bring me a dream make her the cutest
see here to tell you about this very cool truck is mike koval jr he is the ram
brand chief executive officer tell us about this special truck well first of all mr jackson thank
you and mr davis and on behalf of all the men and women at ram we are truly humbled and honored to
be with you here today and certainly grateful for this opportunity and i now have the distinct
pleasure to introduce the quickest fastest and most powerful production truck in the world
the 2021 ram 1500 trx delivering 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque and underneath that
hood we of course have the legendary 6.2 liter supercharged hemi v8 but what makes this example
so rare is not only is it vin number one but it's one of only 702 launch edition models that
will ever be built and at ram we are built to serve and i am so thrilled to announce that 100
of the hammer price will go to the united way of southeastern michigan to benefit our veterans
and their families so thank you very much and let's have some fun out there shelley thank you
everyone it is an honor and pleasure to be up here again representing united way for southeastern
michigan this time the proceeds for this vehicle is going towards veterans and their families 44 of
families and households in southeastern michigan struggled to meet their basic needs and that was
pretty pandemic this mission is very personal to me because i am happily married to a navy vet as
well a sister to a marine vet and thank you thank you joseph then one all right here we go all right
hellcat hemi came out in 2017 initially was in the challenger srt hellcat 707 horsepower and we
kind of thought wow that's great it might make a maybe 500 or so well no since then
50 000 hellcat engines have been installed in various types of vehicles
including the demon and now yes the launch edition trx amazing only for mopar
702 horsepower what a beast you look at this and this is all designed about being off road
in fact when you go all the way into the trunk you can see what they've done with the spare tire is
they've mounted it in the back off-road style not underneath where it could damage or fall off it's
sitting up on top right there so this is all about going off-road 702 horsepower did i mention that
the mopar q is the rear axle that's a dana 60 which of course we all know and love
from 1966 on up in hemi four speeds and 444 speeds but this is somewhat
fortified the webbing from the differential cover to the actual tubes is wider
again to strengthen it for the off-road use this may well encounter but again dana 60 rear axle
350
and while this one is selling for a charity the base price on these will be 69
999 and no they're not limited edition ram will build as many as you want to buy
