Size of small condo, a new level of thirsty, needs high-speed dune action to really shine

Bottom Line

2021 Ram 1500 TRX Review: First Drive

The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is the Bugatti Chiron of trucks. No, really.

Think about it: both of them are ridiculously extra. They’re over-engineered, over-powered, and single-mindedly built for a specific purpose. The Bug’s goal is ultra-high-speeds; the TRX’s is about being fast too, just over entire dunes instead of around VW’s Ehra-Lessien oval.

I haven’t driven the Chiron, so I can’t say what it feels like to drive it. I did spend a day flinging Ram’s 702-horsepower, Raptor-hunting TRX around on the road and a dedicated off-road course though. In that short time, I learned the TRX is an incredibly accomplished feat of engineering, capable of traipsing over rocks and sticking landing after landing off sweet, Napoleon-would-approve jumps. For those willing to shell out at least $71,790 ($96,590 CAD), the TRX will produce a steady stream of incredulous laughs—up to and including when this thirsty dino needs a refuel.
