We’ve known for a while now that Ram is planning to produce a Ram 1500 Rebel TRX to take on the Ford F-150 Raptor. (Its Raptor-fighting mission is right there in the TRX name.)

At the heart of the Ram TRX will be Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’s supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat Hemi V8 engine found in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye, among others. Recent reports from Allpar and Mopar Insiders offer further details on what to expect.

The Rebel 1500 TRX will look an awful lot like the picture above

Allpar sourcing says the Rebel TRX will resemble the drawing above from FCA’s Drive for Design flier, with flared arches for a wide stance and a dual vent hood. It’s not all that dissimilar from the Rebel TRX Concept truck revealed a couple years back.

The Rebel 1500 TRX will offer more than 700 horsepower

Both Allpar and Mopar Insiders note that the Ram 1500 Rebel TRX will have more than 700 hp. Mopar Insiders confirms it will be the full 707 hp found engine in other vehicles with that engine. The original TRX Concept, by contrast, offered a mere 575 hp.

The Rebel 1500 TRX will borrow from Alfa Romeo

Mopar Insiders says the Rebel TRX will get extended versions of the aluminum paddle shifters used in the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio. It will also use the precise eight-speed ZF automatic transmission used on a wide range of European luxury cars.

The Rebel 1500 TRX will be fancy — and expensive.

Mopar Insiders says the truck will load up on fanciness and tech for the interior; the as a result, the base price is expected to be around $70,000, comparable to the F-150 Raptor with its optional luxury package.

The Rebel 1500 TRX will arrive soon.

Mopar Insiders pegs the launch date for Sept. 8, 2020.
