RAM 1500 TRX dead after MY2024

A 3.0 making 540 hp is nearly industry leading power/liter. Far higher than anything from the factory going in a pickup...ever. That's M3 CS levels of power. I don't trust Stellantis either on that front. it'll probably be ultimately ok, but boy thats a high strung motor.

First 2-3 years they will live at the dealership service bay for sure. Once it's ironed out, should be a monster mouse motor. Interesting they didn't put up TQ numbers yet. I would think the inline-6 would have lots of it.

I think I saw 520tq, just enough to inch out the 3.5 Raptor.

For sure, it’s impressive output in a sub 2 ton sports car. Put it in a 3+ ton truck that’s designed to tow 4+ tons and I don’t see how they’re going to hit durability benchmarks at all.

Where’s @FordTechOne on this? Haha

They say the same about the EcoBoost. I would venture to guess the inline-6 is the stronger architecture. But, it's the OTHER parts (all made by the lowest bidder on the shortest timeframe) that will be it's issue.

They are going to need some serious radiators/heat exchangers on that thing.

521 TQ is what the HO in the regular 1500 will be so I'd imagine it'll be similar in the RHO.

After seeing what Ram released for the new model, all it did was make me want to hold onto my TRX more. I don’t mind a high output 6 Cylinder, but don‘t take my supercharged V8 away!

You might even get V8 sound thru the stereo

That was one of the reasons I got rid of the 2020 Raptor. The fake engine noise after a year of ownership was a blemish on a damn near perfect truck. Turn that shit off and just let the truck sound like the truck it is!
