Hennessey Performance has just finished work on its latest Ram 1500 TRX super truck, this time taking the limited-run Lunar Edition and giving it a host of special components. It has been a couple of years since the Texas tuner first unveiled its Mammoth 1000 package for the Ram 1500 TRX. The kit lifts the performance of the truck to even greater heights and turns it into an absolute animal.
For starters, it is the first example of the
TRX Lunar Edition that Hennessey has worked on. Like all other Lunar Edition
models, it has a Ceramic Grey paint finish complete with a host of black
accents across the exterior. The tuner has then fitted an available off-road
package that includes unique front and rear bumpers, a suspension lift,
10-spoke aftermarket wheels with 37-inch off-road tires, and LED off-road
lights. On the move, it looks like a beast and like all Mammoth 1000s, is a
performance weapon.
Each Ram 1500 TRX that receives Hennessey’s
Mammoth 1000 package gets an enlarged 2.65-liter high-flow supercharger,
upgraded fuel injectors, and a new high-flow induction system. These elements
combine to extract 1,012 hp and 1,313 Nm of torque from the
6.2-liter V8. Hennessey says the truck can hit 96 km/h in just 3.2
seconds and run down the quarter-mile in 11.4 seconds at over 193
km/h. A new exhaust system also ensures that it sounds even meaner than a
standard TRX.
Ram introduced the TRX Lunar Edition earlier
this year. In addition to it receiving special Ceramic Grey paint, it also
comes with Surf Blue accent stitching through the cabin as well as a carbon
fiber interior package. Other highlights of it include a dual-pane panoramic
sunroof, a spray-in bedliner, cargo tie-downs, and an LED brake light.
