Ram has made its way to the top of the full-size pickup class over recent years with the Ram 1500. This truck offers a selection of cargo beds and powerful engines that can get the job done at the work site. But now, Ram is moving into the electric vehicle (EV) race with a new Ram 1500 BEV. Many people wonder whether the Ram 1500 BEV will differ substantially from its gas-powered cousin and what new features it could bring. Here at Chris Nikel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat, we can help answer some of these questions. View our inventory of New Vehicles, or if you have any questions, give us a call at (539)-766-8990 today! When Will the Ram 1500 BEV Launch? Image by stevosdisposable is licensed with Unsplash License The Ram 1500 BEV, a battery-powered EV, is set to begin production in early 2024. Ram hasn't released too many details on the truck yet. Therefore, we're not sure whether it will come out in time for the 2024 model year or whether the early 2024 production timeline means it will hit showrooms later that year for the 2025 model year. A concept is set to be previewed in January 2023, so we hope to have more information following its release. What Will the Driving Range of the Ram 1500 BEV Be? Ram executives have promised that the Ram 1500 BEV will have a range of “up to 500 miles.” This figure would be a tremendous improvement over many current EVs. Electric crossovers typically have a driving range between 250 and 350 miles, while Ford's F-150 Lightning currently has a range of 320 miles. Reports indicate that the new electric truck will have an optional range extender, which suggests that there may be a base trim with a lower range and higher trims that will push the 500-mile mark. Ram has also confirmed that its electric truck will be compatible with DC fast charging. The 1500 BEV will be able to charge at 150 kWh on a so-called Level 3 charger. What Will the Ram 1500 Electric Truck Look Like? While taking some of its styling from the gas-powered Ram, the 1500 electric truck will have some unique styling elements. The electric Ram will share the rugged style that fans of the gas-powered truck have enjoyed for years. However, early drawings already show some significant changes, such as an eye-catching illuminated Ram logo at the front and L-shaped taillights with the Ram logo at the rear. Instead of the traditional upper grille, the electrified Ram will get a dark-colored panel that will improve aerodynamics. Like many other electric trucks, the Ram's powertrain will consist of a battery and electric motors. The powertrain will be located under the floor in the center of the vehicle. This change in design from traditional front-engine, gas-powered vehicles could open up even more cargo space inside the Ram's cabin. What Will the Ram Electric Truck's Specs Be? We're still some time away from the Ram 1500 BEV's release date, so we don't yet know all the specifics about its capabilities. Speculation suggests that the truck could ride on the STLA platform, which Stellantis, Ram's parent company, wants to bring out in 2024. The platform is expected to offer room for a spare tire under the cargo bed. Discussion is ongoing about whether a hybrid powertrain will be offered in the lineup. The advantage of including this option would be that it could appeal to buyers who are uncertain about relying solely on an electric powertrain. One of the concerns raised is that the official driving range of an EV can decline sharply when the EV has to tow or haul a heavy load. This issue could pose a problem for Ram buyers, who predominantly use their trucks to shift heavy cargo. One potential solution being considered is whether the “range extender” offered in the Ram 1500 electric truck could consist of a gas-powered engine alongside an electric motor. This system could run on all-electric power most of the time but have the gas-powered engine as a backup for situations where much power is used up during a heavy towing job. How Will the Ram 1500 BEV Compare to the Gas-Powered Truck? We'll have a clearer idea after we see the concept vehicle, but it already seems likely that the electric truck will have a short cargo bed. Currently, the Ram 1500 gives customers the choice of three cargo bed lengths. The latest editions of the Ram 1500 are available with a longer bed measuring 6 feet 4 inches in length and a shorter one that's 5 feet 7 inches long. If you choose the Ram Classic 1500, modeled on a previous-generation Ram discontinued in 2019, you can also select an 8-feet-long bed, which is ideal for job sites. The all-electric Ram 1500 may only be available with the shorter 5-feet-7-inch bed. This cargo-hauling option could be combined with a cab offering two rows of seats, much like the Crew cab in the gas-powered Ram truck in terms of size. Can I Reserve a Ram 1500 Electric Truck? There's no reservation process yet for the Ram 1500 BEV, but Ram will likely put one in place nearer to the release date. Other electric truck manufacturers have done this in recent years due to the high demand for EVs. For example, Ford's F-150 Lightning currently has 200,000 requests on hand, while Chevy's Silverado EV has 170,000. When reservations are open, we'll ensure that you're the first to know about it here at Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat. Our easily accessible online services, including custom-order trucks, will enable you to register your interest in no time. If you've decided to wait for the release of the Ram 1500 electric truck before making your next truck purchase, we recommend you check back regularly to stay up to speed with the latest news. Alternatively, if you'd rather check out our latest Ram 1500 gas-powered trucks, we have a great selection for you to explore in our Tulsa showroom. You can arrange a test drive or select your preferred trim by spending just a few minutes browsing our online inventory. Should you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

