Ram’s 777-HP TRX Bloodshot Night Edition Looks Even Wilder in Person

There’s a famous quote that says, “You don’t have to be loud to be unforgettable.” Well, the 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX didn’t get the memo, and on static display at the 2026 New York International Auto Show, the way this Bloodshot Night Edition looks in person leaves no doubt that there’s a monster of an engine under the hood, an impression that sticks with you even without hearing it rumble to life. The torn-effect graphics make it look like it just left the scene of a crime, which will leave easily overtaken traffic under no illusions about its potential. Considering a Ford Raptor R only makes 720 ponies, it’ll fall into the category of passed traffic, too.

The return of the SRT badge brings with it a 777-horsepower version of the famous 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI, and while the decals that stretch across the bulging bodywork and into the enormous nostril on the vented hood may seem a bit too obnoxious for some, for others, they’re proud calling cards of the most ridiculous truck on the planet.

2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX Bloodshot Night Edition Stands Tall

Taking pride of place on the Ram stand with scarlet paint acting as a beacon, the TRX Bloodshot stands out among its less performance-focused brethren, finished in less aggressive shades like blue, white, and grey. It’s wider and two inches taller than those other trucks and rides on 18-inch beadlock-capable wheels with 35-inch tires, all four of which are fed 680 lb-ft of torque through a reinforced eight-speed automatic transmission. Ram claims 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, and with a bold red RAM script in the front grille, it looks ready to bully slower traffic out of the way—something it’ll do on just about any surface.

Steel bumpers, composite fender flares, and enlarged exhaust tips all contribute to the menacing look while helping the truck be the best version of itself possible: an angry, whining dune basher with 11.8 inches of ground clearance and 13 and 14 inches of suspension travel front and rear, respectively. Thanks to Bilstein Black Hawk e2 dampers with secondary pistons, landing from a silly jump won’t be an uncomfortable experience, but should it get stuck for some reason, bright red recovery hooks are easy to spot. And speaking of comfort, the interior is rather well-appointed for something that looks so extreme on the outside.

2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX BNE Interior Is Sporty Luxury

With a mix of leather and suede with red contrast stitching and seatbelts, the cabin invites you to spend hours off-road, and while this certainly isn’t on par with something like a Rolls-Royce, it’s far from spartan in here. In the front, occupants can play with a huge 14.5-inch central touchscreen, and since it’s vertically oriented, it doesn’t feel overwhelming. Happily, there are a couple of physical knobs and buttons too. Those up front also benefit from heating, ventilating, and massaging seats, and those in the back don’t miss out too much either, thanks to heating and reclining for their perches. A few metallic accents (including the shifter, center console, vent surrounds, and pedals) add a bit of brightness to the cabin, and the overall vibe inside is a balance of comfort and performance-focused utilitarianism.

It still feels like a truck, but the moment your butt hits the seat, you know it’s a special truck that’ll blow your hair back. We expect similar things from the “regular” 2027 1500 SRT TRX when it goes on sale in the second half of the year with a starting price of $99,995 before delivery. Hopefully, soaring destination fees will slow their rise by then.
