Dodge RAM 1500 TRX overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior of the 2020 Dodge RAM 1500 TRX is immediately recognizable by its aggressive stance and wider body, which is expanded by 150 mm compared to standard trims. It features a unique blacked-out grille with massive RAM lettering, a functional hood scoop that supplies half of the engine's air intake, and widened fender flares housing 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory all-terrain tires. A 300 mm ground clearance allows the TRX to ford water depths of up to 813 mm. Additional design touches include dual exhaust tips, tinted rear tail lights, and available two-tone body finishes.
Interior
Inside the cabin, the TRX replaces the standard rotary dial shifter with a traditional console-mounted shift lever and features a flat-bottom steering wheel. The dashboard centers around a vertical 12-inch touchscreen infotainment display, which includes dedicated performance and off-road monitoring screens to track parameters like steering angle and differential status. High-end materials such as leather and Alcantara are available alongside carbon fiber accents and red contrast stitching. High-tech conveniences include a 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, a head-up display, and heated and ventilated seats in both rows.
Performance
Power comes from a 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8 engine producing 711 horsepower and 882 Nm of torque. Paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission and a full-time four-wheel-drive system, this massive truck accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and passes the quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited to 190 km/h. To manage this power off-road, the vehicle uses Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive dampers with remote reservoirs, allowing 330 mm of suspension travel. Braking is handled by large 381 mm front disc brakes.
Practicality
Despite its performance focus, the TRX remains a functional pickup with a cargo bed length of 1712 mm and a payload capacity of 594 kg. The cabin seats five passengers comfortably, offering ample space for daily driving or family road trips. Standard features like dual-zone climate control, comprehensive cup holders, and various storage cubbies ensure everyday usability. However, due to its massive dimensions, including a length of nearly 6 meters and a width exceeding 2.2 meters, navigating tight parking spaces can be challenging.
Safety and tech
The TRX is equipped with modern driver-assist systems, including adaptive cruise control with automatic braking, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a driver drowsiness alert system. A 360-degree camera system, front and rear parking sensors, and a digital head-up display assist with maneuverability. The lighting setup features adaptive full-LED headlights, while the cabin includes a wireless smartphone charger, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility.
Buyer notes
When shopping for a 2020 Dodge RAM 1500 TRX, buyers should look closely at how the cabin is optioned, as standard trims can be upgraded with premium packages containing leather/Alcantara upholstery, ventilated seating, and the 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. As a dedicated off-road truck, verify the condition of the Bilstein adaptive dampers and the underbody protection. Note that actual trim options, packages, and exact engine output figures may vary slightly depending on the country of import.
