It’s official: The Ram 1500 TRX is making a comeback. Newly appointed Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa confirmed the model’s revival during the company’s Q2 financial call, pointing to its ability to generate big margins for the brand.<\/p>\n

“The V-8 engine on versions, such as the Ram 1500 TRX, will deliver to us additional volumes but also accredited margins per unit,” Filosa told shareholders, according to Mopar Insiders<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Filosa didn’t provide details about when production would begin, but\u00a0Mopar Insiders<\/em>\u00a0cites unnamed, “well-placed” sources that claim the new TRX could hit dealerships as soon as January 2026. We’re inclined to trust Mopar Insiders’<\/em> source, given that they were the ones who predicted the TRX’s return way back in March<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There’s no word on what a new TRX would look like, though we can make some educated guesses. The previous truck used a Hellcat-sourced 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 making 702 horsepower. With Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis now also heading Stellantis’s SRT performance division<\/a>, we expect the forced induction V-8 to make a comeback. It’ll likely make more power, just to show up the 720-hp Raptor R<\/a>, but retain its off-road prowess and brutish, rugged design.<\/p>\n

The TRX’s return represents a small piece of Ram’s broader shift back to V-8s. The company confirmed the Hemi’s return to the 1500<\/a> for the 2026 model year and promises 25 new product announcements<\/a> within the next 18 months. So the TRX is just the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n

With fuel economy standards now essentially meaningless under the current administration, it’s likely Ram (and its sister brand, Dodge) will continue to lean into its eight-cylinder heritage without fear of being restricted by regulations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
