TRX Ram Return Rumors Spark Excitement with Potential Power Boost and Hemi V8 Options

Enthusiasts of Ram trucks and high-performance pickups are buzzing with anticipation following a purported leak from a dealership employee. This leak suggests that the iconic Trx Ram is poised to make a comeback, potentially boasting even more power than its celebrated predecessor. Adding fuel to the fire, the rumor mill also hints at the return of the beloved 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine to the Ram 1500 lineup, alongside the already available 6.4-liter variant.

According to a report by Sportsnaut, an alleged email from a Wisconsin-based dealership employee of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram has ignited discussions across online forums and automotive news outlets. This email claims the employee attended a ‘go to market’ meeting where future product plans were revealed by company officials. While it’s crucial to approach such leaks with caution, as Stellantis has not officially confirmed these details, the information aligns with some existing rumors and has generated considerable excitement within the Ram truck community.

The most electrifying piece of news for performance truck aficionados is the rumored return of the Ram 1500 TRX. The leaked email boldly states the TRX is “coming back with more power.” While specific engine details remain shrouded in mystery, the previous TRX model was equipped with a formidable supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine. This powerhouse delivered a staggering 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, allowing for blistering acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 12.9 seconds. Fans are eager to learn what upgrades Stellantis might have in store to surpass these already impressive figures and reassert the TRX Ram’s dominance in the high-performance pickup segment.

Beyond the TRX Ram buzz, the email also suggests a welcome comeback for the naturally aspirated Hemi V8 engines in the standard Ram 1500. The 5.7-liter Hemi, a long-time favorite for its robust performance and characteristic V8 rumble, is reportedly slated to rejoin the engine options. It’s suggested it will be offered alongside the 6.4-liter Hemi V8, which is currently available in the heavy-duty Ram variants. This move could cater to a broader range of Ram 1500 customers, offering both fuel-efficient and powerful engine choices.

The potential powertrain updates don’t stop there. The email hints at a possible turbodiesel engine option for the Ram 2500 Power Wagon. Currently, the Power Wagon is exclusively available with a 6.4-liter Hemi V8. The rumored diesel engine is a 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel inline-six, potentially producing 430 horsepower and a massive 1,075 lb-ft of torque. This would be a significant upgrade in torque and towing capability, addressing a perceived gap compared to competitors like the Chevrolet Silverado HD ZR2, which offers both gasoline and diesel engine choices.

In addition to these performance-oriented updates, the email mentions new trim levels for the heavy-duty Ram trucks. A new Night Edition is expected, likely featuring blacked-out styling elements, and the popular Warlock trim is also rumored for the 2500 and 3500 HD models. These trim updates would enhance the visual appeal and customization options for Ram’s heavy-duty lineup, appealing to buyers seeking both ruggedness and distinctive styling.

While the leaked email also touched upon updates for Jeep models like the Cherokee successor, Durango (potentially ending production in 2025), and the Dodge Hornet GLH variant, the core excitement for truck enthusiasts centers on the potential resurgence of the TRX Ram and the return of Hemi V8 power across the Ram 1500 range. As always, these details remain unconfirmed by Stellantis, but the rumors have undoubtedly ignited anticipation for what the future holds for the Ram truck brand.
