The Ram TRX brags a ground leeway 11.8 crawls due to a limited extent to a 2-inch ride stature increment when contrasted and the remainder of the 1500 setup, alongside 35-inch tires. This blend empowers TRX to address surface issues effectively and at high speeds.
To secure basic parts, including the front pivot, move case, transmission skillet and fuel tank, TRX utilizes five pallet plates. A different pallet plate sits at the base of the front sash, relieving expected harm, and serves as a midsection dish. Weighty measure steel rock sliders are additionally an accessible alternative.
The utilization of lightweight, high-quality aluminum terminations, including the hood and back end, diminishes weight and lift efficiency. Smash TRX additionally utilizes aluminum motor mounts, front pivot place area, front suspension and transmission cross-individuals, front upper and lower control arms, front pallet plate, transmission slip plate and guiding framework gear.
Front suspension
An all-new free front suspension framework with dynamic damping utilizes high-quality aluminum to keep up generally quality and solidness. The all-new free front suspension framework incorporates new upper and lower control arms made of produced aluminum with unique consideration paid to the case and camber edges during suspension cycling. This new suspension framework highlights overhauled segments to give more execution and improved perseverance. The front half shafts include another ball spline configuration to convey smooth activity and high quality over outrageous suspension travel. In general, front-wheel make a trip is expanded to in excess of 13 crawls from the standard 9 inches, in excess of 40% when contrasted with the remainder of the Ram 1500 setup.
New 2.5-inch Bilstein versatile execution stuns use accuracy machined, single-piece development contained unbending aluminum to decrease and disperse heat and to constantly modify damping powers for ideal body control and territory segregation. The exhibition stuns highlight strong erosion insurance with a tough completion and directional-machined cooling blades lined up with wind current for more successful cooling.
The Bilstein versatile execution stuns have been tuned to exhibit ideal harmony between on-street taking care of and class-driving, rough terrain capacity. Ride comfort, body move control and taking care of are altogether improved with new stun tuning, hard focuses and body-mount system.
Double Electronic Proportional Valves consistently change damping powers for exact, free control of pressure and bounce back damping. A nitrogen-charged far off store utilizes a hot shaped, zero break tube conclusion to guarantee greatest solidness during extraordinary on-and rough terrain occasions.
A weight enacted Triple Rod seal has been field tried for enduring solidness against defilement and breaks. Smash TRX utilizes treated steel plaited high-constrain hose to battle consumption and scraped area while having the option to oppose up to 5,800 PSI. A 7/8-inch callous steel cylinder pole includes top tier solidifying profundity and chrome thickness for predominant unwavering quality and strength that joins quick response time, superb damping and improved warmth scattering for navigating brutal landscape at speeds more prominent than 100 mph. A high-quality stone shield guards the cylinder bar against approaching rubble with a specially formed departure way for trash.
Slam TRX's Bilstein front versatile execution stuns utilize three vibration sensors and travel sensors at all four wheels for greatest identification and control. These sensors likewise work to limit the compromise of on-versus rough terrain comfort. Distinctive suspension modes permit various measures of pitch, roll and hurl control.
Notwithstanding a standard urethane jerk guard, the internals of the Bilstein versatile execution stun include a Jounce Cut Off to make three zones for reformist hit rock bottom control during extraordinary pressure occasions. All modes are equipped for arriving at top pressure damping for the most outrageous occasions.
Back suspension
Out back, the Ram TRX's back suspension needed to clear bundling hindrances and the designing group mulled over that with this novel application. The outcome is an inventive and strong arrangement that produces more noteworthy wheel travel without decreasing load territory in the bed.
The 2021 Ram TRX utilizes an all-new back suspension framework with dynamic damping and a selective five-connect loop framework for inconceivable ride qualities and strength. The edge's hard focuses for the five-interface suspension framework vary when contrasted with a standard-issue Ram 1500 and permit the Dana 60 back hub to go up to 13 inches. Generally speaking, back wheel make a trip is expanded to in excess of 13 crawls from the standard 9 inches, an expansion of in excess of 40% when contrasted with the remainder of the Ram 1500 arrangement.
