Richard Hammond Takes His Daughter Out In His Ram 1500 TRX

A Bonding Experience Fueled by 702 Horsepower...

When it comes to the world of automotive enthusiasts, Richard Hammond is a household name. Known for his passion for high-performance vehicles and his adventures in the world of wheels, Hammond recently traded in his Dodge Charger SRT HELLCAT for something a bit more off-road oriented: the Ram 1500 TRX. The TRX, known for its remarkable power and off-road capabilities, is equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI HELLCAT V8 engine, boasting an impressive 702 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque.

In a recent video on the DriveTribe YouTube channel, Richard Hammond shared a unique experience with his daughter, Izzy, behind the wheel of this American powerhouse. It became evident that the HELLCAT power in the TRX is not just enticing; it makes this off-roader truly special.

The video showcases the pair taking the mighty TRX off-road on Hammond’s English property, and it’s an adventure that perfectly captures the essence of father-daughter bonding. The TRX’s power and off-road capabilities gave them the perfect canvas for creating unforgettable memories.

One particular highlight in the video is their playful escapade, where they decided to have some fun in a hay-filled area. With Izzy behind the wheel, the TRX’s powerful engine roared to life, and the truck effortlessly performed donuts, leaving tire tracks on the English countryside.

However, this act of youthful exuberance did have a moment of unintended consequence when some of the hay they were spinning around caught fire. Fortunately, their quick thinking and the aid of a well-placed foot swiftly extinguished the minor blaze.

Despite the minor hiccup, the video beautifully illustrates that the Ram 1500 TRX isn’t just a machine for off-road prowess; it’s a catalyst for creating priceless moments between family members. The thrill of the TRX’s power combined with the picturesque English countryside was a recipe for endless smiles and unforgettable memories.

For Richard Hammond, who has spent much of his life around high-performance vehicles, the Ram 1500 TRX offered a new dimension of automotive excitement. It’s a testament to the TRX’s exceptional engineering and the joy it brings to those who get behind its wheel. And in this case, it brought a father and his daughter closer together through the love of all things automotive.

However, there is a bittersweet note to this story. As the video showcases this remarkable bonding experience, it also hints at the end of an era for the Ram 1500 TRX as we know it. The iconic HEMI power that has defined this off-road beast is set to be replaced by a new twin-turbocharged HURRICANE I6 engine in 2025. While the future holds exciting possibilities, it’s hard not to feel a pang of nostalgia for the growling V8 that powered the TRX through its adventures.
