Image Credit: Ram / Stellantis.The Ram TRX is officially back. After months of speculation surrounding the future of the supercharged performance truck, Ram has reopened the order books for the reborn TRX and confirmed exactly how much buyers will need to spend to park one in their driveway.The headline number is enough to grab attention. The 2027 Ram 1500 TRX starts at $102,790 including destination charges, pushing the high-performance pickup firmly into six-figure territory before buyers begin adding optional extras.Despite the steep entry price, demand is expected to be strong. The TRX has built a loyal following thanks to its combination of extreme off-road capability and muscle car levels of performance, making it one of the most recognizable performance trucks ever produced.AdvertisementAdvertisementRam is betting that formula still has plenty of appeal. The return of the Hellcat-powered pickup brings back one of the most powerful factory trucks on the market at a time when V8-powered performance vehicles are becoming increasingly rare.The Hellcat V8 Lives OnPowering the 2027 TRX is the familiar supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8, an engine that has become legendary across the Stellantis performance lineup. For its latest application, the powerplant produces an impressive 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque.The engine sends power to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission and a standard full-time four-wheel-drive system. Launch Control is also included, helping the truck put its considerable power to the ground as efficiently as possible.Performance figures remain astonishing for a vehicle of this size. Ram claims the TRX can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds before reaching a top speed of 118 mph.A Truck Built To Dominate Off-RoadImage Credit: Ram / Stellantis.While the horsepower numbers tend to grab headlines, the TRX was designed to be much more than a straight-line performance machine. Ram developed the truck to handle high-speed off-road driving while maintaining everyday usability.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe TRX rides on a purpose-built suspension setup engineered to tackle rough terrain, jumps, and desert-style driving conditions. Wide fenders, aggressive tires, and substantial ground clearance help distinguish it from the standard Ram 1500 lineup.Ram continues to position the TRX as a direct competitor to Ford's F-150 Raptor family. The truck's combination of supercharged V8 power and off-road capability remains one of its strongest selling points in the performance pickup segment.Exclusive Bloodshot Night Edition Costs Nearly $10,000 MoreFor buyers looking for something even more distinctive, Ram is offering a special Bloodshot Night Edition package. The appearance package adds $9,995 to the truck's already substantial base price.The package includes a hand-painted Blacktop upper section paired with a Flame Red hood stripe and unique exterior graphics. Red interior accents and beadlock-capable wheels further separate the special edition from standard TRX models.AdvertisementAdvertisementWhile Ram has described the Bloodshot Night Edition as a limited-run model, the company has not disclosed exactly how many examples will be produced. That uncertainty could make the package particularly appealing to collectors and enthusiasts hoping to own a rarer version of the truck.Technology Gets An Upgrade TooImage Credit: Ram / Stellantis.The TRX isn't relying solely on horsepower to attract buyers. Ram says the truck is one of the few high-performance off-road pickups to offer a Level 2 Plus hands-free driver assistance system.Known as Hands-Free Active Drive Assist, the technology allows for hands-free operation on approved roadways under certain conditions. Ram has been quick to highlight the feature as a differentiator in the increasingly competitive performance truck segment.The addition of advanced driver-assistance technology reflects how modern performance trucks continue to blend capability, comfort, and convenience alongside outright speed.How Long Will The TRX Remain Available?One question surrounding the revived TRX remains unanswered. While the truck is back for 2027, there is still uncertainty regarding how long Ram will be able to keep a supercharged V8 pickup in production amid evolving emissions regulations.AdvertisementAdvertisementRam CEO Tim Kuniskis offered a brief but telling response when asked about the truck's future, suggesting that regulatory decisions could ultimately determine how long the TRX remains on sale.For now, enthusiasts can celebrate the return of one of the automotive industry's wildest factory pickups. The price may be higher than ever, but for buyers who have been waiting for the Hellcat-powered truck to return, the order books are finally open once again.If you want more stories like this, follow Guessing Headlights on Yahoo so you don't miss what's coming next.