Are you looking for a truck capable of going off-road while offering you all the luxury features you could desire? That's exactly what the Ram 1500 TRX can do, and it now has a new Sandblast Edition for you to admire. This new model promises to help you stand out from the crowd with unique interior and exterior colors. Our truck experts at Chris Nikel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat have looked at what this new Ram has to offer Tulsa drivers. View our inventory of New Vehicles, or if you have any questions, give us a call at (539)-766-8990 today! What Makes the Sandblast Edition Stand Out From the Ram 1500? New 2022 Ram 1500 TRX Sandblast Edition The Sandblast Edition is available as an optional upgrade to the Ram 1500 TRX trim, which is the top trim in the lineup for this truck. It's powered by a 702-horsepower engine that easily handles whatever towing or off-roading challenge you throw at it. You'll need to add the Level 2 Equipment Group to access the new edition, ensuring its interior features are as luxurious as they come. The Sandblast Edition's most obvious feature is its unique paint color, which helps it to blend into desert conditions. In addition to the paint, the Sandblast Edition rides on 18-inch black wheels that are unique to this pickup edition. Inside the cabin, you'll notice the frost contrast stitching and the Sandblast Edition badge on the center console. Finally, the Sandblast Edition has unique graphics on its infotainment and other displays. Ram 1500 TRX Engine and Performance The Sandblast Edition's engine is a 6.2L supercharged V-8 capable of beating just about any other pickup in a sprint. The 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque it produces help propel the Ram 1500 TRX from zero to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. The engine also gives you the power to handle rock crawling, sand dunes, or a heavy trailer. In addition to this powerful unit under the hood, the Sandblast Edition has four-wheel drive to help you cope on all surfaces. No other Ram 1500 trim offers four-wheel drive as standard, which is why the TRX is always the first choice for off-roaders. Ram has equipped its newest addition to the lineup with an off-road chassis and strengthened air filter to help the Sandblast Edition deal with all sorts of terrain, including dusty deserts and trails. Fuel efficiency isn't the Ram 1500 TRX's strong point, but you're probably not too concerned by that if you want to take advantage of the Sandblast Edition's capabilities. This truck achieves 10 mpg on city roads and 14 mpg on the highway. Ram 1500 Cargo and Passenger Options The Sandblast Edition shares the TRX's cab and cargo bed configuration: a five-seater crew cab with a short cargo bed. The crew cab is the Ram 1500's largest cab option, providing cavernous seating in both rows for adult passengers. The cargo bed measures 5 feet 7 inches in length and has over 4 feet of distance between the wheel wells, making it perfect for loading plywood and other work supplies. Inside the cabin, the Sandblast Edition gets genuine leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and power adjustments for the front passenger seats. The driver benefits from a heated steering wheel, a surround-view parking camera, and front and rear parking sensors. If you need a larger cargo bed, you may want to check out the other options in the Ram 1500's lineup. Other trims offer the option of a longer cargo bed measuring 6 feet 4 inches in length. This bed can be paired with the crew cab or the quad cab, which still has a rear row but more compact seats. If your primary reason for purchasing a Ram 1500 is for the job site, you may want to consider the Ram Classic 1500. It includes an extra-long bed measuring over 8 feet and a regular cab with a single bench seat. Infotainment and Safety Features You won't be able to miss the infotainment screen in the Sandblast Edition since it measures 12 inches and is linked to a 10-speaker premium stereo. Other attractive features are smartphone compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, satellite radio, and Bluetooth. On top of the main infotainment display, you also get a head-up display to keep up with speed limits, directions, and other important information while driving. Ram gives its TRX trim a great selection of driver assistance features to help you stay safe while on the road. In the Sandblast Edition, you get adaptive cruise control, a feature that automatically adjusts your speed on the highway to maintain a safe distance from others. Other safety features worth noting include forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, and lane-keep assist. The surround-view parking camera will come in handy if you need to line up your truck perfectly when you're towing a trailer or need to maneuver carefully into a tight spot.

