2027 Ram SRT TRX: What Actually Changed, and What Nobody Knows Yet

The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX makes 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque from the same 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V8 architecture as the outgoing truck, a gain of 75 hp and 30 lb-ft over the 2021-2024 Ram 1500 TRX. It starts at $99,995 plus a $2,595 destination charge. Production began August 3, 2026 at Sterling Heights Assembly in Michigan, the same plant that built every 2021-2024 TRX, and this truck is the first launch of the relaunched SRT division. That is the entire confirmed picture two weeks into customer deliveries. Everything else, including 0-60 time, EPA fuel economy, and tow and payload ratings, has not been published by Ram as of this writing.

The power number, before and after

The headline change is the engine tune, not a new engine. Both trucks use the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI, but the 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX picks up a meaningful bump over the truck it replaces.

Seventy-five horsepower and 30 lb-ft is a real jump for the same displacement and boost architecture, and it puts the 2027 truck ahead of where the last TRX ended its run. Ram has not said what changed inside the engine to get there, whether it's supercharger pulley ratio, boost pressure, calibration, or some combination, and until the factory publishes something specific, guessing at internals would be exactly the kind of invented detail this site does not print. If you are cross-shopping the outgoing truck, the used TRX buying guide covers what to check on a 2021-2024 example before you sign.

What it costs

Starting MSRP on the 2027 SRT TRX is $99,995, plus $2,595 destination. That is the number Ram has published; it is not a fully-optioned or as-tested price, and neither Ram nor this site has a trim or options breakdown to build one from yet. Anyone quoting you an out-the-door number this early is quoting a dealer markup, not a factory structure.

For context, our own live-market tracking puts the average asking price on the 206 currently listed 2027 SRT TRX trucks at roughly $110,340, which tells you dealers are marking up over MSRP on a truck that just started shipping, not that the factory price moved. Compare that to where the outgoing generation sits on the used market right now:

A clean 2024 TRX and a new 2027 are converging in price faster than most buyers expect, which is worth sitting with before you write a check on either one. The full breakdown of what that live market looks like, including how those averages move week to week, is in what the live market actually shows for TRX pricing.

Production and the SRT relaunch

The last 2021-2024 TRX rolled off the line at Sterling Heights Assembly in February 2024, and the plant sat without a TRX in production for roughly two and a half years. The 2027 SRT TRX restarted production there on August 3, 2026, and it is the first vehicle out of the relaunched SRT division, not a refresh of an existing nameplate that never stopped building. That distinction matters for parts and supplier continuity: a division that just relaunched is standing up its supply chain fresh, not picking up where 2024 left off, and that is a genuine unknown discussed below.

One thing worth correcting directly because it circulates online: SRT was not relaunched in January 2026. The only date Ram has confirmed is the August 3, 2026 production start. If you have seen a January date somewhere, it is wrong, and there is no announcement from Stellantis backing it up.

What is genuinely not known yet

This is the section that matters more than the horsepower number, because it is the one nobody can shortcut with a press release.

0-60 time. Ram has not published an official acceleration figure for the 2027 SRT TRX. The 2021-2024 truck ran 4.5 seconds to 60 mph, but that number does not carry over automatically just because torque went up 30 lb-ft. Gearing, tire compound, launch control calibration, and curb weight all move that number, and none of those specs have been confirmed publicly for the 2027 truck.

EPA fuel economy. No rating has been published. Do not trust any number attached to a "2027 SRT TRX MPG" search result right now; it is either a guess or a misattributed figure from a different truck.

Tow and payload ratings. The 2021-2024 TRX topped out at 8,100 lb max tow and 1,310 lb max payload. Whether the 2027 truck matches, beats, or falls short of those numbers has not been stated by Ram. A power increase does not automatically move a tow rating; frame, cooling, and axle hardware decide that, and none of it has been detailed.

Transmission. The outgoing TRX ran the TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic. Whether the 2027 truck uses the same transmission, a revised calibration of it, or something else has not been confirmed in anything we consider reliable.

Trim structure and options. There is no published trim ladder, no option-package pricing, and no build-and-price tool detail beyond the base MSRP and destination charge.

Reliability. There is none to report. The truck has been in customer hands for about two weeks as of this writing. Two weeks of ownership is not a data set, it's an anecdote pool, and any list of "known problems" for the 2027 SRT TRX that you find right now is either fabricated or lifted from the 2021-2024 truck and mislabeled. When this site has actual failure patterns tied to VIN ranges and repair orders, we will publish them here and not before.

Should you buy one now

If you want the newest hardware and you can absorb the fact that nobody, including Ram's own engineers on a service floor, has three years of failure data on this specific calibration yet, the 2027 truck is a straightforward buy at $99,995 plus destination, assuming your dealer isn't stacking a market adjustment on top. If you want a known quantity, a 2021-2024 TRX with service records and a documented history is the safer money, and at current used pricing you can land one for tens of thousands less than a marked-up 2027. Owners cross-shopping the newer twin-turbo six-cylinder truck in Ram's lineup should also look at how the TRX compares to the RHO before deciding which powertrain philosophy fits how they actually use the truck.

The short version

• The 2027 SRT TRX makes 777 hp and 680 lb-ft, up 75 hp and 30 lb-ft from the 2021-2024 TRX's 702 hp and 650 lb-ft, from the same 6.2L supercharged HEMI family.
• Starting MSRP is $99,995 plus $2,595 destination; anything beyond that is dealer markup, not a factory price.
• Production started August 3, 2026 at Sterling Heights Assembly, the first launch of the relaunched SRT division. SRT was not relaunched in January 2026.
• 0-60 time, EPA rating, tow and payload figures, transmission confirmation, and any reliability data for the 2027 truck do not exist yet. Do not trust a number you find attached to any of those questions right now.
