Stellantis resurrects $100,000 Ram TRX V-8 pickup truck amid industry deregulation

DETROIT — Stellantis

is resurrecting a V-8-powered Ram pickup truck called the TRX as the company faces fewer federal emissions regulations and enacts a U.S. sales turnaround plan for its brands.

The automaker said Thursday that the 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX will be available late in 2026 for around $100,000. It was first produced for the 2021-2024 model years before being canceled as the company de-emphasized V-8 engines.

The TRX is powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter “Hellcat” gas engine capable of 777 horsepower and 680 foot-pounds of torque. The automaker is calling it the “fastest and most powerful production gas pickup truck in the world,” capable of 0–60 mph in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 118 mph.

“We had to push it to the next level,” Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis said during a recent media event. “We’re super happy about this one coming back.”
