Return of the TRX? Ram Teases New High-Performance Street Truck
The clip appeared on UFC President and Ram ambassador Dana White’s Instagram page.
As far as teasers go, this latest one from Ram doesn’t tease much. But here’s what we can immediately tell: noise, burnouts, Dana White. The return of the Ram 1500 TRX, anyone?

In a short clip uploaded to Instagram on Thursday, May 14, we can see a silhouette of the UFC President and Ram ambassador White walking away from what looks to be a stanced pickup truck. Then, there’s some footage of a wheel doing a smoky burnout with a bright yellow brake caliper just in frame. After, there’s a snatch of a look at a truck doing a donut. We can see more yellow side decals, as well as a tailgate-mounted spoiler and sport bar. The rest of the truck is obscured by tire smoke. Finally, “THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET LOUD” flashes across the screen.
A 2021 Ram 1500 TRX
Nothing else official has been announced thus far, but we suspect this is Ram hinting at the return of the Ram 1500 TRX. The TRX debuted in 2021 but was discontinued after the 2024 model year. If it is indeed the new TRX, we’d imagine it’ll once again come with some sort of supercharged V-8 and be an absolute beast off-road. The Ram 1500 RHO exists, of course, but it’s still no TRX. Ram needs something with which to compete with the Ford F-150 Raptor R as well.
You can see the clip for yourself below. It’s all pretty TRX-ish, no?

I got into cars the way most people do: my dad. Since I was little, it was always something we’d talk about and I think he was stoked to have his kid share his interest. He’d buy me the books, magazines, calendars, and diecast models—everything he could do to encourage a young enthusiast. Eventually, I went to school and got to the point where people start asking you what you want to do with your life. Seeing as cars are what I love and writing is what I enjoy doing, combining the two was the logical next step. This dream job is the only one I’ve ever wanted. Since then, I’ve worked at Road & Track, Jalopnik, Business Insider, The Drive, and now MotorTrend, and made appearances on Jay Leno’s Garage, Good Morning America, The Smoking Tire Podcast, Fusion’s Car vs. America, the Ask a Clean Person podcast, and MotorTrend’s Shift Talkers. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and watching the Fast & Furious movies on repeat. Tokyo Drift is the best one.
