Just hours after the long-awaited 2021 Ram
1500 TRX was unveiled, the official online configurator for the Ford F-150
Raptor-rival has gone live. The Ram 1500 TRX is not cheap. In fact, it starts
at US$ 69,995 excluding a US$ 1,695 destination charge, but this figure quickly grows
once you start ticking some boxes.
For starters, buyers can opt between
either the Level 1 Equipment Group or the Level 2 Equipment Group, priced at US$ 3,420 and US$ 7,920 respectively. Both the Level 1 and Level 2 packages include
things like accent lighting, body-color door handles, heated front seats,
heated steering wheel, leather-trimmed bucket seats, 8-way power driver and
passenger seats, adjustable pedals, and rain-sensitive wipers. The Level 2 adds
features including Blind-Spot and Cross-Path detection, driver-seat memory,
memory wing mirrors, heated second-row seats, Park Sense Front and Rear
Park-Assist with Stop, adjustable pedals with memory functions, and a wireless
charging pad.
Other available options include the US$ 1,295
TRX Carbon Fiber Package, Us$ 995 Advanced Safety Group, US$ 1,095 Technology Group, US$ 845 Bed Utility Group, and the US$ 395 Trailer-Tow Group. As for the color
palette, there are six options on offer, with our perfect TRX finished in
Hydro-Blue Pearl Coat with Diamond Black Crystal Pearl Coat bumpers and
accents. You can also opt for 18-inch beadlock-capable wheels from Mopar to
replace the standard black rims.
Should you get particularly happy ticking
all the available options, the TRX can be specced out to just over US$ 100,000 –
which, depending on your point of view, is way too much for a pickup truck, or
not that unreasonable for a pickup truck with 702 hp and lots of gear.
