The 2.5-inch bypass shocks use factory mounts, but performance rear coil springs were put into the factory-spec positions. The Ram 1500 link coil rear suspension system shares its basic architecture with desert racing trucks the frame's hard points for the suspension were unchanged. RAM REBEL TRX FULLThe goal was to have a smooth ride over smaller bumps, and when the bumps become mounds, to have high reaction speed and heat dissipation to avoid shocks while keeping full traction. The front suspension uses custom-built upper and lower A-arms with special attention to caster and camber angles during suspension cycling. The frame is "virtually unchanged" from the standard one. Inside, it adds not only the six-point harnesses but leather/suede seats, carbon-fiber trim, and new materials and colors. The unique from grille was needed for extra airflow. The Ram Rebel TRX is a 4x4 truck designed and produced by the FCA US LLC design studio for the 2016 Texas State Fair, introduced on September 29th of that year as an engineering, design and consumer-interest study. The locker is available on all modes and "commits both rear wheels to traction at the same speed, spreads the torque load and maximizes the tractive effort (power put to the ground) in full-throttle maneuvers." The rear axle is a Dynatrac Pro 60, which uses a selectable electric locker to 35-spline, 1 1/2 inch axle shafts. The 4x4 performance control system works with the BorgWarner 44-45 transfer case, with user-selectable normal, wet/snow, off-road, and Baja modes. The transmission is the "TorqueFlite Eight," an eight-speed automatic, with paddle shifters. It's the same transfer case used by the Rebel and Outdoorsman. Why the Borg-Warner 44-45 transfer case? It doesn't have an automatic mode, but it locks fully, which is better for durability off-road or in deep snow. To support all that suspension movement, they had to make the fenders six inches wider than those of a normal Rebel, resulting in an hourglass shape (as seen from above). Jim Morrison said it could "handle the harshest terrains at speeds over 100 mph," aided by a full 13 inches of suspension travel, at all four corners. Why, people ask, is it "only" 575 hp, when the Challenger does 707 with the same engine? Our guess is two-fold: so you can still control the truck, and because it's a 4x4, and the powertrain parts (particularly the front differential) can only take so much. RAM REBEL TRX DRIVERIt has side-exiting exhausts ahead of the rear tires, built into the rock rails steel bumpers, skid plates, and "all the cooling you'd want." It has two spares, and six-point harnesses to hold the driver and passengers in.ĥ75 horses easily beats the Ford Raptor's 450 horsepower. Will it be built? If it is, it'll have to wait in line behind the next-generation Ram Heavy Duty.įirst shown as a surprise launch at the Texas State Fair, the concept Ram 1500 Rebel TRX was powered by a 575 horsepower supercharged 6.2 liter Hemi, with 37 inch Toyo tires and six-piston calipers.
