It is official: The Ram 1500 TRX is making a comeback. Newly appointed Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa confirmed the mannequin’s revival through the firm’s Q2 monetary name, pointing to its skill to generate huge margins for the model.
“The V-8 engine on variations, such because the Ram 1500 TRX, will ship to us further volumes but in addition accredited margins per unit,” Filosa advised shareholders, in accordance with Mopar Insiders.
Filosa did not present particulars about when manufacturing would start, however Mopar Insiders cites unnamed, “well-placed” sources that declare the brand new TRX may hit dealerships as quickly as January 2026. We’re inclined to belief Mopar Insiders’ supply, provided that they had been those who predicted the TRX’s return method again in March.
There is not any phrase on what a brand new TRX would appear to be, although we will make some educated guesses. The earlier truck used a Hellcat-sourced 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 making 702 horsepower. With Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis now additionally heading Stellantis’s SRT efficiency division, we anticipate the pressured induction V-8 to make a comeback. It will possible make extra energy, simply to point out up the 720-hp Raptor R, however retain its off-road prowess and brutish, rugged design.
The TRX’s return represents a small piece of Ram’s broader shift again to V-8s. The corporate confirmed the Hemi’s return to the 1500 for the 2026 mannequin 12 months and guarantees 25 new product bulletins throughout the subsequent 18 months. So the TRX is simply the tip of the iceberg.
With gasoline economic system requirements now primarily meaningless underneath the present administration, it is possible Ram (and its sister model, Dodge) will proceed to lean into its eight-cylinder heritage with out worry of being restricted by laws.
