Would You Drive This? 2021 Ram TRX

700+ horsepower V8 and a suspension that can take hard landings.....

If you are a complete tool and need a highly unreliable, very overpriced off road truck that will never leave the pavement.....your options are the Ford Raptor or the Ram TRX. And the Ram TRX appears to be superior in every way.

This thing makes the Ford Raptor look like a cheap kid's toy by completely overpowering it and offering a superior design.

The battle for the best high-performance pickup truck just got interesting now that the 702-horsepower Ram 1500 TRX has entered the arena. The Hellcat-powered half-ton has the Ford F-150 Raptor squarely in its sights, but until its Blue Oval rival adds more power and steps up its interior game, the Ram might rule. Rivalry aside, the TRX is an impressive and intimidating machine. Its body is 8 inches wider than the regular Ram 1500, and its off-road capabilities have been transformed. This is thanks to a stronger frame, an even more sophisticated suspension, and myriad other enhanced characteristics. The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is also loaded with a seriously luxurious interior and packed with all the latest technology. The only question left is whether the TRX can fly higher over the jumps than the now seemingly obsolete Raptor.

Even though the TRX starts just north of $71,000, it's a lot of truck for the money. No other stock pickup truck makes 700-plus horsepower and looks as aggressive as Mike Tyson in his prime. While the base version is certainly well-equipped, it lacks some features that we'd expect to be standard. For example, a heated steering wheel and heated front seats cost extra, and they're otherwise only available with the Level 1 package. That pushes its price past $75k but brings a smorgasbord of upgrades. Highlights include leather-trimmed seats, cargo-box lighting, a flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in leather and microsuede, a storage compartment under the rear seat, and more. We'd select that option as well as the Trailer-Tow package to maximize the pickup's pulling abilities. Those who want adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, a head-up display, or the digital rearview mirror are handcuffed to the loaded Level 2 package that puts the TRX close to the $80,000 mark.
