- 2021 Ram TRX

Just a few comments I liked:
"Before driving it, I'd dismissed this truck as a sort of wannabe Raptor," senior features editor Jonny Lieberman said. "Man, was I wrong. Like the Challenger Hellcat when it first roared onto city streets, 50 feet of driving is all it takes to make you fall in love with this truck."
Especially if those first 50 feet or so are part of a quarter mile. The Ram 1500 TRX rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds and on through the quarter in 12.7 seconds at 106. 3 mph. That makes the TRX not only the quickest pickup we've ever tested but also quicker than performance cars like the Ford Mustang Bullitt, Mercedes-AMG GT 53, and Subaru WRX STI S209 (to name a few). The Ram—despite its heavy-duty off-road tires—even puts up respectable braking and handling numbers, coming to a stop from 60 mph in 130 feet and lapping the figure eight in 28.4 seconds at 0.61g average.
As for efficiency, well, there's no getting around this: The TRX's fuel economy is appallingly bad. Even allowing for the fact that supertrucks (like supercars) aren't necessarily held to the same moral efficiency standards that a "regular" pickup or car is, the TRX's 10/14/12 mpg city/highway/combined EPA rating is just plain awful.
Fun Facts:
0-30: 1.5 Sec
0-40: 2.1 Sec
0-50: 3.0 Sec
0-60: 4.1 Sec
Quarter Mile: 12.7 sec @ 106.3 mph
702 hp @ 6,100 rpm
650 lb-ft @ 4,800 rpm
