It’s been 4 years since the first word of a RAM Rebel TRX came out. Back in June 2018 FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) confirmed the truck got the go-ahead for production.
Initially, the truck was destined as an off-road half-ton, but then came news of a possible supercharged engine, making it the most powerful factory-engined half-ton truck ever. Setting the tone for the reveal was a video of explosions, fire, dinosaur roars, heavy rock music, engine roars, jets, rockets, and the whine of a supercharger.
