After a hiatus and the discontinuation of production, Stellantis has officially confirmed the return of the legendary 2026 Ram TRX —a move that’s stirred excitement among enthusiasts of high-performance American pickups. The comeback, slated for early 2026, signals the company’s ongoing commitment to the raw power and distinctive performance DNA that defines the Ram brand.
Why Bring Back the TRX Now?
When Ram ended TRX production in 2024, the decision was framed as part of a broader strategy to reduce emissions and pivot toward more efficient powertrains like the inline-six Hurricane engine. But the decision didn’t sit well with fans. In response to overwhelming public demand and media scrutiny, Stellantis reversed course. According to the CEO, bringing back the TRX wasn’t just about passion—it made financial sense. The TRX, with its supercharged muscle and premium positioning, generates significantly higher profit margins than conventional trucks.
Supercharged Power That Redefines Performance
The revived 2026 Ram TRX will return with the iconic 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 engine, expected to produce between 702 and 720 horsepower. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a robust four-wheel-drive system, this beast is engineered for both brutal off-road environments and blistering straight-line speed.
Early performance estimates suggest the truck could sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds—an astonishing feat for a vehicle of its size. Enhancements to suspension and braking systems are also anticipated, ensuring that the TRX delivers not just brute force but agile, confident handling on all terrains.
A Bold New Look for a Returning Icon
Visually, the 2026 Ram TRX will adopt a more aggressive design language, drawing from the styling updates seen on the 2025 Ram 1500. Expect a bolder front grille bearing the “RAM” insignia, sleeker LED headlights, and muscular bumpers that assert its off-road dominance. A new lightweight rear spoiler will aid in aerodynamic stability while amplifying the truck’s sporty presence.
The truck will also feature fresh exterior paint choices—including dual-layer finishes for added scratch protection—and rugged 18- or 20-inch wheels wrapped in off-road tires.
Inside: Where Performance Meets Premium
The interior of the new TRX promises to deliver both sportiness and luxury. It will feature TRX-branded leather-trimmed sport seats, and a large central touchscreen powered by the Uconnect 5 system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Sound will be handled by a 19-speaker Harman Kardon system, providing an immersive audio experience that complements the truck’s explosive performance.
Advanced driver-assist features such as blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, and a 360-degree camera system will also be part of the package, making the TRX as safe as it is thrilling.
Production Timeline and Pricing
Production of the new-generation 2026 Ram TRX is set to begin in January 2026 at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Michigan—the same facility that built the previous model. Pricing is projected to start at around $92,000, or approximately 345,000 SAR.
Entering a Competitive Arena
The 2026 Ram TRX will re-enter a fiercely competitive segment, squaring off against heavyweights like the Ford F-150 Raptor R, GMC Sierra AT4X, and potentially even high-performance variants of the Tesla Cybertruck. With its unmistakable V8 growl, updated styling, and a suite of cutting-edge features, the TRX appears more than ready to reclaim its crown as the ultimate high-performance pickup.
