The RAM 1500 TRX Final Edition represents the last chance to own a piece of automotive history.
With overseas production ended, just 130 examples of the TRX Final Edition have been made available in Australia.
But the Final Edition does not come cheap . . . not at $249,950 (before on-road costs).
The RAM TRX set new benchmarks for power and performance among full-size pick-up trucks when it debuted in Australia in 2022.
It’s 6.2-litre supercharged HEMI V8 engine remains for this Final Edition variant, delivering a hefty 523kW of power and 882Nm of torque to power the apex predator.
Despite its size and weight, TRX does the dash from 0 to 100km/h in just 4.5 seconds.
Available in three new and unique colours – Delmonico Red, Night Edge Blue and Harvest Sunrise – the Ram 1500 TRX Final Edition allows for even greater personalisation and features a unique combination of technology, graphics, performance and exterior appearance.
This includes Satin Titanium bead-lock capable wheels with a matching 6.2-litre hood badge and bed decal, while inside the exclusive content includes patina stitching on the dashboard, seats and an embroidered TRX logo on the seat back.
A TRX Final Edition cluster screen, ultra-premium centre console badge showcasing the build number, passenger-side TRX dashboard badge in satin titanium finish, tri-axle suede door inserts and 4×4 weave matte carbon-fibre for the instrument panel, doors, console and steering wheel.
