2027 Ram SRT TRX Blows Past Expectations with 777 Horsepower

The idea that the Ram 1500 TRX was coming back was the worst kept secret in the automotive world. Even the Stellantis CEO confirmed that we would see the TRX again, once President Trump eliminated the strict CAFÉ goals. EV production has slowed way down and ICE vehicles are once again in fashion. Now, Ram’s TRX is Back as the fastest and most powerful production gas pickup truck in the world. The 2027 Ram TRX also carries the SRT performance logo. It is the first vehicle out of the resurrected SRT performance division. 

The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX is the most powerful production street legal half-ton pickup ever, with 777 horsepower and 680 lb.-ft. of torque.

Ram announced the return of the famed TRX in “Resurrection,” a short film hosted by Tim Kuniskis, Head of American Brands, SRT Performance, NA Marketing and Retail Strategy.

“We started 2025 with a simple rallying cry—three words and three letters: The Last Tenth and LFG. Our first moves were clear: revive the legendary HEMI® V-8 and reignite the SRT Performance Division. So, would anyone really bet against TRX making a comeback?” said Kuniskis.

“But bringing back the nameplate isn’t enough. Ram set the bar five years ago with 702 horsepower, and that benchmark has been challenged. SRT doesn’t limbo; we high-jump—and 721 wasn’t going to cut it. 777 horsepower? That’s the mark. And it represents more than power—it signals an awakening and a new path forward.”
