8.2 / 10The RAM 1500 TRX was a one-of-a-kind beast — a full-size crew-cab pickup with a Hellcat-derived 702 hp supercharged V8 that could sprint to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds while handling serious off-road terrain. In the UAE it sat at the pinnacle of the pickup segment before being discontinued in favour of the turbocharged RHO. For buyers seeking the ultimate American performance truck experience with V8 theatre and genuine off-road ability, used TRX examples remain highly sought after.
