Ram’s 2027 TRX Is $26K Nonsense Over the RHO—And Totally Worth It | Review

Ram’s 2027 SRT TRX is a 777-horsepower supercharged V8 pickup that costs $99,995 before destination and $102,790 after fees, making it $26,200 more expensive than the 540-horsepower twin-turbo inline-six RHO.

Weighing nearly three tons at 6,376 pounds, the TRX is a beast that guzzles fuel at 10 MPG city, 14 MPG highway, and 12 MPG combined.

Yet, despite its impracticality, it’s a machine that demands attention—on dirt jumps, broken pavement, and highways alike.

The TRX’s styling is unapologetically over-the-top, with massive fender flares stretching over 35-inch tires, a hood that looks like heavy machinery, and a grille that screams intent.

The tailgate badge, redesigned with exaggerated dinosaur teeth, is just another layer of the truck’s deliberate absurdity.

Inside, the cabin blends luxury and performance: carbon fiber trim, heated and ventilated seats with massage functions, suede-covered surfaces, and a 14.5-inch infotainment display paired with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 10-inch head-up display.

Physical controls for climate and drive modes remain, avoiding the touchscreen overload plaguing many rivals.

The powertrain is a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 mated to an 8-speed automatic, churning out 777 horsepower and 707 lb-ft of torque.

The driving experience is a symphony of mechanical noise—the supercharger’s whine at low speeds, the V8’s deep rumble at higher revs—and a highway manners that belies its brute force.

While the RHO offers much of the TRX’s off-road capability for less, the TRX isn’t just a truck; it’s a statement. It’s a glorious relic in an era obsessed with efficiency, a dinosaur that refuses to go extinct. And for those who crave it, it’s absolutely worth every penny.
