Every TRX comes with enough underbody plating to protect a Brink's truck, Bilstein remote-reservoir dampers, an electronic-locking rear differential, and gigantic 15.0-inch front brakes. Ram says the half-ton Hellcat can also ford up to 32 inches of water. It rolls on a set of massive 35-inch all-terrain tires mounted on 18-inch wheels that contribute to the truck's 11.8 inches of ground clearance. Along with a reinforced steel frame, it boasts a beefed-up suspension built to bend and bound with more than 13 inches of travel. Of course, the TRX is meant to play in the mud, rocks, and sand too. Still, its supercharged V-8 is ready to emit exciting sounds from its exhaust pipes. Despite its hefty curb weight and huge footprint, the Hellcat-powered Ram is surprisingly refined and easy to handle on paved roads. That makes it the quickest pickup we've ever tested. During our testing, the TRX shot to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds and completed the quarter-mile in 12.3 seconds at 110 mph. More popularly known as the Hellcat engine, this specific version produces 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, which is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. This transfer case does split the power over the 2 rear axles.Hiding between the TRX's bulging fenders and below its scooped hood is a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8. The vehicle does have a second transfer case (Dana), mounted in front of the second axle.axles: Both front and read axles are Dana 60, 4.10:1 ratio.The boxed frame is now standard on Ram trucks and the air suspension is now available as an option. The V10 petrol engine was later for some time offered on Ram trucks. Some of the technology made it to production vehicles. The T-Rex concept vehicle was probably to niche market for a mass manufacture like Dodge Ram. And the 3500 dually is still a decent compromise for most customers. It would be much more expensive to build compared to a 3500 dually (twin rear tires). The Dodge management didn’t see a market for this vehicle. The vehicle never made it into production. Some sources indicate that Dodge did build multiple test vehicles during the development of the T-Rex 6圆. Which indicates Dodge was looking for feedback from the press. Journalist did have the opportunity to drive the 6圆 prototype vehicle. This prototype is much more than just a showcase vehicle. The 3-axle setup did also result in a short rear overhang, which improved vehicle stability while pulling a heavy trailer. This did improve the off-road capabilities of the vehicle and made the vehicle more manoeuvrable compared to a Ram 3500 (shorter wheelbase and narrower rear axle). By using a 6圆 drive, the vehicle could use single tires on the rear axle. The V10 engine was chosen for its pulling power. The marketing at Dodge did see the Ram 6圆 as a comfortable heavy tow vehicle. The development on the Dodge Ram T-Rex (Technology Research Experimental vehicle) stared in August 1995. It never made it into production, despite the fact it was well engineered and journalists did like the way it drives. The V10 powered Dodge Ram 6圆 was a showcase of technology that later appeared in Ram vehicles. This prototype vehicle was presented in 1997.
