Ram 1500 TRX

If you’re looking for a truck with supercharged power and a luxurious interior, look no further. The Ram 1500 TRX has a supercharged 6.2L Hemi V8 engine, capable of up to 702 hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. It goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, making it the quickest, fastest, and the most powerful pickup truck in the world.[1] This is thanks to the twin-screw supercharger, which gives the TRX near-instantaneous torque.

Off-Roading Potential

The TRX isn’t only powerful on the road. The 35 inch tires, reinforced steel frame Bilstein Block Hawk e² system, electronic-locking rear differential, and 15 inch brakes work together to make the Ram TRX the perfect off-roading vehicle. It gets 11.8 inches of ground clearance, 13 inches of front suspension travel, and 14 inches of rear suspension travel – helping you to navigate any type of terrain. If you love going off-roading in the Kentucky countryside, the TRX is the truck for you.

Menacing Exterior

The exterior of the TRX has an extra eight inches of exterior width from the normal Ram 1500 and 35 inch tires, giving it a powerful stance on the road. The hood scoop features LED amber identification lamps, a custom look that sets you apart on Lexington streets. The RAM badge on the grille is a multi-functional feature. Not only does it look menacing on the road, but it also helps to provide up to 32.9 liters of air to the engine every minute.

Luxurious Interior Features

The top-of-the-line features don’t stop there. In the interior, there are luxurious features everywhere you look. The available performance-focused materials, including refined leather, brushed metal, and Alcantara suede, give the truck a luxurious and sporty look. It also has a sporty flat-bottom steering wheel, which boasts integrated aluminum shift paddles and available carbon fiber and Alcantara suede accents.

The new high-definition 12.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system has a suite of performance and off-road pages, a completely customizable home screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, built-in navigation, and Sirius XM radio. If you love listening to your music through top-tier speakers, you have the option to upgrade to the 900-watt, 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.

New Sandblast Edition

New for 2022 is the Ram 1500 TRX Sandblast Edition, which offers an exclusive exterior color: the Mojave Sand clear coat, complemented by the black grille and front fascia. It has light frost interior accents on the interior and exterior, plus bold 18 inch black bead lock capable aluminum wheels.

Ram 1500 Classic

When Ram redesigned its 1500 in 2019, it kept the previous generation in the lineup, renaming it the Ram 1500 Classic. The Classic model is comfortable, safe, and has impressive horsepower – all for a budget-friendly price tag.

Powerful Performance

The 1500 Classic comes with a choice between two engines. The first is a 5.7L Hemi V8 engine, which gets 395 hp, 410 lb.-ft. of torque, and a maximum payload of 1,810 lbs. You can easily tow your boat to a nearby Kentucky lake, with the 10,620 lb. maximum towing capacity.

If you want a smooth ride, the five-link coil spring rear suspension helps to deliver a smooth ride, without you having to sacrifice the towing capacity you need. The tonneau cover helps to move air over the truck, helping fight against drag.

Classic Exterior with Modern Upgrades

The exterior of the Ram 1500 Classic is functional and stylish. Access to the truck bed is made easy, with available wheel-to-wheel side steps and locking/unlocking with the push of a button. Your bed will be protected from whatever cargo you need to carry thanks to the available under-rail bedliner and tonneau cover.

Comfortable Interior

The Ram 1500 Classic comes with a Uconnect 4C infotainment system, with an 8.4 inch touchscreen and an available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay.
