Hell[cat] on Wheels: The Incredible 2021 TRX

A gray 2021 Ram TRX is driving through sand dunes kicking up dust after leaving a Ram TRX dealer.

Are you ready to go big or go home? As your Ram TRX dealer, the team here at Orange Coast is ready to help you go big in the all-new 2021 TRX. What makes the TRX so special? The features are almost too many to list. Designed to lead the pack and never look back, the 2021 TRX has the heart of a legend thanks to its jaw-dropping supercharged V8 Hellcat engine that delivers 702 horsepower. But that’s not the TRX’s only noteworthy feature. Here’s a list of just some of the many reasons why you’ll love going big in the 2021 TRX!

#1 Hell[cat] on Wheels

It only seems fitting to start our list with the heart of the TRX – the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 engine. The Hellcat engine makes the TRX the most powerful production half-ton truck ever built by delivering 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. These best-of-class ratings are only the beginning of the TRX’s capability as it launches from 0 to 60 mph in an astonishing 4.5 seconds.

#2 Launch Control Activated

Did someone say launch? The TRX’s launch from 0 to 60 mph is made possible through Launch Control with Launch Assist. This marks the first time the feature has ever been offered on a Ram truck, and it doesn’t disappoint. When activated, Launch Control regulates the engine’s RPM and monitors the wheel slippage to ensure the truck accelerates at the fastest rate possible. This gives an entirely new meaning to “Drivers, start your engines!”

#3 Data at Your Fingertips

To ensure the TRX performs at its optimum, Ram gives drivers a fully customizable dashboard that delivers instant data like personal records, reaction time, timer data, and much more. This tool works hand-in-hand with the Vehicle Dynamics infotainment page that allows drivers to adjust aspects of the vehicle’s performance to provide optimal handling for various driving conditions and performance needs.

#4 Custom Drive Modes

Designed to tackle any terrain from city streets and busy highways to rocky trails off the beaten path, the TRX is equipped with eight drive modes that give drivers the opportunity to customize how the TRX performs in various conditions. For example, the Sport Mode tightens the suspension with a 30/70 torque split to give the TRX more stability on paved roads, while the Snow Mode uses a more balanced 45/55 split and manages the engine’s horsepower to ensure the TRX can safely accelerate in snowy or icy conditions. Drivers can even create a Custom Mode to tailor their experience behind the wheel.

#5 Venture Off-Road

With the Ram TRX offering various drive modes like Mud/Sand, Rock, and Baja, it’s easy to guess that the truck is designed to venture off-road – a guess that will be confirmed the instant you see the massive all-terrain tires. The truck is more than capable with an 11.8-in ground clearance complimented by 13 inches of travel in the front suspension and 14 inches in the rear. This beast even features the all-new Bilstein Black Hawk e2 shock system, which is the first of its kind and is designed to continuously adapt to the terrain to ensure a smooth ride in any condition.

#6 It Looks Intimidating

The TRX isn’t your average truck by any means, from its Launch Mode to its distinct exterior that makes it one of the most intimidating trucks on the road. Sitting 8 inches wider than the standard Ram 1500 atop 35-inch tires, the TRX boasts a menacing front grille that serves a twofold purpose – to intimidate and promote airflow to the engine. The LED headlamps flank the grille, and the wide fenders are flared to provide optimal aerodynamics around the TRX.

#7 Plenty of Accessories

As if the TRX isn’t intimidating enough, Ram gives drivers plenty of options to accessorize the legendary beast. As your local Ram TRX dealer, we offer a variety of Mopar accessories that will take the TRX to an entirely new level of capability. These accessories range from a RamBar to a spare tire carrier mounted in the bed for added convenience. With Mopar and the TRX, the options are endless!

#8 Plenty of Tech

With the exterior ensuring the TRX is capable of any adventure, the interior ensures the driver and passengers stay connected wherever the road takes them. This technology begins with the 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system that drivers can divide into separate menus to access multiple apps at once. This means, for example, that drivers can use the navigation feature while also listening to music through SiriusXM satellite radio.

The TRX also offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, which enables drivers to sync their smartphones to the truck to access their music, messages, calls, and more at the touch of a button. This lets drivers stay connected while keeping their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road. And, speaking of keeping their eyes on the road, drivers can easily do that with the TRX’s customizable head-up display that shows vital information like speed, incoming calls, navigation directions, mileage, and more on the windshield.

#9 Launch Edition

You know a truck is special when there’s a waiting list to buy it. Well, the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX Launch Edition sold out in just three hours after its debut. The exclusive truck was an instant hit thanks to its distinctive Anvil exterior paint color and customized badging. The Launch Edition also included premium features like Beadlock-capable wheels, TRX exclusive graphics, carbon fiber accents, and TRX exclusive red interior accents that truly set the Launch Edition apart from the standard model.

#10 High Praise

If the other nine reasons haven’t convinced you that this Ram truck is one of the most legendary ever built, then perhaps its many awards will do the trick. The TRX was named MotorTrend Truck of the Year in 2021, which marks the third consecutive year that Ram took home the award. The TRX also caught the attention of the Texas Auto Writers Association, who named it the best Full-Size Pickup and best Off-Road Pickup in their annual Texas Truck Rodeo.

Bonus! #11 Warranty

Another reason you’ll love the 2021 TRX is its warranty and maintenance coverage that give drivers added peace of mind and confidence in their purchase. Ram offers a limited warranty that covers three years or 36,000 miles. The TRX also comes with a powertrain warranty that covers five years or 60,000 miles. You can always count on Ram to stand behind its high-quality products.
