SPOTTED: 2021 Ram Rebel TRX Caught Wearing Laramie Longhorn Fascia:

[VoiceOfReason]

35's ?

I suspect that, unlike the Raptor, the TRX will come from the factory capable of fitting 37s, but will come stock with 35s (for fuel economy ratings and other reasons). Raptor owners have to replace fenders if they want to throw on 37s. I suspect TRX owners won't have to.

The guy who shot those pictures, is shooting more and some video for us. So wait till the weekend... you will finally see some of them in action.

I'll take the black one! Lol but seriously....I want a 5th gen cummins in a few years but I'd honestly take a 1 yr used TRX for sure

I suspect that the max towing will be compromised due to the suspension. Not unlike the PW in the 2500 range.

Somehow I see towing as low on the list of priorities for a TRX buyer

Really hoping these aren’t the final fenders/bedsides. Yuck.

Also, the front end doesn’t look as wide as a stock raptor(?). Hoping the lug mismatch is a clue that front end is still in development and that the TRX will be a wide factory mid-travel (like raptors).

These are mules. Designed to just appear like someone customized a RAM.
That is just a Laramie with fender flares

It was a low priority for me as well when I bought my Raptor in '17. Then I towed with it a few times. The turbos were spooled all day long and got 10 mpg towing a 6X12 with two ADV bikes/gear in it

How’s our motor vs the Raptor?

Absolutely. That is the sacrifice - the Raptor tows somewhere in the 8,000 lb. range. I don't expect the TRX will be significantly higher. My understanding is that towing requires a stiff suspension to manage heavy loads. You're not going to get that on an off-road truck designed for speed.
Fortunately for me, my current ride only has about 195 horsepower/260 lb.ft of torque, so the TRX will tow like a champ compared to that thing (which I think maxes out around the 4,000 lb. mark).

Confidence is very high that the Ram Rebel TRX will not be featured at the Texas State Fair this year. I have seen what will be unveiled and I will not steal FCA’s thunder regarding that announcement, but rest assured, it has nothing to do with the TRX. This supports my previous assertion that it is still too early in the business cycle for FCA to be discussing a product so far in the future (Q3, 2020 rumored).
