The off road truck world is about to change again. RAM is bringing back its iconic 1500 SRT TRX for 2027, and UAE buyers can expect to see this powerhouse hit showrooms in late 2026. More than just an update, the new TRX is a fully reengineered monster, claiming the title of the world’s most powerful production petrol pickup. For collectors, adventurers, and anyone who wants serious performance, this is big news.
Under the hood, the 2027 RAM 1500 SRT TRX packs a 6.2 liter supercharged Hellcat V8 engine, delivering a massive 777 horsepower and 922 newton meters of torque. That is an 18 percent power boost compared to the previous model, and it gives RAM a clear edge over rivals like the Ford F 150 Raptor R. The eight speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission sends power to a full time four wheel drive setup, launching the TRX from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in just 3.6 seconds. Top speed is limited to 190 kilometers per hour, thanks to the tire speed rating. A custom induction system, stronger cooling, and a Dana 60 rear axle with electronic locking differential all play a part in making this the most powerful production pickup you can buy.
This new TRX is packed with high end features that push the segment forward. RAM’s engineers built a completely new suspension setup using Bilstein BlackHawk e2 adaptive shocks and RAM Active Terrain Dynamics management. That means the truck can adjust its damping in real time, whether you’re flying over dunes or just cruising the highway. The TRX offers 300 millimeters of ground clearance and massive 35 inch all terrain tires on 18 inch beadlock capable wheels for real off road grip. Front and rear suspension travel reach 330 millimeters and 355 millimeters, keeping things smooth on any terrain.
Inside, RAM brings luxury touches to the performance pickup game. You get Alcantara suede, carbon fiber trim, bold TRX branding, and a 19 speaker Harman Kardon sound system. The new Active Drive Assist Level 2 plus system adds semi autonomous highway driving and low speed maneuvering, a first for high performance trucks. Special editions like the Bloodshot Night Edition up the style with unique black and red paint, carbon interior, and exclusive graphics.
