2027 Ram TRX SRT Returns With 777 HP and a $102,790 Starting Price

The 2027 Ram 1500 TRX SRT is back on sale with the most powerful gasoline V8 in Ram’s lineup. The supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat now makes 777 horsepower and 680 pound-feet of torque, up from 702 hp and 650 lb-ft in the truck that left at the end of 2024.

The new engine drops the TRX SRT’s 0-60 mph time from 4.5 seconds to 3.5, and Ram pushed the truck through its paces at an Indiana motocross course during the launch event. Two pre-production units cleared table-top jumps at 45 and 60 mph, covering nearly 100 feet laterally in the air before the suspension re-compressed without complaint. The 2027 Ram 1500 TRX SRT starts at $102,790, including a $2,795 destination fee. A test truck optioned with beadlock-capable wheels and rock rails ran $108,215.

The Hellcat Returns With More Bite

The supercharged 6.2-liter V8 returns to the engine bay with internals pulled from the Hellcat Redeye, an engine family covered in this list of the most powerful Hemi engines ever built. A re-routed hood duct and an upgraded torque converter complete the breathing and fueling package. Boost pressure rises roughly 20 percent, the fuel system moves from 5 to 7 bar, and the redline climbs from 6,250 rpm to 6,500, taking the truck from 702 hp to 777.

That output puts the TRX SRT ahead of the Ford F-150 Raptor R, which makes 720 hp and 640 lb-ft from a 5.2-liter supercharged V8. The new 777-hp figure shows up in the 0-60 mph time, which Ram quotes at 3.5 seconds, down from 4.5 in the previous TRX. Ram’s official TRX SRT page lists the same 3.5-second figure alongside a 12.2-second quarter mile and a 10.0-second 0-100 mph run. The character, though, doesn’t change with the catalog stats: the eight-speed automatic still kicks down in any gear, and the supercharger whine still hits the high notes near redline. As SlashGear reviewer Travis Langness put it after driving the truck at launch, “it’s also still a truck that can do wild things in the dirt.”

• 777 hp maximum output
• 680 lb-ft of peak torque
• 3.5 sec 0-60 mph time
• 12.2 sec quarter-mile time
• 10.0 sec 0-100 mph time

Three and a half seconds is fast for any vehicle, and Langness reported the figure holding up when he launched the truck on rural roads near the launch site in Indiana. The eight-speed automatic upshifts cleanly at wide-open throttle, and the cabin stays composed at highway speeds. Out on the highway, the truck keeps its composure in the tester’s description, the cabin quiets enough to hold a conversation at 70 mph, and the steering tracks straight without wandering.

Built to Fly

Ram did not stage the launch on a slalom course. The company built a small course at a local motocross track in Indiana and asked drivers to jump two pre-production TRX SRTs over twin table-top jumps. Drivers took the first at 45 mph and the second at 60 mph, with Langness reporting that the trucks covered nearly 100 feet laterally in the air before returning to the ground. The outside of the trucks looked harrowing. Inside, the impacts registered as little more than firm thumps.

The hardware doing the absorbing is the same set Ram engineered for the original TRX. Bilstein e2 Blackhawk shocks sit at each corner, and the chassis carries 11.8 inches of ground clearance on 35-inch off-road tires that fit inside the truck’s flared wheel arches.

• 11.8 inches of ground clearance
• 35-inch off-road tires
• Bilstein e2 Blackhawk shock absorbers at each corner
• Two table-top jumps cleared at 45 mph and 60 mph during launch testing

What Six Figures Actually Buys

The TRX SRT remains a crew-cab full-size pickup, and Ram designed the cabin around five adults with cupholders, cubbies, and USB ports to keep them occupied. The front seats are heated, ventilated, and massaging, and the rear seats get heating and ventilation. Langness found the driver’s seat firm at first contact, then settled in for what he called a pretty good road-trip companion.

On the rural highways outside the launch site in Indiana, the TRX SRT acquitted itself like a luxury truck. The suspension that absorbs 60-mph table-top landings also flattens the larger potholes and broken pavement of a real road. The cabin quiets the V8 noise enough to hold a conversation at 70 mph, and the steering tracks straight without wandering. The brake pedal feels tuned for daily use, with confident bite at low speeds and a firm but predictable pedal under hard braking. None of that shrinks the truck, and the TRX remains a usable pickup that fits in a normal garage.

Inside, the centerpiece is a 14.4-inch touchscreen that Langness called one of the best-looking infotainment displays in any full-size pickup. A 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system carries enough volume to overcome the exhaust note. The cabin wears carbon-fiber accents and Ram TRX logos throughout, with a glass-encased center-console badge that shows off multiple layers of Hellcat Redeye valvetrain components, the same parts that helped push the 2027 truck to 777 hp.

Who Beats the 2027 TRX on Price?

The TRX SRT’s narrowest competitor list is itself a statement about the segment. Ram, Ford, and a few boutique builders are the only outfits selling a supercharged V8 half-ton off-road truck today, and the Ford F-150 Raptor R is the closest match by displacement, output, and price. Chevrolet does not field a direct rival, and electric off-roaders like the Rivian R1T do not aim at the same gas-fed buyer. That leaves the Raptor R as the benchmark the TRX SRT has to beat.

On paper, the TRX SRT beats the Raptor R on output and price. The Ram produces 777 hp and 680 lb-ft, against the Ford’s 720 hp and 640 lb-ft, and starts at $102,790 versus the Ford’s $114,420.

Langness noted that the TRX SRT undercuts the Raptor R at the base trim level. The base truck is the only version sold initially, with one available option, a panoramic moonroof, according to his review. Ram sells a limited Bloodshot Night Edition alongside the launch truck, with a blacked-out hood and roof, two-tone lower body paint, a red hood accent stripe, and 18-inch beadlock-capable wheels. A custom glass-encased center-console plaque and carbon-fiber trim with red tracers round out the launch special.

In Ram’s own showroom, the 2027 TRX SRT now sits above the 2026 Ram 1500 RHO, the 540-hp twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that replaced the original TRX for the 2025 model year. The RHO carries a starting price of $73,795, the lowest of the three trucks in this comparison, per the official Ram RHO page. That is the awkward math for any shopper walking into a Ram dealership: the same brand sells a 540-hp off-road pickup for under $74,000 and a 777-hp version for $102,790. Chevrolet does not currently field a direct V8 off-road pickup, and the battery-electric Rivian R1T targets a different buyer, so the TRX SRT’s competition remains a two-horse race with Ford. The only direct rival for the TRX is the Ford F-150 Raptor, per Langness’s first-drive account of the 2027 TRX SRT.

The Ladder Is Getting Harder to Climb

The TRX’s price has moved three times in six years. When the original launched for the 2021 model year, the TRX started under $72,000. The final-edition 2024 trucks carried stickers near $120,000, and the 2027 model returns at $102,790.

1. 2021 TRX launch: starting price under $72,000
2. 2024 final-edition TRX: stickers near $120,000
3. 2027 TRX SRT return: starting price $102,790

Order banks are open for the 2027 Ram TRX SRT, and the test truck in Langness’s drive ran $108,215 with beadlock-capable wheels and rock rails. The new model puts out more power than the one that left at the end of 2024 and starts below the highest final-edition 2024 stickers. Ford’s Raptor R remains the only direct gas V8 rival, and Chevrolet still does not field a comparable off-road pickup. Langness’s verdict was that the 2027 TRX SRT is still the right truck for buyers who want full-size, V8-powered off-road supremacy, particularly when horsepower is the ranking metric.
