Ram is doing that thing automakers do best when they have something loud and exciting on the way: letting the internet fill in the blanks. A new teaser posted by the brand shows a windblown sand dune, a date, and just enough engine noise to get truck fans leaning in closer. The closing line, “Power will be reborn,” is basically the kind of wink that tells you this is not about a fuel-sipping trim package or a new wheel design.
The vibe of the clip is pure desert runner, and the soundtrack is the real giveaway. It is faint, but it sure comes across like a V-8 rumble, which immediately puts “TRX” back on everyone’s lips. Ram also teased the moment with a caption that plays up the roar of the desert winds, and the reveal date is locked in for January 1, 2026. Considering Ram already reversed course by bringing the Hemi V-8 back into the 1500 lineup, the timing makes sense. The brand has been leaning into enthusiast energy again, and the TRX is the easiest way to put an exclamation point on that message.
What we expect, assuming this is the revived TRX, is a return to supertruck business as usual: big power, aggressive presence, and suspension hardware meant for going fast where it probably should not. The last TRX made 702 hp from its supercharged 6.2-liter V-8, and it would be shocking if Ram did not aim higher this time, especially with Ford’s F-150 Raptor R sitting at 720 hp. That does not mean it needs a massive leap to win hearts, though. TRX fans are not only chasing a number, they want that unmistakable sound and the kind of throttle response that makes a truck feel like it has no right being that quick.
Until New Year’s Day, it is still a lot of educated guessing, but the pieces line up. Stellantis leadership has already signaled the TRX is coming back, the teaser is dripping with desert-performance cues, and the market is clearly ready for a renewed horsepower fight. If Ram shows up with a TRX that keeps the attitude, adds a bit more punch, and sharpens the overall package, 2026 is about to start with a bang for anyone who misses the glory days of loud, unapologetic performance trucks.
