This output represents a significant jump from the 702-horsepower figure that defined the model\u2019s debut, positioning the truck as an increasingly extreme outlier in a market moving toward electrification and smaller displacements.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of this performance is equally substantial. With a starting price of $99,995 and a $2,795 destination charge, the total price reaches <a href=\"https:\/\/nile1.com\/en\/2026\/07\/08\/ram-1500-trx-srt-returns-to-defy-downsizing-with-777-horsepower-v8\/\" class=\"auto-internal-link\" title=\"Ram 1500 TRX SRT Returns to Defy Downsizing with 777-Horsepower V8\">$102,790<\/a>. This creates a $26,200 premium over the Ram RHO, a more affordable alternative that the manufacturer suggests offers its own distinct advantages in handling and value.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its 6,376 lbs of mass, the TRX remains a performance-focused machine. Recent testing recorded a 0-60 mph sprint in 4.57 seconds. However, the mechanical trade-off for such acceleration is evident in its efficiency. While the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fueleconomy.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Environmental Protection Agency<\/a> rates the vehicle at 12 mpg combined, real-world in-town fuel economy was measured at just 9.4 mpg during recent evaluations.<\/p>\n<p>The TRX\u2019s identity is defined by these contradictions. It produces 707 lb-ft of torque and features a chassis designed for off-road dominance, yet it maintains a level of interior comfort and ride quality that allows for daily usability. The vehicle remains a dramatic statement of <a href=\"https:\/\/nile1.com\/en\/2026\/07\/05\/chevrolet-bolt-to-exit-market-again-as-gm-pivots-toward-hybrids\/\" class=\"auto-internal-link\" title=\"Chevrolet Bolt to Exit Market Again as GM Pivots Toward Hybrids\">internal combustion<\/a> capability, even as the broader automotive landscape shifts toward more efficient powertrains.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-news-box\">\n<h3 class=\"related-news-title\">Read also:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"related_news_list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nile1.com\/en\/2026\/07\/12\/2026-honda-prelude-a-mature-pivot-from-raw-specs-to-real-world-agility\/\">2026 Honda Prelude: A Mature Pivot from Raw Specs to Real-World Agility<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nile1.com\/en\/2026\/07\/12\/ruf-asserts-manufacturing-autonomy-with-1000-horsepower-b8-engine-reveal\/\">Ruf Asserts Manufacturing Autonomy with 1,000-Horsepower B8 Engine Reveal<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nile1.com\/en\/2026\/07\/12\/kia-ev3-targets-corporate-market-with-strategic-range-and-pricing-shift\/\">Kia EV3 Targets Corporate Market with Strategic Range and Pricing Shift<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ram TRX has escalated the horsepower wars, with the latest SRT TRX variant delivering a staggering 777 horsepower from its 6.2-liter supercharged V8.
