What Do You Want to Know About the Ram 1500 TRX?
What Do You Want to Know About the Ram 1500 TRX?-November 2024

Image for article titled What Do You Want to Know About the Ram 1500 TRX?

We may be in the midst of the worst in over a decade, but that didn’t stop me (a smart and rational person) from asking Stellantis for the keys to a 2022 Ram 1500 TRX to roadtrip for the weekend. Since they’re a bit kooky, like me, they obliged. Because of that, I’ll be taking the TRX down to Washington, D.C. for my little sister’s college graduation (congrats, Maddy).

Yes, you read that right. I’ll be piloting this 702 horsepower, 6,400 pound monstrosity to one of the busiest cities in the country just for fun. Automotive journalism is wild, folks. Let me tell ya.

Maybe I’ll even jump it over the . Whose to say?

We already know what the TRX is capable of, for almost every scenario except for actually living with it every day. How does this gas-guzzling behemoth handle and feel while cruising down the highway? Can it maneuver a tight parking lot? In my mind, these are the things most relevant to the TRX owner. The TRX owner is not off-roading this rig or getting it dirty in any way. They’re toddling around town eating miles (and gas) on the highway.

I’m going to be putting well over 500 miles on this beast, and before I write my review of it sometime next week, I wanna know what you maybe wanna know. Some things I can tell you from the get go: it’s fast, it’s loud, and it goes through gasoline like nothing I’ve ever seen before. (I hope there isn’t a leak?)

In my 45-ish mines of testing so far, I am averaging 8.6 miles per gallon.

The TRX is also incredibly comfortable, and you can look down upon other SUVs and pickups like the lesser beings they are. I’ve never felt anything like it. My “Flame Red” tester is pretty much loaded to the gills – with an MSRP of $91,725, including destination.

So, drop me a line in the comments. What do you want to know about the TRX?

The nicely embodies traditional SUV themes in a package that looks more compact than it actually is and manages to convey an approachability and friendliness lacking in its competitors. Shame it's just a little boring. Everything a family needs and more laid out in an intuitive but very buttony way....

You've always bought Accords and the will merely be the latest. You don't know much about cars but you do know that you don't want to buy American. You fit the above criteria, but despite the physical onset of middle age you think you're too young for a four door....

When we found out Suzuki had an event with a Euro-only just a short distance from Chicago we jumped at the chance to take it for a quick spin. A volume seller in Europe, Asia and other markets, the Swift has a mostly inglorious past here in the states as...

You have kids and take them places. Those places include bulk discount stores, the mountains, the beach, Home Depot and lacrosse practice. The utility in SUV appeals more than the style or image. You find the prospect of carrying sheets of plywood bizarrely intriguing. You need to tow, but don't...

The shows all sorts of pleasing shapes amidst all of that strong idiosyncrasy. It's good clean fun to look at the profile of the front fenders rising slightly above the curve of the hood while you're driving. Molded-in Wankelry on the hood flows nicely into subtle twin speed bumps on...

I'm going to go ahead and hazard a marketing-based guess that the good folks at Mazda want me to think of the 40th Anniversary Edition as the culmination of their design and engineering genius. Unfortunately, the first thing going through my mind was that the suicide-doored, rotary-engined little 2+2 is...
