Overview
- Ram has opened orders for the 2027 TRX SRT, listing the supercharged truck at $102,790 and making it the first of the two 777‑hp models available to buyers.
- Both the TRX and the forthcoming 2027 1500 SRT Rumble Bee Hellcat share the same supercharged 6.2‑liter Hemi V8 rated at 777 horsepower and 680 lb‑ft mated to an eight‑speed automatic and four‑wheel drive.
- Ram differentiates the two by purpose: the TRX is built for off‑road use with higher ground clearance, all‑terrain tires, a locking rear differential and Bilstein adaptive dampers, while the Rumble Bee is shortened, lowered and fitted with stiffer suspension, a limited‑slip rear differential, larger Brembo front brakes and 22‑inch performance tires for on‑road speed.
- Export and regulatory limits could constrain where the Hellcat trucks appear because high emissions increase compliance costs and could trigger fines under regimes such as Australia’s New Vehicle Efficiency Standard, leaving allocation and engineering approvals uncertain for some markets.
- The return of multiple V8s to Ram’s light‑duty range follows a recent reversal of a V8 pause at Stellantis and comes as factory and aftermarket players push pickup horsepower higher, a shift that could affect pricing, warranty rules and dealer allocations for buyers.
