Fox News Autos test drive: 2021 Ram 1500 TRX
The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is the most powerful pickup ever made, but it's not all about speed. The high performance off-roader is a well-rounded monster truck, says Fox News Autos Editor Gary Gastelu.
It's a monster price for a monster truck.

The starting price for the Ram 1500 TRX for 2022 is $78,675 including destination fees, a $6,555 increase over last year.
The full-size truck is powered by a 702 hp supercharged V8 that makes it the most-powerful pickup in the world with an internal combustion engine.
Only the Rivian R1T electric pickup with its 835 hp four-motor drivetrain is more potent.
The off-road TRX more directly matches up against the Ford F-150 Raptor, which comes with a 450 hp turbocharged V6 at $70,370.

Good luck finding either of them at list price, however, as many dealers have been listing the limited-availability trucks with markups of tens of thousands of dollars.

And things could get even wilder soon as Ford will be introducing a more powerful F-150 Raptor R later this year that could compete more closely with the TRX.
