While these stats are impressive for any performance truck, the 2021 RAM 1500 TRX is built to play off-road in the mud, rocks, and sand. To achieve uncompromised performance and capability, RAM engineers took the bulletproof powertrain from the popular SRT vehicles and adapted it to be a 4WD off-road capable system. This hardened powertrain allows the RAM 1500 TRX to reach previously unsurpassable speeds and conquer impossible off-road terrain.
