If you have ever dreamed of driving a truck that feels like a sports car, then your fantasies can come true with the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX. This trim level gives motorists in Langley a perfect blend of pickup capabilities and track-ready power.
The TRX is built with a Supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 engine that can crank out to an astonishing 702 HP and 650 lb-ft of torque. That means it can zoom from 0 to 60 MPH in merely 4.5 seconds! It even sounds like a sports car, with the high-performance air induction system filters straining out dirt and debris while letting up to 32.9 litres of air through per minute.
Likewise, thanks to the twin-screw supercharger, you get to enjoy nearly instantaneous torque and a maximum engine rotation speed of 14,600 RPM. Plus, it regulates boost pressure up to 11.0 without breaking a sweat.
Even the engine block itself has been carefully engineered. It's made of a cast iron with a forged-steel crankshaft that boasts induction-hardened bearings. As a result, the entire package can effortlessly stand up to 1595 PSI, so there's nothing in BC that'll intimidate this truck.
The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX has been named MotorTrend's 2021 Truck of the Year, and it stands as proof positive that when you get all the little things right, it can add up to something big.
This newest Ram 1500 nails the details. Passengers will benefit from best-in-class legroom thanks to a cabin that’s as much as 6.6 inches (167.6 millimetres) longer than the other trucks in this segment. The reconfigurable centre console can accommodate all your gear—even up to the size of a 15-inch laptop! This same console’s Type-C USB charging ports enable you to juice up as many as five smart devices at once. And the dual-pane power sunroof, available on the Crew Cab, doubles as an air vent and can be opened/closed with the simple, singular press of a button.
The all-new Bilstein® Black Hawk® e2 shock system provided on the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is exclusive to Dodge’s line and is the most sophisticated ever offered on a production truck. (How’s that for an opening line?)
The e2 shocks on the new 1500 TRX boast Ram Active Terrain Dynamics, which continuously adapt to varied terrain. Specifically, a proprietary control algorithm monitors vehicle sensors in real-time and adapts as you drive to account for speed, braking torque, steering angle, throttle position, and more. The result is superb body control whether you’re on- or off-road.
The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is more than just a growling 702-HP “Hellcat†engine. It’s also expressly built for hitting the trails in Langley, Surrey, and throughout British Columbia.
This truck offers an 11.8-inch ground clearance to ensure it can clear obstacles and hazards on the off-roads; it also boasts a 13-inch front suspension travel and a 14-inch rear suspension travel. Further, its airbox sports a high-performance induction system that consumes 32.9 litres of air every minute and filters up to four times as much debris as the class-competing Ford Raptor.
We can’t get enough of the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX here on our Langley lot and neither can critics. After all, it’s been selected as the MotorTrend Truck of the Year—and for good reason. It has a sensational engineering block under its hood!
The cast-iron engine block powering the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX restrains a crankshaft forged of steel and complete with induction-hardened bearings. This design affords the ability for the truck to handle firing pressures of as much as 1,595 psi, which is roughly equal to 20,000 pounds of force!Â
Yes, the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX’s V8 “Hellcat†engine cranks out an astounding 702 horses. But no, that is not all that Dodge is bringing to the table for this model year—not by a long shot.
This inspired truck now comes with a new exhaust manifold, X-pipe, and deep-sump oil pan, the latter of which specifically helps with keeping the motor lubricated even at exceptional off-road angles. Even better, the Ram team has designed a new frame for the truck that’s stronger than ever. In the process, they moved the front axle forward, enabling the inclusion of incredible 35-inch Goodyear Territory All-Terrain tires. They’ve been custom-fit to help the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX own the trails!

The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX—affectionately nicknamed the “T-Rex†by the fine folks at Dodge—is an absolutely marvelous engineering achievement. This MotorTrend Truck of the Year boasts an exceptional four-wheel-drive system to handle the dustiest, roughest of trails with ease—but that’s certainly not all. It also sports an electronically locking rear differential and a 2.64:1 crawl ratio. Further, a high-torque-capacity eight-speed automatic transmission makes it a blast to take out on Surrey’s roads, as does the thrilling 0 to 60 MPH time of only 4.5 seconds.

The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX has won the MotorTrend Truck of the Year for an unprecedented third consecutive time. While that’s an immense accomplishment, when you stop to consider how this machine has been crafted, it’s a development that’s not surprising in the least.
Dodge was certainly ambitious with the new Ram 1500 TRX. They went back and radically re-made the frame of the truck itself—in fact, 74-percent of it has been modified compared to the outgoing model. As a result, it is now boxed and thicker than ever, utilizing more high-strength steel in order to create a long-lasting ride. Bent frames after an off-road jaunt are less likely than ever!
Dodge’s latest, performance-focused pickup is nearly peerless in its approach to performance, as readily evidenced by its selection as the 2021 MotorTrend Truck of the Year. Its secret sauce? Well, there are numerous attributes, but a key is its sensational 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 “Hellcat†powertrain. It produces an outright ridiculous 702 horses and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. The result? A truck that blasts off from 0 to 60 MPH in only 4.5 seconds—and makes the run through the quarter mile in approx. 13 seconds!Â
