Will It REALLY Make Dent Against The Leader?

The all-new 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is the apex predator of the truck world and cements Ram Truck as North America’s off-road truck leader. Ram TRX expands the light-duty lineup and sets new benchmarks for power and performance among half-ton pickup trucks with the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI® V-8 engine.

Rated at 702 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque, the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine powers the Ram TRX to a top speed of 118 mph. Combined with a high-torque-capacity TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, the Ram TRX delivers a new level of performance: 0-60 miles per hour (mph) in 4.5 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds at 108 mph.

RAM is making lots of claims and the truck DOES look impressive (I'm a truck guy and at first glance I like the look/specs) but will the TRX really make a dent on the Raptor? Especially, because we know the next model will equal or beat these specs?

Also, we included the full launch video with specs if you missed it.

Spies, discuss
