The century’s greatest truck drag race.
Are there any other new production trucks that can compete with the RAM TRX? The RAM TRX’s 702 horsepower engine makes it the most powerful production truck available. It also features a number of unique off-road features. The team at The Fast Lane Truck put the TRX through its paces by building the Ford Raptor, a Shelby F-150 Super Snake, and a tuned F-150 for the truck drag race.
FCA’s hellcat everyone brand strategy includes the RAM TRX. Every vehicle that can fit under the hood a V8 is eventually granted the 700+ horsepower supercharged Hemi V8 from the original Challenger Hellcat. This strategy has been a huge success, resulting in massive media coverage and the ability for the Hellcat drivetrain to be amortized across a wider range of products.
The RAM TX produces a staggering 702 horsepower (523 Kilowatts), and 650 lb (81 Newton-meters). This is thanks to its hellcat-derived 6.2-liter V8. The engine is driven by an 8-speed auto transmission and then reaches the ground using a four-wheel drive system that can be adjusted to adjust power. The RAM TRX is a small 6,350 lb. This can cause problems during drag races.
All of today’s drag racers are variants the Ford F-150. The Raptor is powered by a twin turbo 3.5-liter V6 motor that produces 450 horsepower (335 Kilowatts), and 510 lbft (691 Newton meters) of torque. A Ford Raptor of similar size weighs only 5,697 lbs, or 653 lbs less than the RAM TX. This is due to extensive aluminum use.
The Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake is the truck for you if you need a truck with V8 power. This truck is a Coyote V8-powered F-150 that has been given a lift suspension and revised styling. It also features a supercharger. Ford refused to build a V8 F-150 with 750 horsepower (559 Kilowatts).
However, these trucks can’t compete with the tuned Ecoboost F-150.
