The Swan Song of an Apex Predator.
As the sun starts to set on an era that redefined high-performance trucks, Ram introduces the grand finale with its 2024 Ram 1500 TRX 6.2L Supercharged V8 – Final Edition. Indeed, this paragon of power stands as both Ram’s ultimate creation and the mightiest pickup truck ever built. Stick around as we delve into the intricate details of this game-changing, top-tier vehicle.
Legacy and Evolution
In 2020, the Ram TRX made a grand entrance into the trucking landscape as a 2021 model, not just turning heads but making them swivel. With its 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine, the truck set an unprecedented benchmark in power, boasting a herculean 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. Ram Truck, a division that emerged in 2009, stamped its authority on the North American off-road truck scene like never before.
As Tim Kuniskis, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis, aptly put it, “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.”
The Unveiling: A Feast of Features
The Final Edition Ram TRX is nothing short of an opulent beast. Beyond its eight sumptuous exterior color options—including the debut hues of Delmonico Red, Night Edge Blue, and Harvest Sunrise—the vehicle indulges its owners with a plethora of exclusive features.
The exterior sports Satin Titanium bead-lock capable wheels, which are aesthetically synchronized with a matching 6.2-liter hood badge and bed decal. Inside, the truck offers an all-encompassing luxurious experience, from Patina stitching on the dashboard and seats to an embroidered “TRX” seatback logo. The center console badge flaunts the build number, adding an extra layer of exclusivity to the vehicle.
Unparalleled Performance
The truck is not all show and no go. In terms of performance, the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine catapults the truck to a top speed of 118 mph. When paired with its high-torque-capacity TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, the Ram TRX blasts from 0-60 mph in just 4.5 seconds, completing a quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds at 108 mph.
Safety and Convenience
Safety features have not been compromised, encompassing adaptive cruise control, Lane Keep Assist, pedestrian emergency braking, blind-spot and cross-path detection, and ParkSense front and rear park assist with stop. In addition, the interior is decked out with 4×4 weave matte carbon fiber accents and an ultra-premium 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, among other amenities.
The Last Roar: Availability and Pricing
If you’re eager to claim this pinnacle of automotive prowess and opulence, you’ll need to move swiftly. Starting at an eye-popping $117,625, plus an additional $1,995 for destination charges, the 2024 Ram 1500 TRX 6.2L Supercharged V8 – Final Edition is set to hit the market in the last quarter of 2023. Astonishingly, this price tag sets a new record, eclipsing even what all-electric trucks have managed to command thus far.
Farewell Ram 1500 TRX
As we bid adieu to the Ram 1500 TRX, its legacy as an off-road kingpin and technological marvel is well cemented. The Final Edition not only encapsulates what the TRX has always stood for—unparalleled power, off-road capabilities, and luxury—but also adds the allure of exclusivity. While this chapter might be ending, according to Tim Kuniskis, “it’s not the end of TRX’s story.” Until then, the 2024 Ram 1500 TRX 6.2L Supercharged V8 – Final Edition serves as an enduring testament to Ram’s mastery in engineering and performance.
