Fox News Autos test drive: 2021 Ram 1500 TRX<\/h4>\n

The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is the most powerful pickup ever made, but it’s not all about speed. The high performance off-roader is a well-rounded monster truck, says Fox News Autos Editor Gary Gastelu.<\/p>\n

Ram has something in the works.<\/p>\n

The truck brand is launching a new high-performance pickup soon.<\/p>\n

It kind of already did.<\/p>\n

Racer and stunt driver Ken Block has posted a video to Twitter of him driving a “new spec” Ram out in the desert.<\/p>\n

The current Ram 1500 TRX is powered by a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 that’s rated at 702 hp, making it the most powerful gasoline-fueled pickup in the world.<\/p>\n

Ram isn’t necessarily adding power to the TRX, but there’s a good reason that it would.<\/p>\n

Ford will soon be unveiling the new F-150 Raptor R pickup, which is expected to borrow the 760 supercharged V8 from the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. The standard F-150 Raptor on sale today is powered by a 450 hp turbocharged V6. <\/p>\n

In fact, if you look under the hood of the current $80,585 TRX, you’ll find an image of a T. rex dinosaur with a much smaller raptor in its mouth on the engine cover as a playful dig at its competitor.<\/p>\n
