Confirmed: Ram 1500 TRX coming back to Australia with more powerful supercharged V8

Ram will revive the TRX pickup with an even more potent supercharged V8, ending a two-year absence

Ram has confirmed that the iconic TRX is returning to the Australian lineup, and the news will resonate far beyond that market. After nearly two years without a Hemi V8 option in the local Ram 1500 range, the new SRT-badged performance hero will once again top the lineup in early 2027, this time with an even more powerful supercharged V8 under the hood.

With its aggressive stance, enhanced suspension, and prodigious power, it is built for desert running and dune climbing, which makes it a natural fit for the Kingdom’s terrain and driving culture. It sits at the very top of the Ram 1500 ladder, above more conventional luxury and work-oriented trims.

The primary rival is the Ford F-150 Raptor, long considered the benchmark in this class. Buyers may also cross-shop the Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 or the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, though none of those offer quite the same blend of supercharged muscle and heritage that the SRT badge carries.
