Ram TRX returns Q1 2026

[KnightMare]

How did you get a hold of this mysterious document? Why not post the entire document?

Will this mythical 2026 TRX have a new driveshaft?

Can't reveal full document to protect sources

Any leaks about the comeback of Challenger? Or any other Mopars?

There will be a budget sports car (Maybe called the Duster?) and Viper. Don't know about the Challenger yet and Cuda was teased but most likely an SRT trim for the new Charger like the Hellcat was.

Any word on a 392 Gladiator?

Wrangler 392 extended to 2029 but I don't know about Gladiator yet

Q1 2026 equals rushed production equals more issues. No thanks.

They are building 5.7 Hemi Ram 1500 starting July and running mules down the line now for testing. The main holdup with the TRX is they upgraded the architecture and need to get the 6.2 run on it.

My fear is the MSRP. I’ll type this out and I’m sure a financial guru will say I’m an idiot but if the MSRP is like 95k-105k I can swallow my pride and say okay, put 20k down or so and finance the rest. Pay it off in two years or so, be done. The 125k bullsh*t I just can’t do man. Even if you put 45k down, you still finance 80k. That’s just insanity to me. I’d rather just sell my ‘22 and get a low mileage ‘24. These trucks are incredible man, I’ve had 3 but this 150k pick up chaos has to end at some point. Now if you’ll excuse me I need to get back to barking at clouds.

I was talking to Ram about this and they tell me the tariffs are affecting the cost from raw materials to components. So we'll have to see what MSRP will be but I don't expect it to be cheap. Only way I could stomach it is with a Redeye engine but I haven't seen any docs to point at that engine for now

I can share more of the doc, TK showed more in his video. Basically Durango, Wrangler 392, and Ram HD BGE are the main ones extended. Ram bringing back the 5.7 etorque this summer

It's a mistake to keep eTorque on the 5.7. They would sell more without that lame ass system.

That’s a good question. Unfortunately Chrysler seems to have forgot how to update and replace aging models. Still don’t have gas powered replacements of the charger and challenger (15+yrs), still same old Durango (15 yr old), still same 4th gen HD ram (16yrs), going on 4 years since new Cherokee should have been here, 9 yr old Pacifica….. and the list goes on. If this company can’t figure out how to bring new product to market, I can’t see it surviving. Glad the TRX is coming back but at this point we should be getting a 6th gen in a year or so. Sadly based on recent track record, the 5th gen will be 8 years past its lifespan before we see a new one.

That's because Stellantis was intentionally attempting to kill the legacy American divisions of pre-merger FCA. There's no way Tavares management buffoonery was accidental. And they would have gotten away with it too if the boxed wine swilling, word salad spewing DEI moron had won.

Probably about the only thing that could save that sales pig.

If they didn't have to play the repo game with people who couldn't actually afford things the prices wouldn't be so high or the rates this is how they justify bullshit.

If someone doesn't make their payments and the truck gets repo'd, that's not a loss for Stellantis - it's a loss for the bank that financed it. Repo's have no impact on new vehicle prices - it would only be factored into the credit app/approval process and/or interest rate on a vehicle.

Go over the RHO board. The number of people that would count the electrical architecture as an upgrade is zero. That's actually why I have a TRX. I had an RHO on order - it has been sitting with dead batteries in Detroit for close to 10 weeks. The number of electrical gremlins is honestly unreal - it scared me away and they don't seem to be slowing down.

yea the less wires and electrical nannies the better. Let me add a bunch of electrical gremlins b/c i wire like a 12-yr old. I expect my truck to be electrical problem free until i get my hands on it

To get me to upgrade it would have to have around 100 more HP and ALL of the current issues totally fixed (cv`s, driveshaft, radiator, etc) Also would need to see a front locker, 4:11 gears, 37 tires, more colors, ft and rear swaybar disconnects, factory winch oh and a fair price My 23 is a very nice truck and paid for lol

What we need is an upgrade to the 6.4L Gas in the HD platform. That motor should be north of 500hp and 500 torque.

With tarriffs in play I am thinking prices will be RETARDED and they do not have time to really test issues pounding the truck offroad.

 

[Russ103]

How about they unfuck the problems with the current TRX before they start thinking of more power…

There is ALWAYS room for more power with or without other problems.

 

[saturnfire]

Well like others have said... it would need at least a 100+ HP from the current model. Not worth it for me for ~50hp. Now if they bring a Demon 170 TRX....well that maybe the ticket. or a Demon 170 powered Grand Wagoneer. Heck even a 6.4 Grand Wagoneer..

Demon 170 Grand Wagoneer would be funny. It would be an oddball that we would look back on in 20 years and laugh that it was a thing.

It looks real. Is it a deepfake?

No emissions laws have been rollback yet and it'll be interesting to see if they still get fined by CARB states even if Trump EPA declines to charge them.

What we need is an upgrade to the 6.4L Gas in the HD platform. That motor should be north of 500hp and 500 torque.

They might be upgrading to the Cummins B6.7 that can run on multiple fuels. It comes out next year and the graphic list the 6.4 BGE staying at least until 2027MY

Yeah that video I made last year of the UAW talking about issues tells you that new architecture is trash. Wagoneer has it, buggy. Ram has it now, buggy. I'm very interested in another TRX but if it trash electrically, I hope that is the reason they are pushing it to Q1 to fix issues with mules

 

[AZDinoPwr]

Yea try living here for 38 years haha. Been gettin raped for 22 years on Fla vehicles. Although i did hit up GA twice and prices were pretty solid there

lol. I lived in Florida for four years. Don’t remember vehicle prices being an issue back then but I could be wrong. I got my TRX from GA for a good price.

You keep believing that!