New 2.5-inch Bilstein execution stuns take into account expanded wheel travel while lessening and dispersing heat. The new Bilstein execution stuns include Dual Electronic Proportional Valves that consistently change damping powers for ideal body control and territory segregation. Like the front stuns, the backs likewise utilize a nitrogen-charged distant repository, tempered steel twisted high-pressure hose, and a 7/8-inch unfeeling steel cylinder bar for improved dependability and toughness. The entirety of this joined accomplishes a quick response time, unsurpassable damping and improved warmth dissemination for navigating cruel landscape at speeds more noteworthy than 100 mph. A high-quality broadened rock shield safeguards the cylinder pole against inbound garbage.
The 2021 Ram TRX utilizes the demonstrated five-connect curl suspension arrangement and gives preferred verbalization over deterrents over a leaf spring framework. The vigorous curl springs are more than capable of taking care of a most extreme payload of 1,310 pounds and towing capacity of 8,100 pounds.The five-link coil design incorporates support at all major points of force and functionally resists unwanted axle rotation. More robust link bushings increase durability while continuing to deliver the most comfortable ride and handling in a full-size pickup truck. The unique five-link axle control and natural rotation enable the U-joints in the driveshaft to run smoothly and with less vibration through the suspension's range of motion. Additionally, links are engineered in-line with the frame rails, so overall packaging is better while weight is reduced.
The standard rear coils are swapped out for performance springs located in the factory-set positions. The upper links are 55-by-38 millimeters, the lower links are 84-by-38 millimeters and use high-strength steel drawn over mandrel that is 4 millimeters thick. The Panhard bar is constructed from SAE 1541 forged steel for increased strength and the four upper and lower links use a heavy-duty rubber bushing at both the frame mount and axle to improve movement while maintaining the isolation from road noise and vibration. The link placement carefully rotates the axle during full cycle without overextending the U-joints or slip joint of the driveshaft.
Rear axle
The 2021 Ram TRX is a high-performance pickup truck built to handle the most punishing conditions with extreme capability and durability. In order to clear the elevated benchmarks and performance figures that TRX presents, a Dana 60 rear axle with full-floating axle shafts is standard equipment and handles the increased torque output, rear electronic locking differential and 35-inch tires. The Dana 60 rear axle uses an axle-hop damper that enables improved traction and axle control on rough surfaces. A new rear axle center section provides balanced performance and a locking differential for increased performance off-road. New tube assemblies support the added track width, increased loading and suspension changes. New rear axle shafts support the track increase and increased loading. A new rear prop shaft features a slip-between-centers design for increased travel and strength.
Transfer case
The Ram TRX is equipped with a BorgWarner 48-13 full-time active transfer case that enables TRX to go through any off-road obstruction or weather condition. This modified transfer case features upgraded internals for improved strength and durability courtesy of extra clutch plates, a heavier-duty clutch apply bearing, six-pinion planetary low-range gear and a 20 percent wider, more robust chain. Other improvements include a new main shaft, new longer rear case half shaft to accommodate component changes and a rear output flange that replaces the slip yoke. There are six different drive modes - Auto, Sport, Snow, Tow, Mud and Baja - that employ a unique calibration. All modes use active slip control that prevents binding and excessive slip from front to rear. Ram TRX features a low range of 2.64:1 for rock crawling and has the ability to be flat-towed while in neutral. TRX's off-road prowess is bolstered by a rear electronic locking differential.
Selec-Speed Control
Selec-Speed Control is standard with the eight-speed automatic transmission and manages vehicle speed in "4LO" while traversing off-road terrain without requiring throttle or brake input, allowing the driver to focus on steering. Selec-Speed Control is activated using a button on the dashboard and can be adjusted from 0.6-5 mph simply by using the Auto Stick shift control or paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel.
