One of our eagled eyed spy photographers, caught this 2019 Ram 1500 Crew Cab Big Horn 4x4 out and about on Michigan public roads near the FCA US Tech Center. However, if you look closely it carries much bigger aggressive tires, a lift as well as a black roll bar in the bed. This vehicle is quite unique, considering that the 2019 Ram 1500 has not gone on sale officially yet.

We have talked to many of our sources about the photos. A couple of them have stated that this is in fact the first 2021 Ram 1500 Rebel TRX prototype. Yes, as we reported the Rebel TRX will make it to production this generation of the Ram 1500. This prototype seems to be an early suspension mule for the upcoming Rebel TRX.

As we have stated in our post about the 2021 Rebel TRX model, there will be in fact two models of the truck. Yes, one of those two models will be just like the 2016 Ram 1500 TRX Concept and be powered by a 6.2L HEMI HELLCAT V8. However, we have information from our sources that the HELLCAT powered model will not be “detuned” like the concept to 585 horsepower; but will feature the full 707 horsepower of the HELLCAT motor. The other model of the upcoming TRX will feature an all-new HEMI SRT based V8 and will be the entry level model and will feature over 500 horsepower.

The pictures show that the Rebel TRX development is well underway. This model will more than likely debut sometime next year. It will be in production sometime during the 2021 model year according to our inside sources. Check back for more details as they become available.

I was just thinking today, something has to break on this TRX or 5th gen 2500.

Thanks for the story. Can not wait for more info. Will keep looking, hoping and dreaming til the reality hits the dealers...then come big decisions

Great times.

Everyone has to remember this is just a suspension mule. That is why it looks like a Big Horn 4x4. The production model will look drastically different.

Can't really say it was hiding in plain sight, but it had me fooled.This is very welcome news as it is more evidence of the progress on the project. I'm looking forward to shouting the details from a mountaintop to irritate the naysayers.Ram This!(lowers cup to fill with competitor tears . . . raises cup to drink)

@VoiceOfReason Nice to see you here. It's definitely exciting seeing the first physical evidence of the TRX running around.