The Dodge Ram lineup has something for every taste and job if you need a pickup truck and want power, comfort, and convenience. The full-size Ram 1500 and the heavy-duty Ram 2500 have exceptional powertrain packages that can handle your work week and weekend adventures. Of course, each truck has its specs. To help you determine which truck fits your needs best, we asked our pickup experts to break down the two vehicles for you. Towing and Performance Ram 1500 and Ram 2500 pickups have the power to handle the most challenging jobs and terrain. You have gas and diesel engine options and the choice of a two-wheel or four-wheel drivetrain. Various cab and bed configurations offer more choices to suit a particular need. All your gas-powered engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The diesel engine gets a six-speed automatic. You have five engine options on the Ram 1500. A 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine comes in the lower trims. This engine puts out 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque and tows up to 7,730 pounds. Ram offers a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with or without e-Torque, a mild hybrid technology. Both 5.7-liter engines produce 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. However, the e-Torque can tow more with a rating of 12,750 pounds versus the regular HEMI's 11,610 pounds. An available supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 capable of producing 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque can crank up the fun on or off the road. However, the supercharged HEMI doesn't do much for towing, coming in at an 8,100-pound towing capacity. There's still plenty of pull to take your bass boat to the river; you know you'll get there fast. If you want power and efficiency, you can opt for the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel turbocharged V-6 engine. This powertrain puts out 260 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque and tows an impressive 12,560 pounds. The Ram 2500 offers heavy-duty construction to support heavy-duty work. Therefore, Ram gives you two engine options on the 2500. A 6.4-liter gas-powered HEMI V-8 engine provides 410 horsepower, 429 lb-ft of torque, and can tow 17,540 pounds when properly equipped. You can choose the 6.7-liter Cummins turbo diesel inline six-cylinder engine if you need more power. This monster delivers 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque and an impressive 20,000-pound towing capacity. Advanced Towing Technology Towing anything with a Ram truck, you don't rely just on power. Instead, you have some of the most advanced technologies in the world to assist you with the job. From hooking up to backing up and improved handling on the move, Ram towing technology helps you stay in control. Ram towing technology includes Cargo View and Backup Camera systems. A cargo view camera sends a live video feed to your center stack display. If you've ever hauled gear and hit a bump, you've worried about something jostling free by the turbulence. Now, with a live video of your truck bed, you can see precisely how your load sits and determine if you need to resecure your gear without pulling over, getting out, and climbing up. Ram's Backup Camera System works similarly to other vehicles' backup camera systems. However, in this case, you have a camera positioned directly above your ball hitch and pointed behind. From this angle, you can see your trailer's receiver, and using the grid line guidance system on the video, steer your ball to the hitch without needing a spotter. A 360-Degree Surround View Camera system uses multiple cameras to render an image of your Ram 1500 and its surroundings from above. Adding the Trailer Camera Prep package allows you to install two additional cameras on or in your trailer, broadening your view. In addition, Ram has Reverse Guidance with Split-Screen View system. This technology projects a single image as you back up to your hitch, or you can split the screen and see each side of your trailer as you back it toward a parking spot. This split view of either side helps you see how close your trailer gets to obstacles as you back up. Driver-assist technology on your Ram 1500 or 2500 includes Blind Spot Monitoring, but unlike most systems, Ram's technology includes Trailer Detection. This technology scans your blind spots behind you to either side and alerts you when vehicles enter them. In addition, unlike other manufacturers' blind spot systems that require you manually account for your trailer, Ram's automatically accounts for the length of your trailer. Ram's Trailer Reverse Steering Control system has revolutionized how you back up your trailer. Even seasoned towing professionals encounter steering issues when backing up a trailer. But with Trailer Reverse Steering Control, you won't ever have that problem again. TRSC projects a live video of your trailer as you reverse. You then control