Sway bar
The front sway bar is located at the factory mounting points, but uses extended and more robust links to accommodate the longer wheel travel. Although the Ram TRX sits higher than a standard Ram 1500, engineers were careful to minimize resistance at the sway bar to keep left-to-right articulation in check and to assist in keeping the tires on the ground.
Steering
The Ram TRX features a new SRT-signature flat-bottom steering wheel with enhanced hand grips, aluminum paddle shifters and electric power steering (EPS), like the rest of the Ram 1500 lineup. The use of electric power steering takes the burden off of the engine having to constantly turn the hydraulic pump. Instead, the electric power steering uses an electric motor to power the rack-and-pinion steering system. The use of electric power steering also reduces complexity by removing a pump, high-pressure hydraulic hoses and cooling apparatus. EPS allows for TRX's steering to be specifically calibrated to optimize input and effort regardless of vehicle speed. EPS is constantly sensing input from the driver or undulation in the road surface, then compensates for improved comfort. Ram TRX offers three different steering modes - Street, Sport and Rock - for different levels of effort, feedback and control.
Trailer Reverse Steering Control
Trailer Reverse Steering Control is an available standalone option and, when equipped, is located below the Uconnect 4C NAV 12-inch touchscreen. This new system, debuting on a Ram Truck model for the first time, allows the driver to enter a few measurements before the camera tracks the trailer position and the driver is backing up and guiding the trailer. The driver simply rotates the dial left or right in the direction they want the trailer to go while the system controls the steering wheel.
Tires and wheels
For the 2021 Ram TRX, engineers found that to maximize capability, it would call for a 35-inch tire. Developed exclusively for the Ram TRX, 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory All-Terrain 325/65R/18 tires, featuring an aggressive tread and sidewall with D-load rating, are assigned the task. All TRX models feature full rear wheel liners to help with road noise and to protect from gravel and sand.
There are two different wheel designs that are available on TRX, including an 18-by-9-inch optional beadlock-ready wheel straight from the factory.
Beadlock-capable wheels are a functional upgrade for vehicles that spend the majority of their time in the rocks and sand. The beadlock design provides additional tire-holding strength by pinching the outside of the tire's sidewall to the rim. Beadlock wheels allow for low-pressure use and improved off-road traction without having the tire separate from the wheel.
Like the desert trucks that were studied during conception, Ram TRX can hold a full-size spare tire with an optional dedicated rack in the bed of the truck. This available option includes the mount, wheel and tire. A full-size spare mounted under the bed, between the rear axle and tow hitch, comes standard.Brakes
Off road, the 2021 Ram TRX will race to 100 mph with ease, and the segment's largest brakes bring it to a composed halt. Ram TRX relies on a four-wheel disc brake system and a hydraulic compensation unit to enhance brake pedal feel and performance during emergency maneuvers. Up front are two-piston monoblock calipers clamping down on 15-inch inverted hat (outboard venting) rotors for improved cooling. The rear uses single piston calipers with 15-inch rotors to provide incredible stopping power. An electronic parking brake holds the truck steady when applied and is standard.
Aerodynamics
Extensive wind-tunnel testing was conducted to fine-tune TRX's exterior shape and air vent placement. Time spent in the wind tunnel paired with modern styling afforded a coefficient of drag of .489.
The body of the new 2021 Ram TRX is the product of design and engineering cooperation at its best. Delivering an extreme pickup truck required an aggressive approach from both teams to effectively route cooling through the front end. Adequate cooling is important for extreme off-road performance, towing and assuring proper airflow to the induction and supercharger.
The Ram TRX relies on a new, aluminum hood with an integrated hood scoop that is responsible for 50 percent of air entering the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine while the other 50 percent enters through the grille. The air induction system features the largest area air filter in the segment and uses two inlets to send clean, cool air into the engine. A functional air curtain just outboard of the headlamps relieves high-pressure zones at the front corners, allowing air to pass through the fenders.
The R-A-M badge on the grille is bigger when compared to the rest of the Ram 1500 lineup and features a new "flow-through" design that also assists with airflow.
