![]() ![]() The RAM TRX features a low range of 2.64:1 for rock crawling and can be flat-towed while in neutral. This is combined with a new BorgWarner 48-13 full-time active transfer case, modified with upgraded internals for strength and durability. It’s an intelligent transmission that has the ability to monitor engine torque gradients, throttle kick-down, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, detection of friction, downshifts and road grade to slot you into the right gear in any circumstance. Hanging off the back of the massive 6.2-litre Hemi is a TorqueFlite 8HP95 eight-speed automatic transmission. The water fording ability is factory rated at up to 812mm. There’s also a one-way drain in the bottom of the airbox for escaping water and twin, heavy-duty air filters provide 198.4 square inches of filter surface area. It goes further, both intake paths direct air to the front and rear of a 29-litre airbox and directing incoming air to the bottom of the air box helps dirt and water settle out before the air reaches the filter element. The air filtering process has been tweaked to allow for distance travel offroad, with 50 per cent of air entering the 6.2-litre supercharged HEMI V8 engine through the functional hood scoops, while the other 50 per cent enters through the grille. This is the least powerful application of the Hellcat motor yet due to air filter restrictions for dirt, dust, and water, however, it’s fundamentally the same engine that’s proven reliable in a number of other Crysler and Dodge vehicles overseas, including the Dodge Challenger, Charger, Durango SRT Hellcat, Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk and Challenger SRT Demon.įuel consumption of the 1500 TRX is equally as impressive as the power, with a claimed 19.6 litres of fuel per 100km. It almost goes without saying but this is the most powerful mass-produced truck in the world, and powering the RAM 1500 TRX in Australia is the infamous Hellcat motor, resulting in power figures of 523kW (702HP) and 882Nm. The RAM 1500 TRX defines the phrase ‘bigger means better,’ and it all starts with the engine. ![]() ![]() Aussies are hitting dealerships in droves to get a piece of the full-sized pickup life and RAM Trucks Australia has had no problem selling plenty – over 13,000 trucks – to farmers, tradies, and adventurers since they landed on shores in 2015. While the fuel price continues to jump to record highs across Australia, a glance around the roads tells a different story. Image: RAM Trucks Australia What Powers the RAM 1500 TRX? ![]()