your trailer's direction by using the steering knob on the center stack. Turn the knob in the direction you want the trailer to head, and the system adjusts your Ram's steering to produce the desired result. A Trailer Sway Control system continuously monitors your trailer's path. When it detects a drift, the system automatically adjusts braking and throttle to help return your trailer to its intended course. You can take advantage of options such as the Trailer Tow Mirrors, which fold out when towing. They also feature spotter lamps. These mirrors improve visibility with a wider, clearer view. Another option, the Multi-Function Tailgate, gives you more flexibility when loading and unloading the bed. Unlike other truck's tailgates, the Ram MFT has 60/40 split swing-away doors that open to either side. This split door enables you to access the bed even with a trailer attached. Other trucks with traditional fold-down tailgates would strike the trailer, limiting access to the bed and possibly damaging your truck or trailer. If you're in the market for a dependable, capable pickup to handle the job site or weekend excursions, Ram's lineup of 1500 and 2500 trucks has everything you could want or need. We invite you to browse our inventory online to get an idea of what interests you. Then, you can visit our dealership on North Aspen Avenue for a closer look and a test drive.

With powerful performance, luxurious interior comforts, and advanced safety features, the Dodge Ram 1500 has been the top choice of many drivers who want a capable pickup truck. If you're planning to upgrade to the newest Ram 1500, you may want to wait for the release of the 2023 version, which promises enhanced features and state-of-the-art technology. Check out this quick guide to see what you can expect from the upcoming 2023 Dodge Ram 1500. View our inventory of New Vehicles, or if you have any questions, give us a call at (539)-766-8990 today! 2023 RAM 1500 Truck Performance 2023 RAM 1500 Truck While much is still unknown about the 2023 Dodge Ram 1500, the most notable change could be its powertrain options. The 2022 Ram 1500 currently offers four powertrain options. The standard 3.6-liter V-6 engine delivers 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. Available engines include a 5.7-liter V-8 engine, outputting 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V-6 engine, and a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine. This powerful engine, only available on the Ram 1500 TRX, delivers an impressive 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, making it an ideal choice for those heavy-duty jobs. In 2023, the Ram 1500 may add another engine option to its fleet. Stellantis, the company that owns Ram, recently introduced a new 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine named the Hurricane, according to Edmunds. The Hurricane will combine the power of a V-8 engine with the efficiency of a six-cylinder engine. Stellantis has pledged to cut its carbon emissions in half by 2030, and this engine will help the company achieve its goal. If the new Ram 1500 doesn't offer the Hurricane as an engine option, it may debut as part of the truck's next major redesign. RAM 1500 Exterior The Dodge Ram 1500 could receive innovative exterior updates in 2023, but don't expect a complete overhaul. Instead, these changes will likely include new grilles, refreshed bumper styling, and modified taillights. The top-level Limited trim currently features bi-LED projector headlights, which could become a standard feature or an option for other trims in the 2023 model. The 2022 Dodge Ram rides on standard 18-inch or 20-inch wheels, with 22-inch wheels available, depending on the trim you choose. These options should resemble the 2023 models. A multifunction tailgate, which features 60/40 split swing-away doors that allows you easy access to the truck bed, will likely remain available for the 2023 Dodge Ram 1500. RAM 1500 Interior The Dodge Ram 1500 is known for its luxurious, high-quality interior features, and the 2023 model will be no different. While there may be slight changes to the layout or materials, the interior of the 2023 Dodge Ram 1500 will likely resemble its 2022 predecessor. After all, it's hard to improve on perfection. The Ram 1500 offers various interior materials and colors based on the trim you choose. These options range from standard cloth or vinyl seats to premium black or tan leather upholstery. Enhanced technology and cleaner air will make your next ride safer. In 2023, a 7-inch driver information digital cluster display may become standard for more trim levels. The high-tech display could replace the analog dash on some or most 2023 models. A new air filtration system, released in 2022, filters 95% of air particles and should carry over into the 2023 Ram 1500. An available panoramic sunroof that lets fresh air and sunshine into the cabin should still be an option on some 2023 trims. 