Two New Ram SRT Trucks: My Picks

What if I told you Ram has two new SRT products coming soon? That’s the word for the next 90 days. The big question is which ones. Many folks jump to TRX. But here’s the thing. TRX was never an SRT branded vehicle. Not on the wheel. Not on the caps. The engine wore the SRT badge. The truck did not.

So what counts as SRT? Is it the team that tuned it? The badge on the dash? The engine under the hood? We’ve seen both sides. Some 392 models wore SRT. Others did not. TRX and Wrangler 392 had SRT hands on them, yet no SRT logo. SRT naming scheme is as clear as mud.

Here’s how I see the two new SRT trucks shaping up.

Pick One: A Hellcat Street Truck

This one makes the most sense. Take the supercharged V8. Drop the lift and the skid plates. Keep it low, clean, and fast. That alone cuts thousands from the price. No Bilstein Blackhawk shocks. No heavy off-road parts. No extra steel to drag around town. Build it off a Big Horn, Laramie, or Limited. Give it wide tires, big brakes, a stout diff, and real cooling. Use the Tungsten front end for a sharp face.

Price target? Keep it in the $60–$70K range. That’s the sweet spot. If Ram tries $80K, it better come loaded. Styling cue? Take notes from the “Dude” concept. Clean. Simple. Street. Skip loud stripes. Make it look like money without trying hard.

Pick Two: TRX Returns at the Top End

TRX will likely sit at the high price. Think $80–$90K to start. I wish it were $70K. The first 2021 TRX was $69K. The 2021 Durango Hellcat sat near $82K. That gap made sense then. Today, I still want that gap. But be real. If Ram cuts TRX back to the $70Ks, used values crash. Owners get mad. That’s not a fight Ram wants. That is why I don’t see the TRX being cheap. I see a street Hellcat truck being cheaper and the TRX being closer to the Ford Raptor R prices in the $100k range when you start loading options.

Power? Don’t expect a Redeye. Reports point to the same 702 horsepower setup as 2024. I’m fine with that if the tuning is tight and durable.

A Third Option: SRT 392 Street Truck

If the second SRT isn’t TRX, it could be this. A 392 Hemi street truck with real SRT badging. Price it in the $50Ks. Give it the look and the sound. Save the big blower for the top truck. Slot this one as the daily fun buy. Good seats. Good tune. Great brakes. Simple.

Why I don’t expect another off-road SRT

Ram already covers that field. Warlock. Rebel. RHO. TRX. That’s four. Every price band is spoken for. Another off-road trim would just pile on and step on each others toes. They need more budget performance on road trucks not more desert runners.

The SRT question we still need to answer

What makes an SRT an SRT? Is it the logo, the team, or the power? We’ve seen 392 Hemi V8 vehcles wear SRT on some models. We’ve seen 392 show up as an R/T on others like the 2026 Durango RT. We’ve seen SRT team work on TRX and Wrangler 392 with no SRT badge on the off-roaders.

I’m asking the bosses to spell it out. When I get a clean answer, I’ll share it.

My final board

Two SRT products. Two price lanes.

• High end: TRX returns. ~$80–$90K. Off-road. Supercharger. Big stance.
• Street end: Hellcat street truck. ~$60–$70K. Lower. Lighter. Mean.

If the TRX isn’t counted as SRT, swap it for this:

• Street end: SRT 392 truck. ~$50Ks. Sound and style for less.

What I want to drive

Give me the Hellcat street truck. Lower ride. Wide rubber. Massive brakes. Strong diff. Real cooling. Clean cab with the big screen and the good wheel. Keep the chrome low. Make it loud when I want. Quiet when I don’t.

Let TRX stay the desert king. Let the street truck own the on-ramps.

Drop your take below. Which two do you see coming? TRX plus Hellcat street truck? Or TRX plus SRT 392? And if you had to pick one to park at home, which is it?
