The 2021 RAM 1500 TRX has a risk-taking, go-anywhere spirit that’s supported by strong underpinnings that are built for off-roading in BC. The truck’s new rolling chassis is exclusively made from thicker, optimally shaped, high-strength steel, which increases durability and provides better handling on all surfaces without adding extra weight.
Parts of the frame are also hydroformed, including the front rails, for dimensional accuracy, while the chassis is reinforced to handle the TRX's all-new coil spring suspension with adaptive Bilstein dampers.

Underneath the 2021 RAM 1500 TRX’s scooped hood is a Hellcat supercharged 6.2L Hemi V8, which provides BC off-road enthusiasts with 702 hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. Unsurprisingly, this is also the same highly-rated engine found in the Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcat.
Power is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission that helps the truck cover zero to 100 km/h in approximately 3.7 seconds flat. The engine is also equipped with a special air intake to provide greater filtration for off-road use, while the truck's exhaust system emits a deep, thunderous growl.