2023 RAM 1500 TruckTechnology In 2022, the Ram 1500 debuted a modern technology system, the Uconnect 5C, which comes as standard or optional in most trims. This system provides infotainment and customizable features via an 8.4-inch or 12-inch touch screen. This attribute is expected to be offered in the 2023 Ram 1500 models. The Uconnect 5C system features updated user interfaces, towing-specific navigation, in-car Wi-Fi, and connected service updates to address issues or add new elements quickly. It integrates with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so that you can access your apps, music, podcasts, and much more. Other technology features that will probably remain as standard in the 2023 Dodge Ram 1500 include auxiliary ports in the media center, multiple USB charging ports, and 115-volt outlets to charge your devices. Getting where you need to go has never been safer and more fun. 2023 RAM 1500 TruckSafety The 2022 Dodge Ram 1500 is packed with advanced safety and driver-assistance features to give you peace of mind, and the 2023 version will be no different. These features come as standard or optional on most 2022 Ram 1500 trims and should still be offered in 2023: Electronic stability control and roll mitigation: These features work together by applying brakes and reducing engine power to correct oversteering and wheel lift. Together, they help keep your truck centered on the road. Forward collision warning: When your truck detects a potential front-end collision, this feature sends an alert to help you react and will even bring the vehicle to a stop if necessary. Blind spot monitoring: This feature provides a visual alert when vehicles are in your blind spot, helping you change lanes on the highway safely and confidently. Rear cross path detection: Parking or maneuvering in other tight spaces can be challenging. The rear cross path detection scans the area around your truck to make sure there are no other vehicles or obstacles in your path. 2023 RAM 1500 TruckPrice and Release Date So far, a release date hasn't been set for the 2023 Dodge Ram 1500. Likely it will debut in the fall or by year-end. Until then, we won't know the exact pricing of the all-new Ram 1500. Kelley Blue Book (KBB) estimates the base trim price to start around $36,000, like the 2022 Ram 1500 starting MSRP of $36,500. The truck comes in six trim levels, and you're sure to find one to fit your lifestyle. The top-level Limited trim currently retails for $62,685 MSRP, and KBB estimates the 2023 version will have a comparable price tag.

Ram Towing - Basic Capabilities Ram has some of the strongest engines in the nation powering their pickups. The Ram 1500 is capable of towing 7,730 to 12,560 pounds, depending on the engine you choose. The Ram 2500 can tow from 14,370 to 16,870 pounds. The 3500 can tow from 13,490 to 37,100 pounds. Each of these trucks is clearly capable of towing some of the heaviest trailers, boats, and campers made by American manufacturers. Securing the load and the safety of everyone involved is of paramount importance to the Ram family. Let's take a look at the many high-tech ways your load and safety are secured when you tow with Ram towing technology. Active-Level Four-Corner Air Suspension Systems Active-level four-corner air suspension systems are advanced suspension systems geared toward optimizing ride height in relation to tow load. The air suspension system works automatically but can also be manually controlled. It has five air lift positions to choose from. When you are hitching your load to your Ram 1500, 2500, or 3500, it is best to set it to the lowest level. This will make the hitching process easier. Once it is in place, the automatic aspects of the system can be engaged to perfectly level your truck with your load, greatly increasing stability for both. This system is also perfect for going over rough, higher than normal terrain. You can raise the base of your Ram manually to allow your truck to pass over otherwise impassible pathways. If you have elderly family members that have difficulty entering and exiting large trucks, this suspension system, combined with running board step use, can help them enter and exit more easily. The five ride positions of the Ram air suspension system are Normal at 8.7 inches of clearance, Aero Mode at 8.2 inches of clearance, Off-Road One at 9.7 inches of clearance, Off-Road Two at 10.7 inches of clearance, and Entry and Exit Mode at 6.7 inches of clearance. Forward Collision Warning and Assistance System This is likely the most life-saving item on our list, though all do something considerable to increase the safety of towing with a Ram truck. Towing a massive load can make coming to a stop at the right time difficult if traffic conditions change swiftly and unexpectedly. Computerized aid can go a long way towards ensuring that your RAM comes to a safe stop when it really needs to. When the forward collision warning and assistance system detects a dangerously