It’s tempting to get greedy and wonder: Why doesn’t the TRX get the fully hellish 707-plus horsepower? Because it needs a deep-sump truck oil pan capable of guaranteeing proper lubrication at wild off-roady angles and new exhaust manifolds. To cope with potential off-road dust and dirt, its intake features upper (hood scoop) and lower (grille) ram-air intake paths that make a U-turn to cause dust and debris to fall out. The alternator mounts way up high to support the truck’s 32-inch wading depth.
Also, only Dodges get Hellcats. Jeep doesn’t call the engine in the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk a Hellcat, either.
Ram’s estimates are that it’ll accelerate to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, to 100 mph in 10.5, and through the quarter mile in 12.9 at 108 mph on its way to a top speed of 118 mph. Just 118?! The 4x4 TRX needs off-road tires, and the best ones Ram could find—35 x 12.50-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territories—were only good for a “T” speed rating. That’s plenty fast; the Raptor’s S-rated tires are only good for 112 mph, and it’s governed to 107. It will still likely be the quickest pickup we’ve tested.

2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty
The heavy-duty truck world moves more slowly than other pickup classes, and progress comes in spurts. Take the Ford F-Series Super Duty, whose recent refresh included softer-edged styling, a new entry-level gas-fed V-8, a new high-output 6.7-liter turbodiesel V-8, and myriad small improvements like new bedside steps. Is it still basically the same truck as before? Absolutely, but it’s also a better Super Duty, however incrementally.
