Jared I am thinking that the Mopar Hood scope seen at the LA Auto on the Mopar 2019 Ram 1500 display would not be the hood assembly.I say this because that Mopar offered hood assembly works in conjunction with the Mopar aftermarket airflow kit.This hood design smacks of a bit of Alfa Romeo design input from FCA Formula One program.I like this directional airflow grille hood assembly look but if you say it won't happen so be it.I like this hood design..Also notice Jared the fender design with the integrated Ram fender flares these might be a painted option during ordering....

I have a buddy who owns a dealership and I asked him if he got any info on the rebel trx. All that he has now is 2 allocated but not processed and that price could range from 100k - 120k CAD

I am not seeing the inlet direction from Mopar performance hood for the 5.7L,still think that hood design will not work for air coming through that inlet it would have to reverse direction and follow a long plastic inlet channel to the front inlet....

This was huge interest for me, but not just doesn't do it any more. It might peak my interest if they can get the 0-60 in the sub 4 range but that might be a long shot. Ram should be shifting their focus to electric before Ford wipes them clean when the time comes.

I just think the distance from the front grille assembly to the air inlet does not look the distance to meet that 5.7L Mopar hood.So part hood cutout for inlet and top of grille assembly will serve as floor going into the inlet, also exiting from the air filter shows a downward to the front so the supercharger nose piece appears to be may be a redesign to fit the airflow change...

Electric trucks that can tow the standard light duty amounts, have payloads of that amount, and can get 400 miles on a charge are a LONGGGGGGG way off. Ram isn’t missing out in anything.

@bravo1 I noticed you were hesitant to believe @Jared B

You do realize in most all Motor1 articles about the TRX, 5th Gen Rams or Mopar Insider's is their source. That would be @Jared B and his team.

I can not wait to see this thing.

And then the street truck that almost has to be coming soon after.

You mentioned the race teams that are using it.

I sure hope to see this thing hitting the 4x4 Jamboree tough truck competition(especially Bloomsburg). That will be cool.

HI DD,Yea we all have sourse's in Detroit,either UAW,Management,etc,etc vendor course working on a project.The main thing is the interest in the truck.The truck was seen running part of the Mint 400 course that was open by BLM.Much like a stock pre/current production trucks, the big three like to play in the stock class of their choosing either in SoCal,Nev, Score Events or Baja style events, it is just good press sense...Ford,GM,Toyota they all do it...I see no reason at all that Ram Marketing is not looking at this as a future product launch ad campaign.A 840 hp 2021 Ram TRX is currently running around according to his source.We all saw the 2 directions early on where we were going to see 2 different power level 6.2 SC running then we were down to just one.Well RAM's TRX could have different trim levels with in this truck so that the buyer has a say base at 54,000 but can climb to 84,300 for say a 840hp version of the truck as well down the road.Trucks in higher trim coming down a limited capacity production plant has to have the most options trucks to make the most profit.So we see this in all Jeep/Dodge/Ram.Mopar is going to have a field day with this truck.Baja kit includes the following options...

1- A stripped out basic (1 cloth seat and almost nothing else) 2018 Demon was about $85k when the cheapest Challenger was about $27k. No way a 4WD TRX with the same engine would be a similar price when a 4WD 1500 Crew Tradesman starts at $38k.
2- The Demon was only good for 840 HP with a race ECU, filter, and 110 octane (in the crate full of drag racing gear you got with a Demon). Seriously doubt that's happening for a truck.

Then again, FCA does some crazy **** sometimes. But a 'Demon' TRX wouldn't happen for a few years after the 'normal' TRX anyway.
