Boasting a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 engine underneath the hood, the new 2021 Ram 1500 TRX has been named Motor Trend’s Truck of the Year. Based on its superior capabilities and extreme performance, this pickup tops the charts.
Â
Delivering a staggering 702 hp (best-in-class) and 650 lb-ft of torque, it can do just about anything. That includes accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in only 4.5 seconds. No other pickup can say that!
Â
This impeccable output is not only due to the giant motor. It also can be attributed to other elements including the exhaust system and practical exterior features. Featuring two resonance-free pipes, the matte black exhaust tips produce a bone-chilling growl that will have heads turning everywhere you go. Meanwhile, the air induction mechanism consumes 32.9-litres of oxygen per minute. Simultaneously, it also filters out four times more dirt, debris, and water than other units on competition models.

Next, widened fender flares and box-outers accommodate a stronger stance being 8-inches larger across. Finally, heat extractors, vents, the functional hood scoop, and other cooling components assist with enhanced airflow into the engine bay and prevent overheating.
