News, New Releases
The automotive world is buzzing once again—the legendary Ram 1500 TRX, once thought to be gone for good, may be making a dramatic return. And if the latest leaks are to be believed, it could be coming back with a roar—potentially bringing HEMI V8 power back under the hood.
When Ram announced the end of TRX production in 2023, it seemed like a definitive shift for Stellantis, signaling a move away from eight-cylinder powerhouses in favor of more fuel-efficient six-cylinder engines. However, recent leaks and insider reports suggest that the company is at least considering a reversal of that strategy, with a new version of the super truck possibly arriving in 2026.
According to various sources, the next TRX could be powered by one of two V8 options: the 797-horsepower Redeye engine, previously seen in the Dodge Durango, or a modified Hellcat producing 717 horsepower. While nothing is set in stone, these reports have given enthusiasts hope that the TRX will retain its raw power and unmistakable character.
This potential change in direction may be influenced by Stellantis' recent leadership shake-up. Former CEO Carlos Tavares, known for pushing electrification and phasing out V8 engines, is no longer at the helm. While Stellantis now operates under an interim leadership committee led by Chairman John Elkann, a permanent CEO is expected to be appointed within the next three months. If the new leadership embraces a V8-friendly approach, the return of the TRX could be just the beginning—potentially paving the way for the resurgence of high-performance gasoline engines across the lineup.
For now, nothing is confirmed, but the signs are promising. If these reports prove accurate, 2026 could mark the return of one of the most exhilarating trucks ever built.
