Introducing The 2022 RAM 1500 TRX

 

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. The TRX can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 118 mph.

For the quickest acceleration, you can activate the launch control and launch assist features. With the twin-screw supercharger, the TRX offers immediate torque, and the thundering roar of the exhaust and accompanying whine of the supercharger gives you an exhilarating adrenalin rush. The TRX features upgraded brakes with 15-inch front discs to harness its enormous power.

Cooling Capacity

To help keep the engine cool even in the harshest conditions, the TRX’s features a high-performance air induction system to allow unobstructed airflow to the engine. The unique grille has flow-through Ram lettering, while the hood has a functional air scoop and dual heat extractors, and the flared fenders also feature strategically located airflow vents.

Off-Road Capability

Every aspect of the TRX is designed for the ultimate high-speed off-road performance around Broken Arrow. The fenders are flared to add 8 inches to the overall width to accommodate the 18-inch wheels and huge 35-inch all-terrain tires. You also have the option of 18-inch beadlock-capable aluminum wheels. The specialized lifted suspension and adaptive Bilstein Black Hawk heavy-duty shocks allow for 11.8 inches of ground clearance, 13 inches of suspension travel at the front, and 14 inches travel at the rear.

The TRX features a Dana 60 rear axle with an electronic locking differential, while the full-time electronic transfer case offers 4WD Auto, 4WD High, and 4WD Low settings for the optimum traction on the toughest Oklahoma trails. Heavy-duty skid plates protect the belly pan, transfer case, steering gear, front suspension, and fuel tank from rock damage. Heavy-duty front and rear tow hooks enable you to help drivers of less capable vehicles out of trouble.

On-Road Performance

While being designed to tackle the toughest trails and harshest desert conditions, the TRX also provides a quiet and composed ride on the highways around Tulsa. With its large tire sidewalls, well-mannered suspension, and plush supportive seats, you’re assured of a comfortable ride on your way to and from your off-road adventures or on your daily commute.

Utility

When you’ve got gear to move whether for work or play, the TRX offers generous hauling and towing capabilities. The 5-foot-7-inch bed gives you a payload of up to 1,310 pounds. The TRX comes standard with a class IV trailer hitch receiver, and when properly equipped, it has a maximum towing capacity of 8,100 pounds. The spacious cabin provides plenty of clever front and rear storage options, and the available rear underseat storage enables you to keep valuable items out of sight.

Unique Interior

In the TRX’s sporty and luxurious cabin, slide into the driver’s seat and you’ll find yourself surrounded by premium materials with the primary controls at your fingertips. Interior features include a flat-bottom sports steering wheel with accent stitching and paddle shifters, unique TRX red-trimmed black upholstery, a 60/40 split-folding rear bench, dual-zone automatic climate control, LED ambient lighting, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Two 115-volt power outlets enable you to power up your toys or tools.
