Ram TRX Returns in 2026 with Enhanced Power and Off-Road Capabilities

Stellantis has officially announced the return of the Ram TRX, a high-performance off-road pickup, during its second-quarter 2025 financial briefing. The company anticipates launching the new model by January 2026, potentially featuring increased power output. This revival aligns with Ram's broader initiative to reintroduce V-8 engines across its lineup. The original TRX, equipped with a 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V-8 delivering 702 horsepower, set a benchmark in off-road muscle trucks. With Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis leading Stellantis’s SRT division, expectations are rising for the next-generation TRX to surpass previous performance levels. While specific design and technical details are yet to be disclosed, industry insiders suggest production could commence as early as January 2026. The return of the TRX indicates a strategic shift, with Ram confirming the reintroduction of the HEMI V-8 engine in the 1500 series and unveiling plans for 25 new models within 18 months. Under current relaxed fuel economy regulations, Ram is reaffirming its commitment to V-8 performance, with the TRX leading the charge.
