在任何表面上达到55英里/小时,对于TRX,具有702马力,650英镑的扭矩和定制设计的Goodyear全地形轮胎。但是当我击中坡道时,我对松散的轨道表面上有大约5英里/小时的速度抓住了大约5英里/小时......安静。没有更多的发动机噪音,没有轮胎在污垢上争抢,没有教练的指示。然后将TRX降落在众多,好像它正在沿着安静的街道驾驶。它的平静被转移到我身上,乐趣真的开始了。/p>
RAM的新款怪物 - 卡车 - 伪装 - 伪装车辆得到相同的6.2升增压V-8 Hellcat引擎洒在整个FCA的品牌中,但这是一种不同的动物。无论是轨道还是拖动机,其他车辆都设计为快速速度。另一方面,TRX建成速度em>everywhere/em>。这意味着能够在人行道和污垢上超过100英里/小时,并做这一点不仅仅是原始力量。/p>

2021 RAM 1500 TRX/p>
TRX远远超出您在RAM 1500 Rebel中获得的东西。升级包括一个全新的Bilstein Blackhawk E2(E-Squared)自适应阻尼系统,较大的15英寸刹车前,Dana 60后桥,最大的卷轴弹簧在后轮上装有全尺寸皮卡车。在框架上也已经完成了许多工作,其中74%已通过更强的钢材增强,或者在常规1500上安装了新的碎片以增加强度。即使是35英寸全地形轮胎是专门为TRX开发的通过Goodyear,在118英里/小时的任何地形轮胎上具有最高的顶级速度。/p>
The TRX is also significantly larger than the other 1500 models; it’s a full 8-inches wider thanks to widened axles and sits two inches higher for added ground clearance. All of that frame reinforcement also adds about 600 pounds compared to a Ram 1500 Rebel with the 5.7-liter V-8. TRX tips the scales at 6,350 pounds./p>

Heavy Light-Duty/strong>
在路面上,TRX的HEFT很明显。它以某种方式感受到驾驶RAM的重型2500或3500卡车之一,而不是1500变种。增加的骑行高度并不只是使加入驾驶室(更不用说装入床),使重心更高,在角落里感觉到重量。虽然暂停措施保持整洁,但TRX永远不会感到失望,但我觉得它反对物理学争夺任何转向速度。/p>
On a lighter note, the engine is more than a match for all that weight. It launches from 0-60 mph in just 4.5 seconds and launch control works on gravel as well as on concrete. (It’s the only truck I’ve tested with launch control.) Ram also did something smart with the TRX’s pedal feel. The first half of the pedal’s travel is quite tame in an effort to make it feel more docile, so even in Sport mode it’s easy to drive the truck slowly and it never lurches. But the instant you want to hear that supercharger whine and really get going, pushing the pedal further provides instant haste. Jumping from 20-40 mph doesn’t bring the same thrill that 0-20 mph does, the truck’s head snapping acceleration gets dulled at speed in part due to the adaptive suspension’s proficiency at keeping the truck balanced./p>
即使安装了咄咄逼人的全地形轮胎,the ride quality in the TRX feels smooth and the cabin remains rather quiet. Semi trucks with chains on the tires have chewed up the right lanes of the highways around Lake Tahoe, but even on those pockmarked roads the TRX was tranquil. If anything, I could have used more exhaust note, but the TRX impressively retained the luxury feel that you get in higher Ram 1500 trim levels./p>

Off-Road Chops/strong>
下午的驱动器部分在越野设施中进行,配有污垢,越野路线和陡峭的岩石爬行部分。在跳跃,松散表面,高度变化的污垢轨道上,甚至是obop部分(如滑雪奔跑的Moguls),TRX在家里感觉到。这些大型后弹簧,最多可达14英寸的后悬架行程意味着悬架并未靠近触底物。从驾驶员的座位,TRX感到孤立的孤立,我确定的是难以命中,为下一个接近的障碍提供更多的信心。/p>
I understood the appeal of the Hellcat engine more on the track than the street. It’s enough power for the TRX to feel like it will never get bogged down in dirt of any kind and this sensation is especially charming in turns. I approached the course’s hairpins with some abandon, knowing that I could get the TRX to begin to slide and depend on the throttle to save me, simply mashing on the gas to get the rear end to rotate and power the truck in the right direction with sprays of dirt flying out the back./p>

After some hot laps, I felt that I wasn’t getting as much out of the truck as it had to offer, so I enlisted Chris Winkler, SRT Vehicle Dynamics engineer, to take me for a spin around the track. Chris did much of the test driving for the TRX’s development and the first thing he did was take the traction control all the way off. He took the truck to another level, jumping the truck 20-30 feet further than I was able to and even hitting some smaller jumps sideways to slide the truck into the next corner./p>
While the TRX’s prodigious power came in handy while flying around a dirt track, I was in some ways more curious to see how it handled rock crawling, where throttle dexterity and the ability to control the power to climb (rather than fly) over obstacles is the name of the game. Much like its surprisingly docile nature on the street, the TRX’s power output was easy to control in 4WD low and the truck’s Rock drive mode. Visibility to the truck’s outsides is quite bad; that large hood (with an added scoop) and ride height make it hard to see what’s around you. Though the camera system now offers multiple front and rear views, I was more thankful for the crew of spotters that helped get me up the hill./p>

The Price of Power/strong>
硫氧还蛋白一样有趣,特别是一旦结束的必经之路s, it’s impossible to escape its price tag–both at the dealership and at the pump. Fuel economy ratings for the TRX are estimated at 10 mpg city, 14 highway, 12 combined and the truck requires premium gasoline as well./p>
The TRX’s price tag is also high, starting at $71,890 (including a $1,895 destination charge). Ram eagerly points out that this puts it around the average transaction price of a Ford Raptor, but that is for a Raptor with some options not a base model. My test vehicle included the TR2 ($7,920) options package and a host of other optional equipment which drove its sticker all the way to $89,960. The base TRX comes with the 12.1-inch multimedia screen, but it also has cloth seating, a lack of advanced safety features, and no heated front seats or steering wheel. I don’t see many folks opting for anything near a base version of this truck, and with aa href="//www.tuutuuz.com/news/1127615_mopar-readies-over-100-accessories-for-2021-ram-1500-trx" target="_blank">large catalog of available Mopar accessories/a>您可以将其打到近六个数字。/p>
Though the engine snags all of the headlines, it was the other parts of the TRX that impressed me more. This is similar to the experience I had with the Dodge Charger Hellcat. Dodge would come to release a widebody version of the Charger that came with the same suspension, braking, and handling upgrades found on the Hellcat–just with 500 horsepower instead of 700. I had 90% of the fun for about 70% of the price and I have a sneaking suspicion that the same might be true of the TRX, perhaps with the 6.4-liter V-8 instead of the Hellcat engine. And for me, that theoretical truck might be Goldilocks (and much easier on the wallet)./p>
In the meantime however, if you want to have the baddest, swaggeriest, hairiest-chested truck around, the Ram 1500 TRX fills that role with aplomb. It turns out 702 horsepower is fun in pretty much any incarnation, and the TRX’s performance lives up to its supertruck billing. Just be prepared to pay for the privilege./p>
Ram provided several Ram 1500 TRXs, a hotel room, and an off-road park for Internet Brands Automotive to bring you this firsthand report./em>
