  • Ram has started production on its 2021 Ram 1500 TRX, a ridiculously powerful off-road pickup that the company hopes will take on the Ford Raptor.
  • The TRX sports a 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 that puts out a wholly unnecessary 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque.
  • According to Ram, it can hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, which is blisteringly quick for a hulking, gas-powered truck.
  • The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX will start at $69,995, while the 702-unit launch edition is priced at $90,315.

For years, Ram's had the idea for a Ford Raptor-beating, desert-thrashing, high-performance pickup in the works — and now it's finally arrived.

After unveiling the truck in August, Ram on Thursday announced it's started production on the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX, a completely over-the-top truck with 702 horsepower, 650 pound-feet of torque, and a 0-to-60 time of 4.5 seconds.

You read that right — Ram says this massive pickup will sprint to 60 mph as quickly as some purpose-built sports cars. All that oomph comes from the 6.2-liter supercharged Dodge Hellcat engine Ram stuffed under the hood.

But make no mistake: Ram did a lot more than just Hellcat-ify a run-of-the-mill 1500 pickup. The company transformed the truck into a desert-ready beast by building a stronger frame, revamping its suspension, giving it a wider stance, and lifting it by two inches.

Ram started production on its long-awaited competitor to the Ford Raptor, which the company calls the "quickest, fastest, and most powerful mass-produced truck in the world."

To build the truck — dubbed the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX — Ram took its 1500 pickup and crammed in a supercharged, 6.2-liter V8 that it says is good for 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque.

That combination sends the full-size pickup from 0 to 60 mph in a ludicrous 4.5 seconds, the company said.

The TRX hits 100 mph in a frightening 10.5 seconds and smashes the quarter mile in just 12.9.

The TRX's hood scoop is actually functional and accounts for roughly half the air fed to the truck's monstrous engine.

But the company didn't just plop a 702-horsepower engine into the 1500 and call it a day. Ram gave the 1500 numerous upgrades to make it a better performer in harsh, off-road conditions.