oncoming vehicle, it will alert the driver with visual and audio warnings. It will simultaneously hit the brakes in an attempt to halt the pickup and its load before any impact. These kinds of systems decrease front to rear crashes with injuries by 27%. When paired with automatic braking, as on all three above-listed Ram models, those accident rates with injuries decrease by an amazing 56%. As a result of these results, insurance companies are happy to reduce their rates on trucks with these systems. Trailer Tow Format Mirrors with Spotter Lamps You may have seen these long-arm tow mirrors on Ram trucks before. They are mounted to the truck body in such a way that they can be extended outward, greatly increasing visibility around towed trailers, campers, and boats. Spotter lamps are rear-facing lamps that illuminate all that is being towed. This increases safety for other drivers on the road since it clearly reveals the width of the towed load and the locations of the extended side mirrors. Backup Safety Technologies Trailer Reverse Steering Control Ram trucks don't have to be limited to steering wheel steering. They can be outfitted with a trailer reverse steering control. This control system allows drivers to steer the trailer as the wheel steers the truck, greatly increasing fine maneuvering capabilities. Paired with the camera system in the next subsection, it is an extremely useful tool for getting your truck and load into tight spots safely. Cargo-View and Backup Cameras The Ram infotainment system is capable of a great deal more than playing your favorite music and giving you access to GPS navigation. It can also receive live video feeds from your Ram's cargo view and backup cameras. This allows you to steer your vehicle and load without having to twist your body around to view what is behind you. These features are especially useful if you're towing a load large enough to entirely obstruct your normal central rearview mirror. Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Path and Trailer Detection To further improve driver awareness when towing a full load, Ram offers blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection and trailer detection. The blind-spot monitoring unit continuously scans your vehicle's blind spots and alerts you when a vehicle moves into them. The rear cross-path detection system will alert you if a vehicle crosses your rear path as you are backing up. The trailer detection module will let you know if your trailer is not properly connected or is otherwise having connection issues. Multi-Function Tailgate This innovative tailgate is available on the 1500, 2500, and 3500 model Ram trucks. It opens outward rather than downward at a 60/40 split, so you can access your truck bed, cargo, and toolbox easily, even when you have your Ram's maximum tow load attached. As you can see, this cluster of towing safety and utility features work together to make Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks some of the safest towing trucks on American roads today. To find out more about what these systems can do, contact the professionals at Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat. Our seasoned and kind team will gladly answer all of your questions.

If you enjoy high-performance off-road thrills, the 2022 Ram 1500 TRX full-size pickup truck outperforms its rivals by a long way. Now available from Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, the TRX offers supercharged V-8 performance, a luxuriously appointed cabin, and state-of-the-art technology. Here, we'll take a look at what Tulsa drivers can expect from this unique truck. Head-Turning Exterior Styling With its aggressive styling, increased width, raised ride height, and distinctive model-specific off-road features, the 2022 Ram 1500 TRX has a menacing road presence that sets it apart from other full-size trucks. It comes standard with a spacious crew cab and a 5-foot-7-inch cargo bed. The bold black TRX grille has a flow-through Ram badge, while the sculpted performance hood includes a blackout decal, a hood scoop, and dual heat extractors. Helping you see and be seen are adaptive LED automatic headlights and LED daytime running lights, fog lights, and taillights. The hood scoop also features three integrated amber LED lights to enhance the TRX's signature look Exterior features include a black powder-coated front bumper, black molded-in door handles, deep-tinted rear glass, a power-sliding rear window, black-painted rear bumper, and dual black 5-inch performance exhaust tips. The black heated power mirrors feature integrated turn signals and courtesy lamps, and driver's side auto dimming. Astonishing Power Under the TRX's bulging hood is an awesomely powerful supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8 engine paired with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain delivers 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque to the full-time four-wheel-drive system.
