Ram Trucks Australia has announced that the 1500 TRX, the supercharged V8 Hemi bruiser last sold here in 2025 will return to our shores in the first half of 2027. After a brief hiatus in the US, the upgraded TRX now features SRT branding and even more power from its 6.2-litre supercharged Hemi V8 engine: 777hp (580kW) compared to the 702hp (523kW) of the pre-updated model.

The TRX SRT’s V8 also makes 920Nm of torque, and it sprints from 0-60mph (0-97km/h) in just 3.5 seconds, or the same as a current-shape BMW M5. The quarter mile sprint is done and dusted in just 12.2 seconds, too.

According to Ram Trucks Australia, “several hundred” Aussie customers have already tried to place pre-orders for the model following confirmation the performance pick-up was returning to the US in January 2026. When it was on sale locally, almost 1000 units of the TRX were sold delivered.

“We know there is a lot of passion for the TRX in Australia, which is why we have worked hard to secure production out of the US for our market,” said Ram Trucks Australia general manager Jeff Barber.

“Supply of the new TRX will initially be restricted because demand is off the charts in the US, however the factory has been incredibly supportive of the Australian market and we are pleased to confirm the TRX is coming back.”

A complete list of standard equipment for the TRX SRT is yet to be announced, but it will be available in six colours: Bright White, Diamond Black, Forged Blue, Molten Red, Serrano Green and Spitfire Orange.
