2024 Ram 1500 TRX Specs: Engine, Towing & Price Guide 2026

The 2024 Ram 1500 TRX runs a 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 rated at 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, with a towing capacity of 8,100 lbs. This was the final model year for that original V8 powertrain before Ram paused TRX production and shifted the off-road performance slot to the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO.

Below is the full spec sheet, including engine output, towing and payload, price by trim, and what actually happened to the TRX nameplate after 2024.

That last point matters more than most spec pages give it credit for. Several dealer listings and review sites still describe the TRX as discontinued for good, which was true for exactly two model years before Ram changed course again.

2024 Ram 1500 TRX Engine Power and 0 to 60 Time

The 2024 Ram 1500 TRX uses a 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8, the same Hellcat-derived engine family found in Dodge’s high-performance cars. Ram rates it at 702 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 650 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 rpm, paired with an 8-speed Torque Flite automatic and standard full-time four-wheel drive.

According to Ram’s official launch announcement for the Final Edition, the TRX runs 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. It covers the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds at 108 mph, with a top speed of 118 mph. Eight drive modes adjust throttle response, gear ratio, and torque split for everything from street driving to high-speed desert running.

A twin-screw supercharger feeds the V8 for near-instant torque delivery, instead of the lag you would expect from a turbocharged engine putting out similar numbers. Massive 15-inch front brake rotors handle stopping duty, sized to match both the truck’s weight and the speeds this powertrain can reach off-road.

2024 Ram 1500 TRX Towing Capacity and Payload Rating

The 2024 Ram 1500 TRX is rated to tow up to 8,100 lbs and carry a payload of 1,360 lbs, with a gross vehicle weight rating of 7,800 lbs. That payload figure includes passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight, so it fills up faster than the truck’s curb weight of 6,440 lbs might suggest.

Towing tops out lower than other Ram 1500 trims because the TRX’s long-travel off-road suspension is softer and less stable under static trailer load than a standard truck setup. A Class III, 2-inch receiver hitch comes standard on tow-equipped models, and Ram recommends a weight-distribution hitch for anything over roughly 5,000 lbs.

For the full year-by-year towing and payload breakdown across every TRX model year, see our Ram TRX towing capacity guide. That guide also covers how the rating compares to earlier and later TRX generations.

2024 Ram 1500 TRX Suspension Ground Clearance and Off-Road Specs

Ground clearance sits at 11.8 inches, with a 30.2-degree approach angle and 23.5-degree departure angle. The TRX rides on Bilstein Black Hawk e2 remote-reservoir shocks delivering 13 inches of front suspension travel and 14 inches in the rear, nearly double what a standard Ram 1500 offers.

Standard equipment includes an electronic-locking rear differential, full underbody skid plating, and a 98 percent high-strength steel frame built for repeated high-speed impacts rather than occasional trail use. Tires are LT325/65R18 all-terrain units mounted to 18×9-inch wheels, which works out to roughly 35 inches in overall diameter, with beadlock-capable wheels available as an option.

That suspension travel figure matters more than it might look on paper. Standard Ram 1500 trims max out well under half the TRX’s 14 inches of rear travel. That gap is the entire reason the TRX can run at sustained high speed over rough terrain without the chassis bottoming out.

2024 Ram 1500 TRX Price by Trim and Final Edition

The base 2024 Ram 1500 TRX starts at $96,340 plus a $1,995 destination charge. Ram closed out the model year with the 6.2L Supercharged V8 Final Edition, priced from $117,625 plus the same $1,995 destination fee, for a total starting price of $119,620.

Ram capped Final Edition production at up to 4,000 units worldwide, sold alongside the standard, non-Final Edition TRX. Both versions are mechanically identical. The Final Edition’s added cost goes toward three exclusive colors, Satin Titanium beadlock-capable wheels, Patina interior stitching, and a build-numbered center console badge.

Every 2024 TRX, base or Final Edition, comes only as a Crew Cab with the 5-foot-7-inch bed. There is no Quad Cab or long-bed option on this trim, which keeps the wheelbase short relative to the truck’s overall length and helps with off-road maneuverability.

Buyers could still option a non-Final-Edition 2024 TRX with packages like the TRX Level 2 Equipment Group, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, or Mopar accessories such as a bed-mounted spare tire carrier. The Final Edition bundles its exclusive content as standard rather than as an optional package.

2024 Ram 1500 TRX Dimensions and Fuel Economy

The TRX measures 232.9 inches long with an 88-inch width that runs roughly 8 inches wider than a standard Ram 1500, on a 145.1-inch wheelbase. Seating holds five across two rows, with 45.2 inches of rear legroom thanks to the long wheelbase.

EPA fuel economy is rated at 10 mpg city, 14 mpg highway, and 12 mpg combined, running on premium unleaded fuel from a 33-gallon tank. That works out to a range of roughly 330 to 460 miles per tank depending on driving conditions. Curb weight comes in at 6,440 lbs, which is part of why the towing and payload figures sit lower than other engine options in the Ram 1500 lineup.

Standard interior tech includes a 12-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with split-screen capability and tow-specific navigation. A head-up display, digital rearview mirror, and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system are available as options on top of the standard 10-speaker setup.

2024 Ram 1500 TRX vs 2025 Ram 1500 RHO What Changes

Ram closed out 6.2L Supercharged V8 production at the end of 2023, making the 2024 model year the last run of the original 702 hp TRX. For 2025, the off-road performance slot in the Ram 1500 lineup went to the new RHO, built around a twin-turbocharged 3.0L Hurricane inline-six rated around 540 horsepower. Ram has been explicit that the RHO is a different truck on a different platform, not a direct TRX replacement.

At the time, Ram brand CEO Tim Kuniskis described the Final Edition as closing a chapter rather than ending the TRX story outright. That turned out to be accurate. The supercharged V8 TRX sat out the 2025 and 2026 model years entirely before Ram resurrected it.

Ram brought the nameplate back for the 2027 model year as the Ram 1500 SRT TRX, reviving the same 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 at an even higher 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque. The return also marked the relaunch of Ram’s SRT performance division, last used on a Ram truck in 2006. For drivers comparing acceleration and top speed across TRX generations, see our Ram TRX top speed benchmarks.

That return makes the 2024 model the last of a specific, lower-output TRX generation rather than the end of the nameplate. Values on clean 2021 to 2024 trucks, and especially the 4,000-unit Final Edition, are likely to hold up well as the first chapter of a story that turned out not to be finished.

The 2024 Ram 1500 TRX Closes Out the First V8 Era

The 2024 Ram 1500 TRX delivers 702 horsepower, 8,100 lbs of towing capacity, and a starting price of $96,340 before destination. It closed out the original supercharged V8 generation that ran from 2021 through 2024, ahead of the 2025 RHO and the more powerful 2027 SRT TRX that followed it.

Whether you are shopping a used 2024 TRX or just tracking how the nameplate evolved, these are the numbers that define this specific model year. The Final Edition’s limited 4,000-unit run gives this particular truck a collector angle that earlier TRX years do not share.

If you are cross-shopping a 2024 TRX against other Ram 1500 engine options, consider what you actually need the truck to do. For everyday towing rather than off-road performance, the standard 5.7L Hemi V8 and 3.6L Pentastar V6 trims get you more usable capacity per dollar. The TRX exists for a different job, and the 2024 model year is where that original chapter ends.
