The Ram 1500 TRX may no longer be in showrooms right now, but that hasn’t stopped it from proving why it is one of the wildest pickup trucks ever built. Even in stock form, the TRX is already fast, loud, and powerful enough to embarrass many sports cars. But once tuning experts get their hands on it, things can get absolutely crazy.

A heavily modified Ram 1500 TRX recently grabbed attention online after appearing on Road Show International’s Instagram page. At first glance, it looks bold and aggressive, but once you learn what’s hiding under the hood, it becomes clear this truck is in a whole different league.

Over 1,500 Horsepower From a Pickup Truck

According to the tuner, this Ram 1500 TRX produces an unbelievable 1,550 horsepower. That’s more power than many modern supercars, and it comes from a truck that still has four doors, a bed, and off-road capability.

To put that number into perspective, the standard Ram TRX makes about 702 horsepower from its supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 engine. This tuned version more than doubles that output, turning the TRX into what can only be described as a hyper truck.

While torque numbers were not shared, the performance figures tell the story clearly.

Supercar-Level Acceleration

This tuned TRX can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (0–100 km/h) in just 2.9 seconds. That is shocking for a full-size pickup truck that weighs well over 6,000 pounds.

For comparison:

• A stock Ram 1500 TRX takes about 4.6 seconds
  
• Many modern supercars sit between 2.5 and 3.0 seconds
  

In fact, the Lamborghini Temerario, a true exotic supercar, does the same sprint in about 2.7 seconds. That means this Ram truck is only slightly slower than a Lamborghini in a straight line.

The top speed of this tuned TRX is also impressive, reaching 145 mph (233 km/h), compared to the stock truck’s top speed of 118 mph (190 km/h).

Quarter-Mile Performance Still a Mystery

One detail many fans wanted to know is the quarter-mile time. Unfortunately, Road Show International did not share that information.

However, based on its power and acceleration, experts believe this truck could run the quarter-mile in around 11 seconds, or possibly even 10 seconds under perfect conditions with an experienced driver. That’s drag-strip territory usually reserved for serious sports cars. See more Photos

Bold Exterior With Custom Touches

This Ram 1500 TRX doesn’t just rely on power to make a statement. It also features several visual upgrades.

The truck wears a white exterior with red and black accents, giving it a clean but aggressive look. A paint protection film has been applied to protect the finish.

Both the front and rear bumpers appear to be made of steel, adding toughness and durability. The hood keeps its original shape but includes subtle tweaks, while the lower body cladding, normally black, has been color-matched in white.

Other exterior upgrades include:

• Dark-tinted windows
  
• Extra auxiliary lights on the front
  
• Massive 26-inch Forgiato wheels
  
• Slim performance tires designed for street use
  

The wheels feature Forgiato’s signature “F” center caps and have a complex design with a black finish and wide lips.

Luxury and Sporty Interior

Inside, the TRX blends luxury with performance-focused design. The cabin is trimmed in black leather with red accents, red stitching, and Alcantara surfaces.

Highlights include:

• TRX logos stitched into the seatbacks
  
• Alcantara-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel
  
• Special plaque on the center console
  
• Panoramic glass roof
  
• Black headliner for a sportier feel
  

At the time it was listed, the odometer showed just over 10,000 miles (around 16,000 km).

Recently Sold for an Unknown Price

This extreme Ram 1500 TRX has already changed owners, but the final sale price was not disclosed. Considering its performance, customization, and rarity, it likely sold for a significant amount, possibly well into six figures.

The new owner now has a vehicle that can run with supercars, carry cargo, and still handle light off-road driving.

Ram TRX Is Officially Coming Back

For fans of high-performance trucks, there’s even more good news. Ram has officially confirmed that the TRX will return.

Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa announced that V8-powered models like the TRX are coming back to help boost sales volume. While exact details haven’t been confirmed, most industry experts believe the next Ram 1500 TRX will arrive as a 2027 model.

It is widely expected to continue using the legendary 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8, keeping the TRX at the top of the performance truck world.

Final Thoughts

This tuned Ram 1500 TRX proves that pickup trucks are no longer just work vehicles. With the right upgrades, they can deliver performance that rivals some of the fastest cars on the planet, while still offering size, comfort, and utility.

If this is what tuners can do with the TRX today, the factory comeback of the model is something truck and performance fans should be very excited about.