The new Ram TRX's elevated hood better directs air away from the wiper area, improving overall aerodynamics and reducing wind noise. The bed-to-cab execution is sub-flush to reduce disturbance alongside the body. Ram TRX uses the Venturi roof design first seen on the latest Ram 1500 and directs air back to the rear spoiler.
Unsurpassed Powertrain Warranty - five years/60,000 miles
The 2021 Ram TRX is backed with a five-year/60,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty. The Powertrain Limited Warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to repair a covered powertrain component - engine, transmission and drive system. The warranty is also transferable, allowing customers who sell their truck during the warranty period to pass the coverage onto the new owner.
The standard three-year/36,000-mile Basic Limited Warranty provides bumper-to-bumper coverage for the Ram TRX, from the body to the electrical system.
Thousands of miles of extreme testing
The new 2021 Ram TRX has undergone thousands of miles of testing. Extreme environmental testing occurred at various sites, including in the scorching Arizona heat, the blistering cold of northern Michigan and Minnesota and thousands of feet above sea level in Colorado, for weeks at a time. In addition to all laboratory and standardized tests, the new Ram TRX scaled sand dunes, crawled rocks in Moab, Utah, and traversed two-lane tracks all over the United States.
An all-new, high-speed, desert durability test track was developed for the Ram TRX to far exceed the standard half-ton pickup truck requirements. Engineers subjected development trucks to thousands of miles of desert off-road testing to ensure that TRX has the strength, durability and reliability the extreme off-road customer expects and demands.
Powertain
The new 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is the apex predator of the truck world, cementing Ram Truck as North America's off-road truck leader. Engineered to dominate the most challenging off-road and paved-road environments, the Ram TRX sets new benchmarks for power and performance among half-ton pickup trucks with the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI® V-8 engine.
"The new 2021 Ram TRX demands an engine with specific abilities and robust power delivery to perform in the most extreme environments," said Micky Bly, Head of Global Propulsion Systems, FCA. "The proven 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine moves the Ram TRX through punishing terrain at a ferocious pace."
Rated at 702 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque, the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine powers the Ram TRX to a top speed of 118 miles per hour (mph). Combined with a high-torque-capacity TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, the Ram TRX delivers a new level of performance: 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, 0-100 mph in 10.5 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds at 108 mph.
A proven and reliable high-performance engine, the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine delivers top output for extended driving sessions without degradation in performance.
A new, innovative dual-path induction system engineered for extreme performance
The new 2021 Ram TRX is designed for class-leading, uncompromising performance in the harshest environments. Stratospheric power and performance numbers were achieved in part through a new, innovative dual-path air induction system that ensures the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine receives a steady supply of clean, cool air regardless of inbound dirt and debris.
Making sure the engine gets all the clean, cool air it needs to crank out 702 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque, the Ram TRX uses two paths to draw in outside air and routes it to a large, 29-liter air box that filters out dirt, sand, debris and water before they get anywhere near the engine.
The innovative dual-path system pulls in outside air from a functional scoop in the hood and the upper edge of the grille. Air entering the grille flows to the bottom front of the air box, guided by tailored panels. The hood scoop ducts air to the bottom rear of the air box via ports that seal to the hood when it is closed. An air box support bar is precision-mounted in the engine compartment during vehicle assembly to ensure the hood intake seals to the air box ducts to prevent engine-heated air from entering the system.
Directing incoming air to the bottom of the air box helps dirt and water settle out before the air reaches the filter elements, ensuring that the Ram TRX continues to perform in the most grueling environments. A one-way drain in the bottom of the air box evacuates water even when the vehicle is moving. Intake air is drawn upward from the box through twin, heavy-duty air filters that provide 198.4 square inches of filter surface area, four times the dust trapping capacity when compared to the closest competitor and two-and-a-half times more than the standard Ram 1500 air filter, to remove any residual dust or sand before the air is ducted to the 92-mm throttle body and into the 2.38-liter per revolution twin-screw supercharger. Unfolded, the filter surface medium covers 13.3 square feet.
