Fox News car editor Gary Gastelu breaks down the features of the new Dodge Durango, which is ‘most powerful SUV ever’ toute.
The new 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is the most powerful light duty pickup ever. It can also be the most expensive.
The high-performance off-roader is powered by a 702 hp version of Fiat Chrysler ‘Hellcat’ V8, which was originally launched in the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat muscle car.
The starting price for the crew cab TRX is $ 71,690, which is less than some other Hellcat-equipped models, including the $ 88,895 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.

The TRX comes standard with four-wheel drive, supersized tires and a computer-controlled suspension system designed to handle everything from rock climbing to 100 mph desert, but there is a long list of options and accessories that make it easy to the price.

Check all the boxes to add features like radar cruise control, a head-up display, heated leather seats, a 19-speaker audio system, carbon fiber trim and a bed-mounted spare tire carrier and you can maximize the TRX at $ 100,585.
That will make it the first and only light-duty pickup to break the six-figure barrier when it goes on sale later this year.
Ram has not said how much it expects to sell, but Fiat Chrysler has moved about 10,000 Hellcat-powered models across its markets since 2015, offering a limited run of 702 Launch Edition TRXs starting at $ 92,010.
