Get Triggered With the 2022 Ram TRX Ignition Edition

Ram appears to have built itself an apex predator of a pickup truck with the Ram 1500 TRX. This truck has already been named the MotorTrend 2021 Truck of the Year, as well as a Car and Driver 10Best and Editor’s Choice. That is because no other truck with a gasoline engine can match the Ram TRX’s speed and aggressive looks. Now, Ram is offering the 2022 model in special Ignition Edition that is sure to start any truck enthusiast’s heart racing if they glimpse it at Orange Coast CDJR, a California Ram TRX dealer located in Costa Mesa, CA. Sporting an exclusive Ignition Orange paint job, the 2022 TRX Ignition Edition has a look that was made to stand out in a crowd.

The new Ignition Edition is also one reason why the team here at Orange Coast Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat is so partial to this truck. Drivers all over Orange County will be cutting a path to our doors to get a chance at a 2022 TRX Ignition Edition before the supplies of this limited edition truck run out. You see, Ram is only manufacturing 875 Ignition Edition trucks, making this model an instant collector’s item. Unless you want to be green with envy, you better head to Orange Coast for a TRX Ignition Edition with its Ignition Orange paint job.

Hellcat on Wheels

The 2022 TRX Ignition Edition sports a 6.2-liter HEMI “Hellcat” supercharged V8 paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This is the same engine featured on the Hellcat models of the Dodge Charger and Challenger, so you know you are getting muscle car performance in a full-size pickup truck. In fact, the 2022 Ram TRX is the most powerful production pickup truck on the planet!

The engine itself is a pushrod 16-valve V-8 with an iron block and aluminum cylinder heads. It uses an intercooled supercharger to boost performance and port fuel injection to improve efficiency, making it capable of delivering 702 horsepower at 6,100 RPM and 650 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 RPM. As a result, the TRX Ignition Edition can get you from 0 to 60 miles per hour in a blazing 4.5 seconds. Imagine taking this orange beauty out on the Pacific Coast Highway, shocking all those other drivers in their coupes and sedans as you blow past them in a pickup truck!

Fast and Furious and Also a Truck!

Ram hasn’t forgotten that the TRX Ignition Edition is also a truck. That’s why it has that 5’7″ bed that can carry up to 1,310 pounds of cargo in its 53.9 cubic feet of space. Try doing that on a sports car! You’ll be lucky if you can feet a lunchbox in any vehicle that can match the TRX Ignition Edition’s performance and acceleration.

Unlike so many other off-road and performance models from other manufacturers, the 2022 TRX Ignition Edition is not a one-trick pony. In fact, it can also help you with your trailering needs. This truck has a maximum towing capacity of 8,100 pounds, so you can race your truck all weekend and then put it to work during the week.

Specialized Suspension System to Maximize Performance

Ram has given the 2022 TRX an exclusive Bilstein Black Hawk e2 shock system. These shocks are designed to work with the Ram Active Terrain Dynamics system on the TRX so you can keep your wheels grounded no matter the terrain or your speed. These shocks work with the short and coil spring suspension on the Ram TRX to give it the most sophisticated and responsive handling in the segment. This is also one of the reasons why the 2022 TRX Ignition Edition is ideal for off-roading.

Those of us who call Orange County home know all the great trails and wilderness just inland from the ocean. There are few things more fun than taking a truck off-road around these areas. But, you have to know your truck can handle the rigors of these trails with their boulders, dunes, and dry wash creeks. The 2022 TRX Ignition Edition can definitely handle whatever nature throws its way.

The 2022 TRX Ignition Edition is four-wheel drive standard and has 11.8 inches of ground clearance, making it easy to traverse most obstacles in your path. In addition, the rear suspension has 14 inches of travel, while the front suspension sports 13 inches of travel, so you will have peace of mind when you are out off-roading. Ram has given this model 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory All-Terrain tires that come wrapped around 18-inch machine-faced black beadlock capable aluminum wheels. These are designed to maximize off-road performance. In addition, the transmission features eight different drive modes, including several designed specifically for off-roading.

An Exterior to Ignite Your Imagination

Ram has given the 2022 TRX Ignition Edition some special exterior features to make it truly stand out from all other trucks. Aside from its brilliant Ignition Orange Paint, the TRX Ignition Edition exclusive bedside graphics to go along with the machine-faced black wheels and the aggressive grille with RAM spelled out in block letters. It also sports a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, which is a great way to let the outdoors into your cab, whether you are off-roading in Red Rock Canyon or cruising on the Pacific Coast Highway.

The bed on the TRX Ignition Edition features a spray-in bedliner to keep things clean. There are multiple adjustable cargo tie-down hooks that will come in handy when you are hauling cargo. Also, the deployable bed-step makes loading and unloading your TRX Ignition Edition easier than ever.

An Interior to Start Dreaming About

The designers at Ram have decided to use carbon fiber materials for the cabin trim of the TRX. The front and rear seats are ventilated for greater comfort, and the steering wheel is wrapped in leather and microsuede material for better grip. The entire interior features Copperhead Orange stitching and carbon fiber inserts as an accent, tying the TRX Ignition Edition’s looks together by carrying the Ignition Orange exterior into the truck’s interior. There are even orange Ram logos on the all-weather floor mats inside the truck. Ram finishes the interior off with an orange center console badge that lists the truck’s production number, making clear that this is a special edition model.

There is up to 132 cubic feet of space in the Ram TRX Ignition Edition’s standard crew cab. This will give you and four other passengers plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the ride. That’s over 40 inches of legroom for you and whoever is riding shotgun, and a luxurious 45 inches of legroom for your other friends or family members.

The 2022 Ram TRX Ignition Edition features the all-new Uconnect 5C NAV infotainment system on a 12-inch color touchscreen. This will allow you to stay connected using Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Ram has given this system a customizable home screen with several personalization options for up to five user profiles, which allows you to make the Uconnect 5C NAV truly your own system. Uconnect 5C NAV will also help get you wherever you are going with its own onboard turn-by-turn navigation system.