The entire Ram TRX intake system is engineered to minimize power-robbing air restrictions while ensuring only clean, cool air reaches the engine.
Industry-standard testing shows that the Ram TRX far exceeds any competitor in the amount of time it can ingest dirty air and debris before performance is diminished. The Ram TRX's air box is mounted at the top of the engine, making it easy to access should the owner choose to field-clean the high-performance filter elements.
The supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 is tailored to the Ram TRX with a rear-sump oil pan that contains a system of baffles to help manage oil flow and supply during extreme off-road driving maneuvers. L-shaped scrapers attached to the crankshaft help move oil, which leaves the crankshaft at up to 200 mph, from the crankcase back to the oil sump.
The 2021 Ram TRX is fitted with free-flowing cast stainless steel exhaust manifolds that feed into low-restriction five-inch Black Chrome dual exhaust tips. This new dual exhaust system with an electric-activated valve design provides an exhilarating and unmistakable sound during wide-open throttle acceleration.
With a high-mounted alternator, the new 2021 Ram TRX can traverse up to 32 inches of water.
Bold, boosted power
From modern muscle cars to high-performance SUVs, the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 has earned a reputation as a potent, reliable power source that delivers head-turning power when ordered by the driver's right foot and is also a smooth, efficient power plant at cruising speeds.
The focus of the engine is the supercharger with close-set twin-screw rotors and a pair of charge air coolers integrated in the housing. A separate, dedicated cooling circuit for the charge air coolers includes a pump, coolant reservoir and heat exchanger. At wide open throttle, the charge air coolers reject 40 kilowatts of heat from the compressed air - equivalent to the output of 26 home space heaters.
An integrated electronic bypass valve regulates boost pressure to a maximum of 11.6 PSI (80 kPa). The supercharger uses a drive ratio of 2.36:1 and has a maximum speed of 14,600 rpm. It is sealed for life with a premium synthetic oil specifically tailored to protect the rotor timing gears and bearings.
Other key components of the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 include:

TorqueFlite delivers crisp, quick gear changes
The 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 in the Ram TRX is paired to a robust TorqueFlite 8HP95 eight-speed automatic transmission. This versatile, well-developed, high-torque-capacity eight-speed transmission delivers quick acceleration and precise, crisp, quick gear changes, enhancing ride quality to luxury car levels with consistent performance and drivability.
To best match gear selection and shift points to the driver's demands, the transmission software monitors inputs, such as engine torque gradients, throttle kick-down, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, detection of friction, downshifts and road grade.
Launch Control is standard with the 2021 Ram TRX. Launch Control manages tire slip while launching the vehicle to give the driver consistent straight-line acceleration. Wheel speed sensors watch for driveline-damaging wheel hop at launch and, in milliseconds, provide inputs to the powertrain control module to modify the engine torque to regain full grip.
The Ram TRX is also equipped with Jump Detection, which uses wheel speed and ride height sensors and accelerometers at each corner to identify when the vehicle is airborne and acts to prevent driveline-damaging power spikes. Acting in milliseconds, Jump Detection modifies engine speed and torque, gear selection, transfer case torque split, damping rates and other powertrain and suspension components through the landing to deliver optimum performance.
Dynamic Drive Modes
The 2021 Ram TRX uses performance-tuned software to pre-configure and distinguish five dynamic modes - Auto, Sport, Tow, Snow and Custom - enabling drivers to choose a vehicle setting that ideally meets their requirements and ambient conditions. The drive modes separately control the four-wheel-drive system, throttle response, transmission, paddle shifters, suspension and the electric power steering.
Dynamic on-road drive mode configurations include:
Auto - Automatically adapts to any condition; uses 40/60 front/rear torque split
Sport - Transmission shift times are reduced by 50 percent versus Auto mode; stability control, four-wheel-drive system and steering systems are set for typical enthusiast driving style; paddle shifters are enabled and suspension is tightened up without increasing impact harshness to deliver increased vehicle performance capability over Auto mode; uses 30/70 torque split
