New 2022 RAM 1500 TRX Rebel is coming to the markets with high expectations. It is probably the wildest model in the truck segment. The credit goes to its aggressive styling and extremely powerful Hellcat engine. T-Rex, or TRX, will rival the famous Ford F-150 Raptor model. Moreover, Ford is about to introduce the Raptor R variant, so TRX will probably take on a new “R” model.
At this moment, Raptor is far from RAM TRX Rebel in terms of performance, but things are about to change. Until that happens, Ram’s supercharged V8 remains the most potent engine in the segment. The high-performance truck will go on sale later this year and here’s what you need to know.
2022 RAM TRX Rebel Comes With an Aggressive Exterior Design
Visually, the 2022 RAM 1500 TRX Rebel looks very aggressive. This truck also comes with a sporty appearance and athletic stance. Surprisingly, this model won’t depart drastically from its original concept, which is great. Still, some parts are clearly based on the Ram 1500 pickup. Wild character is perfectly combined with the mean-looking front fascia.
Unlike the Ram 1500 model, TRX Rebel comes with a wider grille and larger openings. This is a must, as the V8 supercharged engine needs better airflow. The side profile wears a lot of muscles, just like the hood. Ram offers larger wheels and tires, along with a higher ride and wider stance. Thanks to that, the truck’s stability is improved, just like its off-road capability.
Interior Looks Sporty and Very Premium
As you know, the 2022 Ram 1500 will introduce significant upgrades. The 2022 RAM 1500 TRX Rebel will host similar updates, which is great. For a start, the TRX Rebel variant looks sportier on the inside, as it hosts more carbon-fiber accents. Moreover, this truck comes with additional bolstering on the seats and contrast stitching. The Quad cab setup is available, and it is a roomier variant than the Crew cab, which is also on offer.
The Quad cab will introduce a longer 6-foot-4-inch bed, while the Crew cab comes with a 5-foot-7-inch bed. The cabin of the Ram 1500 TRX Rebel is also more premium, and it provides an impressive 8.4-inch touchscreen. The 12-inch unit will be optional, and the manufacturer will also update the infotainment system. Lastly, Ram offers more charging ports and the newest safety aids.
Supercharged V8 Engine Specs
Under the hood, the new 2022 RAM 1500 TRX Rebel hides a powerful 6.2-liter engine. It is a supercharged V8 gasoline variant with 707 horsepower. However, various reports are predicting even more power, around 717 hp. The manufacturer provides a standard 8-speed automatic transmission, but 6-speed manual transmission won’t be on offer, like in the Challenger SRT model.
The truck also offers both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive systems. Thanks to the higher ride, this model is an incredibly capable off-roader. Moreover, RAM offers larger fender flares, wider stance, and chunkier all-terrain tires. RAM is yet to reveal more details regarding the 2022MY, but we expect slightly more power and over 11,500 pounds of towing capacity.
2022 RAM 1500 TRX Rebel Release Date, Price
